I wanted to be…
Posted by mahabore on July 2, 2009
Rads in her blogazine has tagged all the readers of this particular post to put up the list of persons or professionals that we all wanted to be at some point in time or the other with the rationale for the same. So here comes my list of ‘wannabe people or professionals’ -
1. A pilot, coz I always thought it was cool to fly around those big commercial airliners.
2. A fighter pilot, coz I absolutely loved Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and thought I would be particularly useful in those ‘dogfight’ situations in air.
3. Rajiv Gandhi, coz he always looked so handsome and composed on television (Black and White BPL TV, mind you).
4. Michael Jackson, coz I could grab my crotch and let out a girlish scream whenever I wanted to, without people minding too much.
5. An Army Officer, coz I absolutely loved the Commando series of comics, and thought that I would have been useful to the Allied Forces during WW-II
6. A cricketer, coz I could bowl a mean outswinger, hit those wonderful long sixes, and hit the stumps when fielding from the boundary.
7. A DJ, coz I had this thing for ‘House Music’, which btw I still love.
8. A software engineer, coz I have a trait for logical and analytical thinking.
9. A HR Manager, coz I think I have what it takes to understand people issues and resolve them without antagonizing either the company or the associate.
10. A nice guy, coz although ‘nice guys finish last’, they end up feeling good about themselves.
So continuing with this tag, if you’ve read this post, it becomes almost mandatory that you put up a similar post on your blog and leave behind the link in the comments to this post.
Cheers………Jam

Thanks for being kind enough to say that I actually got to be a nice guy. Although I would like to believe I am still in the process of actually being a nice guy.

That was cool ! And nice guys dont necessarily finish last !
But anyway, they feel good !! Whatever the position !

I know nice guys don’t necessarily finish last, but the the famous saying goes so. And yes, they feel good, irrespective of whether they even finish

You WANTED to be a software engineer, huh? Normally people just want the joblessness and money that come with such a career, but you seem to be one of the real wannabes

Dude, you have no idea how much I wanted to be a software engineer, more so after I started working in the IT Industry. I can clearly see how big a loss the industry has had with me NOT choosing that as a career option
