GLEAMS UNRAVELLED

It was during the Team Introduction that such a question was put in front of me.
“What would have you been if you were not a software engineer? “
I wonder. I wonder. I keep wondering.
And startlingly some ten thoughts came to my mind.

TEACHER
Yes. A school teacher .Playing with the little kids, teaching them, grooming and bringing them up. Sigh... give up...

LECTURER
Teach budding youngsters. Have fun with them and. enjoy
And always remain nostalgic about my good old college days.

RADIO JOCKEY
Yup. This is still an ongoing ambition for me.
I wanted to yell out ‘Good morning people of Chennai’. Radio mirchi or Radio city who minds. Someone please gimme a chance :)

JOURNALIST
Don’t you make out from my blog that I quite fit that job??

REPORTER
This is Jayachithra reporting from Chennai for CNN-IBN‘s cover story
Shessh…

SINGER
At least one song. AR Rahman... Read my blogggggggg: D
I know you will want to kick me now. Can’t help it. :)

And the most main thing.
DOCTOR
Yea yea… I had such high scores and everyone expected me to become a doctor.
Thank god. World is saved. Hehe...

Now I am a Software Engineer. Hitting my keyboard and glued to my monitor.
And there is nothing more to add to this.
I know it is the same case with you too.
Different ambitions, different desires, but different destinations.
But all is well... :)

She was mighty.
She stood in front of me.
I was looking at her with wide eyes.
She had a welcoming face.
She was majestic .
I wasn't sure if she was going to welcome me again.
I plainly left her and walked away.
I missed her.
I Wanted to adorn her again.
I wanted her to call me.she did.yes she did !
It was a place where thousands of people walked in with ambitions
To make their life successful.
Where great minds met each other
And innovations blossomed.
People exchanged thoughts and built carreer.
I was a kid in this world.
Corporate world was new.
Bangalore was new .
I sensed no familiarity with anyone around
But she welcomed me.
I was sure to smile back at her
for she defined my destiny.
My stepping stone of success.
It was in one of those hottest days of summer
when i had come for my interview.
she seemed great.
And now i see raindrops fighting to adorn her.
she is still appealing.
With trainings ,knowlegde transfers ,meetings and discussions,
here goes a long way for me with my sculptor !
