Starting from my previous post , as we were enjoying the comfort of the seats given by the local representatives of the people , we had a thought " WHY NOT BPO ? "..I always had a thought of getting into development only but the recession pushed me to think so...
We started off with the conversation whether to go to the BPO named after some modification to a pet famed for its astrological power (May be due to numerology ..(lol) just kidding... ) ..I was in dilemma , gym boy said OK , as usual ayya was tired so he went for a water bottle which we used quench all our thirst ...
Our INFO as usual said " Dey feeling sleepy , We can go another day " (i really wondered what does this boy have at home...Is he really feeling sleepy or is he hiding any stealthy secret from us..)..Myself and gym boy asked it to him ..he replied " dey really sleepy da" ...alas we somehow decided to go after missing a good number of buses to the are where poker boy lived ....
There came a bus we in a huzzle buzzle got into the bus ...Myself , gym boy and info got through the back door ,,ayya went in through the front door ...Thank God gym asked the conductor or the stop he said get down wrong bus ..we got down in a hurry shouting for ayya ....he came down smiling and saying " Nalla vela ...nan matum thaniya comedy piece airupen "....
The problem was with the bus which mentioned one route in front and at the back it had dropped a different route ..Only our MTC people can confuse people so shrewdly (Had a lot of experience [:(] when i wait for hours for a bus and getting into it they ll change it to a cut service ... my anger goes to peak ....)
Alas there came a bus we got into it ...the driver had a commotion with a two wheeler where the biker (not as like in those bike shows ..ha ha) had so much guts he stopped before a big bus and started shouting ....
We know our people , everyone inside the bus started moving towards the driver ..our gym tried i said " Dey prachna irunthathan da nee ponum ..these are small things they ll manage " ...he smiled and stopped...i know people ll be curious .....but never knew they are so curious , a man who came from behind me , really pushed me aside .Without even noticing he had pushed me, he went to enjoy the verbal war ...
Bus started (there were even some good girls to watch on..though i was not particularly interested in them , i had a glance to see them when i was looking for the stop...... lol..hey don laugh its true ppl not a story .)..we went on talking about the interview ( its interview season people [:)]...its the hot topic..)..there we reached ,our gym boy's restaurant...
His dad came and greeted us ..he is really nice person he talks to me well..we entered to give a small retreat for our great appetite ..We were given the great briyanis and to really mention the lolipop wow it was wonderful ...So we finished a great lunch ...Do u have some time and a great appetite for non-veg and also money (the prices are really nominal and more in quantity )do stop at the restaurant named "ARASAN"
Wat next ...its the the job search in the noon ...Uh i sobbed (but without tears and sound )to myself "how after a great meal instead of sleeping under 16 degree ..should i roam in the hot sun .....but have to" ..I decided to update my resume ..(the reason is that in the morning walk in i was asked why didnt you update your resume???? )..so i repeat
KEEP YOUR RESUME UPDATED
We went into a net center ..even my friends needed to take photocopies of resume...when asked for a system they asked to enter address phone number etc ..( good rule by Govt to trace people but ll it be effective???? lets wait and see)..i don wanna mention mine there next to me was standing the savior INFO i put his name and asked for his number he said "adapavi " but being so good he gave his number ...(though he is considered Mr.Perfect by our coll ppl ....People to you all i would like to say " ONLY WE KNOW HIM FULLY " (don worry da i wont let it out ha ha)) ..
I went in edited my resume ...got the soft copy from gym copied our project abstract (Thanks da)...then went in for printout gave the money ..we were likely to start aya was siting even not hearing that we were calling him ( he was busy overlooking the conversation between the shop owner and a customer )..
We started ..Thank God uncle got his bike and one from his friend ...myself and our biker( aya ..as usual he was sitting behind) started off in XCD and uncle gym and info in another bike....We went for companies ...here started my bitter experience [:(]
First ..i don't remember the name of the company( to put it correctly i can't get the name may be its something in Chinese or some other Lang)...i opened the big gate to see cylinders of oxygen ..i was shocked , seeing it closed the door ..then there was a security ...on inquiring the soft company was in first floor ...with a big sigh of relief we started to the first floor ( WE ENGINEERS FINISHED IN THE UNLUCKY 2009 RECESSION )..seeing wall hangings of NASA .. saying to ourselves if only HI-FI boy would have been here ..he would have started crying seeing the photos....
It had an automated door we pressed the bell it was opened from the cabin ten foot from inside by the press of a button there (thanks to the technology ..but may be its making us soo lazy adding our extra pounds [:(] )..we entered ..no vacancy but to console us he asked for our resume ..we gave as usual keeping INFO's first (as we do in coll for assignment submission )...we came back ...
Second ..started then there came a company whose infrastucture i was amazed (actually the architecture not inside because u ll know why bot inside in the coming lines)...Its named after the "the control center of cell or the heart of the cell " ...we with a hesitation entered (because the working people ,who were releasing their stress using the same technique of "fire at one end and a fool at the other end " , they really saw us like aliens )...there came a voice " Ena pa " from security ..we not even started "job" , he said " athelam ila pa ..poitu vanka " (hope now u understood why i was not able to see the infra [:P])...OMG what to say my Engg degree.....
Third we came to the BPO i mentioned above which we had actually planned but as uncle knew many company we went to other places also ...then we saw a good number of people under the red cloth with a name "JOB FAIR " ...( "Is it really Fair ?" you ll know why i ask this question soon..)..same place security ..on seeing us he asked gym boy where is ur shoes ...next he asked " Ena pa padichirukeenka" ...we said raising our chest with a pride B.E ..
The next answer was " BE klam vela ilapa ponka ponka "....i felt like like like ( Don how to express)..i don wanna give up (because after doing so many assignments "5 assignment per paper 6 paper per sem 8 sem nearly 240 + 20 (for first year 4 extra paper) + 5 for (the EECS we had 10 units) ====== 265 assignments and a great number of test exams" ..i wont give up noooooooo..) ..i asked him who the people where he said they are degree candidates and said we take only degree (thinking to myself has BE lost the status of being considered a degree )....i saib " BE yum degree thana " [:P]....he answered " Apdi ila pa ...BSc , BCom , BCA , BBA ...laike that" ....
With a heavy heart we regretted ourselves for being 2009 pass outs and holding a BE degree at the present situation we started back.....we went through some number of small companies uncle knew where without spoiling our hope they accepted our resume saying " we ll call u wen we need intake "....
Huff everything got over ...we returned to the restaurant ..Uncle always used to take me to kitchen to look how things were being made ..we had a good insight of really a nice restaurant ...(Both veg and non-veg ) ...then we talked about people who became great people after having lots of failure and insults ...we made up ourselves saying one day we ll also get into a good position ....
Again we started back to home really tired to the core ...got into bus having talks and gossips of info's girl friends and gym's..it was time to alight in a place to take buses in different directions to home ..we said bye and started off to home...
Without being able to control my thirst a bought a minute main pulpy orange which i like had the full bottle in a sip , got my bus ..reached home i slept for nearly two hours because of the tiredness......That day where i really regretted for my degree also turned me into an experience and also made me stringer in heart to never give up...
As vivekanandha ( one of my fav ) said " Arise , Awake ...And stop not till the goal is reached " .....Keep going ..take insults as experience never give up ...
Catch u in my next post ...signing off for now....
