College life is sure the best life one can have...especially in an engineering college...which consists of a lot of JHOLS!!The last year comes and u get all excited and nostalgic to attend every college event...not miss a thing...enjoy to the fullest...have full dhamaal!On campus placements too come into the picture...4 years of work(can't say hard work :P ) finally paying off...each classmate in competition with you..you sit with all determination to crack those rounds and in a number of companies...waiting eagerly for the results...AND finally the result day comes...and u are PLACED!! Its like the best feeling one can ever have !!College gets over and u wait for your joining into the company...waiting for the transition of college to corporate !!
Suddenly out of the blue you come to know that the joining has been delayed...it crashes u down mentally and emotionally...all that to-do-list-of-your-first salary comes on a hold...so so bad...you start cursing the company...the college and what not that comes to your mind !! Then you start searching for jobs off campus...and you realize that...life outside college is so difficult !!You try n try n just keep trying...for a decent enough job to support your living...Every place has a cut throat competition...its like a never ending race...a rat race..(My classmates who have started working tell me that life in an MNC is nothing more than a dog's life!) Although i haven't started working...but i do connect to my classmates thoughts !! It sure is a RAT RACE..to earn more..to be on top....n blah blah..
The free time that i got after college and by Date Of Joining getting postponed..i tried teaching to poor BMC children on the roadside(aaganwadi)..it was a wonderful feeling...the satisfaction after teaching was immense..(passing on the knowledge,talking to them)..and its really amazing to see their grasping power of things...i taught thinking that it would be a good time pass...but now i actually feel that one should do some social work in one's life...it takes our mind off the RAT RACE!!
But you can't ignore the rat race completely..after all..our living depends on it ...so i continue applying for jobs...n i hope i get a decent one soon!
