Yesterday one my senior friends came to college to get some of his work done. This person was a jovial character of the group, well built, good looking; he had all the correct ingredients that make a person popular among girls and the rest in my college. The not so serious guy came as a surprising solemner all transformed in just about 5 months. Me and my friend spoke with him, strolled on the mall road (the long stretch of road in my college) and heard the harsh facts of the tough life which we have to experience after passing out of the university.
The words of wisdom coming from him were not new but... The raising of curtain from the fantasy world we are living in from him with his first hand experience pounded heavy upon us. The 24*7 time with friends during graduation which has become a routine now will disappear in near future. Till now we follow the schedule setup by the administration and live by that (at least try to!) but after this, milestones have to be decided by us which will take our life in the direction we want to. These decisions won’t be easy and to put it in the words of Neil Armstrong (modified)it would be, “A small step for me and a giant leap for my career”. My inner voice spoke ‘enjoy the time we have in the fantasy world’. This summer my cousins, settled well in their professional and personal lives, lectured me not to join any computer course for killing time. They told me to sit back and enjoy to the fullest. It’s now that I realized what they meant.
But the tick of the clock doesn’t stop and hence I need to stay regular with my work be it academics or blogging! The fantasy world has given me a reality check and the best part is, am still in the guarded environment. So as of now I can let my heart enjoy and let my brain do it's work independently. Till then I can wait and see what the future holds for me!
