Which is the turning point !!!!!!

I was in tenth class. Seven periods a day; six school going days in a week. One fine(not really) day my biology teacher came to our class. As usually the class used to maintain pin drop silence not even once in a while. Everyone is busy in their work. Teacher came and stood silent on the stage. Slowly everyone became attentive and slowly every one stopped talking. At the end of that transformation, a noise was clearly heard "PO BEY..", yes that was my friend's voice who unnoticed the teacher and continued his splendid form(chatting with others). "Stand Up"! she yelled at him. "Is this a class or a Fish market !! "See students, this is the turning point of your life. You might have enjoyed a lot till now. But this is the time you have to stop all that and concentrate on your studies. If you dont get good marks in the tenth class. You will not be good for anything in this world".

This continued for several times from different teachers. All this might be infused some interest in me and passed the tenth standard with not very bad marks . Guys please let me say "I passed in flying colours". That really feels good. After the exams I enjoyed a lot with my friends for fifteen days i guess. Then there was the search for a good college . My cousin got a seat in a Junior college. I dint get a seat over there. Yep i approached them a bit late and that college was the top college at that time. However with some recommendation i got into it unfortunately. First time staying away from my parents.

Now every lecturer started to say this is the real turning point. Really??? Ok. Screening tests started in the college. At the end of the D-day i felt these are bit tougher than EAMCET. I failed to perform in the screening tests. So they decided i was fit to right only EAMCET. No IIT entrance. I feel these two years are worst part of my life with no pleasure and time to relax.

Next into Engineering. Professors started saying "the first two years are important, even GATE syllabus is mostly covered in these two years. So concentrate from the beginning. Now you have worked hard and secured a seat. This four years are going to be crucial and turning point of your life". Things were very nice in the first two years because i was out of a central jail. And then in the third and fourth year some started going for GATE and some for GRE. Most of my class students settled in a good way.

And i joined a company(name not to be disclosed). Hoping for fun, frolic, and some work. It is happening the other way with lot of work and less enjoyment. Unfortunately adding to my misery is this economic slowdown. Yesterday me and my colleague were having a cup of coffee. Here entered my Manager.
M(Manager)-"HI"
We(my friend and me)- "HI"
M-"How is the work going?"
We - "Fine".
M-"See this is a very good project. And initially in these first two years you have to show the proactiveness and grasp and as much as you can. You can see even the market is not good. This is the turning point of your career."
My colleague said "yes". And in this frustration I am writing this article. I really dont understand how many more turning points are going to come in my life!!! .
