The Raining Summer!!!

I’ve been editing this blog for a long time and waited for a happy ending.


It was May 13, the day I got freed from all the UG academic stuff and started to enjoy the life as it comes. I never took things seriously and lived the way as it is; do remember I don’t have job in hand or an ambition. But we friends make call after call and we do make conference calls for discussing the ways to get a job. All we need was to just keep ourselves occupied by these searches.


Days went, weeks ran and month has been wasted without having anything than my friends with me. As a dialogue from 3-idiots goes “you become sad when your friend has failed but you become sadder when the same left you behind and topped the class”. The latter feeling provided the spark for almost all of us. The real desperation for a job started there, it nearly took 45 days for the ignition. The real summer it was and the heat was literally on.


Cause of my over confidence I thought finding a job is not that difficult, but things did not unfold the way I thought. Still I had an intuition of employing myself somewhere. By then it was a rainy period in Chennai and even I experienced a shower of rain as I got a job in a small firm near Anna Nagar. I was quite happy because I can say that I’m employed than being idle. That company expected lot of input from the batch of 8 members where I was one of the 4 UGs. They were very clear about filtering the under performing guys. We were asked to work in an advanced tool. I couldn’t cope up with the PGs there but later I did to great extent. At the end of the training all the UGs were filtered and stipend was paid. That was my first failure and my first so called salary. To my fate both the rainy period in Chennai and in my life was a short one.


SMS, Ah it was one short thing which caused the big damage. The most common question”Wat yo dng?” has only one answer “Vetti than(IDLE)” . I know my friends care me a lot, as I couldn’t show the successful result I thought I’m not worth their care. As there is an Invisible option in the status of IMs I changed my life status to that. Never replied to messages, never attended the calls. I pretended to my brothers that I carry my mobile but never did I. Even I tonsured my head to avoid seeing my friends. The sun was at my overhead.


My desperation started to build when my brothers’ marriage was on the row. I want to invite my friends in person but couldn’t go to their home cause of joblessness. I found myself ashamed at that. I urged myself and pushed hard at me at every trial. I started from the basics went on and on. This time I marked a deadline as a week before the betrothal as I don’t want to put my head down at the big function. For someone sake I got so near of having one yet it was far. The marriage went on well but not for me.


One of my friends said “For a Success you need a manly effort and lady luck together”. I had the manly effort obviously the lady luck hesitated to smile for 15 occasions. Almost it was 15 interviews before my first notable success in SEP 19th in TCS which I appeared twice earlier. I wished to be there. Thereafter it was Cognizant, in which I’m working now.

Finally summer ended in a Rainy season.
