US or INDIA



i am back to writing ....finding some time now with everythin (including ROBOCON n excluding BE proj) over...and findin some private lonely moments with people going on vacation




I sit down to write about the current hot topic in the class ...ADMITS and JOBS....and about the confusion in my mind


starting with jobs...i have one - wipro but had many other gr8 experiences n chances tht i cud not convert...Cisco, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Morgan Chase....


it does hurt n i do envy ppl ...wen i dont get thru n wen my close frnds hav moved ahead to achieve gr8 things...bag gr8 jobs....or earn gr8 admits....i take this blog as an opportunity to vent out my frustration


as far as admits are concerned ...i hav 3 currently wid some pride tht comp guys were rejected whr i hav been accepted...but sincerely the universities don please me much except 4 NCSU which is OK....i hoped n longed 4 UCSB....my heart was broken wen i was rejected by dem...PSU reject was not tht painful....


but i once again feel lost n defeated now tht ppl hav got admits 4m columbia and my future almost fixed to NCSU (Austin n stony brook being impossible)


again coming back to my own wish....do i rly want to go abroad?


do i want to study further?


i started off wid aims of MBA which were changed suddenly to MS to fulfill certain dreams which still hold me back to choose freely...also post graduation almost has become inevitable if u hav to succeed


sure i dont want to stay at home ...but tht wud b taken care of even wid wipro being in pune or bangalore...plus it has the added advantage of coming back to the family wen u please




US ...u cannot come back 4 at least 5 yrs....and then too its vry difficult


i dont want to actually study more immediately....i am more interested in practical learning


but as i said some dreams are hard to let go....


now i m even more weakened by my dad sayin casually to stay back...i m findin it hard to deicde as to what to do


can somebody help me??!!!

Harsh,
'Love and commitment' or 'dreams and destiny'.... It becomes very tough to make a decision when you have to decide between these two....

But I would suggest go ahead with your dreams.... listen to whatever your heart says.... I am sure that things which are holding you back are important but i will say you..... but...

I mean.... no one will want to hold you back.... If those 'dreams' can speak today.... they would say go towards your destiny.... If those 'dreams' can find words today.... they will never be in the way of your dreams....

regards,
Jyothi.
