It was here that i had to give up..although right from the moment this finance-oriented conversation sped off..i had found nothing wherein i could try and get my interest going..and so eventually i got entangled in my own world of thoughts..
meanwhile..many a things happened around me..my bua kept on briefing me about the places that followed us on our way..back to home after the counseling session at IIT Bombay..sometimes even dad took a small break from his conversation and asked a few things about d remaining counseling procedure that was to follow..
But i just kept nodding at every string of words that was thrown at me..for i had barely no brain left after d tiring and breath-taking trial at IIT Bombay..and the nanometer square area of it (the one left out)..was busy fighting with some other random thoughts pf mine that had installed themselves in my brain:
---start---
1.I was trying hard to understand d prospect of long-held-conversation b/w papa and driver..i wondered if papa wished me to join this profession in view of his job profile..earning without any investment..LOL.
waise "what profession will a person opt for?" is a subject of internal debate for many people..and i am certainly no different..i often lose earthly sense of logic and often go on to think about professions i want to be involved in..
What i get, is totally unearthly..i want to be an engineer, a formula-1 racer, a fighter pilot, a writer, a soldier..and all at the same time!
2.I was also reliving my first go-cart experience..remembering how the so-called-suspension-less Formula 1-car bumped over and over making my specs unstable..and how i managed to prevent myself from being dashed by an expert..
3.And I was also trying to make sure that if bua says something to me..i react well enough..but d mental trauma that i suffered while opting branches at JEE counselling session..had drained me, off all my strength..and left me totally incompetent..
