The (internship) hunting season is full on-resumes being updated as even a word can cause a difference, sites being scourged, any email notifications that comes bring about anticipation, disappointment and then frustration.
The companies are least bothered about whoever they recruit i the best or not - they just want someone who fits the bill. Unfortunately, majority here is made from the same mold. So I may not be very different from someone else. Indian Education system is way ahead in one technology - cloning. They have successfully not created clones but morphed a set of humans to one clone. Should I blame the education system ? Who asked those humans to go with the flow, and not dare something different.
Among many of us there is a fight internally - cash or interest. Because many times the internship offered is not in the field of interest. What to do, big companies cant trust interns to do great work...Neither can I ;)
So as I see someone get an internship while I failed the lat rounds, I just tell myself that my chances of getting something in my area of interest are still there, maybe low, but they exist.
I just compare this period of waiting for an internship to a course in an ashram. IT is like a real life game - there s misery and frustration around, cash is limited, a lot of low qualities are seen, people around are seen in their worst forms. And in that, if I observe what is around me, and be the "lion" among the sheep. If I try to understand everyone around me, to forgive, forget, be happy and spread happiness, do I win the game? I atleast will go to the higher level in the meaning of my existence.
A few months back I used to have this thought many times in my head. It is as though totally people from different walks of life have been picked and made to stay together. And they are not given ALL that they wish for. And its like hell, as everyone is fighting to survive, and so the virtues of man have disappeared, people have descended to lowest form of living.
And I am thankful I see it as a game. Guess it shows the change in my head.
Looks like agnostic and atheistic "belief" is out of my system.
Back to my undergrad self...
How does it feel?
Feels like a young 17 year old, her thoughts and her beliefs her own...
