Future Express...!

As the obscurity of the night fades away and murk gives way to the aurora of day break, new ideas blossom and energize us to work for the future. The will to get better, feeds the heat from our young blazing hearts as we prepare the mold for our futures.

It feels amazing to have inspiration at your doorstep, with the people next-door uninhibitedly working for their cherished dreams, and yet finding time for things like putting up a performance at the celebratory function being held for Teachers' Day in our department today.

With pre-placement offers being received by our friends and seniors, and countless number of bright minds getting placed, the circumstances also act like a catalyst propelling everyone forward. Its great to see friends from different walks of life unlocking their varied treasure-trove of opportunities and careers in front of our very eyes. They act as a measuring stick to try and visualize what we want to see ourselves as, a few years from now.

I can speak for a lot of people when I say that life in college, whether easy or tough, has gone a long way in bringing out the best in all of us. Some of us have learned to do things we never thought we'd try, while others have taken their previously acquired skills to a whole new level.

Coming down to specifics, I'd also like to take a second to congratulate all those who are already looking at shining futures in the foremost multi-national companies like Oracle, Adobe, ZS Associates and Rio Tinto among many others. Hearty congrats and good luck also to the guys pursuing higher education, may it be MBA, MS or Ph.D. in India or abroad.    

So, as all of us eagerly board the Future Express, and although I have more than a year to go before facing the placement scenario, one question always pops up in mind: What's next after IIT and what's our 'final destination'?.....
