When you feel wasted ……
Days seem so long, nights are spent tossing and turning;
You don’t have a single bit of work to do or maybe you don’t feel like doing anything.
You stand firm in a crowded place away from your family and old friends (who know you from the core) feeling so isolated and alone;
Its not just you but whole world seems sluggish and above all you encounter winters filled with smog.
That’s when you feel wasted; you feel you have been fighting through this all alone.
You hear people bitching about others and slapping them is the first thing that comes to your mind but you have to maintain your cool, because that’s what differentiates you from others.
Everyday you open your eyes full of positive enthu hoping that it would be your day; but by night you are forced to believe that your day is far away.
Every minute your heart lets out a sigh that, “I did MBA and that’s it; it never meant anything and it never promises you a job; Mumma I don’t want you to be tensed about me but deep down my heart I feel that its all so wasted; Papa I know you will never tell me that you want to see me walking firmly in that corporate world but I know somehow I am shattering those dreams; Bhai I know you were never convinced with the idea of me not getting IIMs or equivalent but yes its true and I am facing it all now.”
But when I feel like this: All I want is that slight ray of hope that could enrich my heart and ask me to stand up and fight this slothfulness with courage.
Now the first part of the blog tells you that when you feel wasted what you go through; I have jotted down some common reactions when we feel wasted:
1. Some start eating more and end up gaining weight; for some start skipping their meals and end up getting a size zero.
2. Some watch ‘n’ number of movies and they could even find a job at some movie rating agency.
3. Some are 24*7 online at social networking sites; which includes doing following stuff:
a) Sending friend requests to almost all the people available on the sites
b) Playing Farmville, Cafeville, Frontierville, Mafia Wars, etc. which could give you some business ideas and jobs like you could be a farmer, a café owner, start your own catering business, the last one is not that good coz by playing mafia wars you could get a job with some D-company but being an MBA that doesn’t suit your profile J
c) Commenting on pictures of your friends and that could result in improving your analytical skills (so this is a thumbs up for all you HR aspirers J )
d) Some are found working on their vocabulary by updating a new Facebook status almost every other hour
4. Since most of the people I know right now are feeling wasted because they are not getting good jobs or they are not satisfied with the existing ones, so these people are found working on their knowledge and in this journey they end up grasping all the relevant awa irrelevant knowledge which makes them over qualified for the jobs they apply to.
5. Some people start partying almost everyday, watching all the new releases in the PVRs and sometimes that includes watching not so good movie twice for the sake of your friends, shopping and reducing your account balance which again gives you the feeling of being wasted because in no time you might step out of the college jobless, but this would definitely help them in networking and as of now that’s something very important.
6. For the rest like me start blogging and helping oneself to ease this bad feeling.
Therefore being a Mathematics student I have always learnt to get solutions of the problems, here the problem is the feeling of being wasted and we can also see that how this feeling can help us out in getting job or improving our personality :P (There is some good in every bad)
*I started this post with a very negative feeling as I was feeling tired of this monotonous routine of mine but as I started to let out this heavy feeling I added the second part of the post with humor (try) in it. Thus blogging truly helps in making you feel better.
