What happened yesterday...

I am writing after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied with the present one. This is going on for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world seems very cruel when things don’t go your way.
I have been active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of this generation but more than that I am mentally suffering from it because of professional and personal situation. The firm wants me to do something which I don’t want and for which I didn’t sign up and whenever I see my mom’s face in a video call asking me, if I have got salary hike or not I feel numb but eventually find a way to divert her attention.
Let me share something interesting which may worry you if you are my well-wisher. Yesterday after waking up at 5:30 am and getting ready I went to an interview. The place was big and I prayed to get a chance there but It was not meant to be a nice day for me as I was thrown away gently in the first round itself. I was feeling dejected, miserable and broke while coming back because it was a nice job.
Then suddenly I thought let’s try somewhere else and convert this bad day into a good day. I opened the gallery on my phone and went to the screenshots column which I had taken last night and then called some random guy who was recruiting people for something I didn’t know. I went to the place he called. It took me 2 hours to reach the place he called me and when I entered it I saw many people waiting for something. Before I could understand anything I was asked to give my CV. I gave him the CV and then after 9 hours and 6 rounds I was selected and got the offer letter of 2,54,000. Because I was very feeling miserable I didn’t take the interview seriously and was very casual in approach but I somehow managed to impress them with the confidence and skill.

I asked them to give me a week to think about joining, and as of now, I don’t think I would be able to make my mind to join it. The job is in a reputed Multi-national BPO company where I have been assigned Senior Operational something designation. My work will be to answer queries and complaint of the Amazon customers through e-mail but that’s not the job I gave my 3 three years in college for. I know that I will not enjoy my outing in this firm and soon get out of it. This is just an example how I was unsure about what I was doing and what I wanted.

Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains

In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.   My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay. Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a   web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job. It was really awesome roaming between mountain...

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...

Best thing about Navratra is "Bhandara" for Poor

.I have never been a fan of worshipping and praying to almighty God. I respect those people who follow them and pray for a better tomorrow but I never found the logic behind it. However there have certain times when I may have prayed, but that must have been at those times when life was most vulnerable for me or for my loved ones. And yes I have prayed once when I was batting while playing cricket too, like the great Sachin Tendulkar but this was  way before. I know I am going to be criticised for what I am writing today, may be I will be declared an atheist by people. People may start hating me or think I am goofy, foolish, witless and berk but it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have give a damn about Ram Mandir will be made or not. The only thing I know that my diabetic mother stays on fast going against the doctor’s advice and get sick. I can’t even count how many times I would have told her that her first priority should be health. But we know what these Moms answer, they ...
