Confusion ! Diallema ! Getting out of it ! Is an Enigma...at least for me.

The greatest problem I face in my life is when I have to take a crucial decision in my life. Decisions which decide where I will head to in future.And the greatest hurdles which come up are - will the path you choose is of your interest or not, will it be paying or not(if its career related) or the decision will make you happy or not(ones related to love lives). You start evaluating the pros and cons of the same(In my case the Heart just pumps the blood in my body to keep me alive and its just my one and only brain that does the thinking job for me). And what happens generally is that both paths you have ahead of you have strong positives and negatives. You are totally perplexed! Its then you reach out to your near and dear ones of yours for help. So the problem becomes gigantic all the more. Everyone comes up with different views and suggestions. All the more everyone seems correct on their part. Therefore your mind starts wobbling to and fro as you talk to one person and the other. Whether to go for this way or that way. In the course of this you forget what you really wanted and the whole world seems to be a completely messed up puzzle. And you wish you were dead, a better solution to come out of this deadlock.

Looking ahead in future could solve the problem but no one has managed to do so yet. Even I don't believe in palmistry or taro cards prediction(though I admit reading daily horoscope is fun).

I remember a incident from my first year at college -- ALA club of which I was a member(now abandoned) had taken up a task of preparing a Diwali collage for the college notice board. We had prepared a huge DIYA with sparkles coming out of the flame. And each flame had some forecasts on the basis of Zodiac signs...which obviously were forged and were crap even in comparison to the newspaper ones. For example --- "VIRGO : The back bencher's will have to face the wrath of the teachers this week but will earn them attention from girls".Still the feed back we found was positive and people used to associate themselves with it.
It was difficult to believe !!! But its true !!!

So coming back to the topic again. It becomes very difficult to take a decision as its a crucial one. This is exactly the case with me these days. On one front I have an MBA option in Oil & GAS from UPES (you haven't heard it right...its a mid level college). And on other front have a job at SAP LAB's (on contractual mode of employment). Both of the choices are equally fraught with uncertainty...recession has added a spice to it. If I go for MBA there which is a segregated sector may or may not have scope in future but the jobs are well paying if you fight your way into it. But with it also all my entrepreneurial dreams shall be shattered even before they germinate. But the job is low paying and is also uncertain in recession times. Still if I go with this option and it turns out to be a wrong one, its repairable. I can definitely recover and shoot back again.

It was good when my parents used to take decisions in of my life and I could follow them blindly. As it was till I took admission in Graduation. But its out of their scope now.

Therefore, I have to take my chances now.
So All the very best to you Ashish! Go ahead man. Face the blow.
