After my downfall during my fifth grade, I never tried much again until I was given the chance to choose my college for my graduation. Having passed out with a pretty decent score of 95 plus. I felt like I had many many options in front of me and felt I can pursue my higher studies in any part of the world. But naah, things are not so easy as they seem to be, I tried my luck in a few colleges in Bangalore like St.Johns Medical college , Islamiah College etc only to know that they had closed their admissions for other states' students ( and this is what they call National Integrity and democracy ). I had to settle down with a college in my hometown which was definitely not a bad place but only that my dream could not get fulfilled. As I was nearing the last days of my engineering study, I made up mind that whatsoever, I would definitely land up with a great IT job in Bangalore, afterall it is the ' Silicon Valley of India '. I planned to prepare to my fullest and sat for several On-campus tests held by the IT majors and finally made through with two companies, one which was into ITES and another with IT. I would have always taken up IT as my career rather than handling calls for some U.S geeks and thanks to my lady luck again, as the IT company I chose had recruited me for their Hyderabad or Chennai location only and the ITES company which I did not choose had its operations in Bangalore, But I was not going to take up defeat and having the liberty in hand of leaving a ITES job without any restrictions, I took up my ITES job to try my luck in Bangalore . But God was not sleeping, how could he allow me to rest in peace in Bangalore??? He made me fail in my final accent training (Accent which means we gotto mime those US jerks as much as we can) inspite of excelling the training class(Miming Class) all the time. I meanwhile even tried my luck in another IT major and passed the inerviews too but alas again I never got my job call still now, and I am still waiting :-).So I had to get back to my preselected and predestined IT job in Hyderabad with ' no looking back' and with a hope that I can always request for a relocation to Bangalore from Hyderabad once when I am done with my initial trainings and let me tell you, its almost two years since the trainings got over and I am still trying, not that I did not get even a single chance for relocation, I did get 17 chances and I and my destiny failed in all of them. You might call it as my locus of control but 17 times is rather too much,makes me remind of history acclaim of Mohammed Ghazini for his 17 attempts too. Every single person who did not wanna go there was made to go but not me, I understood this is called destiny. Can you believe that a city which has more than 10 lakhs IT employees cant accomodate a single soul of mine? I sometimes think it is this craze and craving for the city which keeps me away but I must admit my craving just does not lessens anyday and having my most loved ones in the city which includes my family and my special friend :-0 ) I just cant stop looking back and forward for any chance of my relocation to Bangalore.
Now I have redefined my dreams a little more, Now I plan to marry a guy who is a Bangalorean and I am hoping to settle in there atleast that way. Mom and Dad , are you listening????..................:-) :-)
