Not many of them know this side of me, I usually don't whine, have always wanted to be like a duck, like how it doesn't show it's struggle under water, above! It looks calm and cool.
I've been quite successful in being the happy me! but guess what am bloody human, I have my downs, and I want to spit it out rather than bottling it up coz it's a mental condition unlike the duck's.
I went for this interview and I badly needed that job!! BADLY! I was told it will have question on business maths, probablity and... something else which I don't even want to remember. I "kinda" prepared! I have this thing about an interview day, I like to be uber-organized, so I was. I reached the venue exactly at the time I was told..
Interview started, a nice lady said something (I didn't pay attention) and gave me the question paper, had 90 mins to finish. I open the paper, I saw stars. It was looking like a class 12 math question paper, I went nuts! ( I scored 41% in maths in class 10 and went on to study hospitality management only because it did not have Mathematics), in the mean time another set of people joined in and the lady gave the same instructions and I could hear so clearly now, don't write on the question paper and I was like sh^&!
I finished in 95 mins, I wasn't even sure if I got even a single answer right but I did something... well actually a lot of things. I quietly asked the lady, "would you be really upset if I wrote on the question paper?" Response, "not at all". At last some relief! She was the perfect HR material!
Then lady asked me to wait at the lounge. I knew I wouldn't get thru!! I so knew, but I waited for the girl to inform me "officially" and she did.
I walked out smiling but I was fuming inside, angry about myself. I wish I studied maths when it was my time to study... back in the days! I never did, now I regret not doing that.. I really do! I always wanted to work for them, I don't know if I will. but I WANT TO!
Then I met a friend for coffee, she is one of those few people I love to confess everythin to.. had a nice chat with her, we spoke for 2 hours, about movies, her life, my life, she called me a chauvinist and I got oh-so-offended but then at the end I felt a lot better after spending time with her..Glad I have such friends...
I later said to myself the same dialogue I tell all my friends when they are going thru a rough patch in life.. "Tough times don't last, Tough people do"
Life's tough, not impossible; not for me!

I ve been thro the most arrogant Guys saying #$%@$% when you are pathetically in need of certain things... So Chill MAADI..
hey All the best fa your nex job...!!!
Chill maadi ah? thambi, namma thai mozhi thamizh.. hehehe..
I was a lil down last evenin, not anymore. Life's exciting to me as it always was and the failure; it's a super learning, for once I felt like listening to Selvi madam, Rajesh sir, Grace madam and Vasanthini madam. I regretted not listening to them.. :)
and the HR, like I said was perfect! what PROFESSIONALISM! I've seen a lot of arrogant HRs myself which is why I mentioned about her in the first place. There are some people who change the way we look at certain things and that's exactly what she did! :)
thanks macha for writing it!
Well ... i remember a time i wanted to work in an organization badly., but dint get through. Then i was told by a wise man ... to aim for a job profile/career that i want the most and work towards it ... a step at a time ... and not limit my ambitions to just a job at a great organization. I now find myself so much better than others who chose their dream as being in a great org but not having a dream profile. i dont know if it is the same thing here ... but hope it helps.
It's not only the organization Pooja, it was also the role. I'm not someone who blindly falls for an organizational image unless it fits into my profile. Again, my admration for that company was so much high. I didn't research enough about the role. You're right.. in a way! :P
