--- i don really know if im alone… I am in the midst of a crowd of 600.. but still I feel left out.. I have great friends here, but y not a single companion? ..
There are several times when I just feel I don’t belong here. Don’t belong in this sect of society. I am pursuing an MBA. I want to be someone tomorrow, I do have dreams like most of us.. but is the path that iv chosen appropriate for me… will this path lead me to where I want to go..
… but arnt we all ‘destined’ to go somewhere?? DESTINY!!! If destiny was to actually exist, then isn’t everything just pre planned for each of us?? And if everything is preplanned for each of us .. then y do we even bother about the path we choose…. Then why am I sad?? If destiny was to actually exist, then I would certainly end up doing the right things in the world. Wouldn’t i?? I would certainly fulfill the reason for my existence in this world… But then again, is the hungry, deprived man who dies in the gutter, destined to do just that?? What was his purpose in this world?? To bear the cruelty which the world inflicts on him? I still seek answers…
I am young today. So the warmth in my blood asks me not to believe in destiny… ‘ I believe in carving my own destiny!!’ is what I say to myself ‘I don’t believe in anything so powerful, that it could control my life.. My future!!’ But then again, hasn’t life always proved me wrong?? Failure hits us so bad, that it makes us question ourselves, were we ever really in control of it??? Oh let me reframe that… ‘did we ever DESERVE it?!!!!!!!’ Have I not worked hard enough, not to deserve this?! I still seek answers…
A close friend of mine once said, happiness and sadness could never determine success or failure.. ‘So in that case, I am sad, however I may not have failed.’ Or have I??
I want to taste success once… just once…. And feel it.. and be happy about it…
All of this is just a pile of jumbled thoughts of a success deprived individual… May not make much sense to many, but if sme1 has smething to say, then your feedback is welcome...

One Day Job
A pure SIMS special this is. Now we 60 of us from the champion batch (by which I mean section C) of SIMS 08-10, were given the Mad Task of hitting the busy roads of Deccan or Aundh/baner (Pune), and find us a job for the day. An addition to this was that we’r not to spend a single rupee the entire day. So basically, we hitch-hike ourselves to the market, go from shop to shop, and ask them for a job for the day.
So 9.30am, my partner and I (as we were all to stay in couples) started the day by sticking our thumbs out to every four-wheeler passing by. Full Credit goes to my beautiful and charming partner Ms. Ann Louis that we managed to get ourselves a ride right upto aundh real soon. This heavy-set, grumpy man let us into his Tavera who for a second made us think that he’d actually charge us for the ride.
So then we began, our first target being Pizza Hut, Aundh. Money was already flashing in front of our eyes. The pile of tips increasing with every customer. Even The manager seemed really sweet and for a second we thought that we were so lucky that we would get our jobs in the first try. Oh man!!we were so wrong!! After we told him our story, he started talking about stuff like “ Sir, it is against the company policy to hire only for a single day” and all that jazz!! Off we went to our next target which was Crossword. At some point I believed that my knowledge of books coupled with my charming smile would certainly get us a job there. We were wrong again and so this continued till we realised that ran out of shops in the area. The disappointment was too much for us and we realised we had to change our entire strategy. By strategy I mean our location. The shop owners here seemed just so disinterested. So we hitchhiked our way to deccan then. After a couple of tries we struck gold.
Ms. Ann Louis and I finally charmed our way to getting a job at Docker’s, Junglee Maharaj Road. Our job entailed, mainly direct selling, and Telemarketing. We somehow convinced our manager Mr. Hashim to pay us Rs. 150 per head at the end of four hours which meant we had to be on our feet for four hours straight convincing people to buy shirts, trousers etc. and ofcourse inform them of all the schemes offered by Dockers. My first task was to make sure that every nook n corner of the showroom remained free of dust. So there I was ordering the housekeeping guy around to clean above the cupboards and below the racks. I was even arranging all the stacks of shirts and making sure every garment had a tag attached to it.
