hunting for jobs & my life in general on 25th Jan 07 - 11 pm CST

Disclaimer: Presently this is more of a mental note or a daily diary kinda thing.

I am out in the job market since a few months but nothing much seems to be happening. Right now, I'm working as an intern in a big company. I was hoping things might work out here but the position I interviewed for went to some son-of-a-*%@^! (son of an employee). I guess I've lost to favoritism. It'll be interesting where I end up.

Its the helplessness that hurts me the most. I am reminded of my favorite Urdu couplet (sher):

ज्ञिन्दगी तुझ से हर इक बात पे समझौता करूँ,
शौक जीने का है मुझको मगर इतना तो नहीं।
- मुज्ञफ्फर वारसी

[Written by Muzaffar Warsi this couplet can be loosely transliterated as:
I make compromises with life at every step, I have a desire to live but no so much.]

I usually go with the attitude of 'taking the bull by it horns' but its not bearing fruitful results yet. May be I need to do some soul searching needs to be done.

Everything seems very stale and still right now. Nothing seems to excite me nowadays.
