Me n my boredom

Hey friends

How does it feel to sit home all day, waiting for a new company to come for off or on campus placement, or your offer letters to come, or your joining dates to arrive? Very touchy question naa?

After my exams got over, on 7th June, I felt like a free bird...had done with my engineering, and now, I had all the time in the world to do whatever I could not do when I was jailed in for 4 years. So started my new routine: just enjoying life. No rules to follow, no submissions to take care of, no attendance to maintain...well, I had no issues with my attendance in any of my engg semesters, I had above 90% attendance in each sem....silly of me, cuz minimum 75% was mandatory, and I exceeded the limit by a staggering 15-20%!

Anyway, I had a very nice time, hanging around with my friends, reading fiction, trying new music, watching movies, and most importantly, social networking. If I was not out, then I was sticking to my PC. All my friends who were placed into some company, like me, and awaiting DOJ used to meet up online, and talk about any company that gave out joining, and then used to cuss the company that we were placed into. Come Wednesday, and we used to hunt for any new openings in Times Ascent. We all used to try our luck wherever we could. We had formed this nice coterie, and used to keep each others hopes high, and ears open for new openings.

Results came out on 17th August, and nothing changed in my routine. I was just a graduate unemployed person now, with least priority assigned in a house where everybody was busy with their life, and I had nothing to keep me busy.

Soon it became bugging to just do nothing. I was so used to always having a book weighing some 0.5 kg plus ( I studied from reference books, all those firangi authors u know....) under my nose that my fiction books barely filled the void. Going out meant that I was supposed have to answer questions like 'wassup?'. And the mundane answer used to be 'waiting'....Low ebbs were common there after. There used to many rumours afloat about my company this, n my company that. I had to keep these subservient news aside, and just be positive, as others would advise me. But the implodings could not be controlled... People from all around the globe used to advice me that this is the best time of my life and that I should make the most of it, and that this time wont ever visit me again. But it is easier said than done. Had my date of joining been definite, my definition of enjoyment would have multiplied by 'n', where 'n' was any integer greater than 4.

Somebody said unto me that talent, if unused, becomes rusty....it was gory to listen to....but nous. So my hanging-in-the-between friends, keep going, and dont bend to subjective rumours. See you all busy soon :)
