A Bogie Derails...

Today's Newspaper read..."A bogie derails over a stolen manhole cover"..... 'Bogie derails'.... reminds me of something....

It was my first campus call...Accenture...off campus..Pillai college....open for students of all categories.. I was pretty excited n nervous ofcourse....like everyone i too wanted to score in my verrry first campus..not tht i longed for it....it was a IT company n m frm Mechanical n i dont want to switch sides....just tht I will have sumthng in hand in case my decision changes...plus lill bit of vatt in coll..."Haila iska Accenture main Placement ho gaya"...hehe..

We got off at sum station i dont remember which.... I was with a few frnds...I asked them "Abbe rassta pata hai kya coll ka....poochle kisi ko to..(Do u know the road to the coll....ask someone..) but I soon found it quite unnecessary.... the train i was in consisted of 80% of students tht wer headed the same destination...the brain started clicking....

We followed a group who we guess wer grp with same purpose..we crossed the bridge, got off the station walked a curved path n its then tht i stopped conversing with frnds n looked up...what i saw ahead made me think, alot...

It was a winding road ahead...kucha road....covered on both sides with half grown grass...road made a formation of bigg S if u can imagine... n every cm of the pathway was occupied with a student heading for the same destination....same pathway tht i was following...

I knew my dreams would be shattered if i joined tht line...shattered even before they wer created....Ii would be doing same mundane work....get into an company..slog my ass for few years....get promotion...get married..have kids n so on....wish tht every one wished...work tht everyone worked on already.. live a life tht everyone lives n 'enjoys'...

It reminded me the song frm Pink Floyd..."We dont need no Education".....the video was ditto......a linnnne of human as raw materials entering a process industry n vommited out as finished packages....I found my self entering the same process industry....I was the bogie of the train tht was driven by the same engine tht drived every other bogie.....

Tht moment i thought...tht moment i made up my mind.....tht moment a 'Bogie' derailed!!!!
