Few days back I watched this movie 3 idiots, I had a mindset that movie would be a regular college masti - where there is love, romance, friends and all masala to make it a perfect bollywood flick but oh! How wrong I was.
The movie turned out to be one of the most serious topics.A topic which is so close to my heart and a subject which I am trying to make a living off!
The concept of MeraCareerGuide.Com is no different from what Rancho( Amir Khan) kept on telling in the movie to his friend " Take up a job that you love and you will never have to work a single day of your life"
In the movie when Farhan opts out of engineering and take up wild life photography, one must hear him convince his father- "Main bana bhi to bahaut bura engineer banoonga, Wild life photographer ban ke main khush to rahoonga, Jo bhi karoonga aapke liye dil se karoonga." And gracious! what a succesful photgrapher he becomes; with several publications to his credit. So what was the key to his success - He did what he loved.
I am sure 90% of us have a hidden passion like Farhan. A dream we dreamt of but eventually family, money, peer prssure and oh, the race....all defated the passion. And from then begins a walk to office everyday to get the month end cheque.
The movie took me back in time, to those 16 yrs of education and a short stint with a highly reputetd MNC. How I ended up becoming an engineer is something still remains mysterious to me. I always knew I have a non-scientific tempramenet and dreamt about myself of someone like Barkha Dutt handling a debate show or some one like J.K.Rowling wondering over a good plot of book. At times I imagined myself to be politically active and at times a social worker. I also dreamt of being someone like M.F.Hussain with a brush and colors around...But engineer??...naah, never imagined that in the wildest of my dreams.
I still get embarassed when someone identifies me as one of the state topper's of Andhra Pradesh. Taking up Electrical and Electronics Engineering came by chance and not by choice as one of the most reputed colleges of India opened its doors for me.How could I say no !!
I am glad we are getting to watch 3 Idiots. Even gald that MeraCareerGuide.Com is on the same lines. I am sure Indian Audience ( Parents +Students) would see the movie as much beyond the 3 hrs entertainment.
Today I am also happy that I am following my heart- I am an engineer by chance but an edu-preneur by choice and I am doing my bit to add to this education system and for all those people who doesnot have a friend like Rancho to guide them, here's MeraCareerGuide.com!!
Come. Let's get educationally smart.
