From Home to Work.....

Well its been long since i have filled my blog...
hmm things have changed drastically since my last entry...My Post graduation is complete and my training is done...for 8months i was at home...no job n just searching for it....got call for few interviews and went for interview for some...but no luck

Worst of all were those neighbors who kept nagging .. “you still didn't get any job...you are home???? going to do a job or not???? and the worst shadi vadi ho rahi hai kya?????”

Ha those were my worst days...I started hating those people and started avoiding any conversation with them. I was successful but my parent were not. They frequently met people who kept on asking them the same questions. They came back home irritated and tell me the whole thing. Ah that was painful.....My brother started irritating soon. He is younger to me but he kept bothering me with his questions and curiosity...may be he was concerned but i was frustrated....

Though I was all baffled I had one thing to enjoy.....sleeping and the freedom to go anywhere any time.....
I usually go out with my mom...occasionally with my friends. It used to be fun I could enjoy...

All my friends tried to console me.... “are its good yaar enjoy urself now later you will have to suffer for a free day once you get a job....” I did felt they were kind and may be right but that time i just wanted to work....by the end of 5th month i was used to the home environment. I started liking what ever i did at home and even almost stopped searching for a new job...Strangely i started enjoying at home.....and suddenly i realized it ...I started asking myself “whats going on”. It was like as if i am made to b at home. I felt bad for myself I always wanted to work and earn own my own, be independent and live life.

11 march'08 I and one of my classmate gave an interview in an research institute for my subject department. One of our classmates was working in the same institute. Before the co mince of the interview, this friend came to us to wish good luck. Sweet of her. She advised and actually forced me to give this interview.
The interview was done but still i had no clue whether it was good or not. I was just was waiting for the next day to come because they were going to call if selected.

The next day at every phone ring I ran to pick it up, but no calls came for me the whole day. Next few days i didn't move out of my house with a hope that call will come. Within few I came to know that 3 people have been selected and have joined the inst. I was the 4th int he list of selected candidates. That was really painful. Somehow things carried on. I was sad for missing a good opportunity the whole next month. Not a single day passed that i was not doleful about it.

By the 2nd week of may I had given few interviews but not from my field. Some didnt like me. Some didnt like. So life was only at home. All my classmates started doing something, whether in the same field or switched to IT industries. Few girls even got married or engaged. And here I was the only one doing nothing.

My friends talked about their schedule and how much less time they get for themselves and i simply had nothing to talk about. Life was moving.

Finally I got a call from the same inst in 2nd week of may. They asked if I could join them. That was the only thing I wanted to hear. I then contacted head of dept and fixed a date to meet her in the lab.

I went to office on the decided date and started doing all the formalities required. And today i am working in the lab. Its been only 15 days since I am working, I feel its only tomorrow I felt helpless and bad about myself.

I have left all the negativity behind and looking forward to new challenges in my life. My career has at last started and I have lots to learn.

May be this article has no meaning but this is very important writeup for me.
Without forgetting i should thank my dearest classmate (who was working in the inst)who forced me to attend the interview. I will always be thankful to her for this opportunity.
God bless her.
