Four Placements by now, two in-campus and two off placed. But still I couldn't a job by now. It was already January second week and there were hardly three more months free for me to get placed through my college. If I couldn't make by then, I have to pick a tough file with all the documents of mine and look for vacancies in job portals, stay in cities like Hyderabad or Chennai, invade job melas, contact consultancies and many more. But everything consume the same; time and money, which I never wanted to waste. There was still a month for the next in-campus to come to our college. Meanwhile invitations from other colleges used to come to our college and we used get updates about it. One such came was Cegedim, through a job consultancy in support for our college. But the event was being held in Gudivada, another nearby city. I had to travel to a new city for the first time by myself and attend there. For a reserved natured guy like me, it was almost like going abroad, because I never dared to go somewhere alone. No one from my college was either attending, and so I had to make it all by myself.
I had to reach the college by 10 am. And the event starts by then, the journey was about One and Half hour, if you catch a proper bus that doesn't walk or crawl. I had to start even by 7 am. But lazy me, started at 8 am. The bus was really crawling as I expected, and dropped me there after 9:40 am. There was only 10 minutes left for me to reach that college but there was no other source but to pick up a share auto to go there. Fortunately I found one and took it, but I’m too much lucky. The auto driver noticed an accident on the way we were going and found that it was one of his acquaintances. He abruptly dropped us in the middle of the road and went away in his rescue. I thanked god for the kindness he shows on me every time, and waited to catch another. There was only one auto going towards the way I wanted to go, that stopped before us. It was a goods carrier transporting ripe tomatoes and meat. Ripe tomatoes smelled too much worse than meat for me, and I being a vegetarian had to sacrifice all my principles to get to there. Finally somehow I managed to reach there half an hour late. I was already wet in the sweat, hardly breathing as I entered the college. Thank god, my elder sister works there. She was there to help me for that day. I gave the test, and again it was the same test I attempted in my placement before. But the questions were more from Dot Net, than in Java and I being a good dot net student attempted all the questions correctly and was sure that I could crack it easily. I had my lunch with my sister, and was sad to find out that the results will again b given a week later. I bid her good bye and returned home. All I felt was hopeful, because I may get into this job for sure as I performed well in the test. Here the twist occurs, I was selected for further rounds, but I was unable to go because I was struck with viral fever! Then I understood how hard it can be when all the planets are against you. The sickness was not a simple one, it costed me two weeks and three placements. One of them was ADP, another company that came to our college. I tried my best to answer the questions, but my feverish nature won over my dedication. And my position came back to the first again: failure at the first round. I was to weep really by this time, much because of the fever that costed me a great damage! I returned home, and days seemed all alike that I can never make it again. I felt like divine should have been pleased by my sufferings, and so were the next days fortunately like what I dreamed of.
