Huge political disappointment, great food and things start to work out.

Now, I have to admit, January 6th has to be the most important day in the month. For some, probably more than   their birthdays and anniversaries. Yes, it's the dejected masses of the region of Telangana I'm talking about. As most of India waited with bated breath about the decision of the Srikrishna committee, the people here had the most palpable tension of their lives. 

I'm no expert when it comes to dealing with political drama, but I can say that people look genuinely disappointed. And why shouldn't they be? A student lost his life for the cause, people lost careers, and the common man also wants for the bifurcation to happen desperately, and he hopes to get out of this nuisance as soon as possible!! 

Water, it seems, is the root of all problems in that region. Water is necessary for cultivation, leading to cultivation, production, development and god knows what next. Tomorrow I'm going to look at my wash basin and think for a while whether water really can cause so much trouble, apart from a natural calamity.

Thus came the result favoring unification. Paramilitary forces are up in full bandobust, ready to fire rubber bullets at miscreants. KCR still stands firm on his resolve on getting a separate state. Hats off man, hope this really happens, for better or worse. We just need you to stop disrupting normal life.

The week until now had been quite slow, but things started to look brighter suddenly. On one side, the Srikrishna committee had submitted the 505 page report of their "11 month study on the society of the region in question" blah blah, and on the other I was having the boredom of my life. It was not until yesterday that I had experienced the surprise of my life. It happened like this : 

I went to the college as usual. As I entered the class, Rahul asked me "dude, you writing the exam ??"

Me: "What exam dude!?!" (The last thing I needed on a slow day was a subject exam)

Rahul: "Sujana group is gonna conduct a placement exam today. Didn't you know ??"

Me: "No dude !!"

Now I acted surprised, as I stopped showing interest in placement drives after my Mahindra Satyam fiasco. Back to the conversation with Rahul....

Me: "Dude, what's the pattern of the paper??"

Rahul: " 20 questions technical, 10 questions logical reasoning."

Me: "Fair deal, I think I'll attempt it."

I was supposed to attend my comprehensive viva-voce, where the panel will ask questions from subjects right from my first year of engineering. It was only fair that I attend this test, I could at least know where I'm good in.

Thus started the test, and after that we were called for a group discussion, where I spoke like I was in my element. The results came out, and I was selected for the HR interview.

I looked at myself. Tshirt, jeans, Woodland shoes, and to top it all, no resume. I never expected myself to get till this stage. Then, I spotted someone who could actually be mainly responsible for my job....

Me: "Raghav bhai!! Gaadi laaya kya??"

Raghav: "Haan re. Why??"

Me: " Yaar, I got selected for the final round. I don't have my resume, nor do I look appropriately dressed. Ghar paas me hi hai. Will you take me there and get me back here??"

Raghav: "Sure! Let's go!!"

And that's how we both went in his car to my place, which is about 7 kilometers from my college. In 30 minutes, I was transformed from a regular fuzzy looking, just-out-of-bed type collegiate to a smartly-dressed-for-an-interview collegiate. 

Interview went pretty well, and I was among the 4 people selected for a final technical interview, which is in about a month. It's basically a core company for my branch, so I guess I'd be more than happy to be a part of it in the long run. Thanks a lot Raghav!!

A day passed and I suddenly realized that it's been a long while since I actually made my food and ate it. After living on a pizza, burger, tandoori roti and biryani for about a week, I made it a point to make a hot, steaming dinner for myself. Thus I made a typical southie dinner for myself, and I was instantly experiencing heaven. Yamaraj would feel so much lajja on seeing me in such a heavenly mood, he would have left me to my indulgence.

So there ends my stuff as of today. Project will start soon, and I'm looking forward to really start working seriously for it. Cheers! =]
