Do what you love to do

This was the first advice given by all when i first stepped into my post graduation.

Now that i am nearing my completion and with the placement season coming to a near close, i really wonder whether everyone has really chosen their career path which they had always wanted to.

Great Yogis in their 70's are unable to decide what they like and what they need in their life, how can a youngster in his/her 20's determine what exactly he/she needs in his/her life. The needs of a young person is dynamic and that is exactly what is human nature. A person who wants to do something now may or may not regret going behind it at a later point of time.

People get lured by money more than anything else these days.
Taking the example of placements, there have been very few people who really went behind the jobs they really wanted to get into at the start of their post graduation. One of my classmate went behind a job with a higher pay package, just because her friend was getting a hefty amount. Well she is not the only exceptional case. There are many followers of money here who sat for the placement process just because they were being paid a huge salary.

More than what they want to do, it has to be how they want their life to be. There certainly has to be a trade off between power and money. Either they sacrifice their personal life and go ahead and be successful in their professional life or vice versa. Now what is that i am BS here. Nothing except that it is not always doing what you love but it is about where and how you want to position yourself in the game called life.

There may be many who might come back and say you wont get peace if you dont do the work you dont like. But just one question to them "if they are offered more money than what they are currently earning, wouldnt they really give it a thought?". Well this question is just to the more common people excluding the exceptions.

CHITTI = 1000 ARIMA

After Ages i am writing a blog because of a movie and just a day before my exam. Well i just couldnt help it. CHITTI the ROBO has made me pen this down...

A big production name which has the money to invest how much ever the movie demands, a mastermind director who has been slowly nurturing his child project for 10 long years, an actor who is known for his style, action and punch dialogues, the one who has proven his acting skills numerous times, the one who is treated as GOD in Tamil Cinema, the one who is growing younger and younger as he ages, a music director who has taken an Avatar in this world just for the word music and just creates magic with his hands. When all these big tycoons join hands, then you can except the magnanimity of the project. For a long time in the history of Indian Cinema, no team had the guts to go this far and invest large for a movie. But for the first time ever, this team has really created the magic. They have elevated the Indian Cinema to the next level. This movie had the power of 1000 ARIMA. The director got his every move right. Every chosen character in and/or for this movie both on screen and off screen were simply perfect. No others could have replaced them. No words could just fit in to describe this movie. You just need to sit and watch the movie to experience it.

In short, A movie of sheer technical brilliance. It is a visual treat.
THIS MOVIE IS AN EXPERIENCE.

A day in the life of Student and Professor in College

Student:
Shit yaar, another day of boring lecture.
Sala firangi, i dont understand what he talks.
Upar se right from the first day of my college i have been hearing the same gyan. I would have heard this 100 times and he is going to repeat the same today.
i dont know what he thinks of himself.
udar ka sabse kachada lecturer hoga.. idar bahoot bada dikha raha hai...
i am just waiting for the 10 sessions to get over...
aaj bhi i will go at 11.55 jab 5 min rah jayega for the attendance.. Attendance deke bhaag jaunga....


Professor:
I feel especially powerful today.
I should make the session more interesting so that i can capture the attention of all the students.
There is something lacking in my presentation. Am i not able to reach the students or is it because my presentation lacks content. Let me make the power point more attractive, let me add more content which will benefit the students.
I dont understand why the students fail to make it in the morning. Is it because of the early timing. They are doing their MBA, they should be ready for any such challenges.
If i can instill in them something new today, that might interest the students and they might attend my classes regularly from tomorrow.
Today i should deliver a powerful lecture. Let me see what best i can give to the students.

The day ends a big failure for both the students and the Professor.

Strange!!!!

Lecture!! Lecture!! Lecture!!
This is what i have to hear for the next 1 year. An incident occurred today. I had to attend a corporate law lecture. The faculty was a young lady probably in her late 20's or early 30's. She did lay down some conditions in the class. "People not interested can mark their attendance and leave the class". This was not the only one she told, but this was the main rule(as far as we students were concerned). As usual, we started shouting break in just 45 mins of commencement of the class whereas most of the faculties give a break after 1.5 hours. She obliged asking us to take a break for 5 mins.
The irony was, half of the class just marked their attendance and started walking out with their bags. The reason might have been many, urgent work or had to go out or anything else. but isnt it the basic responsibility of a student to respect the teacher. And it was not that the faculty was not good. She was quite knowlegeable.
I am pretty much confused. Was it because of the age factor or was she not delivering to the fullest of her ability (according to those students) or was it because of her short stature or the students felt the course was not that important in life or etc etc....
The same applies to the world today. People in the name of being practical have forgotten the need for following some basic principles that are necessary to be a successful human being.

Is it a Generation for a Specialist or Generalist????

It has been a long time since i wrote something. I should be thankful for the wonderful insights provided by Mr Prashant and Mr Ravi today. That 2 hours meeting with them has forced me to scribble down my thoughts.
    I would like to steal a small example stated by Mr Prashant. How do we clean clothes? By using Washing Machine or by taking the pains ourselves. A company came up with a brilliant idea of removing the dirt using bubbles. They would break the bond on/inside/between the dirt to get it removed. If this comes into picture, then there would be no use of a Washing machine. This was the technology adopted from a Car manufacturing company. The company wouldnt have achieved this unless they had a knowledge on the the process followed in the car manufacturing company. A person would have certainly come up with this idea of adapting the technology. He/She couldnt have thought about this unless they had a knowledge on things going on around them.
   Another way of looking at this. The company would have recruited that person who should have been a specialist in research activities. Unless he had the knack of looking things that way, he wouldnt have given a thought in that angle.
   I have always heard this saying. A person can get things done quickly if he can utilize his surroundings to his/her advantage. To manufacture a car, i need not know the details of each and every part of the car, but i just need to know from where i can procure these things so that i can instruct my team to get them and assemble it to manufacture a car. But i should definitely know what the car after manufacturing would look like or how it would function. I believe this is going to be a generation for those who can be a specialist with a worldly knowledge and what they dont teach you at Harvard (Common Sense).

P.S -->
1. Mr Prashant and Mr Ravi - Thalaivargal.
2. I have not exlplained the process in detail as i didnt feel like writing so much. :D :D :D
