Getting a Summer Project
Here I again come back to a high from a low within a few days.. got a summer project .. the centre of my troubles.. It happens to be in Retail segment in RPG and is based out of Kolkata. Again I come out of the pressures very soon after identifying a Low. Mann this cycle is reinforcing itself very strongly!
At the same time, this is also a very good example of how I perform average or above average at times. I had been working on getting some absolutely great projects in niche areas for a very long time. They are still uncertain.. may or may not work out.. For them, I had let some good opportunities go. And today, I bend to pressures again and accept an average or slightly above average solution.. this I will know after having done it anyways. But this is how it happens.
One ends up doing something very different from what one had set out to do, if s/he is willing to bend to any pressure.
You might be interested in my interview as well. It was all very funny. The schedule of the interviewer had got changed but for some reason, he could not contact me to prepone the interview. One evening I call him up and he says that he is already in Mumbai and going to fly out the very next day. Arranging a proper interview would be difficult. He also indicated that interview could happen late night on the very same day if the need be. Fortunately, he chose next morning .. a Sunday morning. Also, fortunately, his home is hardly 3km from my hostel and he proposes to meet in a nearby location.
Sunday morning, I am sitting before him in Mocha, a coffee lounge in Hiranandani, which had just opened up for breakfast. I am fully dressed in formals from top to bottom and he is in a T-shirt and thank God jeans and not shorts, smoking freely. I had a really bad cough and my focus was to speak minimum so that cough does not completely take over. So, in that about 45mins interview, he speaks for about 25 mins, I speak for about 5 mins and there is a silence for rest of the time. I felt awkward at times, when I saw that confused look on his face when I had failed to put my point through, in the number of words I had chosen. However, good of him that he gave due consideration to my bad throat and did not force me to speak more. I was in such a bad shape that I did not even bid him Goodbye verbally. He spoke and I didn't. Ye bhi karna padta hai. A funny experience all in all.
All said and done, I have a good Summer Project in hand..!! Time to rejoice!
At least say Congrats.. u bugger!!
