Mmmmmmmhhmmmmmmm.......
A big hiiiii to my friends.......
I've been away from blogging for almost 9 months now.....
there have been many reasons for it....
one of the main reason has been my job.
for those of you who dn't know.....i have joined a bank and my 1st posting has been in MUMBAI..
so over the past 9 months i've been in MUMBAI goin around with a job in hand.....
over the past 9 months i have sweated it out in mumbai's famous LOCAL....
going to almost all parts connected to the western line of mumbai's local.....
And as i expected 9 months back, that once i get into a job ill see a lot of changes(+ve or -ve) in myself,
there have been some changes.....
changes in my way of living life.....
changes in my way of enjoying life....
changes in the way i think....
changes in me as a person....
Well to start with, on the first day of my job that is on 25th july,i had huge expectations.....
expectations from myself
expectations from the bank
expectations from the job and
expectations from MUMBAI
so i have been living with these expectations in my mind since, and trust me, not even a single expectation has been fulfilled,
that doesn't mean that i'am not satisfied with my job:-(....it means that i had over expectations from all of em.....
MUMBAI, job, bank and of course myself.....
Mmmmmmhhmmmmmmm......
Now i come over to the difference between my expectations during the MBA days and the reality i've faced in my job..
1.) In my college days the daily average balance in my pocket used to be somewhere around 300 to 400 bucks....
and i used to dream about a job and kept on thinking that someday ill be having thousands of bucks in my pocket
and ill spend them on whatever i want...
well, and now when i have a job and i have a salary, my daily average balance has been a BIG (-VE) since the very day ive joined
the bank....and this certainly doesn't mean that i am paid less..:-(
2.) In my college days i always tried hard to be punctual in my classes....and managed to reach on time almost
in 80% of my classes..then i used to think that once i get a job ill be on time always......
well, and now when i am in the job...i don't remember a day when i,ve been on time for my job.....
and this certainly doesn't mean that i'am a lazy guy:-(
3.) In my college days, i used to travel on my brand new black pulsar bike....and i used to think that once i have a job ill
not even touch this bike....ill buy a brand new car for myself.....
well, now that i've a job i think how right i was when i thot that i wont even touch the bike.....
i don't touch it nomore(sold it when i was coming to mumbai)..coz i walk on foot now..no signs of any car even in the next 5 years....
and this certainly doesn't mean that i can't afford a car:-(
4.) In my college days i used to party a lot, yes a lot.....and i used to think that this is just the beginning..once in the job ill
have loads of money and ill party almost every day......
well, and now when i have a job(refer to point no.1), party has been "ONCE IN A BLUE MOON" affair..
and this certainly doesn't mean that i don't have time for partying:-(
5.) In my college days i always used to think that i have never lived away from my home, so i hope i get placed out of my hometown
delhi..it will be a good change for me..ill learn a lot in my job living away from home....
well, and now when i'am in a job away from home..i'am hating this place and i'am dying to go back to delhi..
and this certainly doesn't mean that i have learned nothing bein away from home:-(
well i guess this much is enough for now..although i have a lot of things to say, i won't say them all at once.....
coz that might leave u less interested in reading my blog the next time.....
BUT one thing iam still not sure about is.......HAVE I CHANGED???????
IF NOT then WHY HAS THERE BEEN A DIFFERENCE??
OR IF YES, THEN IS ALL THIS CHANGE NORMAL??
DOES IT HAPPEN TO A LOT MANY PEOPLE??
WELL, FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF......
TILL THE NEXT TIME
WISH U ALL A VERY HAPPY WORK LIFE....
HOPE THAT U DON'T FIND SUCH DIFFERENCES IN YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY:-):-):-):-)...........
B..BYE..
C U SOON........
