One More!
Well, This is another lame attempt from my side to write the funniest post of this era. I know that sounds corny(at least at this blog) but I am seriously serious. The idea is that if you really think hard, and work your ass out to achieve something, chances are that you most probably will. Well, this is a new thing for me too for I have never tried really hard to achieve something. But somehow I have been able to do just fine in at least some of the courses that I have taken. Courses?? yeah, I havent flunked in any of them, but then I havent really done anything extraordinary either. I havent even got any AA in four years when I was supposedly studying chemical engineering. But that is not the point. So what is the point? 'Law of diminishing returns', is the phrase that comes into the mind. I mean you study a bit you get a CC, you study little harder you would end up with BB. But to change an AB to AA you have got to put a lot of efforts. So how does this example relate to this post? I can be funny, that's for sure, but for being funnier I guess I would have to think. It is not going to come naturally to me. I am feeling like I have made a horrible opening, but I hope at the end of the post I would have something worth some appreciation. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to live up to the high standards that I have set for myself.
I am thinking of giving up this whole funny thing altogether. But is it this hard to be funny? Naah! Originality is the main issue. But atthis particular point in time I cant even think of anyone to borrow ideas from. I think I am just going to do some idiotic thing that would make you feel that there are people more idiots than you. Was that sarcastic??! Ab 'funny' nahin ho paa raha hai, toh I guess I am trying to be sarcastic. But even that hasnt got that extra bit of laughing riot in it. May be I should just give up. Duniya pahle se hee bahut pradushit hai. Pradushit. It is not any new kind of shit. Yupp! Pollution! No prize for guessing. Sometimes I wonder that thinking aloud for creating something which gives you a sense of accomplishment is such a nice feeling. You get something solid to look at at the end of the day. And new ideas have such a large impact on the lives of people. Man, I have wasted my whole life uptil now, but now onwards I am going to think. Think aloud. I guess this pathetic blog of mine is going to get the recognition that it so truly deserves only after me becoming a superstar in the blogging world. People will look at this blog, and say 'look, he was destined to be a superstar.'
And that is how life is. You have got to prove yourself just once. Like, I could have done exceptionally well in my BTP, got a paper published, and I might have got an offer of doing an MS from MIT (that is definitely not Maharashtra Institute of Technology) and my whole life could have changed. Or, I could jump from the window of my room which is at the second floor, and land safely on the ground, and be seen as a superhuman. Just once, we have got to prove ourselves. What is the big deal about it? This is not a rhetorical question. Seriously, what's the big deal about it??
I know I have digressed, and I will say that that was not intentional. But then nothing is unintentional when it comes to human mind, I presume. SOme where we know what the consequence of our action is going to be. Often times we just dont care, other times we do something stupid and lie to ourselves that we at least tried.
As the placement season is about to start I see myself as a perfect example of what not to do when you are studying in a prestigous college. I ask why would anyone want to hire me?? Would I hire myself. Ofcourse not. That is the point. COmpanies are not as smart as I am. I have got to pretend that I have got it all. 'Company ka chutiya kaatanaa hai' is how I fondly put it. And you may say that I am fooling myself, but believe me I am not. You may say that the companies have experience, and people who are going to interview you are the people who have themselves seen and lived the college life like your's, but believe me it can be done. One day is all they can get to choose, and that is seriously a very less amount of time for judging someone's chahracter. They might come to know the real me, and they might even fire me, after taking my over-priced services for a month or so, but a decent job at this point of time is all I need. I want to tell my mom that 'look maa. I am not going to fill a form for unemployment allowance because I got a job. I wouldnt sure be this cynic about making it big after I get a job, so even I get fored I am sure to land a good job in some other company. That way I would need around 60 companies in my 30 years long career. 60 is not that large a number right?? So this making fools of HR people, can be supported by various example. Like actors. They do it all the time. You see them on screen and you believe that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were destined to be together in Sleepless in Seattle. If they can fake love, hell I can definitely fake a persona that suits the company's profile. System have imperfections and one has to learn to exploit them. That is one of the reasons I like Matrix series movies. As long as you are powerful, you can always bend man-made rules. I said man-made because I see nature as the one example where you have got to follow the rules. Gravity is going to drag you down, but then you can use air to fly around. DIfferent ruled can be got around by applying different techniques. You need to be master.
When I was a kid, I dreamt of having some supernatural power, which would help me get loads of girls. Powers; like some of the kids in X-men have. But as I have grown-up, I have realised that we all have the important gradient necessary to achieve any power that we want. Trying hard to acheive them, makes you responsible and at the same time enjoy the power. I mean what is the mazza if someone comes one day and says - heys, here are some powers. select one you want. anyway, I dont think I have put it in the best way here, and this passage is open for more elegant writing and thinking. I just hope you got what I wanted to say.
I also wonder how some people attain so important places. See shahrukh khan for example. Isnt it possible for some one to just kidnap him(criminal mind???) and get his face and enjoy a life of a superstar?? And also, why dont people wonder that how could a single man be of this big stature. The answer is that people have seen him achieve his position. Again past comes into the picture. My 'History' defines me. You will judge me based on the work that I have done in the past. Sometimes I wonder why the past is so important?? I mean I can always start off afresh. And that is my strategy. I am going to make them believe that what if I have nothing worth mentioning on my resume, I have the potential of proving myself. But that is a difficult prospect. COmpanies are here to select only few people, and they know that they are a lot of guys with similar calibre, and they wont mind eliminating even more deserving ones as long as others are upto the standard set bu the firm. Yaa, tough times lie ahead. Why is past so important?? Yes this is a rhetorical question. From now on, I am going to work my past look good when I look back at it from distant future.
