MY FRIEND SUSHMA

It had been ages since i met her.The last time we met she was confident,bubbly,never minced words and had a glow on her face which characterised her personality.Today there was something about her which ripped an absyss in my heart.A feeble smile ,a certain hostility worried me.We struck conversation over a cup of coffee....

"Yaar..me really tensed and stressed out these days"

I was anticipating this...

"Ya felt so..what happened..lemme know" I said to put her at ease...

"Tell me...."

With a long face she began.....

"Over the last few days ther's a huge fuss at my place regarding my further studies..an MBA or MS. I am all agog for MBA but people are like 'you have done engineering so go ahead for MS' 24*7 I think the same..I firmly believe in my intuitions....just asked my inner voice to guide me..that same night i dreamt of clearing my visa...a visit to my uncle's place the next day added to my woes....he thrust upon me a problem to test my skills..."beta,u continue whatever u have been doing for the past few years" pat was the reply after goin through my answer....I was reminded of Paulo Coelho's ''Alchemist"....'When you want something the universe conspires for you'..so is it like something is guiding me...showing me my way...will destiny shape me or will I shape it up...what decides course of life??? is everything written before or will I be mending my future..how can i even think of an MS when I am technically ignorant...about many aspects???"

"Are you listening?"

"Ya" i croaked

"What should I do ...tell me..i dont want to waste my life behind something that's never gonna work ..which means should i follow my intution?"..."Tell me yaar"...she looked away in agony.

I was gasping for words...."Well....umm...I think...u should.....................

Well....umm...I think...u should stop studying and start working :))
That's exactly what i m doing:)

Jokes apart...i think she shud go for MBA. Engineering provides u technical skills and MBA managerial skills. Combination of both skills wud yield better results.
Moreover, she dreamt of clearing her visa. She can do an MBA from abroad too:) Why only MS??

what wud u tell her Divya??
