Wondering about the role of destiny in my life and denying the same to establish the supremacy of my decisions, I always felt I had a better control over life until The Shift....
I came to SIBM-B with a mindset of specializing in HR as nothing excited me more than finding solutions to issues people face. To my surprise I ended up soft-freezing Finance as my specialization. And this was purely because of the HERD mentality of all the toppers who opted for finance (I being one of them). However, before I started my SIP in Finance, one of my friends calls up in the evening and asks to appear for a telephonic interview for an HR internship project. I could not refuse that friend (partly because she was one such friend I cant refuse and partly because I have not gotten over my love for HR). Surprisingly again, I cleared that interview too and the interviewer asked me to start the project around the same time. So, now I was caught up in two projects, one which had a lot of pomp and pride but was not my love (Finance) and the other which was looked down upon for being too easy and theoretical but was my first love (HR). Well I did justice to both and completed the projects.
The end of SIP marked the beginning of 3rd Semester. I was in Finance. I was trying to understand the subject(just like any one else was doing and that is a story in itself) but I was not happy.
5 sessions passed and I was wondering, "Dude whats happening?".....10 sessions, " Dude all the pomp and pride of being in Finance is just useless if you are not passionate about the subject".....20 sessions, " I cant carry on...I need a change....I am not meant for excel sheets only...I need people..I need to understand their issues". 21st session bunked and I was standing outside the Director's office requesting him to allow me to change.
After a 5-day long dramatic struggle with him, I landed down in HR of course subject to a few conditions.
So, here I was in HR wondering what my new batch mates might be thinking, having my own doubts and apprehensions but what kept me going was that it was my DECISION and I am responsible for it. Or was it really my decision? Wasn't I destined to be in HR? I might have just lost my track for a while. Was it required for me to lose track to find out what I actually wanted and never regret it once I get it?
Well!! in this wonderful play of control between Destiny and Myself, I somehow landed up making the most important decision of my Career and thankfully enjoying the ride so far...Lets see what life has to offer next and who wins........
