The
day I took my last board exam of twelfth class should have been marked with
excitement and ecstasy. But there I was, sitting in one corner of my house,
lost and befuddled. I was absolutely clueless about my future. On the other
hand, all my friends were celebrating their newfound freedom. While most of
them too had no idea of the career they wished to pursue, there was this one
friend among those who was absolutely sure about his future career in hotel management.
While
I went for the safest option and took admission in one of the most popular
commerce courses, my friend managed to gain admission in one of the top 10 hotel management colleges in India. He
soon left the city to pursue his long-cherished dream. While he called me
regularly in the beginning, his calls became less frequent with the passage of
time. He told me about his erratic work hours that often left him deprived of
sleep. But he was always cheerful, and narrated all his experiences in depth.
He told me all about the skills that he had acquired. I was very happy when I
got to know about his internship with a premium hotel and how much his work was
being appreciated by his seniors over there. He also managed to land a job with
the same hotel after he graduated from college.
Even
though he works outside Delhi, he keeps paying regular visits to his family
here. All of his friends (including me) recently went to meet him at his place.
His passion and dedication never fail to amaze us. Despite being on vacation,
he personally cooked food for all of us and treated us with utmost hospitality.
I must say that the food was absolutely delicious. We are sure he would go a
long way if he continues to work hard like this.
