the search for greener pastures is still on....

"the grass is always greener on the other side..."

"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" . murphy's law

i think any 21 year old, who wants to launch into a career.. which will make him/her independent... will always connect to the two quotations written above....
its a dream for almost everyone to be very successfull in life.. and to have a brilliant career with a lot of cash, fame, and name !!... (except those who already have the three... hehe)... and every big battle needs to start with the first act of fight !!...

my tryst with career (if i may say so), began last year when i decided to appear for the entrance examinations for MBA in India, CAT, XAT, NMAT, IIFT, FMS etc etc...... with a dream of getting a call from premier institutes, and converting it eventually (like every 2nd person who sits for these)...

I guess i choose the right path (considering 2 lac people in india did the same), but the vehicle was not right... i was never determined to slog and work hard for it... nor did i study... strategise.. plan.. nothin.. jus went with the flow.. attending random classes at erudite... and tryin to show to ppl.. the attitude of " so what if i don study..i will crack it "... which works sometimes !!

i gave my last exam toda of FMS, and confident of not cracking it.. though it was the best exam i gave, but then realising ppl all over india hav done better than me (still fingers are crossed), and when i look back, i would say this has been one of the biggest failures of my life... blowing away around 30 Thousand of my dads hard earned cash....

i am still not that clear on why to do an mba rite now.. mayb for the proffesional expereince.. a tag... degree.. network it offers.. the work ex after that.. expereince.. skills.. competence.. yeah.. good enough reasons.. but.. only if i would have taken it seriously .. i would have saved my face among a lot of ppl.. but.. as i mentioned.. the grass is still not green here...

but... life moves on..

and i am made to believe that anything that happens happen for GOOD... and there are better things which await me !!.....

i am starting to get some decent offers thru AIESEC Internships abroad.. so lets hope for the best.. to have the best proffesional AIESEC Expereince abroad... and.. i would definately try for campus placements and AIESEC Talent Partner companies.....so options are still open..

I feel very happy for my two good buddies.. Anuj and Sudipto who got XLRI calls.. i pray they convert.. and will help them a lot.. and learn myself too (there is a selfish motive u see ...lol)

but.. its high time for some goood deeeeep introspection.. and to get the career mode switched on again.. and get it kickstarted...

" long way to go before i sleep"

cheers and have a great week
