Why is it necessary to get serious in life???

There comes a time in our life when we start thinking about our life, our future. A time comes when we have to decide, when we have to make a choice and the whole life will depend upon the choice that we make today. Probably we will make it through, probably we won’t. No one knows what's there on our cards; no one knows what will happen tomorrow. People live their whole life with this notion in their head that if we fail today then we can never succeed in our life. But this is just our misconception, the truth is doesn’t matter how many times we fall we have every chance to get up the very next moment. A week before, I was enjoying my Industrial Tour in Kerala; I never thought that today I will be thinking about my future with so many deeply engrossed thoughts circulating into my head. But here I am totally clueless what I will be two years from now on… And when you are in third year engineering there are only two thoughts circulating in your head the whole day - whether I will get placed in some reputed company or I will screw it up big time.

Now you must be thinking that why I am talking about so serious stuff all of a sudden. A guy who always write about love, friendship relationships today all of a sudden how he is talking about stuffs like studies, future and placements…

It so happened that few days ago TCS came to our college for its recruitment, (I hope everyone knows what TCS is, for people who don’t know, please Google it) and only 858 students got selected which is way too low compared with the last year placements. This year the target was to recruit 1500 students by TCS but unfortunately this didn’t happen. This was the not the only thing, another mass recruiter of our college Accenture had some issues with our college and they are not sure whether they will be recruiting this year from our college or not. Till last year when we were not even bothered about all these things then things were going way too smoothly, our college was showing great results in campus placements. And when our time was just at a distance of a year then only things had to become worse.

Now I can say that life is unpredictable which has been my favorite quote since past four years…

Today I wish I was still a kid. Why I grew up so fast? Things were so good when we were kid. Wish I could go back to that time even if it is for few seconds; I would like to relive all those moments again before facing the rationality that this life shows…

Today I realize the fact that how much efforts and sacrifices our parents had made so far. How they handle the pressure and stress that this life gives us so easily, without even having any frown on their face, they never made us realize the pain that they were going through while fulfilling our small small desires. One year down the line, even my life will start changing into something like that, I will have to think about so many things that actually I never cared about so far.

I ask god today, can’t he give me few more years of fun, few more years of life without worries. But I know now it’s too late and doesn’t matter how hard I pray nothing could happen now…

I hope, I wish, I pray that somehow I get the strength to handle this pressure. And if I fall then give me the strength to get up the very next instance…
