It all started with me thinking bout my career plans. I’m a 21 yr old just about to finish my B.E. in biotechnology, a very happening field. I happened to answer a campus interview for an IT company and easily managed to get through in the first attempt. Well that’s almost a year ago and now that I’m nearing my graduation I started some serious thinking of where am I gonna land up?! IT is definitely not my forte so I crossed it off the list. Going for higher studies is not an option right now for me, so that’s on hold. Getting a biotech job in the field of my choice seems highly unlikely considering most of them demand work ex or prefer B.Sc. or M.Sc. pass outs. They’re not excuses; I’m just trying to narrow down my options.
I thought of alternative career options, something that I’d love to do and I’m good at. And I knew it in my heart that it had to be related to the English language and creativity. I’m not planning to be a writer...well I haven’t given it a thought. I discussed it with a friend of mine, who loves his job. He chose a field of his interest and it gives a sense of hope to me when I see him so happy in what he’s chosen as his path. I’d like to be there someday. He suggested I start writing little articles for papers and magazines, to start blogging. That was new to me, but I remembered an article in RD of how everyone who’s out there on the net breathing oxygen is blogging. So I thought hey why not me? Also I came across a debate in “we the people” in NDTV on blogging, the positive and negative effects, whether it needs to be regulated etc. It set me off thinking what could I write about?
This was something I’d tapped couple o weeks back n I finally manage to get into this world of blog...As for what I can possibly write... “Anything and everything” is the answer I discovered after going through quite a few blogs, so here I am.
Few things I’m certain of as yet is that I’ll definitely be on the look out for a BT job cuz the latter option of landing into an IT sector gives me nightmares!!! As of now I’m as lazy as a sloth. Don’t know for how long these blissful days will last hmmmm...
I’m glad to have entered the world of blogs cuz the heights of desperation had driven me to write testimonials for my closest friends on orkut...well that was fine but then I was also doing all these stupid movie quizzes on facebook!! Prior to that I was so idle that I ended up reading a novel a day...at least now I feel I have something worthy of my time.
This was supposed to have been pasted 2 days back!! But the delay is cause I couldn't come up with a blog name...
May be that’s gonna be my next topic :)
