Lucky me!!!
Hey,things are doing pretty good(touchwood) ....I am feeling lucky! Yups I am talking about the last week.Well it all began with a confusion as always but finally ended well.Monday was the first and the last day to fill the forms for summer internship at Goldman Sachs, world's leading investment banking firm,for the technical wing...called immediately for a turmoil in my mind ...Sitting on the fence is not my favourite pastime but that is what I am left with when I am supposed to make any important decision.So after consulting everyone whom I could,I decided to leave it to chance and finally filled up the form at the last moment, still not sure whether I was actually interested in it.
Somehow the week went,had a lot many things to do but I dont remember them now...So finally came the time to decide.It was thursday and we were supposed to have a presentation and possibly an interview on the next day.So I was suppposed to brushup my knowledge in cpp ...Alas!only if I could...ooooooo the power went out and I don't remember when I fell asleep...Oh no!When I got up it was 7 in the morning,very very late to prepare anything.So quickly geared up my lost mind and strength to move on and finally decide, whether I would be trying in earnest or not...the presentation was impressive,made me dream big of going to Bangalore and cleared all my doubts and worries.Ah! that really left me relieved(for those of you who are puzzled,basically I am an insane person,highly confused most of the times) In the evening, I was shortlisted for the GD,another terror in a name.It was really tough making up my mind that I had to speak in any case,because remaining silent and dumb would really kill me dead on the spot.So decided to take the plunge and speak all I could,and to my surprise I did speak some sense...well it was a healthy discussion,thanks to all the other members! and then I was selected for interview with 5 more...This made me pretty confident but I was still a bit nervous and apprehensive...but friends around me made it quite encouraging and supported very well...a word of thanks is due to each one of them(so people, be happy with the thanks and forget the treat :D)...finally I faced my first professional interview in life...a long one but an experience worth remembering...Everything went perfect...starting from the first question
'are you nervous' and the answers thereafter
'a litle bit,sir '
'why only little,afterall we are going to take a tough interview,haven't u heard that'
'sir, I will try my best...what else'.
I was gradually tasting confidence and excitement in the interview process and finally....hmm... success!! yahoo,it was nothing big...just a training but it gave me a contentment,the satisfaction of clearing my first professional interview...a feeling that I made it.As my fortune said it on saturday
The day is full of potential, but it's hard to tell which way it will go until it's almost over. Your quick wit serves you well when it comes to getting things organized.
And so it all fell into place,right from the start till the end when megha and I were selected, another source of joy to me...this years summer we wished we were together..and hopefully if all goes well as it has been till now ,we will be...atlast I am obliged to all my dear friends who stood beside me,who relieved me of my worries and showed me the way to tackle it in a cool way and with presence of mind...At least I improved,and I have God to thank for that....and for everything else too!
And again returning to my horoscopes(this episode has further strengthened my belief in them)...for today it is
But you've got a lot going on right now, and you'll have more success if you focus on that.
the sessionals are knocking at the door,so i guess its better I return to work soon!

Its always a joy to see great things happening to 'great' people . And dont mistake it for your fortune , its just the timely reward of all the effort you have put in over ..(well .. i dont rele know since when u have been tht hard-working :) )
Oh !! and seems its rele a nice time for you .. "having made it into my 'esteemed' blog" ;)

CONGRATULATIONS once again :)
Do i need to tell u, u deserved it?
Oh yes... but i am not going to forget the treat :D
Best of Luck for the upcoming tests :)
Hi Shubhra !!!!!!!
CONGRATS !! AGAIN !!
It was pleasing to go through the vicarious feel of your interview, in which finally you were successful :)
Hey Luck and God's blessings are there, but so are your genuine efforts ! I must say here that it was your sincerity n talent (I believe) which was rewarded so any one readin your blog should NOT draw any inferences as per the sole importance of fortune in this feat.
First professional interview.. its really good to face one so soon, I am sure you realise what expectations you've to live upto, and I know that you definitely will!
God Bless You
prep. well for next tests :-)
Congratulation!
See ya soon...in person.
I actually witnessed those days' fuss & u jotted them down in perfect words.Something u will surely like to go thru again & again in future...and take pride in urself abt this success too...although like others, even i believe ur talent and sincerity have started paying u pretty soon, and luck will always get its share of credit!
All the best.
Enjoy with Megha this time in Banglore(and work too:-)..)...but dear don't forget my TREATS( 3+ NOW..;-))
Good Bye!!
@romram
Thanx Udit!Need not have deleted the comment.
@shaunak
Thanx Shaunak!Even I dont know since when I have been hardworking(if at all :D).Well I would say
What a time to have periodicals!!
(n not 'birthday' coz I think that is one thing which shouldnt be thought of having at some other time)
@anki n priya
Thanx again...will try not forgetting your treats, but my memory often decieves me:D
@kaps
Thanx bhaiya for your wishes and for your confidence in me that I will live up to the expectations...I will definitely try.
@spy
Thanx!So have you finally gathered up the courage?
It was motivation which I lacked, never courage.
What beacons is the eternal freedom from the unimaginativeness...
