Happiness was always there

It took me an admit from SP Jain to feel motivated to put down my thoughts.

I sit here thinking what I would want to talk to people about in my first post. The answer came almost instantaneously - happiness was always there.

Life has been sweet to me till date. Only daughter, apple of parent's eyes. Have never really had to face the harsh realities of life.

Continuing the tradition, college life turned out to be fun. but toward the last few semesters things went a little haywire. CISCO rejected me in their interview round. CAT went awry. There was a period when I used to wonder what to do next? Then came Mu Sigma - A business analytics firm. I still remember days where I had to explain to my relatives what Mu Sigma is and how the company is not a MUSIC(G) company. Had to bear the brunt of recession too before joining the company. I always used to call this phase the rough phase of my life.

But looking back, I ask myself. Was it? Answer is a definitive NO. After joining the company I realized, I would have failed miserably at CISCO if I had got through, simply because I was terrible at networking and never really had passion in it. I realized how Mu Sigma gave me the right platform to learn and prove myself. Coming May31st I complete one year at Mu Sigma. Sadly/ luckily it happens to be my last day too at the company. But I strongly feel, that it was one of those right things that happened at the right time. Just that it takes time to realize it.

I am not sure if I conveyed what I wanted to. but simply put in one line - things happen for good. It is just that we do not have the patience/ maturity to accept it.

    Last para is really good and true, though I have heard it several times, it is nice to see such a maturity from one more peer (+ SP), when I myself dont have it.
