Caution:
Little patience required...!!!!
One day I went to a
bank to deposit amount into my friends account, I took a slip and filled it
after a hard research of banking terminology and was wandering inside with an
ambiguity of where to go as there are few customers or no waiting lanes for
cash deposits or withdrawals as it is closing time where sun is ready to kiss
the land.
I went straight into a
cabin with 3 closed sides besides to the other clone with some common banking
stuff on them. Both the cabins are empty and I am waiting with anguish as no
one showed up even in the private sector backs which are well known for their
customer services.
A person in middle 50’s
with height resembles to the south Indian with an incremental circumference
around his waist when compared to normal one, a round brown coloured frames for
his thick glasses, neatly tucked in his shirt walking slowly with a compassion
on his faces showed up. Sat in his chair comfortably and asked in a tendered
tone “what do I want?”All my previous thoughts evaporated with that question
and substituted with the thought of “ohh!!! Yeah I wanna rob this bloody bank
and I need your permission to do that” .I compressed all my bewildered ideas
with a smile and showed the slip which I have filled earlier. After checking
the slip he explained me some technical terms for the reason of not accepting
the online deposits at that late time. After seeing his explanation, I grabbed
a confidence that my work will be done but I have to acquire little patience to
listen to whatever he says.
He asked me what I am
doing, I replied with a sense of concern that I am doing my final year B.Tech.
He asked me whether I am computer science student. I nodded my head with a no and
told him I am an ECE student. He raised an unexpected way of question; will you
get a job with your degree certificate after the completion of your degree?
With a tone of
hesitation I said ‘Yes, I will get jobs but mostly not in the field which I
have studied all these 4 years ’
“Forget about stream,
In general will you get a job”?
Then I came to my
senses about a job letter of mine from a company which I already have, and told
him the same.
After a 15 min conversation I have seen a wide smile on his face and he heartily congratulated me. Literally I was surprised because no one have done that to me I mean not with that intention and happiness even my parents.
After a couple of
seconds astonishment I told him that the
company I have placed is a software company which is completely out of my ECE
domain and gave him a hint that I am interested in further studies. Then he inquired
about the salary package, I told him and again triggered about my idea of
pursuing higher studies.
He asked me whether I
am interested in his suggestion, I replied with an emphatic Yahh.!!!.
“In this present
scenario, if you have placed in any company; be it a software, core, marketing,
forget about the package they are offering you, Please take that with golden
hand, never ever abandon the job in this market situation”
He added his opinion
that, “in the coming decade, youth is the driving power of nation. The white
and golden coloured hair people time has gone to the extinct line, You are the
demanded people in any sector, just imagine the competition, if the industry is
ready to provide equivalent opportunities to you then India will definitely
shine like sun.
What if the resources
and needs don’t compensate the youth number? With that question, I was dumb
struck for a moment, he then clarified me that “the revolution will start with
rebellions formed my youth who are educated striving not for freedom, not for
democracy of country, not for the justice, not for religious or constitutional
issues but for mere ‘existence’.”
(He added some political
things here which I have skipped.)
He waved a goodbye to
me with a satisfied smile like an innocent child who got what she wants after a
15 min pampering.
As a matter of fact, I
was literally shocked while retiring to the parking area and the realization
started like a slow poison.
I thought India is
going to experience changes due to the youth driving force but not in this
direction of the evolution of revolts for survival. Till now we have been
invading ourselves with an idea of what to do? What to change? How to do? How
to change? How to evolve? All these self questing without the thought of second
person i.e., without the primary idea of competition.
Now the thought
provoked. How to compete with the mega driving force? Where we will stand in
the middle of rebellion or against them or a simple visitor in this whole act?
What we have to do in order to choose any of above scenarios? In a general
sense what is the form or stream of employment we choose in order to avoid any
offensive outcomes is still a question to me.
P.S:
Just a personal opinion.
