It has been quite some time since I have been wanting to blog in general. My laziness is a much greater driving force. With all the procrastination, here we are! So, it’s been about two years since my last post and I intend to finish this post!
What’s new on my end? I now hold a Masters degree in Engineering.
Guess what?! I hate engineering.
That does kind of make me stupid. Normally, people realize the fact that they absolutely do NOT see themselves in the engineering field once they are done with their bachelor’s degree. It took me another two years and a few extra lakhs to realize that this is not my ME! Haha! Such a cruel joke!
Anyway, I got placed in Cognizant last year in college. I was over the moon! Obviously! Things aren’t as rosy as I thought it was. Now, I have everyone telling me to either get married or find a new job.
Ahem.. And I’ll tell you why that is sooo not happening.
I’m not ready to be married. I’m not ready to take on any responsibility other than my own(why should I?). PERIOD.
As far as the job scene is concerned, it’s not as easy as my ignorant relatives think it is. I think my mum is solely to be blamed for all the sniggering that happens when my ignorant relatives see me. Argh. I mentally slap them all.
Random Aunt: “So, how sure are you that you are going to get your date of joining?”
Me: *mentally slapping her* “Very sure, Aunty!”
Random Aunt: “Why don’t you look for another job?”
Me: *controlling my temper and thinking to myself how insignificant their lives are* “It’s not as easy as you think it is.”
Random Aunt: “Why don’t you get married?”
Me: *Confused how the conversation went from career to marriage* “I don’t want to get married right now.”
I just walk off, because I cannot tolerate shit.
My parents are no different. It’s pointless blaming relatives when your own blood belittles you. It is NOT funny anymore!
Dad: “I’ll help you start a business because working in a software company is difficult.”
Me: *I think to myself that I am really lucky to have parents who believe in me*
It is impossible to look for a silver lining that doesn’t exist.
I am someone who believes that everyone should be independent. I don’t want to be anybody’s plus one my whole life.That is not who I am. For all the men out there(including my Dad), a woman’s life is not about making yours more comfortable. At least, that’s is not how I will ever see it. For me financial independence is as important as breathing. Do you want to continue to exist or live life? The choice is yours. I choose the latter.
I am 24, that doesn’t mean that I am ready to be married and produce babies. I do not need a man to validate my existence. Actually, I do not blame my relatives for their thinking. It’s sad that their upbringing was primitive but to evolve is your choice. When you choose not to evolve, your head will forever remain in the gutter of your backward beliefs.
I may not have landed my dream job, but I do have a job. I fully intend to make the best use of it. The haters can continue to hate.
Cheers 🙂
