1.5 years,a few books and Films

Yesterday I checked my PSP and found out that I have completed 1.5 years in Wipro. I sat down for a while and looked back.

The initial tumultuous days. And then I reflected how some films and a few books have kept me going.

When you survive your worst days,you need your near and dear ones' support. You need a bit of luck and last but not the least self belief...you need to push yourself all the time. And I believe that was the most difficult part.

Today I will say how some films and books acted as my support system.

When everything seemed to be against me I remembered Pursuit of Happyness(This the way the movie is spelled). I remembered how Will Smith's character struggled against all odds.

I got my first project on 24Th April,2008(sic!). I had to start my CAT prep,and hence needed to come back by 8PM. And I saved time by not taking water and hence no bathroom breaks(Again Pursuit of Happyness).

There were ...err..unpleaseant incidents. And I fell back on The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

Missed my school days terribly...and guess what I read : To Sir With Love! Not exactly the school story I was looking for...but at least I got to revisit my school classrooms.

Time was running.....and I never noticed.The clocks followed their own rule silently..and I never noticed.

It was time for a new project,. And absolutely nothing prepared me about what I was going to face. What followed was 5 most difficult months of my professional life till date. Coming home at 11 at night became a norm.

I always felt as if a pistol was placed on my temple,ready to be off loaded into my skull. Sub consciously I used to blurt out..:No No don't shoot(Hugh Jackman.The Prestige) and sometimes just a poignant 'No'(Keanu Reeves,The Matrix Revolution).

Time over time I used to say "believe"(Lawrence Fishburne.The Matrix Series).

Sometimes I wanted to shout to "Protect them,don't destroy them..and you will be proud...(Al Pacino,Scent of a Woman).

Sometimes I wanted to be Bourne and hit the shit out of them.....

Sometimes just wanted to run like Forest Gump...

And then again a new project.....

And finally I cleared my assessment....and I shouted in my mind Whoo Haa(Al Pacino,The Scent of a Woman).

Presently I am reading J.D.Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

PS:Just some incoherent thoughts.Just wanted to write some thing.
