Life After College Days!!!

When I completed my 12th board exams and had a more than 6 months long vacation, many of my friends who were at college then told me that this is a rare opportunity and told me that I will never get such a long vacation. Now here am I, sitting idle at home whiling away the time waiting for yet another long vacation to end soon and those same friends tell me that this time will never come once I become a corporate. Looking back I cherish each day of my college life not because I liked my college or affinity towards it but because of the wonderful set of FRIENDS who made each day memorable.
One of the biggest problem I face now is waking up early in the morning and now I wonder how I used to get ready and be on time to catch the bus all the 4 yrs. I feel  I was more updated with all the news around the world during college days ,thanks to the 2 hr journey to and from college which allowed me to gossip about anything and everything. There was something called Rules and how much fun was it to break those .
The excitement about getting placed in a company even before your final exams are over is completely lost when the joining is being postponed month after month and when you find your other friends working in some other company.
The worst or rather say embarrassed situation is when you attend some family functions and when people around you ask about what are you up-to these days. However hard you try finding a best suitable answer to the question , the answer seems to end up as sitting idle at home.
Now I can remember the HR panel who interviewed me asking as to what I would be in 2 yrs or so. If only I knew I would have answered sitting at home and waiting for the joining letter.
When many told me that I could have utilized all these days and learnt something useful, I replied back that these holidays have made me learn the art of patience and I am very sure I can even give a lecture to all the campus placed candidates about learning to be patient.
Life is very much uncertain and I just wish I never expect anything from it.I never want to look back at my life after college days because now with my joining in hand and dreams of corporate life , I just hope I enjoy the days ahead.!!!! :) :)

Walking Through The Lane !!

I was thinking very hard as to what I should do now. Yes, The clock showed just 5 a.m. Another short sleep was the only answer I could think of but when I closed my eyes. I couldn't sleep. Getting up from bed and trying to have a nice view of the dark roads filled with fog and the dewdrops in all the leaves of the tree was something totally awesome. Suddenly I don't know why but something inside me told to have a short walk this morning. I was completely surprised to observe that only myself, milk women and all the street dogs were present at 5.45 a.m . Although I am not that brave, I started walking through the dark roads without actually deciding upon my destination. Wondering why people who I met in the main road were all in groups yelling upon some gossip or other, I distanced away from them. I saw many people even grandmas and grandpas in their perfect walking costume with all the loose fitting clothes and even shoes, Seeing them I looked back to me , I could never walk with all those in me. I was walking in the Road less traveled now and yeah suddenly the electricity department  proved that they were all working perfectly. I could see no light at all, complete darkness . Now here was I in this road in complete darkness without knowing where exactly I was . I could feel someone else very very close to me. I tried to stop breathing and I could hear some footsteps. Now I became very afraid not because of what is to happen but I had not obliged to my mother, she had asked me to walk only after some sort of light comes. Now I could feel someone very close to me, With all the courage I had ,started walking. More faster footsteps could be heard. The footsteps went past me , I could clearly see the dog wagging its tail. I felt very ashamed of the way I had feared for just a dog.  I observed  many things around me happening all in just a very few seconds. Tender coconut  and arugampul soup selling people made quite a business from those morning walkers. I could clearly see how much people cared for their health. I was taken aback to see a size zero pretty gal trying hard to burn her calories in the maximum ways possible. I stopped and questioned her, her reply made me feel very guilty. She told me that she was not here to walk but to enjoy the beautiful nature around her as well as she told that she was working hard just to see how much energetic she was .She told me that this small brisk walk makes her very active throughout the day. Now I started walking at a faster speed checking whether I too was energetic All I could think was whether I would get up early tomorrow morning and enjoy the walk ahead. Although my mind told me tomorrow I should continue this habit of walking, Thinking about me waking up at 5 a.m that too on a holiday was something IMPOSSIBLE.

Unity is definitely strength

"Symposium" - I wonder how we actually conducted one without knowing the meaning. Thanks to our seniors and all the 1 day off or should say monthly leave for other college symposiums helped :P. I had always wondered why it was necessary to have a symposium conducted every year. According to me, This is the only best decision made by Anna university . I learnt or I should say We learnt a lot of new things which can definitely help in our future. My first surprise was in the way our department staffs encouraged us . Even the so called spy in my college Ayya , helped us get all our requirements from the management in the most easiest way

possible. Co-operation, Unity, Co-existence, Responsibility, Leadership qualities, Overcoming stage fear, Managerial Capabilities etc were some of the few qualities which I observed in my fellow classmates during the preparation for the actual symposium day. The most important thing to be noted was the way in which we were able to provide numerous solutions to all the problems which popped up all of sudden on the symposium day. I wondered why these solutions dint actually pop up my head when I was seeing a unexpected math problem or difficult question in my semester exams. I am proud to say I was a benevolent contributor and I cherish each and every moment of all the days we worked as a department and not as an individual and succeeded in making our symposium a great success.
