Time: 1:46 A.M
Place: Study room at home
State of mind: Feels like time stands still
The trip back home this time seems to be an absolute delight for some reason. I think it has more to do with my WIFI house and me not having to move my lazy ass around to access the internet than anything else. It has been more than 3 days since I have been here but curiously enough, I still, have not switched on the television or read the newspaper. It is possibly very difficult for someone to do so, when you come to think of it, especially with the crap that TV channels throw at you. But I am not missing out on any happenings around the world, thanks to the people, who created the e- paper at “The Times of India”. It pretty much serves my purpose and I am not tortured to listen to the same news which is termed as "BREAKING" every time the news editor feels the urge to do so. I guess my lazing around also has to do with the realization that I am not going to have such leisure time for at least a couple of years once I start working. This transformation phase from college to life at work seems rather perplexing. On one hand, I am enveloped by the excitement of going into the corporate world (it already sounds so good, without having any idea whatsoever, of the consequences) while on the other, the tough choices one has to make from the umpteen alternatives available.
Also, many of us at college can’t wait to see our bank accounts being used, for the very purpose they were created for. I am sure it feels great to draw your first salary. The point is to see, for how long that money would last in the bank.
Well, whatever it may be, I am sure the life ahead is full of surprises for all us. The only hope being, that life at work must not surprise us the way our college did ;-)
