So..after letting you people live happliy for about two months...i'm back again to haunt
you with more crazy thoughts, pathetic spellings and the weird things that happen so frequently with me. Infact, life had been unusualy normal(read bouring) off late so i had nothing to write about.
But as boogerworm said in the 1st post of her new blog...i'm also back on popular demand.
Yeah..i know it sounds strange..but there are some people...other that the Jhingalala Tribes of
western orrissa who seem to reading the stories of a tall..dark...(naah..not handsome) 23 yr old.
The last post dates back to the last week of october..and as far as i remember, this was the time
when i had got a call for a written test with infosys. So everything else took a back seat and i
was obssesed with this lady with this lady with the sir name 'Devi'. I would tihnk about her all
the time, even sleep with her photo near my pillow. No....it was not Sri Devi...not Vaishno Devi..
and with all due respect to Lalloo and his exploits with the Indian Railways, it wasn't Rabri Devi
either. Guys...i'm talking about Shakuntala Devi..the human computer. I think she has inspired
an entire generation of freshers like me who dream of getting a job in the biggest IT company in
India. For the information of my jhingalala friends...Shakuntala Devi has written many puzzle
books which help to the wrriten test at infy around. And the photo-near-my-pillow thing was her book which had her charming face at its back. But all the effort went down the drain as somehow manage to screw up my exam. May be devotion towards the great 'Devi' wasnt total...may be i should pack my bags and head towards western orrissa.
But..no worries..i'm sure i'll learn from this. Next time i plan to put up her poster in my room.
That should surely get me through.
Along with infy, there was Accenture..another dream company. Well, i did manage to clear the written(haan..main apni taareef kar raha hoon!!)..but the test was the least of my problems as the next round was a GD. And with my limited(ok ok...poor) communication skills, the two letters G and D put together looked even more menacing. This was where when one memebers of our gang, (The Freaky Four as we like to call ourselves) hemant suggested me something...
Here are the excerpts from out conversation:
Me(really worried) : yaar hemant..have a GD..kya karoon..any ideas??
Hemant(sounding like einstien) : yeah buddy...u have come to the right person..i have just
the right thing for you.
I don't know whether its the name The Freaky Four...but i just had the feeling that he was upto sometihng outrageous this time
Me(really worried and confused now) : what exactly is on your mind??
Hemant(sounding like einstien + newton) : Vodka!!...the cure for everything. Have a couple of
shots of the sacred drink in the morning..and you'll do just fine.
Me(not knowing what to say) : umm..well...don't know..not sure
Hemant : Try it out yaar..kya pata kaam kar jaaye.
Well, ive been a great fan of the novel Five Point Someone(which is where this idea had come from) but never thought i would done something as insane as this. But they say...jab seedhi ungli se ghee na nikle...to ungli tedhi karni padhti hai. So, i gathered some courage and decided
to bend my fingure a little this time. Buying vodka turned out to be lot harder than i had imagined but lets not get into all that. I carefully measured the amount which hemant-aka-einstien had told me and got "drunk" at 9 in the morning.
I had thought that i would be feeling funny and would see evertihng revovling...thankfully it didnt. But once in a while, i did get scared thinking that when the GD would start, i might jump on the desk and yell..basanti....in kutton ke aagae mat naachna.
Nothing of that sort happened.Although,I didn clear the GD but surprizing was speaking quite
well..may be i should try this more often.
So the last few weeks hadn't been the best and i still don't have job which i could be proud of
But again...no worries...our friend Mr Edison had failed 2000 times before inventing the light
bulb. And despite the failures, i've been improving, so..there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Infact, not just a ray of light, but Sunshine....yeah...i met "her" a few days back. One magical
momment which washed away all the disappointments.
And how can i forget the person who has been as precious as the last chocolate sundae in a
burning desert. Yes i'm talking about Einstien, Newton and ofcourse Hitch..all combined into
one...Hemant. He has been my source of strength in these tough times and himself has taken
a lot of crap over the past year. But now that he is going to be cool manager..and I'm really happy for him. C'mon buddy...become the president of some big company soon and then hire me as your CEO.
You are my last hope...warna...Jhingalala boys....here i come
