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...
