If not for an Engineer I would have been a ….. ?

As of now, I am on course to collect my MBA degree while still at job if things move right or may be in another 6 months if any backlog unexpectedly happens ( glorified way of terming cup / arrears ) ,prepare for admission , get in to school and collect my full time MBA , become a Fund Manager or a supply chain coordinator which have been my dream jobs

But sometimes I think, what if I had not been inclined towards engineering and had to adopt an alternate profession , what where they be ? Further the present slowdown at the back ground , the canvas before me provided me to pen down the wildest options

This might be a very casual title on the first look , but on the contrary these are one of the highly paid individuals , whose gastronomic skills fills them enough to fend them superfluously.

2 Cook

Udhyogam purushalakshanam , Nalabagam Mahalakshanam

Hindu mythology says Men are more seasoned at handling the magic potion to produce the wildest of the tastes . Nala is supposed to be one of the finest of cooks ,whom noneth where to able to match in the celestial world
Palakkad cooks ( remember Kameshwaran in Michael Madana Kama Rajan ) are one of the globe trotting lot ,who are known for the awesome recipes and are always on demand ,which as allowed other cooks from neighboring states to call them as palakkad cooks and move around

If at all I were to take the karandi in hand , these would be the first things to dole out
Chena upperi , Aviyal , vathakozhambu , poondu rasam , Rava dosa

My father still tells me that I removed the spark plug from my old Bajaj CUB scooter when I was in class I .Perhaps this would explain ,my love for Mechanical engineering ,nuts and bolts have been through out ,guess ..

Standing on those sacred tarmac area called pit stop , holding a pneumatic tool bit waiting for those sexy speedsters to come to u , holding them on hand … OMG , I would just love to be there

Getting to know what’s happening around was always with me right from my formative years , which many of you would acknowledge and endorse .
Knowing people , networking and trying to update on all around . it also provides an opportunity to know varied people / area and helps u to have a larger perspective of life around

Land and buildings have always fascinated me. This one really doesn't require any formal education , but instead demands toiling up on the field and learning the knacks the hard way.


Whatever said and done, touch wood, I had never been devoid of things i had aspired for ( modest aspirations )..A decent upbringing / schooling / a bunch of good child hood friends & in pretty decent job at hand to fend for myself .I strongly feel that preparing for an alternate career , would infact develop that mental state of figuring out a larger perspective of any situation even in your mainstream career.
