Yay Yay! I found out that my friend has mentioned me in a post on her blog. A secret mention never the less but how i love to flaunt it! couldn't help steal this post from her blog. And i dont love this blog only cos it mentions me (honest!). I'm soooo happy right now not going thru that phase in life which she's just mentioned. That phase is very similar to this other that phase. My class 12 board exam. i still dream about having to write a physics paper the next morning and being completely unprepared. but i am happy, i dont have to think about WHAT NEXT untill the next couple of months. i mean, at least till next year. [quickly grabs the phone, checks calendar. its sept 24, 2006 today. counts number of weeks left in this year and multiplies them with 7. all with the help of the phone. result- 99! shit! only 99 days of bliss!]Jammed Tommorrow!!! To begin with, it took me two whole days to figure out how to make your own blog, and hours to search for one URL name that exists.. and I almost lost all the enthusiasm of making one.. but anyway..
With so many friends having their own blog, some couldn’t stop boasting about it, but I decided that I’ll make one after all the uncertainty with “what your gonna do next” gets over. My complete sympathies to all those who are still figuring out what to do, to those who are still trying their luck; to those who are still confused and even to those who think they might have to repeat a year.
I admit its never easy to deal with this question that people can never get over asking “so what do you plan now.” What the hell man, you’ve just finished your graduation, it’s a huge achievement in itself, what more do you what??? Worst is when you have just barely finished your second year and still people want know your confused dreams :-/ and trust me now I understand people who have gone through turmoil even before I did, actually I was lucky, I know people who spend one year that way, completely paralyzed with people advising them and shooting their expert option of what they can do. One of the recipient of such behaviour told me once- “it was suicidal annoyance.” Damn!!! That can be really bad.
Some take it really cool. My friend was very sure he would get admission into this college but realised much later that there was no reservation quota for his community, which he obviously was banking upon. He couldn’t make it to the interview. All of us were worried about him. To pacify him we all called him. Guess what he had to say. “Yeah its okay, I have nothing better to do right now so am watching soccer.”
Some of them are the luckier ones, well or may be too much luck confused them too much. This guy got into google. Wow getting into goggle main office, immediately after graduation is something. But guess what he didn’t take it. He had a better option of assisting a director for a film in Bombay. Well I know he is very passionate about his dreams, but who rejects a goggle job? Now its one more dilemma, he has got an interview call from one of the top universities for a filmmaking course in Delhi. Hmm now what do you call it: confused over your future or confused with the luck. Wish you good luck man!!!
So you see.. whether good or bad.. this phase of life is terrible, annoying and irritating. Once upon a time when we used to get together, all we did was gossip, bitch about people we don’t like or share hysterical laughter, but I guess we’ve realised the hard way what is it to grow up. Now all we talk about is future, what annoys us and a little bit of unanswered silence.
