Yes, copiers you can copy from
here! It was my ‘Written analysis and communication’ class, when my professor
gave homework– “Describe last one year of your life in 300 words”. Only 300
words! Not even one word per day. Anyway, here is what I submitted. And I guess
this is the only subject where one can put their assignment in their blogs.
Here I begin:
As I look back in my last one year, I find a
lot of activities which have given various dimensions to my experience. I was
working with TCS where I changed two projects in a year. In parallel I prepared
for MBA entrance exams and gave all the exams one by one till December 2011.
And not to forget the most interesting week of the year; my elder brother’s
marriage in February 2012. Lastly in June, I took admission in IMT. Now,
sitting in my desk, in my comfortable AC room, I’m trying to sum up my one year
of life in 300 words. Given the life expectancy of an average Indian male i.e.
63.2 years, my biography, if at all, should contain 18960 words, approximately
95 pages! Typical me; Engineer by birth!!
I will describe the most
important event, which I call “experience booster” in my life. The last day at
my office: I couldn't gauge my ambivalent emotions. As I moved out of main gate
with release letter in my hand, a kaleidoscope of all the days I spent here,
flashed through my eyes. How can I forget the first day in Lucknow when my RMG
told all the new joiners to have good time on bench till project is allocated?
How can I forget the first day when I found a girl sitting beside me in office
library, who is too cute to ignore? How can I forget the first day when I
discovered that the office canteen serves Chicken Biryani in just rupees 40 [Given
the current rate of exchange, its less than $1 for you, sir!]?
I looked at my release letter
once again. It read “You will be released from the services of the organizations
from the close of office hours of 25-May-2012.” I looked at my watch. I still
have three and a half hours. Should I go back to office library once again?
“Hey! Why are you so silent?”
nudged me out of my thoughts; my two friends Sourabh and Sopan, who were
walking by my side.
One thing that is
constant in life is change and we must adopt it. My office, apart from giving
some technical skills and certificates, added plethora of intangible
experiences. I will treasure these assets for lifetime.
