Perspectives and perceptions

For all these months, while i was studying, the natural progression of the course is such that you expect to end the course with a clear idea of what you want to do next. After a lot of confusion and back and forth of ideas, visions, etc. i now think that i do know what i want. while i was writing my resume, i realised that these were the kind of roles that i'd like to be doing... i remembered my friend rakshit, who told me, the best way to think about all this, is to imagine yourself years down the line and imagine what would you like your visiting card to look like, what designation are you seeing yourself in... and it does work actually... :) well, the resume's ready. the cover letter's just getting ready. and then zoooom! off it goes to the company and hopefully pat comes the invitation! keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that it all falls into place!
