Placements!! the current buzz on campus. People are worried whether they will get one of their dream companies or not, or the best one they have in hand!! everyone knows they will get placed in some company, but how good or bad that will be, what is the package, what is the profile, the location.....and the list goes on..This is the scene at one of the most prestigious institutes of the country. Ever wondered what happens in so to say, the lower grade colleges. Was talking to one of my friends, and then I came to know that most of the students in her colleges are getting their internship, on their own, through sources and all, because the profile/company being offered at campus is not worth taking. All the institutes claim of hundred percent placements, but how good or bad the placement is, only the insiders know. Thankfully I am out here and so the tension is still less.
So, what do students look for during placements. During summers all you care for is a company, except when you have the privilege of getting a number of offers. But during finals you still have a choice. You may or may not get a PPO but only few finally accept them. For those who get the privilege, they can decide after the placement process, while some have to decide long before the process starts, due to which many reject it. So many students tank the interview if they have a better company at hand! Talk to people and the major considerations are the brand name, package, profile, location etc etc......and whats the highest priority, all depends on person to person, though most of them would go for pay package and the brand name, there are some who would take a lower brand company if the profile is better. Difficult choice indeed!! that to when you get to choose among the companies you have a final offer from.
But only some people are sure of what do we finally want to do in future, 5 years down the line. What do we want from life. Most of us are still wondering while some may have a clear goal..Good question! what do we want from life....money, independence,name fame this is the list many may have. but at the crux of it I feel what matters the most is peace and happiness.If you are happy, there is nothing else you can ask for. But now a days, that is one of the scarce things to find. The other day I was watching the movie 'Bawarchi' and the lesson in end was be happy and spread happiness. The most important thing in life are the small things which give us happiness, but which we often forget. In the haste of achievement everyone is concerned about themselves, but the happiness we get with our loved ones is indeed unparalleled. In this growing competitive world, people dont have time for anyone. they just want to move ahead in life, and for this some might even choose the wrong path. I don't say that its wrong to move ahead in life but it should not be at the expense of some one else. Let your deeds be a reason for others to be happy about and not a cause for their distress...
In the end I would just say:

"Har pal mein pyar hai,
har lamhe mein khushi,
kho do to yaadein hai,
jee lo to zindagi......"
har lamhe mein khushi,
kho do to yaadein hai,
jee lo to zindagi......"
