Jam tomorrow

Firstly it took me two whole days to figure out how to make your own blog, and hours to search for one interesting URL name that existed.. and I almost lost all the enthusiasm of making one.. but anyways..

With so many of my friends making their own blog, and some, who couldn’t stop boosting about theirs, I decided that If I ever make one, I will make it after all those uncertain questions such as “what do you plan to do next” are answered. My complete sympathies to all those who are still figuring out what to they want to do with their lives, to those what are still trying their luck at various places; to those who are still confused and even to those who think they might have to repeat a year.

I admit ,it's never easy to deal with the question that people can never get over asking “ so what do you plan now”. What the hell man, you’ve just finished your graduation, that'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 this turmoil even before I did, actually I was lucky, I know people who spend one year that way, completely paralyzed with people advising her and shooting their expert option of what she can do next. She 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 into Xaviers Institute of Communication., but realized there was no Christian quote after his exams….hmmm now that’s tricky. He couldn’t make it to the interview. All of us were worried about him. To pacify we made endless calls to him from far far away. Guess what he has to say. “ yeah its okay, I have nothing better to do so am watching football match”.

Some of them are the luckier ones, well or may be the lucky confused ones. This guy got into goggle. 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 huge film in Bombay. Well I know he is very passionate about his dreams, but who can deny a google job? Now there's one more dilemma, he received an interview call from one of the top universities for production course in Delhi. Hmm now what do you call this: confused over your future or confused with your luck.

So you see.. whether good or bad.. this phase of life is terrible, annoying and extremely painful. There was a time, when together, all we did was gossip, bitch about people we don’t like or share hysteric laughter, but we soon realized that as we grew old, we became wise and all we talked was about the future and what we plan to do next.
