There has been a paradigm shift in my life!Corporate life-my new world..Entered the so-called professional life..Its been quite an experience..and I am here to share my experiences with my readers..
There are certain days in our lives that we encircle with red ink on the calendar...10th September 2012 was one such momentous day..that day marked the commencement of my professional life..I joined one of the major IT hubs of our country today..I know software professional are a dime a dozen these days and I am yet another new entrant in the coterie of IT professional... although it was and still is beyond my comprehension that why on earth did I study electronics and communication when I was destined to end up here!! well..I believe certain things happen for a reason which we discover somewhere at a later point of time...and I am anxiously waiting for that time to come...however,this job is a new beginning for me,a new start,a new life... :)
The first few days has been very hectic..I have been jostled out from a nothing-to-do life into a so-much-to-do life.... I could hardly find any time for myself,let alone others..Thankfully,the rigours of the job aren't strenuous as yet..but the time spent in travelling is like ages!! Innumerable traffic signal points,packed to capacity buses(where if you are a hapless person and have to end up standing,you will almost feel like atoms being packed in a molecule,wherein your movements become highly restricted..phew!!),dearth of autos and rickshaws,never-ending queues in bus stop and to top it all-the unbearable Kolkata heat..All the necessary ingredients to make it a journey you would love to abhor!Gosh! By the end of the day my energy is pared to the bones..
I could see the waning side of my exuberant self.. :( But as they say-with time you learn everything.Today,at the end of one month,I am quite used to it...I am liking my office..in fact enjoying it.I have befriended some wonderful people,learnt a lot of things.I also have some of my old friends in the same office as mine who are always there to fill the gap..Its a new challenge thrown at me and I have to muster the courage to not only face it but also excel in it..
You know what the best part is??my feelings were inexplicable when i received my first pay slip..My first earning in this lifetime..The toil was worth it!! Unfathomable happiness,unmatched satisfaction and pure bliss :) My languid soul was enlivened by the joy and smile on my mother's face when I had bought something for her with my first pay.. It was just priceless!! The hard work and mounting pressure seemed a pebble in front of this mountain of blithe..Its a feeling of a lifetime.One of the most special feelings and I know nothing can ever tantamount to it..
Basically life teaches you everything.We should always look for the silver lining in the dark cloud..A modicum of joy is hidden in everything one does,the difficult task is to discover it..And when you do find it,life becomes a pleasant journey..I hope and wish that my professional life which has just kick started continues to give me more such happy and blissful moments and I can max myself out in this roller-coaster ride...
