There are certain things that we cannot measure like pain, tension, happiness. But the intensity of tension is increasing in me day by day. Today is the fifth after my exams got finished. In the past, whenever I lost a job I was able to find another job very easily. But this time the recruiters has let me down.
Not only job, I am running out of budget also. Another 1st day of month is coming without salary.This is very painful. As anyother employee I expect a SMS from ICICI bank stating that you bank account has been filled and you are free to do what you like. I am confused how I am going to manage. Today I got a call from private consultancy stating that they have got vaccancies for Senior pay roll assistant. The Consultancy gal took all the details from me and said will mail the CV to her client. When I checked with my friends working there, they said that graduation is a prequisite there.In this condition I have to get a job at any cost or else my entire planning will go in vein. My criminal brain started booting. I googled for a specimen copy of university certificate. So that I can create a fake one by editing that. I wasted almost one hour in that. But that was of no use. In between that I got the call from the company. The HR was a nice lady, seems to be a north indian gal. She explained my roles and responsiblities. She wanted me to give her a self introducation. While giving the self intro, i told her that I am a graduate. I lied that I have two back logs(though I have hust wrote my 5th sem exam) and I have written the exam and is waiting for the result.Then she said they are encouraging only graduate. So asked me to contact her after getting the results. So that also Govindha!!
Musthafa has given me a number about a vaccancy in a telecom company for team leader. Though I am sure that I can manage a team, the physical appearence is blocking the path. People say that I am still a kid. Dont know what to do. Now I have started growing hair so that will make look a bit mature. People who has spoken to me always says that I am matured than my age. The last hope is CMA. They have started recruiting for a debt collection where some of my friends are working. What is disturbing me is that I have attended the interview thrice there. I was selected also. I committed the joining date all the three times. But never joined there. I dont like their recruitment policies. They will interview you. But they will not say when you have to join there. One fine day(sometimes 45 days after interview date) they will call up and say can you join tomorrow. Which is impossible. Whatever the problem is, at this point I needto get a job at any cost. So I will be going there for the interview on monday.
Manaf was online. Word chatted with him for almost 90 mins as voice chat cannot b used due to low bandwidth and no headset. He is coming tomorrow(He is in dubai, went there 6 months ago). He has not informed any one execpt his brother regarding the arrival. It will be a big surprise for his family and he is very thrilled also. We talked about the days we used to have at Firstsource my previous company. The office was jsut like a college. We were simply enjoying there.We are arranged a party here as Firos got promoted as WFM(work force management) executive. So i invited Manaf also. He said he will drop in. He asked m to keep his presence at party as a secret. So that we can give a surprise to all.
Manaf asked about my future plans after completing graduation. I said I am totally confused as I am always. As per his opinion MCSE will be a good option to select. He advised me to do MCSE,SAN courses so that he can try something for me in his company or in the same field. Thank god somebody is there to atleast offer. I will try my level best to get trained.
Another big thing that happened today was with my friend(Pra)/classmate/roommate. One sad matter happened in his life yester day(I cannot explain what it is, as I am not supposed to). Only me and another roommate of mine knew the details of that. My friend was afraid that Others will tease if they knew that. So he asked us to keep the matter secret. Today noon he teased me by singing some paradi songs. As a joke I also made a song regarding the secret matter and sang it out. One of my friend was sleeping there at that time. When (Pra) heard this. He took that in to heart and questioned my integrity. He said that I have proved that no secret should to be shared with me. He went to office after a while. When I sat alone and thought about that I felt totally guilty. So I asked for apology. I think now he is cool. Don’t know what is there in his heart.

Now I am free from all exams and tensions. Another one big thing has started bothering me. A job. I simply threw away my past job with a BPO. Though there are many valid reasons behind that, now I feel very sad about. Resigning a job is as simple as posting a mail,but getting another job is a big task.
Untill day before yesterday I was thinking that exams are going on. After exams I will start searching for a job. But today I understood the important point that getting a job is not a cake walk. I have always thought why I have to stand aside when all my batchmates gets promoted or gets recognised. I got my result. The fault is mine.
I am very lazy. When ever an extra work or 6th day or unusual shift is assigned to me. I have always succeeded in threating my team lead /manager that I am gonna resign. At that point of time it has helped me a lot in . But when a promotion or upraisal comes that has helped the same team leaders/manger in kicking me down.
I have to learn a lot and I have alearned a lot. What I have learned is only 1% of corporate life. The great one point that is to be kept in mind is, Professionalism is the key to succes. Office is office and personal life is different. When we mix both, the result will be a big zero. I used to tease people who always planned their salary or life just like a parliament budget. Now I know why life should be planned.
Now I am 21. I have to start living and have to learn what life is……

I Dont know what is making me so lazy?? I hate going to office now a days. I have lost my interest. I dont know why. Now the working hours is 10 Hrs. That means we have to spend half of the day in front of computers, listening to lunatic customers.
Yesterday was some what peaceful as it was memorial day in America. Today I heard we are having very high call Tsunami. Its been 4 days since I slept peacefully. After spending half of the day at office, I have to spend another half day in front of books. When I calculate the total remaining time for sleep, it is null.
Yesterday was one of my friend’s sister’s marriage. I was planning not to go for the marriage. As taking leave was a big head ache. But I when I came back from work yeaterday morning. All my roommates were getting ready for the marriage. Which made up my mind. I also went for the marriage. Went on a long distance train which was very crowded. My plan for sleeping was aborted. Bought a copper statue of Ganapathu Papa. First we selected a krishna Status. Then We thought not to give krishna statue as that was a marriage gift not a lover’s gift. We waited for our turn to wish the bride groom. But they went for luch. When we came after lunch they were getting ready to leave the place. When we went there to present the present. We got a staring look from groom’s ancestors. They believes that some appointment has to be taken for meet and wish bride and groom. They scolded my friend(groom’s brother) for taking us to meet her during that time. So I went ahead and presented the gift and came back. When I went for the marriage I was planning to take a group photo my cochin friends along with my school time friends. That all plannings went in vein. My friend felt very bad on this event and he appologised. But we didnt feel nothing, old people in the family will always behave like that. I dont know how I will behave when I become old.
I am expecting a warning letter from my Team leader as I didnt go to office today. Though his assistaant called me thrice. I went in search of auto during night to go to office. No one was there in the auto stand. I tried asking for lifts, which is too hard. So i came back after a while. What happened is happened. Let me complete my assignements then. I have to submit that soon……

After many days of enjoyment and rest, I am back. It was a great relief from all sorts of tension and studies. Sat at home all the days. Ate homely food to the full stomach. Being the season for all sorts of fruits, had that enough. Hung out with my old friends whom I missed a lot. Especially the ones I had during my tenth.
I was planning to come back by 17th or 18th. But I got a call from my company HR asking if I have resigned my job. So I though I will join as soon as possible. Finding a new job during this recession is quite impossible.I am feeling very lazy to log in tomorrow. I am having morning shift tomorrow.
I was not feeling well when I went home. So consulted a Physician. He gave me a lot of blood tests and advised me to take an X ray. Gave me a tablet and said that I have some allergy. He said that I will not have much sleep. As he said I was never able to sleep during night. So started studying. Thank god and the Dcotor. I have covered almost half of the syllabus.
Again back to tension and pressure. I have to start looking for a new job as I have already put down my paper on my current organization. Psychologically I am not feeling good, missing some thing..
Don’t know what..
to be honest, I am confused thinking what it is ??

After a long time I am gonna take a small break from work,studies , blogging and Orkutting. I am going home. I have been requesting for 10 days leave for along time. My senior management were finding it very difficult to approve that. As a last trial I applied my resignation.
On 1st May 2009, the day I got my Salary. I said I am leaving the company today and I am not planning to serve the notice period.
So my Team Lead fixed an appointment with my Manager and asked me to meet him.
When i went there as a Manager, at any cost he has prevent an employee leaving the company without any notice period. He advised that I will be terminated from the company and a termination is always a black mark in my career graph. Offered 15 days leave. I accepted that came home.
Now I am just like a free bird. Don’t have to worry about targets, upsells, CSAT bla.. bla. Next few days are for me replenish my health as my weight has fell down to 48 Kgs.
I will be back soon….

Its been a long time,since I logged in to this blog. I don’t know what happened to me. I was very much interested till last month. I am sick.
I have lost all my interests towards everything. What is Bothering me??
I don’t know. The answer for all questions is “I don’t know”.
I think the situation will be much better, if I can find a new job. I cannot leave the job also. Life will be difficult as I am used to earning my own for last 3 years. Lifestyle is something that we cannot change in a day time.
I have always thought, how my life brought me here. Now I am a guy with three years of work experience with A BCA Graduation at 20 Years of age. Earning a five digit salary. Though the way I selected was a bit tough and hard. At some of points, I have felt that I have taken the right decision.
When I was doing my tenth. I was planning to do atleast a B Tech in Computer science. I was studying in a private school(Lakshmi Narayana Vidya Nikethan) till my tenth standard.
I joined LNVN when I got promoted to seventh. Until 7th I was studying in a school ran by Muslim service trust. It was like 40 mins travel on school bus(as the whole students of that particular town was having a single school bus) from my house. I was having some sort of problems with my health that doctor asked to decrease traveling. LNVN was very near to my house only 1 or 1.5 Kms away.
So my mom(who is always a decision taken in my education cycle) decided to join me in LNVN.
Joined LNVN. I was shocked on getting my uniforms for LNVN. White shirt and Half trouser. I was adamant that I will not wear the Half trouser as I was having pants as uniform for my last school. My mom even went and saw the principal of LNVN to see if some thing can be adjusted regarding the uniform. Mom convinced someway saying that I just need to wear this half trouser for one year as from 8th standard onwards it will be ordinary pants. So i started going to school wearing the trousers that I never like. I used to run and hide some where when ever I saw my old school bus coming. One day unfortunately they saw me wearing half trousers and my old semi barbaric friends were shouting and teasing me. I felt humiliated. I went home made a big issue regarding this.
In our class we were around 20 students. As a class we were one. We never had gangism or a teamism in between us. Life went well. I felt crush on gal classmates and juniors(we were the senior most batch). Out of which two was very intensive. One was in my own class.She was a very meritorious, orthodox gal. I found it difficult to sit in class without her. The days on which she was absent was very boring. You know this is the first time I am revealing all these. I think I have spoke regarding this only to one of my friend who had a crush on another gal in our class. He didn’t wait so much. He went ahead and proposed her. Which exploded like a big atom bomb in the gals family and his family(actually he and that gal are relatives). He is still suffering the after effect of that atom bomb.
During the last days of LNVN I told my dream gal that i have got a gal in ma heart. She asked me who was that. I said I will not say that. She was walking behind to know who it was. After thinking for three days I showed her one of my junior after I making her promise me that she will not say the same to her.
When our tenth result came. My dream gal called me at 4 in the morning and asked how is my marks and gave me her stats. Which made me think that I have got some place in her heart
I was planning to propose my crush before leaving the school after tenth. But seeing all what happened To my friend I dropped the planning. you know why ?? We cannot predict how gals will think. After completing tenth she left the city in search of a good school and good entrance coaching center as her aim was very high. Now she has achieved her target is doing the studies as she dreamed. She is still a good friend of mine. We have good contacts through SMS and sometimes calls. When I think of that days now, it was really funny.
The other crush was my junior. She was fair,good looking,Short and she is from my own community(I am not getting in to castiesm or religion). My friends used to say that “If you are looking for a gal, propose her.She is a good match for you in all aspects.” But I have never got a good opportunity to speak to her.
One day I heard that one of my friend has a crush on her. So I kept mine hidden. So she was all rounder. She was did well in studies, extra curricular activities etc. I still remember her Cinematic dance wearing some white shiny Churidhar during the annual day celebrations.
She came with us for our final Excursion in tenth. The trip was amazing. After leaving LNVN. I never expected to see her.
One week back when I was browsing through one of the social networking websites. I saw some photos that was uploaded by one of my friends. The photo was taken on the occasion of their get together. I saw her on the photos. With no noticeable changes, the same gal. Today I got her online on Gtalk. Chated with her for 5 mins. t was very nice chatting to her.She asked what I am doing now and invited me to her college for doing my PG. Now no one is so important or too interested for me as “time” has did its duty well.
There is a concrete reason why i dint even try proposing a gal though i got enough opportunities. I will try to write that later that.I am short of time now and its already 6 o clock in the morning as I need to go to sleep so that i can wake up at least by 12 PM in the noon. What a life is this???

When I checked the mail today, I saw a birthday notification. When checked t was Firoz’s B’day today who is in UAE right now. First I thought I will send him a free message from Jaxtr. Then I thought why cant I go for a call? So i called him. He was sleeping then. Wished him Happy Birthday. You know he was very happy and very excited. He asked whether I still remember his Birthday. The days we spent together at our Kalamassery are unforgettable. He will be doing night shift and I will be doing the morning shift. He never allowed me to sleep well.
One day I abused him for the same and he started his sentiments as usual. His job changed to UAE was very fast that we never expected it so early. Though the change was very fast, he needed it. Being a 24 year old guy working for a bloody domestic call center cannot afford today’s living cost. He was having to support his father also. Now its around 6 months, I will call him every month probably ones in two weeks. I have always tried to allocate a good part of my mobile monthly budget for calling him.
When I called him today. He asked me what all things need if any of his friends are coming to India. To be truthful I was very happy and my heart was filled. You know why?? Though I have many relatives Abroad.No one has asked me what I wanted?I have never expected anything from anybody.But that simple question everything to strengten a good relation.This is where my friend Rakesh’s words come true. “Friends are always friends. We can say whatever we like and take any help from them. But if its from relatives we will always be a debtor to them. At any point of you can expect a shoot back”
