2 years have passed !!

24th of April 2007, the day when i gave my last exam in IIT, marked the end of my college life and the beginning of a whole new 'Professional' world. Like many other in my class, I was in great dilemma on whether i should pursue something in Aerospace or take up a job in non-core. I decided to go for the latter with a caveat that i will probably reconsider Aerospace in an years time.
2 years have passed since then. I am still with Inductis. You may ask me what happened to my plan of reconsidering Aerospace. Well i had it at the back of my mind all the time, but the same old fears grappled me every time i thought about it. Only difference being that this time i have some idea of what is in store for me here.
Life is all about taking the right decisions at the right time. And i have taken mine, now its for time to tell whether it was right or wrong.
Coming back to the so called non-core job. I think i have largely enjoyed it. The kind of work I do, the great friends I have made over here, the flexibility I enjoy and ofcourse the amount of money i get paid, there are more than one reason for me to be happy about. Though things have started to change off late, but that's a different story all-together. I will come to that may be some other time.
Coming now to the main point, analytics is not what i had in mind when i choose the non-core path. There are things i yearn to do and it's time that I actively focus on them. Now whether an mba would be a part of the journey is yet to be decided. That's the way it should be: Focus on the larger motive, on the end result and let the things unravel by themselves.
With that note let me wrap this up. After a long time i seem to have some clarity in my mind. I just need to see if i can get the same focus back which i once had when i was preparing for JEE.
