So, I am not a student anymore. I am a working professional. This change took place on June 14th, 2010.
Leaving college was a painful experience. Leaving college also arouses in one the sense of excitement and a sense of the unknown. Joining the mainstream of life- where you stand on your own legs, where you work, do something more meaningful which you know affects other people, where you earn your own money for the first time and where you spend your own money- not knowing when you exhausted your first salary and are now on what you brought from home :)
This new life doesn't seem as rosy as it one thinks it would be when passing out of college. But once we start realizing that this is the life everybody leads and this is what you would be the rest of your life, you start to look beyond the campus and start trying to find out what's in store and the road that is to be taken.
For me personally, this life looks good. The fact that I am now contributing to the Indian economy and society brings a sense of responsibility. When I wake up in the morning, like most people, the thought that comes to mind is "Oh no... office!" After the intital endurance of the hardship of leaving the bed, the thought that comes is this is what one is supposed to do. Men work. Their is no other way of living. We work. We contribute. We do our part- however small. Every small contribution adds up in the final result. We work. I work.
Cheers to the life ahead. Cheers to life and cheers to production.
