Reality Sinks In

The job is boring. The company is breaking. And the worries are mounting.

The first time I heard the news of Raju's confession, I was shocked and excited. I was happy that finally there is something that is happening in Satyam. No, that wasn't a wisecrack.

But now, the adrenaline has drained, the excitement has gone and reality is sinking in. Just as graduating from the best college in Gujarat puts you in a different league altogether, getting thrown out of Satyam also puts you in a completely different league. More so when you have spent the one year in Satyam on bench. Freelancing does provide the dough to last but it is not easy to freelance forever. Making plans of becoming an enterpreneur are easy, but finding a single project idea worth the money is tough.

It seems the tiger that Raju was riding is now slowly closing its jaws, inch by inch, over our necks. The economy is bad and is going to become worse. Our bosses have advised us to start looking for a new job.

There is despondancy creeping in for sure, but it is also with a lot of desperation. Options abound, but which oen to go for is still an issue. Lets pray for the best.
