Handkerchief to Java - Shattering my dreams


Java the most happening interface of current era. I am the one among the few cases who hate Java to the core(?) But, when I think my past there comes lot of moments where I need to put a smile and accept things. If I think or say that I don't like something, the very next situation, I will be either taking up that thing which I mentioned "I don't like it" :(
Right from my school to college to profession, I have been experiencing the same. I wished to join a christian missionary school and I did my schooling on a pure, orthodox Hindu missionary. When I decide to move out of my town for college, fate played a role on forcing me to do my college in my native only. I used to yell that college when I was doing my school and at last I was a successful Engineer from the same college!
In college days, I used to bunk my Java classes as I was fascinated too much to C language. Out of 63, 60 people did their academic projects on Java and I was the rare one who did a real time project on C. I tried to withstand my individuality and the result, hmm I was jobless was 8 months as I don't know Java basics. Yet, I tried for a carrier with C and all my friends joined BPO to balance their expenses. I stayed alone and was hoping to get into a Job with C background. Again situation changed my thoughts and my first Job was a Technical Support Executive in a BPO! I still chuckle myself about this. I stayed in BPO field for about 2 years and my search against Software field was on the go meanwhile.
Few of my friends recommended testing is the only chance to get into the Software Market but again I stood with my individuality (Fool?). Atlast I am writing this post with the designation named "Testing Engineer" Again, the product I work is on Java and it took my peace long time ago :(
Recent days, I had trouble with the JVM. Because of that I was not able to do my work and then I decided Java also added up to shatter my individuality. Isn't it? I made a habbit of not blaming something which is really worse or do not fit me (right from a handkerchief to gals) This is a moral of my life and its a good lesson. But you got know one truth. I always expertise on all the things which I refused initially to take up. Yah, even I had my blog on wordpress as I thought of not using blogger and now......Ehh... Oh god, what do I call this?
