CAREER DELUSION

Only two years back, I was behind the table and now in front of the table. Here I can acknowledge the superficial gap between both the cases. Veteran Mr. Amir Khan has well depicted various aspects of our life in his latest movie “3 IDIOTS” which are really untouched either due to our negligence or because of our parental pressure for defined set of studies i.e. “engineering, management or medical”. Fascinating professional courses i.e. B.Tech, MBA, MBBS etc are presumed to be above normal courses and can create various opportunities in life. That’s true upto large extent because it’s a shortest platform for corporate world and huge money.

In the melo drama of “3 IDIOTS” there were various instances which showed a tussle between student and professor and their attitude where the thought process of an individual (Mr. Ranchor das chachar ) and other students and faculty was perfectly pole apart.

In our education, we do our graduation on our family terms and conditions and post graduation on the basis of appealing market situations. Here, the concern is not about our education but about our passion, desire, willingness and happiness.

There is only one question to all of us- are we satisfied with our job role and workdone.

SHORT STORY: An individual who did B.Tech, MBA from one reputed college, everybody had expectation of some fascinating job with huge package and happened similar but wont worked out for long because it was not his cup of tea. That job didn’t suited him for long and in between he got an opportunity for guest lecture in one of the B school in Bangalore.

That day only, life took some strange decision and he left his job and decided to work for education sector as professor in B school as “lecturer”.

Here the theme comes that “Either you love what you do or you do what you love”. In former case, One is bound to work and bound to love his work because that’s his/her bread butter but may be he is not really enjoying. In later case, one is not working, he is enjoying his work as hobby and hobby is something which one always wishes do because it is his passion or love.

Today he is the happiest one and enjoying his life…….

That one individual is me and I am Ranchor das chachar, I am Raju rastogi, & I am farhan Qureshi.

ALTER EGO!!

It’s been two an a half years when I saw him first, standing quietly in a corner of a big showroom with two innocent twinkling eyes. Since then it has been a love & hate affair. He has always been there in my thick and thin. Almost like a helpless younger sibling, has been victim of my transgression.

Every time my self respect is violated by an eccentric client or is tossed at the whims of my boss (who always strive to make things perfect and situation ideal) he has provided vent to all the frustration. Quite often I have deliberately used him as an escape goat.

I never really have liked, but many a times I have left him standing in parching heat on the mercy of strangers, while myself sipping soft drinks in clients air conditioned chamber. But still we are companions. Be it a hot summer day, chilling winter or romantic autumn we spend maximum time together.

My busy schedule leaves me with no time to take care of him. Though he has never complained, these days he is not at all keeping well. Almost like an alter ego he too looks dull and has lost his shine.

But before it’s too late I want to change things around for me and my alter ego …my motorbike.

So here I pledge to service my mo bike twice a month and go jogging daily and like my boss create an ideal situation for both of us. This is not gona change the world but guess will make us both better equipped to face it.
