It was the rainy season in july .
And as usual campus time , companies came knocking at college asking the
students "Where do u want to go today" ,Microsoft didn't visited our
college but all other familiar names turned up.
Every day was like a
celebration people running in the rain & also from the congratulations
bumps & hits from their buddies. But for me there was an other side of
the story ,for me it was like a riddle because after clearing almost half
a dozen aptitude tests , i was not able to figure out why i was turned
down by the software companies ,as i considered myself quite interested in
software ,and also desired a software job more than my collegues who were
interested in doing PG in management (IIM aspirants) and also PG in higher
studies (GRE aspirants),i was away from both the above aspiration and
considered myself more into software. It was like a matrix in which i just
couldn't find the exit . It was such a pain to me that i tried to justify
my fitness for the job ,my ego had been shrinking to its Nadir and
selfconfidence turning more into selfevaluation ,selfjustification &
selfconsolement.
It was just on the believe in the god which kept me
going.Then one day , the giant blue company came to visit our campus. I
cleared my aptitude and approached the interviewing room for yet another
time. I gave my interview with all the best i could do , as I did earlier,
it was so much like the other days , i was so used to the routine that i
thought that after the annnouncement of result i will walk again for yet
another time deep in thought process of selfevaluation &
selfconsolement. But as the result were announced my shrinken ego had
risen to its size and stood upright like a big rock, I had been selected
alongwith 10 other colleagues. It was so good to hear "Welcome to the IBM
team" by the spokeswoman, I thought for a moment that it was a dream and
tried to woke up, but my colleagues realised me that it was real. It was
truly a magnificent moment in my life which redeemed my ego,my
selfconfidence & my self belief ,a truly magical moment which cannot
be defined by words ,you have to feel it to believe it.
