Make it a LARGE

There are times when one doubts what will become of your life. This thought is prominent when you are just out of college and is looking in all directions. Especially so, if you are out of a prominent government engineering college in kerala, and had utilized the four (glorious !!) yerars you had there for everything except studying.

There are many plus ponints of being in a college. And the best one is, you don't feel ashamed to ask your father for money. But the very moment you are out of your college, the consious start to stab you. ET TU BRUTE!

And if your luck ran out before the interview boards that appear in the college as if to show their sympathy and rescue a few engineers from the inevitable harassment from their relatives, you are staring into a large bloody blackhole ready to suck you in. And you get afraid.

You become painfully aware of your mobile bills. You realize that drinking will solve your problems temporarly, but cant find the funding even for a 60.  The only consolation is the few friends who managed to get placed in well to do positions (read cash cow jobs).

As every cloud has silver lining and at every tunnel's end there should be light, you tell yourself ; this too will pass.
There is an advertisement campaign by a well known brand in which people ask themselves "have i made it lage?". Saif, Gautham to name a few. Have they made it large? Who are you kidding.!!

You hear stories of successful people, who literaly had to beg during the initial stages of their career. And that is hope. Keeping everything alive.

You sing, ' i shall overcome some day'. And you wait...........

The Infectious

why is it so? This is a question that we often learn to suppress as we grow up. These words i heard during a training session got me thinking. Why do we stop ourselves from asking questions?

I do have a lot of questions. Some are my own, and some i pick up from my surroundings. Some i donn't know the answers for now, but will find out on my own. Some i need others to answer. And finally there are some, that someone has to answer reluctantly.

Knowing is understanding. And understanding is the key to believing.

Adios
