Finally back to blogging after a long hiatus...have a lot of things about but can't seem to put it into writing..I m finally realising that I am perhaps not as good at expression and writing as I had made myself believe...I mean I never win any essay writing competitions even though I put in efforts. Faced the first group discussion in my life and spent the entire 10 minutes in trying to get over the shocking realisation that people can be so aggressive and so loud to get their points across to others. I never felt that dumb(literally) in my life.And we(they) hardly discussed any substantial points (in my opinion).Five minutes into it,I got so pissed off that I just decided to keep quiet and let them howl.
I really don't know but if the GDs that one has to face while getting screened for jobs are remotely similar to what I saw...its a hopeless future that I see...
Coming to how to deal with such situations and people in life..I really dont know how to...for I have in mind two equally convincing yet contradicting theories (or whatever it should be called)..The first is that one should try to adapt to the situations, have that go-getter kind of attitude and be as aggressive,vociferous and vehement as they are in their attitude because in the end, all that matters is that we get our points accross...I mean that we achieve our objective...Now I dont know if I can take to this but I can probably, if I try hard enough...
The second one is two stay as one is and not behave in a manner that seemed so offensive when one was at its receiving end. Personally the kind of behaviour was repulsive..and how can I behave in a manner that was so disgusting to me. This theory probably says that in the end, one's abilities and talent would speak for themselves...whatever is worthy of appreciation will ultimately shine through...
I dont know which one is right..or seems more right or which one works for me...in short..I just dont know..
The same way when it comes to studies...I mean to put aside all the grouses against the education system and study hard considering it to be my responsibility or to shun whatever I think is useless (somethings are)...
There's one side that says that one has to be clever, a glib talker, ambitious competitive and extrovertive to find success, any sort of success I mean, work and more importantly in relationships and dealings with people...and there is the other side that says that its the inner goodness that counts, that asks us to stick to our ideals(that usually comes from my mother and co.)
Its all so remarkably confusing !!!

ahhan..deja vu !! the post js took me a decade bak in my lyf...wen i faced the similar question !!and wat i have figured out is that the only thing important to succed is discipline...wateva path u chose, wateva strategy u formulate, js stick to it !! as long as the path is not morally corrupt and illegitimate, all of them lead us to the goal..its js a matter of choice and suitability...fishes swim to their goal, while birds fly to it...key is perseverance...i think too much pravachan ho gaya...waise..u r gud at expressing things...the most difficult part is expressing confusion and i feel u have expressed it nicely !!!
Hi Rolly,
Nice article!!
Your writing skills are good. Don't underestimate them. You could also try writing fiction.
