Bloging not Boozing on a weekend - A call for change. #Beginning
I feel quite amused looking at myself! Gautam is this you?? On a weekend , instead of a bottle of beer you are having a laptop and pointlessly rambling on your blog???
A lot has been going on in my mind of late, especially the MS in US bug has finally bitten me. Sitting here in my room listening to the electronic music being played at a nearby pub.. I feel quite numb when I think of my future. MS in US is such a big gamble, the investments are equivalent to buying a niche Studio | Two Bedroom Apartment or at least an Audi Q3. :D
Woww... I guess this what people call freaking out. Some might say that I should call myself lucky to be able balance my passion and my profession and MS stuff should chucked off but i feel Life is completely about learning and new experiences. Since of late i have been feeling quite bored at work, mostly since I am not learning anything new.. I guess its a call for a change. As someone told me once " Change is the only constant ".
Change - which one shall I call as change, applying for MS, quitting my job after getting a call from my Wish-listed Universities or should I take a risk after applying for MS, with hope..quit my job, go on a month or two long low budget solo trip across NE in search of hidden avians and butterflies, come back to Chennai join as a part-time or intern in a small tech firm, learn new technologies and Hope that I get at least 1 admit from my Wish listed Univs for 2015 fall ?? I wonder.. the prospect of that Risky 2nd option scares and enthralls me at the same time!
Getting another job after a break is one thing and learning is another! People around me will always advise to follow the safer first option.. but i feel the 2nd option will add a flavor to my portfolio..
Well for now all i can think of is the one hell of a homework left to do for my GRE quants class tomorrow!! So let me finish my GRE and apply for the Univs.. then will decide whether to take the plunge or not!
