My Dream called me !!

May 16th, 2008


“Oops!!! Sorry Good Luck next time”

I walked out the room with shedding tears and the whole edifice of my hopes destroyed. There was no hope left in me for a moment. Totally taken down. A few friends and lectures tried consoling me and said

“Take it easy. There is something bright waiting for you”.

All I dreamt and aspired for was to get placed in my 1st company (TCS) that I participate in but, now have to quit in my 1st phase of entry. I had reasons for that because that was a concern of pride, prestige, name and fame at college of being placed in the 1st attempt .Nothing to do now but, to dispel my dreams and go ahead.

All that bothered me was “Where all my dedication and 2 month preparation go”.

Only after a talk with dad on phone that I could get composed. I had to accept the fact that I had something bright waiting.

I came home that evening form the hostel. Mom and Dad did all that they could talking to me telling that “Getting a job is not all your life”, and tried recoiling to my state of mind.


May 17th, 2008

With no much ease but self motivated I started off my search and preparation for my next company Infosys that was scheduled after 2 days from then at Hyderabad. Truely Infosys was always my dream, for I admire Mr.Narayana Murthy’s ideologies and mission. Just tried googling some tips and samples of the interview pattern. Got my ticket for Hyderabad reserved for the next day afternoon and winded up the day.



May 18th, 2008

All my other mates were coming Hyderabad for the recruitment drive collectively by bus from my college. As I was at home started early that morning to Vijayawada so that I could catch Bus to Hyderabad in the afternoon. My College TPO called up and told me that written test would start by 10:30 a.m the next morning and asked me to reach the venue college by means of a college bus that drives to the college from the KPHB stop by 7:30 a.m. By 1:00 p.m that day I boarded the bus and started off. Reached that day by 9p.m and got freshed and laid on bed with no thoughts of next, gazing at the room ceiling.



May 19th, 2008

I never knew this day was more than a bright morning to me. As told by my TPO, I made myself sure to be at the bus stop some 15 minutes before. By 7:15 a.m I reached the stop and waited for the bus to come. As I waited on busy Hyderabad road I could see those school going kids neatly dressed and getting into there buses, Those working people at the stop waiting for there transport to move and the blowing horns of the most crowed city buses. I looked at my watch it was 7:45a.m. The bus I was waiting yet didn’t come. I thought let me wait for some 10 minutes.

8:00 a.m and yet bus didn’t come. I called up my TPO and he asked me to wait for 15 minutes and the bus would come. I did as I was told. All I knew was the venue college was some 70 Kms drive from the stop and would take 1 and half hour by bus.

15 minutes elapsed, there was no bus. I called back my TPO and asked him “Sir, it’s already 8:15 and the bus still didn’t come”. He said “Sorry!! I just now enquired with the college A.O and got the information that the bus moved off from a different route due to some Traffic issues. So you better look out for some local transportation and reach the college by 10:30”

Gosh!!!! Its 8:30 and now that I knew nothing about means to reach out to the venue place. I didn’t know what to do. I just looked around if I can ask people about means to reach out to that college. I could see Auto stand on the other side of the road. I crossed the road and asked an auto driver “Can you tell me how to reach Narsapur from here”

He replied “Madam if you take auto you can reach in 40 minutes and we charge you Rs.500 else you have buses running from Balanagar Bus stop”.

I asked” how far is Balanagar from here??

He replied “about some 15 minutes journey madam.”

I Reckoned!!! Traveling by auto would get me at the place prior to the test time and taking a bus would reach just in time.

I refused to travel by auto because, they are not a right choice for long distance travel and thought “how far these autos are safe and drivers are trust worthy”

I asked him to drop me at Balanagar stop and would take bus from there.

9:10 by the time I reached Balanagar stop. I asked a man waiting at the stop “When do we have bus to Narsapur from here??”

He replied “Not very frequent but usually every 30 minutes there is a bus starting from here and some 10 minutes back a bus left”

I said ok, Thank you

That info came as a thunder bolt to my heart  I looked at my watch it was 9:25.So now I need to wait for 20 min’s and then will take some 45 min’s to reach the college and sure I will be late for the test and head back the same way home 

I gazed at the road and between all sort of idiotic thoughts swapped my mind.

I told myself “This was not something bright waiting and need to wait for something even brighter”

My mobile ring broke the silence of my fading thoughts. It screened “TPO calling”
I said ‘Hello sir’
He asked me ‘did you start and how much time would it take for you to reach”’
I replied in a low voice ‘Sir, I’m struck! Can only reach college by any means after 10:30”
He said ‘Hoo!! But at least try coming soon. Test will start by 10:30 sharp.’
I could hear some beeps while I was talking on mobile
I said ‘Ok sir and kept down the phone’

The reason for those beeps was that my mobile was out of charge and got switched off once I kept it down.

It was kind me in a battle field and asked myself ‘Defensive or attack’ with a controversial stance.

I couldn’t believe as I looked at a bus with a name board ‘Narsapur’ heading the bus stop. I looked at my watch 9:45. I fastened and got into the bus and sat. the bus started to move.

Not being much conscious I took my mobile out my hang bag to call up my TPO and enquire about the conditions there. But then realized that it was out of charge and switched off.
I tried switching on and then immediately an SMS flashed ‘tried calling u couple of times but couldn’t get connected. Test will be starting in 15 min’s’

It was from my TPO. I know I’m not that stupid and tried my best all that I could. but still I couldn’t make any random guess if I will at least make to take up the test that day and kept my fingers crossed.

Finally I managed to reach the college by 10:45 and saw my TPO and other two of my college lectures waiting out for me. TPO gave a glare look at me and we rushed the upstairs to take the test.

I could see all seated in classrooms with papers on desk and pen in hand. I looked feeble and couldn’t curb my tension. Invigilator there told ‘sorry sir, she is late we cannot allow to take the test’
Till then I at least had some hope but now hope, confidence and everything shattered.
TPO said ‘try requesting’
I spoke to the invigilator and tried convincing her to my best.
With no much discussion she said ‘ok u can take the test provided u will not be given any extra time”
I said ‘ok, thank you madam’ and she ushered me to the seat.
I was given those test papers and then took a deep breathe and looked into.
It was mid summer and I was sweating profusely yet, all that I had on my mind that moment was to crack the test and get qualified.

They were two papers to answer and did then both pretty well.

We were told that the short listed will be announced after lunch at 2:00p.m.

I forgot that I didn’t have breakfast that morning and even didn’t sip some water. I was starving. Seriously ‘I am famished’. But then my test result concerned me more than my hunger. Had some water and sufficed my lunch that day.

We were asked to assemble in the auditorium and by 2:30p.m the results were out…
As the HR head announced I heard that 12 from my college got short listed.

I thought ho really!! Then why the heck you people took so much time to shortlist 12??

I knew my thought was foolish. I felt angry at my TPO and myself.

My body trembled with violent intensity as the 12 names were being read

I tried catching my breathe and finally heard my name read out…

Hurrey!! Surprising but then I checked my self if they were telling truth.

The next hour had my HR interview that went on smooth.

Finally by 5:00 in the evening the HR head announced the final recruited list and my name was in :)

Cheer’s!!! I cried along with my other mates. My dream called me :) My effort and lil’ luck did paid me off.

Feeling of being an Infoscion is amazing!!

May 19th, 2008 ;) Most cherished and happiest day in my life. Reminiscencing that 1 year old, good memory that gave me an entry 2 initiate my career, I started to pen down my lines.

Living out Dreams --> Brain Drain

“Give me you’re tired, you’re poor, you’re huddled masses yearning to breathe free” these are the words inscribed on the statue of liberty in NewYork. But Surprisingly, those who go there are not the poor and the wretched but, the skilled and the highly qualified Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, Nurses and Technicians from other countries including India. The urge to go to the west has become compelling in India in post independent years. Mainly the world wars, civil wars and revolutions spawned large migration. People in power like scientists and skilled persons have from the very beginning, played a key role in international migration.


But did ever any one wonder what is “Brain Drain”???


Yes, The Oxford dictionary referred says ‘The phenomenon of gaining qualified and skilled personnel at the cost of the donor country” is generally termed Brain Drain. Perhaps the most important reason for the Brain Drain phenomenon is an educational pattern which does not serve the needs of the country and the others are unrecognized or unrewarded talents and lack of job opportunities for the trained professionals. Besides all the desire to earn salaries that were undreamt and enjoying a lifestyle that’s a cocktail of content and westernization is more seen to be the objective of migrants.


Today we see people and papers project that social and economic revolution is enriching and transforming India which seem to be good sign .But you see we are still far down the line to Americans. The fact is that we are no less to Americans but yet, we don’t realize that we need to work, contribute and expend our skill in improvising our country before providing crutches for others to run their lives. It’s not the rounded figures that you get credited with every month or the Contented lifestyle that you experience that counts your life and profession worthy. But, wake up and understand the fact that u cannot work at the cost of your lifeblood that other countries invest to blow up there economies.



I don’t want any one losing there cool during reading this post. but, accept that even before we work for someone we need to work for our country. Idea of working and pursuing abroad is no wrong, and then we have an even more responsible challenge in putting and seeing our nation on the list of developed countries. We have a productive generation with more possibilities and choices than were available to the previous generation. Today when we can build roads, airports, power plants and what not. Why cannot we strive for building our nation, where we got the roots from? From the land to the space Indians have proven to be the most skilled intellectuals. Let the mark of ours remain inscribed on our sands.


A few may not approve my discussion, But we should drive in our potentials, talents and energies catering to our nations needs when we can and should do better for ourselves and our country.


Let’s Live to our Dreams and not Out.

Curtain Raiser

“I saw a fish and a fisherman,
The fisherman was fishing,
And the fish was swimming.
The fisherman caught the fish and fried,
Poor fish it cried and died,
For not fulfilling its wish.”

These were my first poetic lines that I penned when I was a 9 yr little girl, that brought in my first achievement in writing. At those times with no much perception I just jotted that knocked my mind.

That was just a start !!!


And down the years rolling I jotted many with improvising thoughts and quality writing. From then till today writing is my passion and fashion. I Vision and Envision my life through writings and I believe in that. I don’t consider being a great writer but, then I believe my writing and work will one day pay me off and put me on the list of loved writers.

It was my school “Vidyanikethan” that made me relish the taste of language and writing. From then I was always knee about enhancing my writing skills. Later, when I was 18 it was “Chethan Bhaghat” who inspired me to an extent that now I have a strong desire to author a book in near future. I love and admire his works for the reason that he has got the writers fork, Inspiring young minds with his scintillating writings.

It’s been days I was thinking to have my writings on my blog. Finally today I gave it a start off with “http://Reinventwriting.blogspot.com”. My passion for language and writing certainly added to the appeal of entering into blogging. I don’t expect growing at a faster clip but, Just that my attempt will help me now as well as in the longer term. With my Blog, I make myself sure to post in good, sensible, and quality content that all you readers will surely like and love reading.

My thoughts drive me, which make my writings austere and lucid with no perplexity. I make sure my writings are never banal or verbose. I’d always want to keep them simple, carrying my style for the reason that I want every reader of my writings to converge and experience a smooth sail through out. I’m neither analogous to any nor make no claim to be paragon of virtue’s. I just wish my writings to be perennial because, I’m passionately fond of writing.


Today I’m 21. As I continue to pursue my passion I owe my heartfelt gratitude to my Dad--> My 1st Guru,Mom --> for her love and care,My brother, from whom I draw inspiration, for there continual support and trust in me, who made me aware that “Success in every aspect you attempt is not always a good criterion of real success But, prior to this Passion, Positive Attitude and Commitment get noticed”. Thanks to Lakshmi Mam-->My Lecturer, who made me sense the essence of language, quality reading and writing. Thanks a ton to My well wisher’s , and My Critic's for there Genuine Feedback on my writings .

From the core of my heart, Thanks to all my blog readers and followers. Be it a comment or a compliment I will be glad to hear back from you.
