Y is SRT(Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar) actually BRT(Bhagwaan Ramesh Tendulkar?)

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - A name that has royal connotations,a name which is the most popular name in the country and every guy knws two names for sure _one sachins' and one his own. 17500 plus ODI runs,13000 test runs, highest score in ODI cricket. If there ever was a scottish whisky kinda player - gets better with time then it is Sachin Ramesh tendulkar.

Having started his career at the tender age of sixteen when we are all goin to school this guy was out there earning his own living and making serious bucks,serving his country and finishing off bowlers careers in dime a dozen style. If one has to look back at the great man's career and say one hting that has not changed a bit till now is the man's modesty. One of the most modest sportstars, the man has always steered clear of nay controversy, has attained dainty status in the country. Recently when sachin was up agianst shiv sena supremo( i dunno y is tht guy called a supremo),not a word was spoken by sachin but a parade of fans stood up for him led by the members of parliament.

He has the power to stop normal life in India,a sachin century has the ability to convert a 10 minute Indian railways schedule stop into a full hour at a station. His one good innnings both by quality and by the times he has played those knocks brings happiness to millions of indians ,indians who are divided by caste,creeed,religion,gender etc who come together nonetheless to cheer their truest son. A poor oriya farmer who tills his land day and night and barely has enough to make ends meet even on a daily basis may not believe in god, but a sachin century brings a smile on his face and makes him feel happy makes him want to throw that plough away and become a boy and play.
That is the greatness of the man they call Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. A man for whom any role u give him he is the ideal man for it, an epitome of all that is good in this world, a sea of patience and perseverance,a man who has been the lifeline of the country forover twenty years. I heard that there is god and he is good,he brings u happiness,he judges ur deeds and punishes and rewards you. I personally dont believe in a super power who just sits there and makes things happen. I believe god is within all of us but only some of us grow up to become a god who people can be inspired from,someone who has come from the same ranks as us and has outperformed to achive greatnes. And most of all he is someone who has never let fame get the better of him.I guess people like Mahatma Gandhi, I guess that sachin satisfies all these parameters and thus the conclusion that "Sachin is god!!"

And hence the name Bhagwaan Ramesh Tendulkar.

Placements - Noise or Signal??

Well the time arrives which everyone looks forward to but secretly is scared to death of..Plcaement season...a really dreaded time when all the classroom sessions go out of the window and all that remains is speculation,fear,happiness, greed,friendship,conspiracy theories ..basically the whole gamut of human emotions. The times are bad thy say this year..the papers tell me sth else...the prssure of the liabilities....the pressure of expectations...the lack of clarity..frenzied calls to seniors,friends,prior colleagues..basically taking an opinion from anyone who has one to offer...then run them through a very very flawed regresion model (what else) -our Brain...then take a decision many times a gut feel...apply....

Step 2: Shortlist: I am not in...dude what was the criteria...noooooo not grades please...no work ex m so screwed...i will never get shortlisted.....m done dude!! i will become an entrepreneur....
I am so finished and dead!! basically again the most weirdly ur mind can act it does....Ppl stop takin to ppl who are placed...tht placed syndrome....loss of confidence!!lack of trust!!...seems like the whole world is scheming against u...and most of all those placcom guys(poor them!!),still waiting for a job of their own and bearing the brunt of the whole batch!!!

So whats my view on all thiss...
Well basically..one thing ..u either have clarity or u dont have clarity!! Believe me its much better 2 be the latter. (U have a much larger pool of cos to aply to)
My view on the whole issue is a lil different!!

One its ur life.....its ur career......have confidence and clarity on what u want....and life will be fair on u!!!
Second i think u already have come out of one rat race ..to jump into another one...just think of the ppl u left behind in the previous IT rat race...equally competent(cz i believe ppl in this world atleast ur engineering frens and all are as good as u if nt better) and thus be happy wid wat u have...give it ur best shot.....and have confidence .....after at 22 ur life only starts and u have a long long way to go...
Realise ur dreams shudn be tough.....
U start big or not..what matters is the final destination and not the displacement to get there.......
