for the fiz time I am thinking wat to write..normally itz the other way round when it comes to blogging...strong urge to write about something make me open my webpage...this time it is the other way round...
now this is something which I have always thought and never got an answer...what would have been my right profession??...what was that I should have done differently....something which I have realised in the past 5-6 years is that-those people are so lucky,who could carve a career out of their passion/interests/hobbies...painters,dancers,sportsmen all come in that category....someone who realised in a youngage itself where their interests lie and developed the talent in that and made a career out of it....when i was small(as in during school years),I never realised the importance of that,partly because I did my schooling in a place where fulfillment of 10 years of education was considered as getting a rank in 10th standard..at that time,finishing 10th was the only thing in mind(partly because of the strong desire to get out of the school),then college,then like everyone else engineering....understood i was totally in the wrong path for the first time-during the 2nd year in college,when I realised I really dun have any interest in electronics!!!-remember, this was during my 2nd year of Electronics & Instrumentation engineering!!!....I knew I was at a stage where I ddn have too many options but to continue..I never had the guts to do something different at that time....but honestly that was a time when I asked myself for the fiz time what I wanted out of my life...what dd I miss realising about me....surprisingly the answers came out clearly and quite fast...my ideal career was either as a professional classical dancer or a hotel management student or a fashion designer...these were all options which I failed to consider due to the env I was brought up where everything ended and started for an eng degree....I knew that I would have done wonders in all 3 professions cos my passion really lies there...anyway it was too late...
the second biggest mistake I dd in my life was, or i still dunno whether I had another choice also,was taking up my job in Infosys....joining a company which considered every other person as a headcount....in a way I am grateful also,cos that was the phase which really tested my limits,and I realised I need to do something at this point to save myself and my career and decided to go for an MBA....why a foreign MBA??...many asked me and I was quite clear in that decision- I was looking for an experience and not just an MBA.....had to convince my parents how imp this decision was for me...
now when I look back,that was one decision for which I will always be proud of myself, a decision which really changed my life and me as a person...:)...
