Never give up..
Its been so difficult finding self in some shoe which were not made for you.
That’s right, I am talking about the stage of my life, where I am trying to find a job, its so hard to find a job these days. I know, some days are fun, some are so hard that make me cry at nights, some are motivating. Days have been flying by, I hold a degree where I have no whereabouts as to what are its capability. If someone asks me, what can you do with this degree that you hold onto, I have no answer.
People work their entire lives, they know exactly where they would end up. I have a friend, whom I know is really amongst the best friends that I cherish till date. He has been my friend for almost a decade now.
We were having a discussion regarding the Management Consultancy companies who give chances to only IIT/IIM graduates. This is a point we both agreed to, they have worked hard to be in that category and honestly I respect it a lot. I was suggesting that it should be declared directly if IIT/IIM student is a requirement and criterion of selection as in our country its the college you study matters and not what you know about what you have studied. As said in 3 idiots movie, “Grade creates divide, it feels like a caste system.” These management consultancy companies want best employee and which is fair, but the screening process is easy, 1 job, 1500+ applicants, look out for IIT/IIM graduates, then graduates from NITs and then if required go through the rest lot of crap (where I stand today). If screening of application, which is just a meager representation of someone on a piece of paper being estimated that, yes the candidate is a perfect fit and if the screening process calls for such a class, it should be declared and thus allowed in India I hope. I don’t discriminate the people at IIM/IIT. I have friends who are from such institutions and they are brilliant. Its the companies whom I feel people like me are at war. I just wish, I can get a job and the day I have to hire someone, I shall change the hiring process, anyone who has the potential, be it from a simple university or college but talented should be offered a chance to prove himself/herself.
Competition is not over because, one thing is for sure. Greatest thoughts and inventions has come from someone unknown in beginning of their times.
Greatness is a result of spark of motivation and not bulk of education.
At end I know, many have given up on me, the hope to qualify me as successful but yes, I have one, a hope to shine for, a hope that I will come out successful out of this shell, brightest star that shines, initially has to come in existence. I am in existence, I am alive, I am fighting and this struggle would not go in vain.
When no one is their to motivate you, get up, smile and say to self, “It is going to be fine, I am doing great till now.”
In the end, today at 24 January 2010, at 3:31 am, I sign off to move into a sleep where dreams have no limit.
