Golmaal Hain...

With my ex and to-be managers struggling to get me the right portfolio, and mom out for vacation and me being home alone,I have enuff time to hit the blog and post almost everyday. So here goes one more..... One of my curious frenz visited my profile on blogger.com and she was asking me why I wrote "Comfortable Confused" only, in About me-section ??(That reminds me of Abhi's post where he wrote how desis have nothing to write abt in their profiles ;) ) True!! So when it comes to writing about me, OMG there are so many things to write about...I see how superlative I am at times... ;) Jokes apart,the first thing that comes to my mind in support of my "CC" comment is : I always wanted to be a journo and had an inclination towards english literature. I was into all kind of competitions in school :Public Speaking, Creative Writing,Debates,Essays,Story-recitation,Story-Appreciation etc. and my English teacher always believed I will make it to be a good author or journalist someday. But I took up science (PCM) in school and studied biology alongside as my family is about education,doctors,defence personnels and all, they never wanted their daughter to move around with a JHOLA on her shoulder..lol..thts how Indian presumed Journos to be...Anyways, I scored great marks in English and headed for an Eng Hons. from DU.I saw my frenz going for engg entrances and got carried away, I knew my dad always wanted me to b an engineer so I joined engg entrance classes and after a year made it to a private college in UP.(We will come to that story later). I gave in and thought I will study IT as that was all i cud score in(Is what I thought) but, I got Electrical branch to study(I had no contacts to get that fixed to IT), so I studied EE and passed college with a decent score and got a job in a Technical Support firm at college. I quit my job after 4 months and switched to IT major Satyam and then the rest is history... The more I think, the more I feel if you ask me, abt me ..I wud say read on....and thats all about me!! A wannabe journo turned a wannabe IT engineer turned an Electical engineer turned a techincal support executive turned a software engineer turned a Postgraduate in Journalism turned an IT book author turned an IT Newsletter Editor turned an IT Specialist turned a Blogger....and still a wannabe journo...life comes full circle :) Coz it was never about IT and the truth is I never had a technical bent of mind!!! And here I am absolutely comfortably confused...coz I ended up being someone I never wanted to be and I still want to be what i wanted to be...but am still not able to be what i wanted to be (Money talks!! and so does my job)...lol Golmaal hain bhai!! Sab golmaal hain!!

Comfortably Confused... u have titled it very well... but somewhere everyone is like that... i wont bore you wid my story but its kinda similar one...
but i do believe that whateva u get into, try to get results out of it... nd if u can peruse your dream on side....
being a journo doesn't mean to be a regular writer, work and u can be a guest writer or free lancer. like you do for your blog..

all the best...
