I started working for a software company over 4 years back. They had hired us directly from the college.There is no bigger joy than getting a good campus placemenet.Its always like all the hardwork one does in 10th board exams,12th entrance and then the enginnering has become successful.
26 of us were picked up from the college and taken to Trivandrum,a distant place in south India, for almost 3 months for initial training.
Although I had been living in hostels for over 6 years then, it was for the 1st time,I was going so far from home.
They used to have a mid-term exam.The company had offices all across the country.It was largely on the basis of midterm exam that individuals were allcated to the offices.
I had always wanted to go to Bangalore, the software capital of the nation.Luckily I was ranked in top 4 of my 400+ strngth batch.It was almost sure tht I will get the location of my choice.Now I had to fill in 3 options.I was talking to my mom over the phone and filling my choices.My first choice was Bangalore, 2nd as hyderabad.
I still remember my mom was almost into tears,she asked me to fill atleast the 3rd choice as Delhi.But I was too inconsiderate! I filled some other location as 3rd option.
I got to Bangalore..continued with the same company for a while..worked hard..got another job and all..from a professional standpoint,my choice of Bangalore has given me everything I wanted,a good job,high rank,worldwide travel..anything one would desire for a successfull career.But it also has taken away a lot from me..
I still grieve if I could go back in time and change my 1st choice to Delhi.
Ever since I am stuck in a far away place from home.I cant go back....
life is moving on..getting farther from my home with every passing moment.
I miss everything I left back,my family,my town,the simplicity in life, the sweet memories of home...
cant I just break all the barriers and go back...
at this point, i remember the song from chak de india "maula mere le le meri jaan"..
