I believe "Life is always the best tester of your capabilities".
It will test your management when you think there is nothing to be managed, It will test your knowledge when there is nothing to put your mind in, It will test your patience when you are at the peak of your impatience, It will test your control when you badly want to go uncontrolled and so on.......
My life is full of these tests. Even though I didn't get passed in each test conducted by my life I still maintained to live happily. I am creating this blog juz to let you guys know a bit bout my life.
When I applied for B.TECH. entrance exam of state level exam, suddenly govt came up with 50% paid seats in all premier govt engg institutes and "luckily" I managed to secure a rank at which free seats were not available. My father didn't have enough money to get a paid seat. Finally I landed up in AMU. The test gets over and all this paid seat/free seat funda was waved from next year as if that was created only for me. That was juz tip of the iceberg. I have been facing such tests through out my life. Somehow I managed to complete my B.Tech. with decent marks but with a bad impression on most of my profs as I never quit teasing them. I always try to relate every theory to the practical examples which was not possible in every case and this often ends with kicking me out of the class.
then again in the final year of my Btech I conclude that I shouldn't stop after graduation rather go for MBA. I prep well, had CL(Career Launcher) classes, got decent scores in CL's mocks and finally on 'The Day' I couldn't performed. The result ? Pathetic. got 58%ile in one of the section. Didn't get through any of the 'Good' institute.
Now, Placements in the campus have started. TCS was the 1st company to visit. Sit and got thru. Was not allowed for CSC/HCL etc. Was very impressed with TCS ppt and work which they have portrait there. Finally joined TCS. after training in coimbatore(TN), they asked for preferences of joining location. DELHI, MUMBAI , PUNE were my 3 pref in that order. All my friends also applied in the same manner. Finally joining day came and I got KOLKATA( was that a option. i never saw that) with a couple of friends; rest all got DELHI/NOIDA/GURGAON.
OK, with accepted type feeling I reached kolkata. I was trained in .NET and finally got project in MS Excel and Access (now that was frustrating). Any how managed to work and got a little bit of .NET work in mids. then after missing a chance of taking CAT again in 2006, I planned to prep for 2006. Started prep sincerely, CAT was on 18-NOV. In july I was asked if I want to go onsite(US), $'s started blinking in my eyes. I say YES without giving it a 2nd thought. scrapped all my prep and dreams of MBA for some tiny '$s' ( This was one of my biggest mistakes in life. In other word, in this test of life I failed by a large margin). Reached US on 1st-SEPT, enjoy there for a month. My stay was supposed to be long term. It was only after a month when I realize that I got failed in the last test of life and then decided to go back and take the test again(Improvement exam :) ). My manager was not ready to send me back, had a discussion(Fight in exact word) and finally I survived. Came back to india on 22nd OCT. 25 days in hand and I have to do so many things. I used to take leave from office more frequently. study very hard till late nights, Saturdays and Sundays. I was doing whatever I could. Finally 'The Day' came and although I did pretty well but repeats some of the previous mistakes and results ? NO IIM call ( later IIM-shillong called me). But finally got thru IMT-G(FIN) and got waiting in NITIE and MDI-PGPM.
Got thru NITIE-IM also. will be joining thr.
