Career seeking: it never ends...we'r only human

Its 1 oclock at night and though this is my fixed MOVIE TIME i've decided to give it up for today. And why not... i've actually thought about smthing worth writing .
Note: this wass highly classified..bt not now. still i hope my parents dont read this!!!!!

I distinctly remember that day: 3rd march,2001...my class tenth Social Studies examination. We were at the centre, me n my dad. It was the 25th time that he was telling me : " Beta, bas dis is the time. 3hrs ki mehnat and then you can have all the fun you want..."... Soon i was in 11th.. Life was getting tougher by the day. IIT dreams, peer pressure, girls, IIT dreams....a vicious cycle. It was then that i heard it again:" Beta, bas this is the time. You can either make it or break it. Bas 2 years ka effort, mehnat and then you can have all the fun u want... Bt if you let this time go you'll regret it for the rest of your life...". This time it sure was serious and for a change i did give it a thought... but u see its difficult to tame a wild horse. I moved on... Thus ended 11th and 12th followed the same fate but surprisingly for me ended on a brilliant note.. Though the IIT dream could never become a reality, i still managed to get into a reasonably good ENGINEERING COLLEGE.... i highlighted engineering coz this is what everyone wants to do...infact what everyone's folks want their children to pursue... ughhh were is dis leading to.. cmng back to what i was saying, the pursuit for a career never ends. We finish with smthng and then the next thing pops up suddenly... Let me continue where i left off. As soon as i entered college the same ADAGE was repeated once more.. with only a smaall change. Instead of 2 years it had 4 yeeeears... But this time smthng inside me stirred. Maybe it was dad's eyes or perhaps the girl on the bus stand ( early days before the carpool) i decided that this is the time to work things up. So i put my HEART and soul into studies (ehm ehm) and infact reaped up some extraordinary results.... Here i must mention that i too like many others had decided to pursue the "American Dream"...for details refer WIKIPEDIA. Anyway, thats what i wanted after engineering...4 yrs before the actual thing. But some people thought it was preposterous. It was foolish. Dad said that " everyone's doin MBA dese days and you want smthng which is out of VOGUE. This is not done. You have to set your priorities right." And so dat was dat. The " American Dream" ended before it actually began... Thus like thousand of others i too joined the herd to BELL the CAT !!!! Soon i entered 3rd year of my engineering studies and it was time to start the MBA preparations... The QUANT, VERBAL nd DI seemed fun and i thought if thats what MBA is all about i'm game for it. But u see appearences are deceiving. Dats is Nt what MBA is all about.. it is just the screening stage. What it actually involves is business studies and tonnes of presentations and seminars.... And i being the introvert ;) that i am..was already having jitters. And so it startd...the downfall. Exam after exam went by and no success... i did manage to clear the cut in a few bt that proved to be futile too.. But what surprised me was that dad remained very supportive throughout.... and sans the dreaded adage.
So finally with all my options exhausted, it was my dad who advised me to chase the "American Dream" !!!!! And i was like what the @#$%@@.... is this for real ?? And it was.. Cause it was then that i heard the ADAGE again !!!!! ....ooooh maaaan.. But this time i'm not giving it away. This time i'm prepared and all set to do what i have to do.. i have my priorities sorted out and strategy is all planned..
And so here i am in the final semester of the final year of enginnering, all set to enter the big bad competitive world... the higher study thingy follows suite. I was lucky enough to realise what i want from my life.. though got a bit late. But better to be late than never.... But as u all know: we are only human... and its human to want more... and so i guess the pursuit never ends... but i hope it does for me..
