Life post grad school:

I was looking for a new job post graduation. For quite a bit time I was sad when most of my friends had already found one and I was busy looking for one but at the same time I was hopeful and determined as I spoke to my then roommate Malav, (MJ) He was a ray of light help in all that darkness. It was a great setting. Chinmay my then roommate also helped me a lot. It was all of a sudden that my life was going in the struggle phase where everything was not as planned or as expected perfect but it taught me one very important virtue that is of Patience. I was happy at the same time as I was in the best town which has a lot of memories associated with it. I was in Ann Arbor. Then came Jan 15 and I finally accepted a temporary position with CNHi, Pennsylvania. That journey itself was a roller coaster. I have for a fact accepted in life that it has to be adventurous otherwise it ain't worth living.

Now was the time to get all prepped up for the new job and get set for the new phase or the so called boring routine, Well as much of a routine it was it was quite a lot of fun, I was going to stay with my old friend Julian as he also got a job in the same company and I was looking forward to that, I got a car within a week before I moved and then packed everything and drove to Lancaster, PA. Now was the time to get out of that chilled phase of life and get set with a pair of trousers and a shirt and get dressed to goto work. I was as much excited as anxious at the same time. Life was different in the last few months where I was experiencing some few months of grad school's laid back life. I was going through a rough patch in the last few months of '14 when I ended my long term relationship with my ex. and also after my internship at Cummins in Memphis TN. Going through all these phases was not at all easy and it taught me so many different lessons. Never be afraid of anything in life as you are made to face all these situations by your parents and that they are always there for you.

I don't think there was a single day when my mom or dad would not call me to find out how I was doing and to make sure I was stable in my life and fearless. My brother also was a great support in those tough times. He would be the rational logical who would help me put some sense in my brain and not get carried away with emotions. On the other hand, my parents would often sway me away with their emotional statements, But it was a good mix and I love them for always being there for me.

Life will never give you what you want, you have to go there and get it by yourself. Today, for whatever I have achieved or attained is all because of that gut sitting inside of me, I was just dreaming in my life all along that one day I want to work in the field of Data Analytic s and do something cool and not the mundane.Here I am today working as Modelling Associate in the heart of the financial industry of the world, New York. Yes that's right. I am hardly able to believe this, Day by day nothing changes but as you look back a lot has changed. I am going to talk a little bit about my life in Lancaster at my previous job. Staying as a paying guest for the first time in my life as one, it was quite eventful. I was living at Steph's in PA. She was a wonderful person and I am sure she is to date. She had a dog Mia. She lived with her mother Catherine Ray who also adopted a dog lately and my then roommate Julian. Matt also a PG at Steph's. It was a lot of fun to stay with them as they were quite welcoming and warm as they were. It was a wonderful experience to share a common house with people from a different part of the world and get accustomed to and enjoy living with them.
