My dream job

I am an average Indian guy. When I was studying my dream was to get into a good institute, study hard, get placed on day one of placements, go to USA on an assignment and settle their within the next five years. Unfortunately I am an average Indian guy. I went to a decent institute, watched all the movies released during my college days, prayed to God to pass me, got rejected from couple of interviews, got selected in an interview, left the company ASAP when I realized I was doing only donkey work and now hold a job that pays enough to make my parents think that I must get married.

Steve Jobs said, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Hence, my dream job is to do what I love to do and being an Indian I love cricket. Unfortunately I am now too old to play cricket and hence, my dream job is to own an IPL franchise.

According to BCCI only four types of people can own an IPL franchise. You must be either a bollywood superstar, worked in bollywood and right now wife/girlfriend of a business tycoon, son of a business tycoon or a business tycoon. Being an average Indian I don’t fall under any of the categories reserved to own an IPL team and hence, since I am not eligible for my dream job, I have decided to hold on to my current job.

It is not that I have given up hope of ever having my dream job. Steve Jobs also said, “If you haven't found the job you love yet then keep looking. Don't settle.” I am doing the same. I am waiting for the day on which a real fundoo IPL game will be available on X-box.  This way I will not only be able to own the whole IPL but also play an IPL tournament every night without being bothered by Pawar, Modi or the mess they have created.

To sum up

I don’t want my dream job. I don’t want to work in my dreams.
