(Yet to be) A Consultant

Thanks to the dilemma I possesed, thanks to the wavering thoughts, big thanks to my academic excellence and thanks to my enthusiasm too, that made me land at this place. Yes, this is Chennai. No, I am not talking about making into IIT. I am taking about my next life, after IIT.

Due to some reason or the other I had to start off (I would love to use end up) with a company as a consultant. (Don’t ask me what that means!!!) . I was called at kolkata to attend the training, and believe me it was fun. People with similar thoughts, similar confusions came together, some I knew, some I had to know and some I wanted to know.

The Kolkata trip was infusing with a disappointment about what our jobs would be but I enjoyed that feeling (everyone was like me, no clue about what is next; Psycho you can call me), It was about feeling bad who would depart first from the “city of joy”. I was sitting comfortably high for them to pull me down. But, dear, they named me first, in a moment of shock and hope (The job profile was better) I flew to Chennai.

Nothing has changed for me in Chennai, same old traffic, same old taxi hassles, and same old inclement weather (How foolish of me to expect a change in a matter of months). The office: “If kolkata office was like a BMW car, this office was like Tata Nano”; no coffee vending machine at your disposal and no canteen, “Life sucks!” I thought.

But soon the hope was there…things were about to change, I was supposed to be deported to Andaman on official work – yeah I can call it a jolly trip (for a person who has put up with Chennai any trip is a better one). The profile was exciting – traveling job for a consultant – ideal way to know things! Wow I was excited.

But the excitement was put on hold for god knows how long; It’s just been three months I am idle (Big deal!), yes 504 idle hours at the office, yes 1814400 seconds. (Forget the units, the number is huge). It’s time to go and demand for work I guess, anyways its with this mixed feelings of hope and frustration I start blogging!
