After a long hibernation, I am back. You can call this the awakening. But I have got better...
All my life I have always got everything I had wanted, thanks to my parents. And there have been times when my parents were not present and even then things did come my way. Then came the awakenings
The first year at IIM Kozhikode finance interested me, but then (in the 3rd term to be exact) came a change of interest to marketing after the Financial Management course. Deeming finance to be the area for all the studious people I stayed away from it, but for a few courses that I felt would help me in trading for personal benefits and my passion. I had no clue on why I took SAPM for the second time in my life to only make a D grade again. History repeated itself. This was the first awakening. Finance is not my cup of tea and for a matter of fact it was not my cup of anything. I decided to stay away from it as much as I could and ignored it completely though I had a major in it.
Then came the final placements. Very keen on getting a marketing profile I kept myself away from finance and IT. The first week was really tough, with, me not getting any shortlists and Pepsi too had revoked their PPI (Pre Placement Interview). Now in a desperate situation I created a resume for IT companies and started to apply to some of them. And my day came when my 3 years of IT Retail experience was put to good use and Wipro took me for just this experience. Having put IT in the dark it was where I found the final light.
Morale: Don’t force yourself into what you think you are interested in but in something that has an equal proportion of both interest and capability.
