15 months later...

Fifteen eventful months have passed since my last post. A lot has changed since then. I was a clueless lunatic who had no idea where his life was going. Being jobless after completing my engineering and preparing for something I was not ready for (read civil services), I kept hoping for something to happen which could show me the way. Then, it so happened that I, somehow, got a decent rank in GATE-2010. Yes, the same GATE which is taken by all the unemployed engineers and which provides them with another opportunity to fulfill their dream of joining the best institutes of technology in India, the IITs. Though, nowadays, it has also become a gateway to enter some renowned government companies like IOCL and BARC. I too was called for and later kicked out (again!!) of the IOCL interview. But an altogether different career plan had started to gestate in me by then. I began toying with the idea of going for higher studies in the field of chemical engineering (some call it kam akal engineering but it's not true). When I came to think of it, teaching seemed to be the most suitable career for me. During my graduation if at all there was something I learned, it was what a teacher should not be like. Therefore I decided to join M. Tech. in Chemical Engineering at IIT, Delhi.
