A life anew

the stars abound,
filling the sky.
twinkling away,
i wonder why.

what is our significance?
what is our aim?

crying over losses,
smiling over gains.

are we alone?
are we frail?

The rain pounding along,
along with some hail.

I wonder at the sadness,
why do we have to endure?

I wonder at the happiness,
why cant life forever?

Here I lie,
wondering through.

slowly to life,
bidding adieu.

The TCS conundrum

Being in the final year of engineering I could not get more pissed off as I hear people talking about jobs almost 24x7 around me. Like seriously? We live in a culture in which hapiness in getting a job is so profound that everything else including but not limited to Entrepreneurship sounds meagre. Son (from a PCO or outside the room) : Hello Mom: Hello, haan beta... Kya hua? Son: Maa, TCS! Mom: Kya? (in shock) Son: Haan maan, TCS mein job mil gaya! Mom: Mera bachha! Jaldi aa gharpe (in tears) Like, seriously? This is the state of most of the youth(engineering) in India who get jobs in various MNC's. Those who don't, land up teaching or preparing for some damn kind of entrance exam (even I am doing so, but its justified).  Imagining an entrepreneur is just not possible! Have a look: Son (from anywhere): Hello Mom: Hello, haan beta... kidhar hai? Son: Maan office mein hoon, aaj 100th customer mila! Bohot jald.... (mom interrupts) Mom: Haan acha the...

Entangled

Entangled I am. So ever entangled. The knots run deep, through family, through friends. I wonder at the grass, ever so straight. The rose petals, beautifully layered. Sea weeds, swaying gently. My hair is but, ever entangled. What makes life so complex? And yet I feel it so simple? Is it me or is it someone else? Playing games, mocking me? Why can't I clear the façade? Why can't anyone for that matter? Why is everyone, so, entangled? All I know is one thing, alas, no matter what--I break the glass. If you look deep enough. You find order in chaos. And then comes that time, when everything shines. No longer are you bound by anything, when the curls set free, you are still but entangled. Not by illusion, but by life!

Personal Branding for Students - The Need

In this era of competition there come many an instance where one has to decide between 2 or more people with the same qualifications/talents/skills. Lets look at it from the perspective of an employer or HR personnel. There is a process by which the decision is made; it has the following 2 phases: 1.  Primary Objective Here the technical or domain knowledge of the candidate(s) is tested as this is the primary work to be done and hence it takes the form of a  Primary Objective . This can be related to a technical round for engineering students or showcasing your portfolio or explaining work experience for others.  2.  Secondary Objective Once the primary objective has been achieved and valid demonstration of skills is done then one looks forward to the secondary objective. Now this comprises of the ' Human ' behind the applicant. One can consider this in sync with the HR round. Here basically evaluation is done on aspects related to the overall personali...
