It's gonna be worth it!
This waiting for the right thing isn't bad at all...
Today was a looong day: got up at 6 AM after 2 hours of sleep; hit the road at 7 AM; reached Chattrapur at 9:15 AM (painful journey); day long placement process which ended at 7 PM (!!); the vehicle breaking down on the way back; and finally, the longer than long journey home!
But the company, pursuing which this entire day was spent is an awesome firm named ARI World! Had read a lot about simulation, simulators et al, but witnessing the company's various simulators up close was such a treat!!
The maritime simulator, in particular, made me go WOW! How advanced can technology get!!
Add to that virtual reality, and I was transported back to the Johnny Quest days!
The process went off smoothly, and the campus was lovely!
The profile on offer is a dream job: a marketing profile for such hi-tech products!
*fingers crossed for a convert*
After a while, the wait seems to be worth it... hope some more nice profiles and companies show up soon...
The drive back to campus, though marred by engine breakdown and wrong turns, was totally fun thanks to the ebullience of Aman, Riju and Swati! Aweseome memories these are too :D
No matter how tired I am at the end of the day, conversing with loved ones is such a stress buster! Love you all :))
Off to sleep early today...
And I plan to not move a single muscle tomorrow... after early morning gym, that is :P
Gunnyt!

No pain, no gain...
There's nothing like punishing yourself to push your limits... helps you realize what all you're capable of!
And you can keep testing your endurance further... there's no stopping!
Funny how I seem to draw parallels between life, gymming, jogging, strumming, and so many other things in this regard...
All of these seem to be governed by a common set of principles.
It's a matter of motivation... you need to have the passion for something to take it up: be it living life to the fullest, hitting the gym, going for jogging, or simply picking up the guitar.
After that, it's all a matter of patience really, hanging in there and not giving up... appreciating things moving in slow motion is a skill, especially in today's fast moving world!
It's about countless repetitions before getting what you want... over and over and...
It's about hitting lows, looking up, and appreciating the climb that awaits you...
Plus the ability to tolerate pain... the climb isn't a cakewalk *ouch*
But yeah! Eventually the wait, the pain, the effort, everything for that matter is worth it... always :)
