The kid around here…………..

It’s been too long isn’t it? Any way am back. Lots have happened over these days. There were sad days as well as happy ones. I donno how I overcame those bad days. Anyway one good thing that came up from the bad days is that I learned that life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot and will not match your expectations. But that is life, says everyone. Now I will also say “Life is like this”. I have learned in these days more than I have over the past 24 years. See life is funny isn’t it? You learn much in a short span of time. In fact I have been learning too many things these days that I feel like having been admitted to primary school once again, the difference being that now I was learning the real life. No wonder why every employer was asking me “do u have any experience?” whenever I attended an interview in these days- “u don’t learn unless u experience”. This was true as I understood the implication of experience when I got my first job. Office is not the same place as you read in text books. I understood what professionalism really meant. I still remember games and role plays that we did for a PDP session on professionalism back in college, though we took it as a fun activity, It’s now that I understood how important is it in office. The first two days in office have been an eye opener. Though there was some strain in the first two days I enjoyed it. It was like “till yesterday you had nothing worth to do and suddenly today you are responsible for whatever you do”. For the first two days I felt like the kid around in office, a kid with an MBA. But this is life, you learn when you experience it.
