There are some days which you don’t forget ever in your life. You know, such as your first kiss, wedding day, first child, first alcohol and FIRST JOB.!!!!
The day was 26th January 2011. For any other Indian, it was one of the boring Republic Days (erm, may be not so boring if you are part of the parade) as the excitement of patriotism has died down a lot. But for the CIEMiams who have appeared or going to appear for the Mahindra campus drive. As for myself, all those aptitude and interviews ended on day 1 itself, 24th Jan and all I was doing is waiting and waiting…. Waitinggggggg. I lost my sleep and as well my appetite. Srij kept on telling this wait is the best part, frankly, I still think it wasn’t. All I could think like “oh, the guy didn’t ask me many questions, may be he planned to eliminate me” or “oh, so many people did better than me, I have no chance, whatsoever”. Before that, after technical round, I was like “noway, she didn’t ask me anything much!! I am a goner!! She doesn’t like me!!”. And after the aptitude test I went into depression as I answered too few questions and went to stand in the balcony alone as I couldn’t bear to face people. And after each round, each time my name was announced, my heart leaped though there weren’t feelings of joy, it was filled with relief.
On the afternoon of 25th jan I heard that people who were made to sign a certain declaration in the HR round are supposed to be already chosen. I could breathe easy for sometime, but not for long though, in the evening I came to know, too many went to the HR round and they are going to eliminate. Man, that was the night. The painful, torturing night! Next day I started getting numb, by that time, I have made myself convinced, even if I don’t get its ok, I will get next time, its no big deal. So, around the time where the results were to be announced, I didn’t go to college. And suddenly Shama texts me saying results are out and she has gotten in. I kept calling and texting people frantically and finally after being confirmed by Surajit, Srija and Shubha I was filled with a overwhelming sense of relief. I didn’t fill overwhelming joy, just a soothing feeling calmed the storm which was going on in the mind. Then phone calls kept on pouring in, three phones and numerous congratulations. That time it felt good!! Really really good! My grandma even made me promise I am gonna buy her gold jewellery when I get salary!! The congratulions are still going on though, it feels so good to see everyone happy for me. Never felt so important and loved in my life, I suppose. Sugoi desu ne? ^_^
