State of affairs
Last year was a pretty eventful one, like the years before 2007. With the Almighty's and my guide's grace, I graduated from IIT, went to a dead-end job, chucked it and joined another company. In the middle, I managed to say off work for a good 45 days and made yet another cursory attempt at belling the CAT. Given the efforts, the result was pretty predictable. I can take heart that, if I hadn't dozed off in the last half-hour I might have scored a lot in DI and ergo would have "cracked" the CAT. Maybe, I really don't want an MBA really badly.
My good friends seem to be pretty relieved. Infact, all of them are in a better position than that of mine a year ago. One, the most circumspect and gentle, has landed a job with the biggest consulting firm and also scored the coverted BLACKI. Another went a step further and wooed a big British financial services firm into hiring him. He was non-chalant as usual. The temperate Punjabi settled with a startup but as usual, is itching to get into the rarified world of investment banking. The aloof Nagpur techie seemed happy with the offer from a data analytics firm. But I'm pretty sure he too is waiting for a better offer to come by. That, of course, will have to wait for the newest Heroes or Big Bang episode :) . The hard working branch-changer ,:x, is in the process of courting the top American institutes and landing the much vaunted fellowship. Sundry companies coming to hire his peers are not even a blip on his radar. Finally, the quiet gulti, the most determined in the lot, is surely toiling away in the microfluidics (?) laboratory and waiting to publish his next paper.
Good men all of them, each in search of that elusive dream job/app/whatever. Most of them bored with the monotonous fifth-year DD life. And eagerly waiting to get ahead in life.
I wish them all the best in their quest and hope that they get that proverbial pot of gold in the end of the rainbow. Or atleast something significant. Peace out niggas :)
