Has it ever happened to you that you are feeling lonely, desperate to chat or talk to someone but there is no one for you. It had never happened to me before but today it did .Which is why Im able to write this second post of the day.
This is the second day of the 2 consecutive holidays we were given. My friends have gone home and I am the only living soul in this entire hostel. I watched 3 movies an a row, got sick, but there was nothing else to do. Then I desperately wanted to talk to some one. I texted my best friend who is in mysore(my childhood frnd). No reply!!! Then I texted my second best friend. Again no reply. Then I called my mom. She is not picking up my call. I feel lost!!!

Planning My Career
Hello readers,
Are you a student of engineering? If yes then have you ever tried to plan your future? Today I tried.
I am a student of Electronics and communication, 6th semester. Today I tried the hectic job of ‘planning my future’…oh sorry ‘trying to plan my future’. I took a sheet of paper and jotted down the various options starting from joining a company to being a lecturer. The options that came to my mind were:
1. Join a product based company
2. Join a service based company
3. Try civil service
4. Write a bank exam
5. Work as an engineer in public sector like BSNL
6. Go for an MBA
7. Go for an M-Tech
8. Join DRDO or ISRO
9. Become a lecturer in some small college
10. Become a lab assistant in some big university
11. Take tuitions for 12std students.
12. Start my own business venture
Well, considering my aggregate, I don’t think a product based company will ever hire me. Regarding civil service, my dad always wanted me to be an IAS. To turn up successful in their entrance exam, I need to learn two subjects having characters opposite to the degree I have. Since I have a BE, I guess I have to learn arts! Which is not so likely to happen. My dad works in a bank, so obviously he expects me to be doing a better job. Next option is BSNL,I don’t think that will be a good option for me. MBA is something I want from an extremely reputed university like the IIM or IIPM. But considering the chances of me getting a 90th percentile in CAT is impossible. Next is DRDO and ISRO; it may not be a good option considering the salary they pay.
After short listing the options, four of them entered the semi finals.
1. Go for an M-Tech
2. Join a service based company
3. Become a lecturer in a small college
4. Start my own business.
After some more thinking, I came up with the solution
- First ill work as a lecturer and at the same time study for GATE. Ill keep attempting GATE till I get a rank good enough to take me to the IISc.
- Ill do my M-Tech in the IISc and then ill work as a lecturer in a reputed university having R & D.
- Ill do a lot of research in that university and get a PhD from IISc or the IIT.
- Then ill get a title called professor, so ill start writing text books on the subject in which I have done research and at the same time present papers at international level.
- Once my text books become popular, I am sure ill get offers from other universities(reputed ones) to take up as an HOD.
- Ill work in that university and go on writing books for a decade or so(once I become popular, more the books I write, more will be the money I earn).
- There are good chances that ill get an offer for the post of principle.
- Ill retire at an age of 60 with an awesome bank balance and good health.
