To start with, I love writing but have never written an open-ended note. It has always been a one-on-one.
To start with, I am a Computer Engineer, working at a reputed IT company and I am just not interested in this field. I read books, articles etc. at my job whenever I am able to. While working, I am very sincere and hard-working but I don’t see myself too long here.
I enrolled in a coaching class for CAT during 2nd year of my college and was doing well initially but during the final days, I dropped out. My preparation wasn’t good and I was finding reasons to not appear for CAT. Everyone tried to convince me to take CAT atleast and not bother about the results but in vain.
My stand was that I didn’t want to appear for it unless I was good at it and have the confidence to score well. I won the battle at home but lost the battle of life. Didn’t appear for it. One more setback was yet to come. I was not getting placed in any of the companies coming to my college though I am the topper of my college.
All the mentors said that I will be the first one to get placed but that didn’t happen. Finally, nearly before the final exams, I got placed at a reputed IT company.
Life had other plans. After my college, I appeared for an interview with another company, which was offering a higher pay and was nearer to where I live and got placed immediately.
Now I am back here again, full circle, taking CAT this year with shallow preparation along with a job wanting desperately to enter into MICA, Ahmedabad or SIMC,Pune. I don’t see myself doing anything other than Communications as this has been my interest since childhood which I want to live now.
I want to do Masters and that too MBA and that too in Communications, I know that I won’t be able to rock in CAT but definitely will rock in MICAT and SNAP! I aim to write an article one day on “Life at MICA”.
Wish me luck and HELP!!
