I have no money'
its really not funny,
Do you have anything to spare?
I know you do care;
For your brother just got out of college,
He needs to celebrate
with pomp and flair;
Log on to the net,
i know you'll do the rest,
coz you are my sister who is just THE BEST.:)
(Dedicated to all the elder brothers and sisters out there who make their siblings life better..:))

MELANCHOLIC DECISIONS
Born and brought up in a small industrial town called Durgapur where most people you meet are engineers its probably a sin to think of becoming anyone but an engineer.It’s a common understanding that parents pressurize you to become an engineer or a doctor but i do not think anyone was pressurized into becoming an engineer or a doctor here ,when you are brought up in the steel township the society has decided your future for you and you have fallen into the trap unknowingly.
I have always been an average student who paid attention in class studied the day before exam to score decently though many of my teachers where not too happy with me because of the pure lack of ambition to score high marks,probably because I have never been pressured by my parents to study hard or thrown out of my house for scoring low marks (common practise in Bengal).Getting good scores in mathematics made me believe that i was upto become an engineer, never ever thought of doing anything else.
I made it into an NIT after studying hard in class 12 though i could not make it through the engineer’s dream of cracking the IIT,i was pretty pleased with my result though not making into the iit has always been a regret(.ifs and buts like studying harder in 12,studying at least a little in 11 etc) it hits u more when you come to know that your cousins are studs in IIT.
After three years in this college i have often wondered whether i wanted to become an engineer ever ,at this juncture when most of my friends have decided to quit engineering and become management students i am confused,probably its this notion that there somewhere deep down my heart that conflicts with the idea of becoming a manager.
Malcolm Gladwell in his book tipping point rightly says there are moments that change the course of your journey ,i hope this dilemma would be a thing of the past very soon ,i wish to believe i’ll reach the tipping point of what i want to become in life.
