I remember the day when they had announced, “…and the last student who got selected in
ING is Abhishek Bothra” and it became one of the happiest night of my life.
Since the time was 12 in the night and I waited so long for the result.
I remember the day when, at the time of joining, I had this
notion that this was the time I actually waited for. Getting a job and almost
with a maximum package is like a dream come true for a MBA student. But ,
unfortunately things didn't work out for me and after 5 months I left the
organization.
I remember the statement my dad had quoted, “ babu, if you
are not liking the profile then leave and don’t worry”. But somewhere down the
line I knew that he never wanted me to leave, I always knew that if I would
have given it a shot, I could have stayed for longer. Nevertheless, what has
happened has happened.
I remember those five months when I was sitting almost idle
and did nothing productive. Started with some GD/PI batches and tried my luck
with coaching institutes, for god sake. Slogged my ass and tried every jack of
mine for some job in banks, for family’s sake. At last, I started with an
“Advertising” business, with a dream of doing something big, for society’s
sake. And like always, nothing turned out the way it should have been.
I remember when, after my convocation, I had a word with Ms
Bhumika Bansal regarding some job at NDIM, and after some negotiation she
finally agreed and I was offered with a profile of Assistant Professor. Though
I got no subject to teach (genuine reasons) but the profile was cool and
package was less. But the best part is, I am working again and it is always
better to do something rather than sitting like a pampered son. I, everyday
prayed that my enthusiasm should never go down. Even if I get to hear some
scolding or if I am doing something which I am not supposed to do and I get
into bad books of some colleagues, I certainly know that I am on track again.
I remember when , I had promised myself that, I won’t lose
my patience now and will give my best shot every day and , touchwood, I’m glad
that I am happy after so long, I am
still unstable and so is my mind but I now have some goal in my life. Lot more
to achieve and lot more to fulfill, motivation and a pat is what I seek. Hope
to work out productive this time.
