Phase

Clearly, I seem to have completed a certain phase of life. Which? Let’s just call it a study-phase. Ok, for some this may not seem to be a rather big achievement but for me it is. I am not against education or anything; in fact I am very pro-education to a certain basic level. After that it is the choice of the individual. You may seem a little lost here, so let me just explain you my scenario.

I have recently completed my graduation with first-class results and I got a job even before my final semester results were out (A bit of self-praise is permissible, right?). In my final year, I was desperate to find a job since I didn’t want to leave myself hanging as I didn’t quite actually fancy further education. I wasn’t looking for something in particular but I would have been happy with anything which didn’t involve finance. I was lucky enough to land up a job within my area of interests. Good company, adorable colleagues, what more to ask?

When people tell me that you got a great opportunity to work in a good profile in the area of your specialisation, I have been wanting to tell them that I chose marketing over finance as I hated it little lesser than the other. This brings us to question, where does my passion lie? To be frank, I don’t know. I didn’t know it even while I was choosing my graduation course and I don’t know it now either. Not to worry, in the midst of this confusion, I got hold of a graduation degree which I call it the license to follow your dreams (Only thing is that I am yet identify THAT dream). This tag because parental pressure subsides a little though not completely since their next target is MBA! Fair enough. To my parents and to all my well wishers who recently suggested that I do away with my MBA as soon as possible else I might just lose interest in studies and become absorbed by the job, I am very overwhelmed with your concern about my future. I want you all to appreciate the stability in my life, a job where I work with dedication and not ignorance even though this not what I wanted. I take this to be a good learning opportunity for my life ahead and if everything fails a good cushion-pillow to fall upon. I don’t want to rush into doing things simply because that’s what others do. I want to be responsible for the decisions I take for myself and I don’t want to be blaming others.

It is so much easier to feed stuff in your blog right? Only if I could explain my parents and relatives ALL OF THIS convincingly, life would be much better. But I am such a silent cow and don’t wish to break their hearts either.

I know something exciting lies ahead in my life! J

P.S. Your suggestions are most welcome.
