A Ray of Hope, Finally !

Its the day that I was waiting for. The day when I would step out back into the world as an unemployed, carefree and a joyful student. The day of quitting the usual job, the day of celebrating and the day of being completely myself again !

Yes. I finally resigned from the rolls of my organization. Not just due to opposition of the monotonous job happening around, but desperately wanted to be me again. The idea of working came into this mind, only to take a deserving break of studying. But when I look back into my good old days, it seems the days of college were the truest and the most enriching of all experiences. The idea of getting up daily only to see the same old computer and the peers around was getting a bit too laid and sick for me. Maybe I am still not out of my student life yet. God sighted this, and voila ! I am back to studies.

I sincerely hoped that my own country would do justice to me as I had the desire to get back to my field of study, Engineering. The opportunities came knocking all the time, in fact for 2 full years, I was busy doing parallel activities, with not that much enthusiasm as before due to job hassles. But something had to break the jargon. Sick of the industry, I then looked on for opportunities, one was the usual management path, but was disappointed seeing the rat race. People are just trying to snap out of their routines just in hope for a better hell! It was later that I realized through my friends, that I was more technically inclined than ordering persons to do their jobs. I was very much apprehensive of the fact that this was a forgotten side of mine but the same people threw light upon it. Opportunities didn't click in my home country and so, I finally threw open the option of checking my studies in some foreign land, hoping to see a silver lining. With the road becoming brighter, and in fact luckier, I continued to walk. And finally it broke the hard ice. I got through one of the leading universities of the world, to pursue further studies.

The university that I am through, may not figure out in the best of the lot as per reviews and critics, but I am happy for the decision that I have taken. I wanted to stay out of the herd mentality of looking at the western world for a ray of hope. Now that the tables are turning towards eastern world as a better and bigger opportunity bank, this made me look into such countries as a suitable and viable option. Of course, options to pursue further studies are excellent in western countries as they outclass every other in the world, but to be frank, I was not interested in the rat race again. The same old faces back in school, the same competition and the same juggernauts was all that I was fed up of. So, I decided to plunge ahead and gave it a try, a sincere try, without the expectation of sailing through. Of course, there were other plans made in case this was not done, a lesson learnt from my previous years and peers. I was not willing to let this chance slip off my hands. The same academia, which I admit hesitatingly, came to my rescue and I agree that it was a good thing to have excelled as the top performer in bachelors class otherwise this would have been just a passing affair. Now that its confirmed that I would be flying and that after the celebrations, its time for the post processing work of migrating to my next destination and of course, getting relieved from office.

The post sounds that I am exaggerating so much but, this got to be one of those good days of my life. A ray of hope finally bestowed on this unlucky chap. Now to convert this into a good one. Of course, there might be days when the wild thought of entering back to the same industry might prevail but let there be as one cannot guarantee one's destiny. Hence, there need not be any offenses to the readers of this post.

Wish me luck ! ;-)
