If people remember SAS, yep! the dreaded signals and systems, we used to represent 2 signals of types, x(t-T) and x(t+T). this post of mine is to be considered mylife(t+1year)! i would give a thumbs up to those electronics guys and girls who could guess it now only what i would be talking about!
Well... the reason why i chose such a cryptic start is because as i told i am crazy about physics and maths the blend of which is SAS!okay. let's start with the business of me writing (like one crazy girl whom people might think is there to change the world!).. my life past 1 year has been, to sum up a pot of experiments! i can say i've refound myself! answers to few of my unanswered questions have started unfolding! a great start i would say! a year in bangalore though a familiar place has made me sturdy! life has become more interesting with confrontations everyday! confrontation between the expectations and the outcome, the likes and dislikes, helplessness and opportunity, assertion v/s timidity and finally being myself as i want to be v/s as others want me to be! i would say a dilemma between complacency and the urge to do something!
A transformation from student life to industrial/corporate has been, i can say has made me see the real world! it has made me realise, wake up! this is where u got to live the rest of ur life! one thing is for sure! Student life is the golden life! very true! for a guy, it is a life not bothered by tax, savings, pay package! and for a girl, it is a life of aspirations! the days where she believes she can do something and show the world out there that we are no less! . i would dare not say all when i mention this, coz i have seen guys who lack a vision of their life and girls, who have hardly got any opportunity to assert themselves and who lose their identity before they can find one!those men folks reading this might find i am a bit partial towards girls.. :)
I have had 'encounters' with some of the most 'interesting species' on earth i would say! (yep! sarcasm at its best. no marks for guessing! ) people who are unusually and irritatingly curious of other's lives! but yep! as they say, it is human mind. it behaves how we train it. but one thing for sure. the initial irritation has given way to me trying to become a good HR manager! ;) before joining the job, i had the opinion that technical job is the toughest one and why they have these MBAs and all! but now i believe, human mind is far more unpredictable and difficult to manage than an IC! that's the good part! isnt it? may be that's why they say look at the glass as always half full (although most of the times i see it half empty! see again- the human mind! ) .
One thing i am amazed at it is the human ability to adapt! may be it is in our blood.. ask anyone how they felt the day they left their college! may be people would've cried(even boys) who find difficult to leave the nest of strong bonds which would've built over time! (i may say, my string of bonds are very weak outside the family except for very few for as i have told many times earlier, people find me difficult to handle! ;p ) but a year later, i woud like to ask my fellow college mates, how they feel now! time has an amazing effect on us i feel.. or may be we get used to things after a transition period.
hmm.. the year ahead.. is as blank a white paper, on which the 'pens of thoughts, ideas, aspirations, expectations + inhibitions, fears' are competing to write! 12th month from now i would be able to say who won the competition and the places! :)
Well Kavya...before i start, i have this to say..i just had to take an aspirin between t=end of reading u r post and t=start of commenting :-P tats all the signals and systems i know :-P
ReplyDeleteby golly....a complex post i must say :-) an attack on the overtly sentimental student, a sarcastic grab on the irritating boss and colleague, a particular fondness for the woman, the confusion of sailing through life...its all there in u r post :-)
i m sure most of ur blog readers will agree that we all have seen students getting extremely sentimental on the last day of college interspersed with the occasional "i donno how i m going to live without u guys" but years down the line, how many of us have actually got a call or a mail from that individual ? wake up call :-) as human beings, all of us are bound to get temporarily attached to something or someone..time indeed is a healer..we all have asked our parents for atleast one thing which they have expressed denial...we do feel terribly upset initially...but how many of us now miss that orange toy or that green bicycle which we did not get? there...true with people to a certain extent too..but we have to face it...if we havent stayed in touch with tat proverbial prodigal son, it is also because we too have not contacted him or her :-) when we dont..it coz we are busy...when they dont...its coz they dont care :-) well...tit for tat...if i ate an aspirin...so shld readers reading my comment :-P
if any :-)
real nice thots on the adaptation part..pretty odd comparison of a human mind to an IC tho :-)
shldn u say which IC..perhaps if u hv overlooked tat, there s a moral in it :-) we have line drivers and we have BGA mountables on a 12 layer PCB :-P u know...the easy debug n the impossible kind :-) people too...come in packages :-) tats just the way it is :-)
before its time for a second aspirin, i ll stop :-) one last thing...i cant help notice a strong connection with Watterson's last post n u r last para...big Calvin and Hobbes fan ? excuse me if i m wrong :-) n ya...life's equation probably goes like this: Al^7 + Bl^6 + Cl^5 + Dl^4 + Cl^3 + El^2 + Fl = god knows what :-P A,B so on are coeffs denoting ur ideas, thots etc :-) do temme how you r going to compare an l(t) and an l(t+T) :-) n judge who won the competition :-)
cheers :-)
