First taste of success

After almost 2 month of cloying work as a trainee at a MNC giant, i drew the end of a project. The training project report got approved, which i must say i wouldn't have done had I been on the other end. However, this success neither gives me any satisfaction or hope. The sheer knowledge of the fact that i could have achieved more in this period of time marred the whole thing. The project partners today calls for a festivity and celebration but i personally find no reason for it. Its almost like being dragged to a marriage party of the next door neighbour or certain social obligation. You dont feel involved in any way.
The whole project period had been spent in idling away the time. Not for the sole reason of escaping the work but for the fact that we were not given any work to do. The slow pace of the work progress drove away all the initial zeal.
At the end ofthe period I must say I gained a lot of experiences if not technical knowledge. I had the first glimpse of the corporate world work enviornment. Most of the experiences were rather gratifying.

Bitter Truths.

With the start of the rat race for the careers I find myself surrounded boxed in by a pack of jackals. The line between the Friend and the Foe has long disappeared.
More and more people around are turning out to be opportunists each day.
The last one month had been a real enlivening experience. Looking back I now wonder why isn't there any back-up/recovery option in real life. I saw some forsaking friends and fawning at the sublimity of some other. Some I saw selling off friendship for futile trinkets.
The long cherished memories of the college days are starting to stain. Questions befuddle the mind on their ingenuity. Were they a put up act? I ask myself. I am too weak should answers come hard. The rugged reality makes me retire to the comforts of solitude.
