As an eventful year approaches an uneventful end... I brood over the events that have and that could have changed the history...
It was an eventful year for me, so according to the butterfly effect, it has certainly changed the future for good for each one of you out there on the planet.
I have chosen to tread a path that does not exactly fit into the picture considering my past educational history. An organised progression, something which i lacked all through my life.
For the past 2 years (before Nov 6th), I was working for Manhattan Associates as a Software Engineer. Life was pretty O. K. with a few movies, weekend shopping, occasional trips to nearby places in bangalore and few more futile attempts @ admission into a B school. (Not that i was, very clear why i wanted to do an MBA)
But, this year when i was again denied an admission into a prestigious B school, life has taken a big diversion. I decided to call it quits, and look for something that I loved.
I now aspire to be an academician, a teacher, a prof or whatever that you want me to call. So, I quit MA, and then joined Abhyaas, a venture by a senior @ college. Thanks to many friends from whom i draw inspiration and many more who give me that impetus to chase my dreams.
I also thank god for giving me a family that bears with my eccentric ideas...
I joined with the infatuation that I would just take academic responsibilities, but it is much more than that.
I am entrepreneur now...!!! (Yatta.. Hiro Nakomura style)
Thanks to Naresh and the Abhyaas team...
This was about the year that was... Now, the year that could have been...
Had i not quit, I could have ended up anywhere. Probably, at this particular moment i would have ended up in some pub with my friends @ MA. Life would have been mundane enough and I could have had my eyesight grow a notch higher by watching more sitcoms on my laptop.
This is my story.. what is yours...???????
I sign off for the last time this year... Meet you in the next year.. Happy new year...
Hope the new decade brings joy and prosperity to all of you... and billion others who are deprived of a chance to waste time reading this.. :)
