Look who's back....

Look who's back.....
ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .......thats me ....Ich bin sehr happy........why you ask? well...first of all I GOT PLACED.....where you ask....? guess...CITIBANK...the job of my dreams....I dreamt of the day i got placed all my life....
7: 16 pm....I sit in the room of doom ..awaiting results....there is no feeling...a sense of numbness has settled around me....I have no sense of anything around me except a buzz in my head...had they made me wait any longer, I would have fainted.......and then suddenly I hear "Sravan" then "Krishna" and Sanghamitra ma'am , my placement co-ordinator smiles at me and rushes me to join those guys....Gosh!I had not heard my own name being called...as my father says "You are a prized DOPE!" and thats what I say to myself as soon as I realised I HAD MADE IT! Thats me ! I call myself a DOPE when I realise I have made it to Citibank.......need I say more!Wait, the best is yet to come.....
I call dad and tell him I made it ..and he says "Ok..." ...pause...and says "bye"...."HUH! WHAT WAS THAT????" Anyways....memories fade as I focus on the ppt of the next company.....then i call back home to tell them the details...and my dad says "ok! I got it..but then why did you call again to tell me the same thing..." and I say meekly "just to give you the details...." and he says..."what details? the process is not over yet is it?" AH! so thats it....." DAD!I got through" and silence............................................'WHAT???? and he calls my mom who by the way does not need a reason to cry.....but today I give it to her.....she cries her heart out and I wish I was there to give her a big hug and thank her for what she made out of me! I save it for later..........
So thats that...I elaborate it so 'coz its a feeling deeply embedded in my heart......I shall not forget the day or 7:16 pm.....It will be a moment to reckon again and again when I will feel low because of failures....all the tears I shed for the fear of not succeeding....I thank GOD for this brilliant moment in my life.....Oh before I forget.....
abhijit made it to Henkel....(and I am sooooo jealous!)
Sheetal made it to ICICI Bank along with Sid .....
Mayuri made it to Genpact and she fainted when she heard that...I empathise with her!
Shruti got thru' CTS and Ravi Bihari made it to Wipro (naughty boy!)
Baba also made it to Henkel!
And DADA and I are colleagues as you guys must have got by now...GOD SAVE CITIBANK!
Actually wanted to write many more things but kinda got hung up on this....so until next time...
