A roller-coaster of emotions.. From attending pre-placement talks to getting the spot offer, from sleepless nights to day dreaming of the dream job, from losing hope on landing with a good job to settling for something lesser, from praying for friends to getting irritated with them, from a fun-filled birthday to discovering the “poet” in me… It’s been one unforgettable month.. 14th Dec being the most unforgettable.. A day of nerves.. that could be the only way to describe it.. I almost thought that I had lost the job when they made the offer… I could feel tension all around, had completely got stressed out but one thing carried me through.. the belief that there’s nothing to lose.. the conviction that this is just a start and not the end of the world.. Eventually I realized how much ever you study, however brilliant you may be, the decisive moment will be in your favour only if you are confident of your worth, only if you can think on your feet and of course only if you have the attitude!
This almost sounds like wisdom in retrospect! I’m going to grow old to be a granny to tell stories about self-belief and attitude :)
One of the most interesting revelations/discoveries are people… yes, if not anything, the placement week reveals a lot about people…The divide between acquaintances and friends is clearer than ever before.. And then there are some who have never been friends and still reach out to you.. It’s an experience in itself :) I’m glad that my B-school gave me such opportunities to test my mettle, to test my nerves and also taught me to deal with people.. Its easier now than it was 2 years back- to work in teams, to lead, to delegate, to not be judgmental about people, to understand that everyone is unique, and of course to appreciate that- what goes up has to come down... everything evens out!

Best piece of wisdom, lines from my favourite song-
Don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either.. Your choices are always half chance.. and so are everybody else’s!!!

i think the last two lines of the blog sum it all up .. never consider yourself "not worthy" or any less than someone else .. its only in times like these that one can truly find what one is made of ... and the outcome is for us to see today !
