The Next Corner Gold !!! Sumit Khandelwal

To write an article of this kind, one might expect the writer to be an inveterate...but forgive me, I'm not yet I dare to write.

School days..ah! Golden days of life. No tension, just fun. But hey, that is how I look at it today. Remember Jack, those shitty loads
of books, monstrous teachers, unfriendly ambience. Gosh! they made you sick. You never really enjoyed waking up early and rushing to school, did you?
Ya of course, but only for friends...

Xth over, and now looking for the gold. Running high on aspirations. took up science or commerce or whatever, partly as per self desire, partly
as per peer and parental pressure. Grilled it, screwed it, appeared for IIT-JEE or PMT or whatever. Remember those painful draggy days...lots of books,
lots of classes especially when youth is knocking at your door and testrostone levels are soaring...Thinking that life on the next corner
might promise more gold, you move on.

XIIth over and as in my case, engineering begins. Reputed college, high career ambitions, thoughts of making it big plaguing every cell of the body.
The buzzword taken up...Computer Science. Today look back to those college days as the most beautiful days of the life. But remember those tonnes of notes,
assignments, cruel ruthless mentors,shitty reports and projects, monotone life, placement rejections and what not. Damn! You think, was this the thing
fro which you came to college...Certainly not. May be there is some new door opening up for me 'cos this software stuff is not what I long to do all my life.
Do I?

MBA-ahaaaaaa! Excellent choice, great oppurtunities, stupenduous offers and for sure the ability to talk like a high flier manager. Yes! this is my next
corner gold. You land up in a top notch B-School and get overwhelmed by the idea of doing MBA. Great for a couple of months, but then...its no fun here Jack.
MBA is giving me nasty blows, and only to shout out loud in your ear that life ahead is going to give you more nastier ones.
Oops! An MBA Degree for challenges on the trot, an always moving life...was this that I longed for? Is this my gold or there is another corner waiting
with gold for me. Hmmmm...worth a thought.

Getting dissatisfied and looking for more, I guess, is an essential ingredient of the human nature. Man never really cherishes for long what he desperately
desired at one point of time. But then, that is what keeps him going, giving him the drive always striving for the better...

Thats life !!!
