D frst job interview of my lyf...

2 many things going on in my head....n d biggest confusion being...

Finance or Marketing....

till date im not sure wat i am gonna opt for as my specialisation in d 2nd yr...i feel i wnt knw ths till d moment i fill d form...ppl around me have already confused me wid all d mixed opinions n now d voices in my head r fighting...so confussseeedddd....never been ths confused for nythng in my life till date...donnnooo wat to do...!?!?!?!?

but all of a sudden i decided to give my name for a marketing profile 4 my summers...i thought d specialisation cn b decided later....atleast i can give it a shot n c where i stand...where?????
i always thought when i go 4 a job interview...i wld try n dress up d best...tip-top...formal clothes...formal shoes...neatly tied hair...confident wid ofcourse d smile...it wrks wonders...:D who knew smthng like ths wld happen....

finally d day had come...d day i had been waiting for years almost 22 :PMY FIRST JOB INTERVIEW *applause*....i had never imagined it wld turn out something like this...
4-3-10 d frst job interview of my life....d day had arrived...

got up early...had to wash my hair...wch takes almost half n hr...n was very xcited as i was gonna wear my new formal shirt....n i just love d formal look...everythng was set except....my formal shoes had torn n as ths interview was nt planned...dnt buy a new 1...instead my dear friends radhika n michelle wr ready to lend me theirs 4 a day...bahut bada discussion ho gaya tha woh jutoon ko lekar pehli raat train mein..n finally they decided tht bth of them will get it...n i will decide which1 suits me...so d shoes part was taken care of...

was ready by 715...all set...left home...as usual radhika was waiting for me at d signal...as soon as i met her she was like i frgt 2 get d shoes...was a bit disappointd n angry bt cldnt help....i thought michelle wld have gt it...n today nly michelle had to leave early...she wasnt travelling wid us...n i assumed tht she wld get d shoes...was all happy...no tensions...nthng...d main reason being i luvd my new shirt n donno y bt was in a goody goody mood...even rads complemented my shirt...so was all :D:D:D...

2 b on a safer side...i had smsd yogja 2 get her pair of formal shoes fr me...bt yogja is afterall yogja...cell bag mein n madam had left early as she was travelling fr d frst time in 1st class...frm byculla...tht was a funny incident...frst time i saw kashmir ki kali running 4 boarding d train...it was amazzzing..typical DDLJ scene...after all d laughn biz i saw her bag...n lookn at d bag i cld make out she has frgttn to carry it...i asked her if she gt d shoes..she was like wat shoes...i was like shit man..!!!

d last hope was michelle....even though i had no hopes left...i cld c my dream of dressing up all tip-top 4my frst interview crashing...v reachd collg...as soon as i enterd vishal was like...hey all set for d interview...looking grt from top to bottom..buttt...those chappals r nt looking gud...i was like wat d hell...wat am i supposed 2 do now...???? i felt like yelling....at tht moment i felt...i hope michelle dsnt ditch me...i asked mich...did u get d shoes...she gave me a big smile...n i was like gaya...barbaad....sab khatam....its better i dnt go fr d interview...cos lookn at my chappals they wld chuck me out..!

every1 had some or d other advice 2 give me...i was soo pissed...audrey startd "u shld have told me 2 get it...i wld have gt it...im d last person to leave fr collg..." nly 1 ting i told her..."i askd 3 ppl 2 gt it fr me...out of which 2 themselves volunteered n how d hell wld i knw all d 3 wld ditch me..."then she advised me 2 buy a new pair frm crawford...ths was actually a gud idea as i had 2 buy a new 1 sooner or later...so y nt 2day i thought...

time passed...n it was 1pm lunch time...suddenly satwik(suri) gt d permission to attend d interview (bt he regretted it later) n as he stays in malad it was easy 4 him to prepare himself 4 d interview in d short span of time v had...lookswise (2 look presentable--change into formals n shave..)get bk 2 his SURI look :D d plan f buying a new pair of shoes hd to b dropped...i had 2 take a printout of my CV..somethings never change....last moment wrk(so avantika typesss) i went 2 d comp lab 2 get d printout...frst i 4gt my password to login bt luckily sarang cme to my rescue n gave me his...

bt like d shoes thingy god had planned many more things for me..i blindly opened my CV n was getting ready to take a printout..bt luckily i realised i hadnt changed my specialisation to marketing..i changed it then n thr n took a printout..bt d wrst part was tht d placement cell had sent my CV which said tht my intended specialisation was Finance..Marketing ke job ke liye apply kiya hai n finance bhejdiya...i was so irritated...i thought chodo yarrr...jo hone hai hoga.....
suri, riddhi n myself v 3 left for malad...n decided 2 have lunch at suris place...suri was all excited as he was leaving frm collg at 1 for Malad...n i knew wat was cmng...i was mentally prepared 4 d torture wch i was sure suri wld do...Malad Ki Jai Ho..!!!! INORBIT...NORBIT...INORBIT...it was so damn hot...n v cldnt even find a cab...finally v gt 1...n as expected he startd as soon as v sat in d cab n left 4 Churchgate...!

suri was kind enough 2 cme wid us in d 2nd class dabba inspite of him havn a 1st class pass...n as v sat in d train v startd discussing abt malad...d advantages of travelln by 1st class...gossipn abt wierd creatures of our class ;D (suri u knw whom i am talkn abt) n then in d middle of all ths suri's fav katrina kaifcme...n all of a sudden ths guy shouted "woh kamasutra ka add hai na" i was like wat d hell is he talkn??? n y is he yelling...???? then v undrstd he was talkn abt Aamasutra d SLice add...OMG...it was hilarious....n all oldies wr sitting arund us...v laughed fr smetime n gossiped then riddhi slept 4 some time...n suri removed his piece of heart...his IPOD...n suri hai toh sare fundoo gaane hone hi hain...billo bounce...chaak le glass...n wat not...some Imran Khan NRI had sung all these songs...all punjabi...bt d beats were amazzzing....

finally after an hr in d train v reachd MALAD...bt d walk frm d stn...was d worst...it was so damn hott...n none of d ricks were ready 2 cme 2 chanyacholi bandar(sorry suri) in thane atleast thr is a queue fr rickshaws...:P finallly god heard our plead n 1 fellow took us 2 satwiks plce..hot hot foooood was waiting 4 us at blue elegance...n aunty had prepared ammmazzzzing foood...thr wr 5 sabzis-bhindi..alu...capsicum..baingan n rajma,hot hot rotis,papad,curd,dal....wat more do u want...after d yummmmy lunch...riddhi n myself were so damn sleepy...while satwik was getting converted into suris poshak...v tried 2 find out sme info abt d company...bt was of no use at all....after all of us were ready...i askd riddhi to lend me her shoes when i go for my interview n riddhi was like sure..! dil ko thoda sukoon mila...d office was very close 2 suris plce...so d 2 lazy ppl-riddhi n suri...decided 2 take suris bike...n suri in 2 trips took us 1 by 1 to d office...

as soon as v reachd thr v cldnt believe our eyes...d office was situated besides a shop known as "Fluffy Pillows" ...it lookd soo much like a departmental store...n after lookn at tht all d boys removed their Ties off n were like y d hell shld v waste our tie for ths company...bt as v had to maintain d Xaviers brand name...d boys wore it bck n v decided 2 go inside...v reachd thr around 3:45 n d interview was scheduled at 4...v went in n d whole plce was of wood...wooden flooring,furniture...walls...everything...thr was no1 at d reception...

v waited fr half n hr...n a lady....Mrs G...cme to us n was like "have u guys cme fr summers interview...u guys r frm SOME college na?" v were shocked SOME????:o Its Xaviers Institute Of Management and Research...!>:X then she asked us to wait n submit our CVs...every1 had formed d same opinion abt her...RUDE..!

she went in n thr wr continuously candidates cmg in for interviews n thr was no1 to evn answer them at d reception...v guided them n most of them waited wid us at d entrance...bt their interviews had startd...thr was a gal who had cme fr d receptionists job...she was sitting amongst us..MJ was very bored so he bought eclairs fr all of us...he offered 1 to tht gal...bt d gal refused...d best part was MJ's reply...he ws like "arre dnt worry le le maine xtra laya hi tha" n v cldnt ctrl our laughter...he is such a Kartoooon.....baapre...!

after an hr or so Mrs G cme to educate us on d job profile...as soon as v heard d profile v had made up our minds 2 give it a miss...bt d collgs reputation was at stake...n v had travelled soo much...bunked lect for ths...so v finally decided to give d interviews just for d sake of it...Mrs G asked us to wait for 10-15 mins n said she wld start d interviews in sme tme...Some Time passsssed n passsed n passssed....bt d 15 mins wr nt over...

v had made all sorts of plans of gng 2 Inorbit havn Lenitas fav choc donuts n wat not..bt as usual smthng hd 2 go wrong...finally after waitng fr hrs dng evrythng in tht small plce Mrs G cme at arnd 6:45 n decided to start wid our interviews...by ths time jessica had finishd clickng snaps...Fiona had her sandwiches...mikhail his biscuits....tikshan his cadbury...MJ checking out gals...n Dwayne learning 'Paisa Paisa kyun karti hai....' Finally our interviews were done n i tried to remove as much as fault i cld in d profile n i told it during d interview...who cares if u gonna get selected or nt...!!!

the next sankat i had was how do i go bck home frm Malad....suri askd me not to travel by bus as thr will b a lot of traffic...i was nt convinced...as usual suri ne bhagwaan se pucha...n toss kiya n i had to travel by train...Malad-Dadar....Dadar-Thane...

MJ...Tikshan...Sonali n myself all 4 of us left in 1 rick till d stn....v had MJ so no worries...v gt dwn close 2 d stn...n walkd frm thr...in b/w i saw n Archies Gallery n decided to get in n check out some nice stufff....expectations u c...Malad na..! bt all in vain...cldnt find nytng...

d boys also dd sme window shopping wid us...n thn bth d boys startd demanding treat frm sonali as it was her bday...n she agreed...d boys decided 2 have lassi at MM...n as v dnt like it v had my fav samosas....d hottest samosa i ever had...bt it was yummmm....:D:D:D:D thn luckily v gt a fast local fr Dadar...n sonali n myself v had a yawning competition in d train....v bth were literally DEAD...!!!!

d thought of changing d train for Thane made me even more cranky n tired...1 more hour....DAMN!!! i just dnt wanna get up...bt had to...luckily i gt a thane local frm dadar n finally after all d HUNGAMA i reached home at 930...after d yuckiest experience....!

i cld never imagine my frst interview wld b smthng like ths...!!!then i thought gud i dnt wear formal shoes...bt felt bad i had to waste my new shirt 4 ths stupid interview...!!!

bt thanx to suri n all d other friends had an awesome time minus d interview time...!!!!

Just hoping i dnt have to face ths again...:D:D:D
