No wonder..how we do it!

[Substitute the word "unbalanced" with "imbalanced" on my last post. It's only an illusion that i really missed it, rather diplomatically it was a conscious effort to see how conscious you were while reading it.]

I plan to write this post about the perfect mantra to success. This one would really interest those who are our so called "MBA aspirants" or the ones who are like me, "the non-aspirants". So here we are.

Long time ago, there was a girl, who asked her boyfriend, "O can you get me an MBA degree?". The boy asked in agony, "Why do you need that?, I am already an Engineer?". The girl replied back, "What about the status Q? Don't you know that it's the master key to open the locks of the gates my father has closed for you?". The boy is really in a dilemma. He gets sleepless nights, staring on the walls, thinking the goods and the betters that would happen if he really listens to the girl. In comes the question of priority. In comes the fact about where he would want to see himself in 5 years time. He takes a call finally, he tells the girl, "Look i don't want to wake up in the morning everyday and be the person that i really do not want to be, if MBA is the key to success then, i would want to be me"!

So by this time, i think we have a divided opinion about whether the boy really did the right thing or not. Let us look into both the aspects one after the other.

What if our protagonist had agreed to whatever the girl had to say. Mmm...He would have studied his ass off to become a MBA scholar from some mediocre institute if not the best ones. He would have had a Bently car waiting for him in the next 5 years time and of course he would have had a family with the girl (having baby sitters taking care of his ward). And then he would have a pile of nuts to crack. Now the problem is that, the same girl asks the man,
"You have no knowledge of responsibity, you always come late from office. Is work you life? Am i not anything to you?".

So our protagonist sits lame and wonders, if i were not an MBA. Well enough cast on one side, now back to the other. What if he was not. Mm...He would be an employee of an IT company (considering that they are best employers of our country). Living in a rented house, coming by office bus and yes, maybe still "Unmarried". But a lot happier, he still has a handful of dreams and complete control on his life. What happened to the girl? Well she is happily married to a guy in USA, who might not be an MBA but she has changed her preferences because now its all about shaking your booty in the United States of America. The place where she had always dreamt to be from her childhood.

Huh! So we are here, a breather. What confusion is this life? Well nothing actually. The positive way of seeing this is that, Live your life the way you want to. Most important than all,
"Follow Your Dreams"!

Do you deserve this?

No time to hover around. I shall directly come to the point. Let's roll back 20 years from now. The term "Engineering" (I was a 4 year old kid) , was like a substitute to "Genius", rather the other way around. I would grow up as a child, thinking that its too big for me to fill in those shoes of being an "Engineer". I never really bothered about it and neither my mom might have ever thought about it a single day. So i aspired very little and i became..."Luck by chance"... Well not much the same way like my ancestors in this profession might have done it. None the less, the "Engineering" mania was on in full throttle until....errrr.....Some terminology which laid dormant in English dictionary...suddenly wakes up bigger than anytime...Well enough of suspicion...I am referring to the giant, the killer, the slow poison called "The Recession"...

"Engineering" was a decent investment...approximately 1.5 lacs for 4 years and then a guarantee to sign the dotted line for a multi national company. Sadly the days are no more same and it has happened before than most of us might have anticipated it 4 years back. Suddenly the final year passout students are sitting at home, listening cautiously to whatever the rumour trademills are running. Suddenly there is a pause in confidence, when a father would meet his old friend in the market and say...my son is an "Engineer"...All of a sudden an engineering student starts feeling that he had made the wrong choice...Somewhere he hides the truth...the truth of taking a short path to survival. Depressions everywhere...What do we do now?

One thing to understand here is...that recession maybe bad to many...but this is the time when you can really ask yourself the BIG funny question..."Do i really deserve it for what i have put in"...Hikes that would give the exponential curves a shame...Did we really put in all these to get that much? I guess we know the answer...So what do we do now...that we have already plunged one feet into the sinking boat which was full of gold mines...If you really ask me...this is the best time that you would know yourself better. You would know your limitations and realise your abilities. This is the time where sustainance is more important than demand. The best always comes out when its tough...So is for us...Buckle up your seat belts...Take the plunge with both hands say to yourself that "Yes i will survive"...Believe me in 3 years from now...you would be different man...Actually this is the best time to really pay for taking that short route to success. To show to the world that...yes we were the chosen ones...:)!

After all...we created this money...we created this world...its sometime when the social ecosystem gets unbalanced due to our ever growing needs...something which is an artificial phenomenon takes the shape of a God's desire...and we really fail to prove that we deserved it all along...
