Fate at its best.....

Its when everything goes right, when everythin looks beautiful, when everythin looks set.. That is when adversity strikes and that is when life shows what it is very much capable of. Some lucky ones of course would have got away with it but even they would or will surely experience the adversity.. Im not praying for it!!!! im sure about it.Because we are all here not to just enjoy the good and the nice things of life but also to experience the adversities.

One forgets how important it is to experience the bad too. He does'nt appreciate the fact that it is for some good that we go through the bad. It is a vicious circle.
Good is followed by the bad and bad by the good. Here bad is a very subjective term. I have often noticed,for some a petty thing is a disaster and for someone like me even a disaster is not even a petty problem. ;)

Coming to the word "FATE" which im sure is one of the most unluckiest word in the English dictionary because it is the most accused word. Any bad thing happens to one he is prompt and shrewd enough to say "dude it is all fate"!!!
And i completely agree to it. It is all fate. I also hear people saying "You can write your own fate" But it is totally not practical and possible. The world would have been a total mess if one was given the freedom to write his own fate as what he wants to do and where he wants to go. And for those who have aspired and dreamt of something and have actually got it,i would say it is hardcore coincidence and a good personal orientation.
It is practically not possible because of the choice clash concept. There would be crores and crores of people wishing and choosing for the best thing to happen in their lives but the best thing can be only one. So how can these many acquire the best thing?? Now that is why everyone goes through shit in life because life itself wants the best thing to be rotated among everyone possible. That is why one cannot be happy forever.

The best thing to do in life is to just accept the fact that there is nothing that is under our control, all we can do is just gracefully accept the problems and laugh it off and that can happen only when we just enjoy the good and the bad too. There are so many bad things which we do knowing they are bad like smoking and excessive drinking! so why not this too??!!

LET THE FITTEST SURVIVE AND OTHERS JUST FADE AWAY!!!

An experience to experience....

School is over!!! :)No more academics!!! But definitely a lot of learning and lot of hard work.. more than ever. Till yesterday life was all about Marks,internals,inter collegiate competitions,canteen,asking out random girls,semester exams and bunking classes etc etc. Well with a great grief i can say all that is over.Now life is all about may be achieving targets, about how fast i can grasp my responsibilities and how well i get along with my team.(These are once again assumptions since i was never exposed to this activity of life)

I first got a call from a girl with a very cute voice asking if i was siddharth srinivasan. i was in college. I was all happy since it was a cute voice and said of course I'm. :) Then she said who she was and asked me if i would be interested in the role?? I said yes no problem. My interview date and time was finalised and it was at their own office at 1pm.The office was at RMZ tech park which i have heard a lot about but have definitely not entered since there was no necessity as such. That day i had to. I was so clueless as how to enter the place because there was no watchman to open the gate for me. it were all automated glass gates where the existing employees were just swiping their cards and entering the office.

I then took help of the security and managed to enter. I see the place,the floor, it looked like a never ending stretch of cubicles and systems.
I Expected everybody to look at me and gaze coz that is how it used to be in college and school. where a new student enters and all eyes would be on him/her wondering who he is ,where he is from and the gossips used to flow like a river. Then after i saw no difference in their action i realised it was a "corporate". People do not have time for their own selves, how would they possibly have time for some unknown boy like me.I proceeded and met the HR who had given a call to me. She greeted me and then took me to a glass sound proof room and as it is the office in spite of so many people working was extraordinarily silent and now the glass room's silence was just Way too loud!!!! Silence was tearing my ear drums. And then a small brief up about the company and a brief assessment she made about me and asked me to wait for my next round.

The second round was taken by a very smart and a dude like person whose English was impeccable and the approach was a mix of a strict corporate and a friend. It went on for more than half an hour. Even there i ended up speaking about the fossil watch which my students gifted me few days ago. Even he was impressed with the watch. So i had few more rounds after that where in all the rounds my CV was ripped left and right and finally i was told " your selected when can you join??" I was really happy since it was my first professional interview which i cracked and was being inducted.
I joined on Monday where i no more had to run around to access the security gates. All i had to do was just swipe the card and the gate would open.

And on the very first day i saw few candidates who were awaiting their interview turn. I was wearing my id card the tag of whose held my company's name and i acted as if i owned the company in front of them just to show off and was directing them as if i was the contractor of the building.

Its Definitely a confidence booster when you do not slog for a good job and run around places to enter a good corporate. I realised that, all it requires to crack an interview is 20 % technical knowledge, 80 % confidence.
