22nd September'11- It was a big day for all of us as we all were eagerly waiting to get placed....and here it was. We had our campus interview today. I got up early..,daniel was the 1st one to bang the door, then came harsha and abdul. Damn..! harsha didn't complete his resume yet...asked me to get it from his mail & make few corrections to it, and guess where he went next???........to buy PEN..lol. I gave the final touch to his, pranav's and finally my resume. then made printouts, went for polishing shoe, but shucks, the cobbler wasn't there. After waiting for few more min. I went to the nearby hotel, where they all were having breakfast..i thought of skipping it...,we all sipped juice later while polishing shoes ourselves..thanks to harsha who had brought the much needed--liquid shoe polish. ohh yes, abdul did put on his new shoes today. i envy him;) We left for college. As we entered the vaughn block, we came to know that they were going to be late. Anup sir, Sharma sir and rajib sir were giving necessary last minute details and responding to sudden humongous number of questions from students...sir, what is...? sir, shall we shake hands at the beginning?,etc.,so very funny..lmao.
Finally they arrived...there were three guys from AI-SATS (Air India-Singapore airport terminal services), bangalore. We were sent to our classroom. Now there was a form filling procedure where we had to give our details and resume to be attached,also with a passport size photograph. Pranab cried--where is my resume? we went to a standstill...his face turned..ummm(din't notice the color :p) with rage. i checked every where twice, thrice, but it wasn't there..someone stole my form in the whole process, adding more tension. meanwhile, milan went outside and managed to get the printouts of pranab's resume. somehow i was able to fill my form at the last moment, submitted, and started chatting. The interviewers entered the room. Anup sir gave an apparently brief introduction about each one. There was a Singaporean, whose english was incomprehensible..must be because i was sitting at the last bench, also adding to his accent.
It was a roll number basis entry to the int. room. I was obviously nervous and repeating the sentences that i had prepared last night for "ABOUT YOURSELF", which was a known question to all. Everything was going quite well..they asked- where did u stay? to this, i gave a false reply (whatever name came to my mind at that time) coz i wasn't able to recall the place where i stayed at bangalore...but they just screwed me up at the last question. Basically, it was my fault..coz i had said that i was interested in cargo. They asked-why? there was a series of questions on it for the next few min. I somehow managed to answer it. The moment they said- you can leave, was bittersweet. I was happy to leave but sad coz i know i din't give my best.
It went well with milan and abdul. Milan was upset coz they didn't ask him what is his city of preference. After waiting till 6pm, they (interviewers) suddenly came out and announced that it was over, they have to leave to catch their flight. we were shocked to hear that..bcoz approx. 15 students were still not interviewed. The interview for those students were to be taken at the hyderabad airport. There was a bustle in the air as soon as they left.
We chatted for few more hours in our group. ohh, i didn't mention about our group, right? It consists of me , milan, abdul (MAK, as we call) then daniel and ravikiran. well, we have developed a beautiful bond of friendship during these 3 1/2 years in college.
I left for home for the dussehra holidays after few day...can't believe it was all over:)
