The past few months have been a liberal dose of reality. I
had been at conflict with myself on how to organize and present my thoughts and
at the end of it i decided to start something anew.
A few years ago i was living the life of a software
professional. I wasn’t very keen on it and wanted to get out of the cubicular
life style. Everyday you met the same set of people who talked the same things.
The bitching, back stabbing, goals, aims and aspirations were the same. The
hopes and passions rose and fell along with dollar rates. Everyone wanted to
fly ‘onsite’ and post the picture in Washington.
I tried out a few options. I did some MBA exams, appeared in
a few interviews. Soon i realized i wasn’t for it. Then the banks started
recruiting in hordes and i swept along in the tide.
I appeared for a few
exams and found out it wasn’t easy enough. Soon love happened and the bitch
also were into the exam mode. After a few years I decided to give my parting
shot and call quits with the Bank exams. The bitch pushed me into the final
one. As if for a miracle , i cleared while the bitch didn’t.
And like every other bitches she got hitched to a well to do
NRI and flew off.
Clearing the Bank exams didn’t exactly overjoy me. I was
still in two minds. Should I quit the lucrative paid IT job. I might have to
move around in different parts of the country every few years. The interview
wasn’t exactly tough because I was pretty comfortable with myself.
People still ask me if i made the right choice. To this day i
don’t regret it. I met a whole load of sons-of-bitches & bitches in this
one year. I’m not exactly sure if I’m going to climb up the ladder and be the
chairman of the largest bank in India. Moreover I don’t know how long I am
going to compromise with my values
