Reality Bites..

Back to Jobless days.. and this time its all the more grave.. I am right now lying down on my bed in the hostel room dwelling upon what the likely situation would be, once I pass out of this management course. Probably I would have studied for a period of over 20 years, and still be on the job-hunt.

These have been difficult times for the economy, the country & the cliched 'aam aadmi'. The recession has hit and hit very hard. These are the days of bust, and we guys are occupied with the thoughts of where we would finally end up after the placement season.. More optimistically,I personally feel I should be scraping through.. what matters would the profile & the take off from there on. The company I had done my internship has FROZEN any further recruitment and the "Dream Job" seems to be quite a distant possibility as of now.

The financial crisis wasn't sufficient to send people into a tizzy, that the Mumbai Terror Strikes had to happen. I have no right to comment - sitting comfortably in front of my black-box, I have been updating myself with the minutest of details as to how things have been progressing in the worst attacks this nation has seen in the post-independent era. Horribly gruesome and disturbingly sick!! No place seems to be safe nowadays.. Selfish, that I am, I might as well settle down in Kharagpur for a decent and secured living... at least you know you wouldn't be shot at, while you are walking down the street.


Experts have been talking about all the "should-have done, could-have done" scenarios, but we have been failing, time and again, in our attempts to cut the bud at its roots. Of course, nobody really anticipates an attack of a fresh kind until it actually takes place, but when you know how vulnerable the situation is, you need to act tough. (You, who??). Brave officers have laid down their life, but what India needs today is a strong, secular outlook with modern infrastructure to combat the goons.All said and done, we again hear "The spirit of Mumbai" moving on and being resilient... come another day and we still walk on !!
