The Placement Paradox

Well life is chill after the placements. People go and write the exam as if its a story writing competition. Well for me it has been a bad experience as I am have started getting D grades. Well more than two D's and I am gone case. I hope and pray I dont get more than the required :)). Too much of anything is harmful. So we have a complete week off starting from today and I have no clue what to do. Planning to go to Al-Ain and Fujeriah, with my friends. The other option I have is to go to my sis and bil's place but both have offices and I will be left alone till they come back in the eve, which is kindda boring. Well I have some books to read which I will be completing this week itself. Companies coming to college have slowed down to a trickle with only a few to get placed. Hope they get placed in good companies as soon as possible.

We had one hellavu subject called International Business this week. The proff Mr Venkatesh R was damn good, learnt and improved a lot, both IB and english vocab. You can go in this class with complete assurance that u wont fall asleep. He knows how to keep the class alive and wish we had more professors like him coming over. Not that the professors coming to the college were incompetent. Offcourse they were good in their field but they hardly know how to keep the class active. We have reached the fag end of our course and in 20 days most of us will be flying to different parts of the world. I will be returning to India, fortunately or unfortunately. Yes true that I wanted to return to India for all the reasons in this world, but thinking of the loan repayment, it would have been better to get placed here, even though life here is not good. I could have offloaded the loan burden as quickly as possible and returned to India faster. My colleagues who got placed in Dubai really have excellent salary and as I say "My salary would be their savings, after living like a king in Dubai". Not that my salary in India is not good. I have got placed in my dream company and have a salary which I couldnt even dream before I got the offer. So no complaints. Completely happy and satisfied.
