Time
"Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day, I fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Waiting for some one or something to show me the way. I am young and life is long and there is time to kill today and then one day I find ten years have gone behind me, no one told me where to run, I missed the starting gun. So i run and i run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, racing around to come up behind me again. The sun is the same in a relative way but I'm older, shorter of breath, one day closer to death". The above lines by Floyd seem to perfectly portray my life's current scenario. Pandemonium seems to have crept back into my life, i had rid myself of it three years back when i CHOSE to pursue BMS, or so i thought. Everything seemed according to plan, life was right on track. Three years of BMS, another three years of work and finally an MBA from some university in Scotland (which is weird, considering I'm an Anglophile) and I'm set for life. Now unfortunately these universities in Scotland want three years of relevant experience. Well so whats the problem?, u ask......finding a job that provides you with the requisite RELEVANT experience ........These days we hear politicians ranting about how jobs in India are increasing by leaps and bounds, well have we stopped to think of what nature are these jobs? After pursuing a degree in management the least u expect is an appropriate job. BMS being one of the few professional courses offered by Mumbai university, one would expect to have an apparent edge over their B.com/B.sc/B.A counterparts (with all due respect to them) but so isn't the case. Its something like what u engineers would probably feel on seeing them B.Sc IT students grab packages as hefty as yours in spite of that one year extra that you invested. Well enough said, now i guess i should get back to listening to Floyd on the new mp3 player that this "graduate" bought with his parents money.
