As the Curtain Falls…

A rather eventful end to 2007. Very unlike previous years. So, what makes this year special? Or is it really that special? Well, on a personal level, it surely has been VVS (very very special) for a whole lot of reasons.

The year started off on an anxious note. It was the biggest year of uncertainty. Everything seemed so near, yet so far. As the months rolled by, good things started unfolding themselves. So far, everything has gone well and I’m happy.

So, like I said in the previous post, it was exams time. The dark cloud and the storm has passed since, leaving only traces of destruction and bruises. That’s because, now I am immune.

The end of an era (my bachelor’s degree) could not be more eventful. Today, I can say I have lived each and every day of the past four years to the fullest. It might not sound like a big deal, but not everyone gets to feel this way. Believe me.

The transition: The Switching.

Now that we’re done with regular studies (where you sit in a space enclosed within four walls and stare into space), its time to get serious and start applying whatever knowledge we had gained into doing something productive. The project work. All the fun during the course apart, it is quite important that this is taken seriously.

So, my friend and I started looking for places where we could work for the next four months. Luckily, we found one. It’s a great feeling working for (I prefer ‘with’, it makes me feel I am a part of the company) an MNC. After having spent so many years as a student, the transition wasn’t as difficult as I presumed it would be.

There are some funny things I’d like to mention though. When in college, we tend to talk loudly and laugh our heads off even at silly jokes. This can be an issue when you’re at a workplace. Your voice goes up by about 0.5 decibels and heads pop up from cubicles all over the place! And they’re not happy faces, mind you. A reproachful look greets you. Another funny thing is why would anyone want to wear clothes that are supremely uncomfortable! (no offense to anyone, these are just my views)

The concept of TGIF (Thank God Its Friday!) is very popular there. I dunno about ‘there’ but I like it. For three reasons.

1. The week is finally over and I don’t have to travel that far.

2. I get to go to college and meet my friends! (after a week!)

3. I can wear whatever I want.

So, all I can say is 'right now, life's good!' .
