Whew! Aal Izz Well... That ENDS Well!

Finally I got something big to type a post about. Yes, yes... I finally landed a job (and not in a soup)! The weirdest part is, till last Saturday I had no inkling that I will get a job by Wednesday. :D Funny, eh?

On Saturday, people suddenly started talking about Tech Mahindra campus drive on Monday. That was like oh my gosh, how am I gonna get time for that?! Bigger issue was me and some of my friends were to go for Syntel pool campusing at Heritage Institute of Technology, that also on Sunday and Monday! We had decided that if Tech Mahindra comes on Monday we are going to ditch Syntel. :| Hence, off we went to Heritage and hell lot of other stuff happened. Mostly it was bad for me. I got ousted in GD. In GD! Of all things! Christ! x-( I was mad at myself! I was in a lousy mood till I saw Solanki again. :(

When I got home, all I had on my mind was Tech Mahindra. By then the news was confirmed that its coming for a campus drive the next day. And its online test is humongous! Its 70 aptitude questions in 40 minutes and 100 English questions in another 40 minutes (though English can be finished in much less than that, still it doesn't help 'cause there's no carrying forward of time)! I was freaked. Totally. :'(

Anyway, I gathered my guts and went headlong into the preparation with whatever time I had. Practiced online test from a site and studied my subjects a little. Finally, Monday arrived. What I was afraid of didn't happen (I got through online test) but something else did. Had a little fiasco when my computer suddenly went poof! But I could give the test after that when it restarted. :) One hurdle crossed. After that, technical interview. On the same day... :| *sighs* Didn't want to look at the books. They made me nervous. Plus I was ill. Imagine my state ...the interviewer (nice fellow) asked me my last semester subjects and my mind went blank. Couldn't tell him more than two! :'( But I somehow didn't freak out then and there and I guess that got me through (answered the rest of the questions properly)... Phew!

Last hurdle... HR. That was a lot easier. Firstly, it was about myself. Secondly, I had already faced one interview so I was not that nervous. I guess my performance was pretty assertive. :) But we all went into panic mode when we got to hear that they are gonna screen people after HR. They didn't give us the results on Tuesday night. We waited, and waited, and waited till around 3 pm today... I couldn't take it anymore. I was just getting ready to leave for college when a friend called me up and told me "You are in!" I couldn't rest easy till I had verified it from 2 other people... and then I went Yay! :D

And the best part? All four of us (me, Sola, Shubha and Mona) bagged it! :D Last but not the least, the real credit goes to my parents who made me what I really am today... I wouldn't have got through otherwise... Love them! :)

Till the next time I write... See you all! :D

What If ... ?

Weird situation.

I guess that's why people tend to get caught up with what-ifs. Just one tiny choice can make a big difference later on. Though I don't think its good idea to get too wrapped up in that. I wouldn't want to forget reality and keep my imagination loop running. Because lets face it. If you are in a difficult situation, just thinking about it won't get you anywhere. Acting according to the circumstances might.

I might just try and act. That's the best I can do.

You

Whenever my hand is held in yours,

I feel so good, so safe, so warm,

Whenever your eyes are locked on mine,

They make me feel so sure, they charm.

Whenever you talk of things you feel,

The words make me smile, reach for you,

In every little thing you do for me,

I see your love, so deep and true.

The little mistakes that you make at times,

When you apologize for them, I see,

More than your sweet voice, my love,

Your eyes tell my heart... "Sorry"...

You came into my life when I

Was shattered, beyond myself with pain,

You made me believe in love once more,

Gave me a reason to smile again.

2011 Arrived Before Me

Well, I know I should have been regular on my blog and all but like everybody else (bothered enough) in college I'm busy with final year stuff. And more importantly I couldn't come up with something substantial enough to post. No sketches, no poems, nothing... *sighs* A huge problem is looming over our heads and a solution is not in sight yet. Great start to 2011. Hey, don't think I'm going into depression. It's just that this situation is bad. Other than that I guess life is pretty good. :) I mean, I have had a great 2010 and look forward to a better 2011. And yeah, I'm wondering what will be my GPA this time ... :| I don't want it to decrease! *bites nails*

Anyway, to make things better, I need to study. And to study, I should be cutting this post short. So, adios till next time... And a Happy New Year 2011 to all... :)
