The struggler I know

"There's something about her.......some magic.......something that soothes your mind....so bad!!!" were my remarks while relishing the state of gratification which was result of a glimpse of a beautiful girl who visited the office library (well...to give you a brief....that's my designated place in the office....since last 15 days and for few more coming days)....while I was in complete intent of making the maximum utilization of her rare sight....and anticipated no point of distraction.....Suddenly.....I saw people turning their heads, looking here-n-there, as if they were searching something......"what's unusual??" I thought......before I noticed that my new cellphone with new ring tone "roo-ba-roo.....dhuan chataa khula gagan mera" was ringing within my pant pockets and unbeknownst public was still trying to make out as to who the hell was abusing library's peaceful and pacified ambience.....I acknowledged.....to let people know it was I.....who drifted you all away from your subjects ....and eventually me as well from my mine ;)


I saw on mobile screen it was Yaddu (my sweet college friend)....."ye saala hamesha ghalat time me hi call karta hai...." I said to myself.........presuming the purpose of his call I answered ........"haan bol Yaddu....."........and a sound with profound sense of joy emerged from his vocals....."Oppu" (that's how he calls me.....)...."I got through a company.......I am employed now......I got a job!!!!"......I was just more than a bit excited and asked....."when? How come? Which company?"........he told me brief details about the employment offer made to him......."ghar aa jaa....phir detail me baat karte hain"......he said......I agreed and hung up......I forgot almost everything around including the beautiful lady who had already disappeared from library by then and started thinking of the days Yaddu had spent struggling for a decent break....I know him since last 7 years......He completed his PG diploma from IIT KGP in june 2006 and since then has been struggling for employment.....a yearlong hardwork, dedication and patience has paid him off, beautifully.......

I knew he was technically perfect and in a good shape for almost every company that exists in hyderabad as he could easily solve their written exams within due time.......but was usually rejected in HR or in Technical round sometimes.......I have seen him wearing out his shoes for the cause of employment.....and was constantly reducing physically.......his time was running out steadily......like sand slipping off from packed fist.....we started believing that he could be a misfit in IT industry given he had not yet made through any company..........and if I am not wrong the same notion reigned his family's discussions.....to alleviate his distressedness we talked to him about alternative ideas of teaching, govt jobs, BPO, CDAC course etc.....but he was determined and stayed put to his objective....most importantly he didn't lose his faith on himself......neither did he try his luck in any other industry......the pressure he borne was excess and dealt frustration in a steadfast way......he knew time was againt him and wanted to just let it go by its pace.....waiting for his right time to come.......and there it is.......

life may not bring you anything.....life may be harsh......life may be ruthless........but not for long time......if you are stubborn.....if you strive.....if you struggle to live upto your choice.......wait and see......you just have to steadily measure your steps approaching your desired thing which life has for you somewhere down the road.....

Untill next time.........
