Lot of thoughts comes up in my mind to write but...
Lot of thoughts and feelings rise in my mind and lures me to pen it down here...Sometimes i feel ...not everything could be shared here...Sometimes my mind says pour out all your feelings... Past 5 months have been the worst part of my life so far...I am damn sure there could never be more worser situation than those i had seen these months...
I have seen all the worst nightmares you could ever imagine...I feel i dont have anyone with whom i can share these...To those who haven't experienced those...they will not understand the seriousness of my views...And i pray to almighty you should never experience those...And i dont want to burden my people with my feelings...If you feel this post is absurd...let it be..

What is your goal now
Yesterday me and my friend were discussing about our future plans. Future plans means what we aspire to become after 2 years..I said "right now i dont have any plans...i am enjoying what i am doing" He said "but this is not what you aspired to become...why are u supressing your ambitions just because you are happy at present.."
Let's rewind 4 years of our life.. we have just entered one of the premier institutes for engineering in India (thats wat they say..!) with a satisfaction that you are in the creamy layer ...What do you think would be the answer to the question......! Do you think a person would say "i aimed to become a doctor ..now i am still going to pursue it..."?? As the years pass by..you interact with seniors, get inspiration from them and decide about your future...Be it a masters or a core or dream or IIM...you work towards your target.. Assume you aim for a core job (say CMOS design to be more specific) ..but end up in a good core company but not a CMOS design profile...The environment and nature of work suits you perfect. You are contended with your present situation...
Now what happened to your aim of getting a CMOS design?? According to me.. with your current position if you get the same satisfaction of what you would have got if your dream is fullfilled...why think again of your dream...???
But that doesnt mean i wont have any goals here afterwards...I am just waiting for that moment which would instill that impulse of desire i wish to achieve......May be it could be the same old CMOS design again...Who knows....???

This job is not worth my qualification
While the previous guy didnt attend any software company..this guy rejected a job in a good company stating that the job offered was not worth his qualification. This guy has a software job in his hand..but his joining date is tentatively scheduled in the month of january
This guy cleared the written test for "PCB layout" ..suddenly he decides that he is not interested in this job...He attended the interview and at last he said to the interviewer that he was not interested in that job profile..The interviewer said "My friend! You have done well in the interview..If you are interested in this job..We will surely recruit you..Since you say you are not interested in this profile...i will give you one day to think over your decision...come and meet me tomorrow...."
He calls some of his seniors and enquires about the layout job...They said that job is monotonous ...quite boring..usually done by diploma holders....
He met the interviewer next day and rejected the offer..The interviewer said.."My friend..you are jobless now..and it will take a minimum of 3 months to get your offer letter in the company you got placed before....Why dont u work here for 3 months...and see if the job is interesting...If you are interested you can very well continue here la..." He said " Sir!! this job which your company is offering will usually be done only by diploma holders...I am B.E ..So I am not interested"...He rejected a job which will fetch 3.5Lakhs per annum...
What is the use of lamenting now...when u decide that a bird in a bush is worthier than a bird in hand...!!!!

Core vs Software
Most of the students in third year aspire to join a core company or a dream job...The latter being more obvious than the former...But can u afford to miss attending a bus company(first 4 companies...tats wat they call in BITS) with the hope of getting a core company..
I met one of my good friend recently..When i asked about his joining date he smiled and said he is still searching a job..he said " most of my class mates have joined in a useless software company which is of no relevance to my area of interest" "but i am not like them...i am searching a core job.." I asked "what is it that you are going to do now..." he said "machi ...i have applied for a 'on-contract' job in bangalore da ..salary 5 K ...will work there, gain experience and join in a reputed company..
Is a core company with a salary of 5K in bangalore(which is not even enough to pay your house rent) is better than 20 K salary software job...???
Any job immediately after college is not the end of your career..Does any one prevent you from switching over to another company after some years...??
