Out go the jeans, t-shirts and the hunky-dory lifestyle of the private sector, and in come the formals, ties and discipline of a PSU. Yeah! The transition from Flipkart Internet Private Ltd. to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. has indeed been quite drastic and the difference palpable. But nonetheless, whether it is long term considerations or simply personal preferences, wherever we are today, we are by choice and it is wrong to jump to conclusions by judging a book just by its cover.
Each of us has a unique story to tell, but alas I'm not here to dwell on that. It is bewildering to imagine just how much our horizons can expand from nothing but a few months' experience! Moving from Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, to the Indian Oil Institute of Petroleum Management at Gurgaon, the journey has surely been an incredibly interesting one.
The sheer number of people I've encountered along the way, combined with a variety of cultures has helped me attach meaning to numerous adages, for example, 'dream as if you'll live forever but live as if you'll die tomorrow', 'small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events but great minds discuss ideas' and so the list goes on. Unless you spend a finite amount of time with someone you can't guess their story just by knowing their names. Likewise you can hear what someone's done but not what he or she has been through.
The first few days of our induction programme at IiPM had been outsourced to People Metrics, where we danced to Gangnam Style, participated in skits, made impromptu presentations and a lot more. As the first week of our orientation comes to an end with a lot planned for the week ahead, many of my colleagues are left with very little time to attend our college convocation or make plans for the festive seasons of Dussehra and Diwali. So I suppose it is best to just live in the moment in a 'convince or get convinced' way. For now, all I can say is that the metamorphosis from a student to a full-fledged professional for most of us is finally complete.
