What comes Next ?

When I first came to IIT Roorkee, I was working at Geotech Solution International (GSI). I left because I got the offer letter and also completed my internship there. Now, maybe I will join them again. For now, I want some refreshment.

Actually, I came to IIT Roorkee for refreshment too. I thought it would be like a holiday. Celebrations. College life. Free time. But it was the opposite of what I thought. First year, busy with assignments and classes. Second year, thesis. I never got any good or memorable time here.

Now, I finally get a chance to spend time with myself. I am doing that. I am enjoying it. It doesn't mean I am becoming irresponsible. It's just a break. Always remember, to run faster, you sometimes need to step back.

For those starting a new job, it feels exciting. Getting a salary. But for someone like me who has done it, I know how hard it is. It's hard to spend time with yourself. Life is totally rushed. I just wanted to share my journey with you.

I know this is the last chapter where fun moments end and new responsibility begins. Fresh obstacles will hit. Once, when I was working in college, Nabraj Pokharel sir told me: "Bibek, you are very straight. You melt when people get emotional, and you forget the hidden benefit they want from you. This world is selfish. Being good is good, but if you don't go according to the world, you are considered a fool."

After completing my Master's, I realized he was right. When you never go through good and bad people, you cannot compare who is bad and who is good. So it is good if you meet both. The negative experiences, the selfish people, the moments you felt used, they also taught me something. They opened my eyes. They made me wiser. Without the bad, I would never know the value of the good.
