Back to Office... er! College!

Another chapter opens in my book. After completing Masters in Pharmacy, I had applied to a wide variety of jobs. I was not able to concentrate on one particular role, and the unharnessed horse that mind was kept wandering from place to place. I traveled quite a lot during the summer months, attending interviews, and finally almost landed up at one job. That job was totally unrelated to my qualification, but I landed there out of passion. The monetary compensation was on the lower side, but I somehow decided to give it a try.

Perhaps, my destiny was not to leave my field this time (both my previous jobs were totally unrelated to my area of specialisation). Hours before I was to join my new job, my profession called me back. I quickly shifted location from Chennai to Bangalore, and took a job that not much in my age bracket to prefer to take up - Teaching! After about three years of being unemployed (I took a break from work to pursue post-graduation), I was back to a job, and back to college!

I took up my new job as an Assistant Professor in a reputed Pharmacy College in Bangalore on May 18, 2012. I was standing in front of my teacher in January this year, and today, I stand in front of my students. It feels awkward when students wish you Good Morning 'sir' when you pass by them - maybe it takes time to get used to it. The job comes with its set of responsibilities - to create a competent generation of pharmacists. The days ahead would be busy with chalks and blackboards - learning many things that I had resisted during my college days. Like someone say, teachers are students for life.. how true!
