After a long time I slept for 8 hours yesterday night.Got up at 9am.Same routine stuff till the sun set.In the evening I attended a function organised by my friend.Her family had just moved in to their new house.We friends were getting together after a long time.We talked about many things from the good old college days to familiar leg pulling of the absentees(I'm sure now girls cannot live without it).A few elders started a familiar game named 'What Are You Doing?'.When my turn came most were unsatisfied with my answer that I'm pusuing higher studies."When are you going to earn?" asked a concerned(??)aunt."You should join a software firm" opined another.On hearing that I was interested in a career in civil services most mocked at me.
Of late a job in a software firm has become very prestigious.Maybe that's the reason that many people from diverse backgrounds like civil engg,mechanical engg,metallurgical engg and even humanities are getting placed in software firms.Very few are ready to slog it out for two years or more for the civil services. I often wonder whether this is a case of personal choice or of the famous(or infamous??) 'sour grapes' syndrome.From whatever my experience(rather inexperience) tells me in such matters silence is golden.
