Dedication
To all those who still read me. When i can't find a reason why a sane person should do that. This post is an attempt to write in a continuous stream of thought and not leave many ends open.
We had our convocation yesterday. Kasturi Rangan had come down and awarded us the medals, Well ,technically he gave them away to only awardees. So our director gave us ,lesser mortals our degrees ,while those academically brilliant got it from Mr. Rangan.
When you come to think of it, how did i survive in a place which had 26 university gold medalists and others with bigger pedigrees, I am happy that i just about survived.I ended up at 66th amongst 87 smart asses.
A casual conversation with 2 years my juniors and i was again recollecting my memories of those days when i use to have the same insecurities as they have now.Like, have i taken the right institute?two years down the line what kind of job will i get? and if one had the choice of choosing over 2-3 B-schools,Did i take the right college?
Isn't the grass greener on the other side?
Another conversation with my immediate juniors and they were discussing what my peers use to discuss till about a year back. Committee rivalries, green company cracks, inefficient placement pitching efforts, etc.
A few months down the line when in placement mood, they would be talking of a trade off between Brand , Salary and Profile. Of how the ideal trinity is an impossibility and what should one choose above the other and why. Those pond side or PPO road discussions would go on and on and on.
And one day they would be placed. Most of them in Laterals. A few in slot 0. The least in slot 1. Guys from other batches in slot 2 as well.
A few months after the placements they would be told, the dude placed in slot 2 is in Vancouver.
Chilling out. And you/some godforsaken son of a gun placed in slot zero, in a blue chip company is planning to switch.
And they would say , Shit for what did i fuck my life in the last one year.
BTW these days my peers discuss about the time and speed settings at which you need to run on a tread mill.Which Bank is buying which other bank. Does Brand name of an institute matter when switching etc.
I am my usual self, blissfully indifferent.
Time is passing by.The wheel turning the same circles.
