The Third Side of A Coin!!!

Very recently i sat down to watch an IPL match. I dont watch cricket regularly neither am i a fan of it. But having been jobless, i tried watching the game. Match had not started by then. It was time to toss the coin.
Coin was tossed. It flew up in the air....all eager heads were lifted up in the air!!!

 Coin fell down... n all asked "Head or Tail???? "
 I just asked "What if its neither of them??".
 A voice behind me furiously replied "Fool...it has to be either of the two. There is no other side."

Now i ask u all....are there only 2 sides in a coin???????

Take a look at ur coin again....look carefully...there is a 3rd side in a coin, unfortunately none of us noticed or that none realized there is one.


How many times we played with those coins...analysed every writings in it, made circles from it, studied probability, tossed in air, kept it rolling and made it stand on the third side of the coin!!! dint we???  But we still dint realise there was another side.

U know y??????

Because right from childhood we hear head or tail...dats it.
When the whole world said so...we believed it so....

Dats our problem frndz....When the world said it...we believed in it.

We dint talk back....its ok,
But we dint think back  too!!!


Now let me put it in a much harder way....

At school, only 2 courses we knew....Biology or Computer science;
After school, only 2 streams we knew...Engineering or Medical;
An Engineer knows only 2 jobs...either a s/w company or a BPO.

Just lik 2 sides of a coin....
Shall i call it funny or label it pathetic?????

Is there no course to take up but for bio n cse????
Are there no other streams but for engg n medicine????
Has this world given just 2 jobs to choose from????

Think Think Think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake up guys....Its already too late....

Our mistake is we walk with the world...not knowing where it takes us, but just that all walk so i walk too.
Taking  the same road everyone takes....
Not that we like walking with them...
But that we are afraid to take a new road...
For the fear of getting lost!!!!

The fact is...
Its now that we are lost in the crowd... unidentified, unknown, hopeless, struggling to survive.
Frndz.....


Step out of this usual road...
Explore a new untaken one ....
Each of us are unique....
I dont say so...
God created us so...

Prove the world u r not among the crowd....u r different n above the crowd.
Show the world how UNIQUE you are!!!!!


Explore the third side of ur coin....Gud Luck :)


What am i bare handed with a B.E. besides my name???

A fine evening. I was lying down texting my frndz. So many replies beeped in my mobile.

 Before that let me tell u ....lik many of the ppl here am an engineer too. Luckily got placed. But still waiting for my company to call me, and so is my current status.

During college i always wanted it to end. Not that i was bored of it, just that i wanted to lay down with a free head so idle that i have no tension to think of. But how long is it going to last???? In my case not more than a week. Boredom hit me hard. I decided to take up a job.

Now starts the real story.

My first step into the so called OUTSIDE WORLD. I went in search of a job. I dint get into BPO's for  i thought its guys stuff maybe coz most of them were in night shifts. I tried a simple part of lecturing. Confident enough of getting it, i applied.

I got the reply the very next day. Quick enough it was but hard enough for me to digest. They dint want me to take in engg clg....instead suggested me in a polytechnic.My story was just this short and simple.

I texted all this to a frnd of mine. But the replies were even worse than i imagined.

I got a reply something lik dis " Y did i take up engineering? People laugh at me when they learn am an engineer. I wasted my life doing this course. Professionals are not treated professionally anymore."

Hard to listen. But these words were a scream from an engineering student who has set out to this outside world just in search of a job. Wanna know what made that person say so????

Read on..i ll tell u his story.

Well dressed, smart looking, file in hand, full of confidence, more enthu than ever...all set to attend an interview.  Reached the venue on time. Lot many like him were there too. A guy spoke up to him "Hay dude..What are u doin?" Very proudly he replied "Finished my engineering. Looking for a job".
To this the guy started laughing. The other around smiling.

Curious to know the reason, he asked " what makes u laugh at this??"
The guy said "Dude, we are all Arts students. Companies ask for Arts and Diploma students not Engineers."

That was hard to digest.But the fact is...Engineers need to be paid more than an Arts and diploma student.Just becoz its a professional course. So they prefer no engg.

This sad part doesnt stop here. It worsens when u r an engg from Tamil Nadu.

Like Bill Gates said "One day, every house in this world will have computer with Microsoft running in it".
Something similar happened here....not similar something more than just  similar happened....
" An engineer in every street....no no....2 engineers in every house." 200 and odd engineering colleges,more than 5 universities  in just a state.!!!

Is an engineer really valued????

Govt gave 250 colleges....did it give dat many jobs????

It gave education loans to all students....gud job!!!
But did the Govt realise how ll dat student repay it???

I write this with utter disheartenment....
Like a grievance from a poor farmers son.
Loan on his head....responsibilities on his shoulder...expectations lurking....still wandering helpless.
