Plan Ahead

I still remember the day I joined IIT Kharagpur. It was a new beginning although not a perfect one. I was shattered by the cruel fate...A little under confident and completely ignorant of the opportunities ahead. Always been the planned man this was obviously not the greatest start I could have had....

But his time it is different. I am as confident as I have ever been..Most of all I am not completely ignorant of what I gonna face...I want to take this opportunity to make up for the mistakes of my past. This means I should be prepared and well planned. Here is the list of achievements I will like to have on my CV the day I pass out-
  1. Among the top 20 graduating student
  2. Made good friends who will last life long
  3. Have extra ordinary communication abilities
  4. Got an internship in a top consulting firm and get a PPO
  5. Had been a popular guy in the batch
  6. Went to Europe in term exchange
  7. Joined a good club and make a mark there
  8. Took part in as many extra curricular activities as possible

When it rains It pours

There are few things in life which I had craved so much...There are even fewer for which I have struggled so much..I was on the verge of giving up.....This was the last frontier...The last try. But all the hard work and wait had made this success far more sweeter. I am a happy man today...Alas heavens had played its part and yes this time, for a change, luck was with me.....

There has been several lessons from this. The biggest one has been the realization that all small things and achievement play their role, of course at the opportune moment. You will always wonder why you worked so hard for something which had no impact on your life and some good day like this you will realize that it was the single differentiating factor which proved you better among equals. Moral of the story - It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is how you do it.

Let the celebrations begin!!!!!!!
