30 days of Unpredictability and more...
Saturday, March 20, 2010
Its like around the World of Unpredictability in 30 days. Feb-2010 to March-2010 would probably be the fastest journey I've ever made till date. Unpredictability and confusion has bee the integral part of my life and career for, the past 2 years, but the past month was undoubtedly the most hectic of them.
With my ailing father suffering from acute renal failure, I had to leave for Chennai on the end of January 2010 for his immediate treatment. That was the first instance when unpredictability started following my footsteps. The domestic flight we availed to reach Chennai underwent a mid-air technical snag, that left us stupefied until it got grounded. Well there was more to that, the flight ultimately helped us reaching our destination at 2 am in the night leaving us stranded at the airport until daylight. Finally the treatment commenced and the results wasn't really positive. Somehow, that unwanted journey came to end.
Received glitters of hope on reaching home with the notification that campus drive is round the corner. Naturally, I started working on it steadfastly until that unwanted notification arrived that it got deferred. With that, I was like thrown up in the air, without even a parachute. What came as a blow was the notification of the semester which was to be held in a weeks time,things were completely in a mess. However I managed to divert my course of action to work for the new objective, the so called Semester a.k.a the Rat Race. With zero preparation, I's fearing a massive ordeal with the papers, especially VLSI but somehow the exams were through, beyond my horrendous expectations. Still unpredictability prevailed. The results got published which left me shattered into innumerable pieces... In fact I kept abusing my respected profs for the entire week, for honoring me with those undeserving scores. Still, I's right back on my feet to look up to the next objective, campus recruitment-yet another Rat Race.
The three-day long campus recruitment process was yet again an instance of uncertainty. The initial aptitude test went haywire when my verbal abilities was questioned with alien like words and passages. I still doubt how we all managed to see through that test. But the day following it. was the most disheartening and
unpredictable one. People who never cared for the job got selected and some who'd put in their heart and soul in it were left out. It literally left us into tears, it was indeed an out-and-out injustice and a manifestation of the unpredictability associated with the corporate world!
Bagging a job is just another beginning to a new series of unpredictability, that's what my realization is, coz the day is not far when I might get fired despite my technical skills although a non-tech ass*** would still carry on with a job, which he's not meant for.....
I can sense more is coming up on this unpredictable journey ahead and unfortunately I've no plan as an alternative.....
