Po$T PL@CEMENT El@t!ON

12TH December
Finally the day is here when I can feel the feeling of being EMPLOYED… as I promised to post one soon after my PPT Blog..so here I go….
yeah as rightly said patience pays…yes it does..still cant believe that I got an option to choose a company when people are actually waiting for one. Lets take it one by one…..Yesterday 11th December was the day when at 12:05 to be precise I got a call from one of my batchmates that The Results are about to come for the Company called Mphasis whose process was on Wednesday and result was suppose to come on Friday(48 hours according to them), but as it is said ‘all good things take some time’…and so it took ample time…. so much so..that those three days I was not able to sleep..was lost in my own thoughts with a scary feeling of returning to square one….. the result came out on Tuesday…n I stood for good half an hour outside the faculty’s cabin along wid others..and only one thought coming in my mind..now what????

Was actually blank…how will I take it….n then finally the mail opened..thnk God…. Our Net connection works so well with the urgency of work and works when required ( ask us) I got to know that out of 14 students, 12 have been selected…n as always I was not very sure (though I wanted to be) and for the first time I realized that u see what u want to c… as I was skeptical I was not able to find my name in the list and that feeling was killing I swear…..my name was at 11th number and u need to scroll it down in order to c….ufffffffffff that was the time when I got back into my senses…n eventually could take it as being selected..msgd Jigyasa, Mr Gemini n Thompson..n called DAD…..n that voice is still with me :) He sounded so satisfied..ke kept quiet for few seconds…n said..Thank You Beta…I had tears in my Eyes..n I knw Pop’s was also on the same side jes not being so expressive..then I called MOM…oh my goshhhhh…she actually jumped and shouted like any other kid….they were more than tensed…I shared each n every feeling of mine wid them…n that too every single day. I have a Blessed relationship wid them n Touchwood for that…That is what I treasure the most in my life….then what…called Kriti, chachu, chuha, rasgulla, swati di, ankur and the list continues…Here, all my frenz were having class :( , wanted them to come asap coz I myself still haven’t reacted at all :(

I was roaming here n there, talking over phone..jigyasa was calling me continuosly but me already over phone then I called n she on second call…nothing happening..then I saw her running down in search of me…Ahhh we finally met… hugged each other :) ..….then uncle (jigyasa’s dad) called n talked to me…he said such encouraging words..n blessed me that I could not control n tears finally rolled down my cheeks……jigyasa n me were waiting for the other two to come…waiting for their so called work to finish..some miscommunication…reactions…..mood offs…crying shying n then all set….sometimes things jes do not happen at the rite time but at least ends rightly….then what I went back to my room n guess what??? What should be my first action plan….?????? Yeahhhhhh tickets to Homiwood…Ajmer…got them booked ....by 4…n here comes the second confirmation…..4:17 to be precise..i got a call 4m Major chand…that I made it to Research International too, whose process was on Friday…n I was re-interviewed by them on 10th night… N hey here I was with two best offers..One in IT company n one in Global Research firm… called back Mom n dad…. the feeling was overwhelming..n that forced me to change my status msg in Gtalk that said…” One in hand is better than two in Bush!!! Naahhhh Two is Awesome…Finally Placed n placed at the right place!!! “.

Today when I look back..all those days of tension, trauma, negativity, thinking what went wrong comes as a flash in front of me..and reflects that..its not YOU..its Ur Day that makes the difference. I prepared alike for every company I sat for…was being very selective, was giving my best but nothing was happening the way I wanted to…n here comes the day..when the sun is smiling at me…when I can say that I Rock!!!! N yes I have Done it…feeling Relaxed!!!!! Still that feeling is taking time to sink in….n hey hey Thanks to all my frenz who’ve been so tolerant wid my mood swings and have supported me…n sorry for the delay frenz…I knw u ppl haven’t celebrated yet…but now we will n can have a blast!!!!...New year is ahead…n no one is here to stop Us!!!! So way to go n rejoice…n what more can I ask for…I m going Home finally on 18th Dec… All is Well if it Ends Well….cheers

Will this Endurance Pay????

7th December

Today is the most imp day for me. I am anxiously waiting for the final result of Mphasis..n rite now sitting in seminar hall n waiting for TATA TECHNOLOGIES, most awaited company for which I did not go to my sis marriage and yet another company research international will be starting at 10:30
There are so many things going on in my mind…yesterday I was not feeling that gr8…cold n fever..was in my room the entire day…n by evening my headache was taking a step ahead….lying down helped but the continuous thought process did not….n I could not help…
On Wednesday I appeared for MPHASIS-EDS company with loads of doubts in my mind..about the company, about the package..profile was good enough..no doubt…but was skeptical about the company n the package….cant explain why I was so much concerned for package…I know I don’t have to repay a loan..but I have a very imp thing to take into hands after my job..and that is my priority…neways…in all that hap-hop…I submitted my resume..n then talked to Swati di about the company..she assured me of the profile as well as the company..so I was little bit more towards being serious for it..but still not that confident..finally I decided to give a good shot at GD and then later on negotiate during interview..not advisable I know..but that was the thing that helped me to move on…to be honest. The GD topic was vague…Passive Smoking is equally harmful;
I spoke, will give myself 6/10 as compared to my earlier performance and then got a call that I have cleared GD..interview went well and as soon as I reached room I got a call from one of the placement reps that I’ve been called by the HR lady of the company. Finally got the news that 99 percent have made it..but still some formalities remaining from their TL’s n that will take some time…lets c…I m actually finding myself in a very confused state..where to go how to choose..I guess time will have the answer for me…cant’t write in much detail abhi…these people can start anytime..but one thing for sure..I would luv..if I can make through both the companies today as well…I know bit greedy :) but I wanna be very sure for what I am Opting..lets c…I guess Research is not a bad option..this field is of my interest and I guess the package is also good….Goshhhhh…can’t I have a crystal ball in which I can c …what is in store for me…this patience is tough to keep…n is killing me…
Hey these people have started…I guess should show them some decency…n close my laptop…till then please pray that I get the best n I will keep u all posted…abhi tata
