  Needed. People my Age
I like going to the office and I genuinely like the organization, but after talking to Isha on Saturday I realized I miss being around people me (or around) my age!

I am the youngest in the office, but its really not as bad as it could have been since I think the average age (leaving out he administration) is 25. The thing is I look too young! I'm 18 going on 19 and people don't believe it. Which is probabhly why I carry my old school ID card (it has my birth-date) in my wallet and proudly sport the black mark on my nail that proves I voted. My usual consolation is that I'll look appropriately young when I'm 30. No...I'm digressing. I am my age and I can't be content to surround myself with people way elder to me.

Anyway, I think I'll join German language classes in Max Mueller Bhavan with Swati. That will definitely give me some exposure to the world of well...people like me, or atleast me age.
 
Comments:
Okay ! So you've joined a job !
Have fun !
 
Hmmm...Are you being sarcastic or sincere?

Well, technically its not my first job, but this is much more professional. The fun factor might not figure so much...I just get a kick from being able to do something well and feeling that I have something which might mean something in the real world.

You know what I mean?!
 
A job at 18!!! :O How come you graduated so early? You jumped a few classes?
 
Sincere !!!!!
Honestly !...have fun, If you get satisfaction and enjoy what do are doing, there is nothing better that you can do ! :)
 
Handa: I haven't graduated yet, yaar. Just out of school.

Vardan: You know, the only thorn in that thought is the concept of "Pain today, Gain tommorow". Only, I know I know I have to be really inspired and clear of what I'm going to get in the end to endure it.
 
U know dipika... this "pain today, gain tomorrow" concept was never something i liked.
The thing with it is that the so-called 'tomorrow' never comes. Theres always a tomorrow for which u need to work/get-pained.
My call is... enjoy life while u are at it.. but not so much that u ruin ur future.
This philosophy of mine has been called 'un-ambitious', 'careless' and even 'uninspiring - demoralizing' , but somehow i still follow it.
Life is to be lived once, if we do not enjoy it now , we never will.
 
Dipika.. just carru on with ur work.. dont think about what in store for tomorrow.. work hard and party harder..
 
Hey ... wazzup ... long time no c
 
I was naturally inclined to go through your Blog, Must say its quite interesting reading... I wont say you are too young to work at 18. I started out working young as well (17 to be precise) and have been working the same place since about 5 years (I'm more or less happy)

So what kind of a job are you into, at 18?
 
I'm working in a software company. Right now, I'm generating reports using Crystal Reports and C#.NET. It's been umm... very educational. :)

I love it when I sit down and discover (rather am forced to figure out for myself) new/alternate ways to implement stuff, and the moment of triumph (and the "Why didn't I see this before?!") after some heavy troubleshooting and debugging.

"You write because you need to write, or because you hope someone will listen, or because writing will mend something broken inside you, or bring something back to life-" - Jay Makintosh (from Blackberry Wine) I need to write. I need to rearrange and refine sentences. I want to ponder over how to put that thought in words; so that it fits in the scheme of things just so. Words can create magic and I want to get lost in them for some part of each day's life.
