Quarantined SLOGging

Life’s Weird….

The same time last year I was neck deep into my project SLOGging my a** to get it going. The SLOGging worked and my project ended fairly well. I came back to my college content and satisfied …my chip up and the head held high. I thought now’s the time when I can lie down and relax. Life had other things in store for me! Of all the twists that I’ve ever had in my life this was the biggest and I’d say the most painful.

I got into the placement committee (affectionately called the placecom). To this day I fail to understand what made me sign up for it. I thought that it was the stupidest thing that I doing…(I didn’t change my opinion until the day I got into Bharti). I had to SLOG again!! Classes, the placement trips, the calls to companies, the projects, the assignments, the late nights, (or should I say the early mornings), the ‘meetings”, the deadlines and worst of all the skyrocketing percentage…. (In the unwanted direction I might add…DOWN). I always wanted to run away from it all!

Along came December and the excitement amongst everyone grew. N I was still SLOGging…almost! 24^th of December…my first interview. I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to SLOG where it most mattered…studies!!

The company…Satyam…I was generously humiliated in the interview…ripped apart!!! I am glad I was…. coz that’s when I began to SLOG…yet again!!! (U’d think my life was a one-day international and I was in the 50^th over). Two people helped me pull through… I wouldn’t name them but I think they know who they are!! 28^th …the D-day…. that’s the last time I remember that I SLOGged…. 3 companies…3 interviews…I’m glad I got through this one…

Life after that has been an awesomely slow moving river. From the Goa trip to the classes to the projects to the exams and the convocation…. not once did I put in any efforts. As I sit here today and look at what I’ve been doing…(all those people who think I’m having a good time…read on…).

I am basically restricted to my room with TV that has nothing on ever, ever busy friends ( I don’t blame u guyssss), computer with a filthy net connection and books which I never read and nothing better to do but to lie down on my back and look our fan.

(P.s. I even caught myself trying to count the number of revolutions the fan was making a couple of days back which basically was the snapping point and it prompted me to write this…..)

4^th month of no efforts and total vellapan…! I look at this and then look back at my last year…. and wonder…what is it that I enjoy more?? N I have no answer….do u??
