Of placement blues and the rest

There was a small mention of the placement scenario in the previous post.. I am not gonna give out any statistics.. But the fact remains that quite many of my classmates and friends are yet to get a job.. All of them are really frustrated.. Very badly dejected.. I was talking to a classmate of mine this morning.. Yesterday she went through the procedures of yet another company which dint take her in.. I was trying to console her saying everything will work out fine and she will get a job soon.. I was suggesting some companies that she could opt for that which would be coming to campus soon.. She went on with things like they might not be interested in my department people over some others or they might not prefer a girl.. And.. She finally came up with this.. " I don't wanna go on taking up the procedures when all that that happens is it becomes a big flop at the end.. I now realize I'm not good for any company.." I did try to pull her out of it and had some success too.. But the whole point is she is so badly depressed about not getting a job that she wants to stop trying and she thinks she is good for nothing..

That was not an isolated incident.. A few days back I was talking to another friend of mine.. He was telling me about the company that was going to visit campus the next day and how he is going to give it a shot though he is not very interested.. The talk went on like this with him talking about some of his friends who are studying really hard to get placed.. Me like a fool tried to tease him saying things like he not studying at all and not trying out many companies either.. N it got me into the worse.. He literally shot out a rude reply.. "I have tried for 8 companies so far and I'm not placed yet.. Happy??" He thought I was mocking at his state.. May be the timing was really wrong.. Though he is one of the most jovial guys around who is very much of a fun to be with, he is so dejected that even a small comment which was not even intended to hit on him was so hard for him to take that I got blasted.. I really regret now..

So many are in the same state.. Everywhere in college its the same.. Anyone you talk to they talk of companies and jobs.. People have started taking up options which they never had imagined a person half as good as them would take.. All for the sake of having something in hand.. some backup.. after all.. its better than nothing.. I really do hope and pray everything ends well..

With all this going on at one end.. I just happened to hear something from a classmate of mine yesterday.. One of the companies which all of us consider good had come down.. People were shortlisted for the interview process based on the written test.. There was to be a presentation and interviews after that.. And as the story goes as it was told to me.. One of those people who was selected for the interview.. Well.. The person missed it.. Can you imagine why.. No.. I'm very sure you can not come up with the reason.. He/She missed it because.. He/She had slept off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that!! By the way.. Did I mention it was a good company with a good profile and it offers 9lpa..

So far yet so near..

I'm very much into this habit of describing personal experiences in blog a bit too much.. Believe me I've tried to change it but in vain.. So I decided to stop feeling bad about it and just go on..

Today, as most of the days now, I did absolutely nothing.. I had no classes in the morning as some company had come down ( The placement scenario is very bad.. I earnestly wish my college retains its reputation.. But more on that later.. ) So the whole of the morning was spent doing nothing.. Well.. Not exactly.. For some good 1 hr I bugged my best friend with arbitrary non-sense.. Mom and bro are out of town and dad is at work.. I was just too lonely and my friend says that was the reason behind all my crap.. But I dont really know.. May be that.. Hmmm.. May be not.. But the facts remain that I blabbed and crapped and irritated him so badly that he should not be talking to me for the next 106 years.. But as he is destined to be, he had to bear all of it and more and still call me again in the evening and talk for quite sometime.. You see, he had to pull me out of my weird mood.. GOD!! How can he even put up with me so much is beyond my understanding.. I dont think I can..

Now.. Trust me.. I was a good girl in the evening.. I dint crap as much.. Atleast not along the lines I crapped in the morning.. For its a foregone conclusion that I crap.. Then we landed on this discussion..

Do long distance relationships last?? I dont really know.. I remember reading an artice about it in Times.. It says most long distance relationships dont last more because with a few minutes of talk everyday you assume the 24 hours of the person to be that good.. And when you get to know he/she is actually not that you dont want to be with that person who is very different from your imagination.. My friend says thats not really true for he knows every bit of his girl friend.. To shed more light on that note.. He knows what she does when she wakes up, how she likes to brush her teeth and when, he knows the laziness that goes into her bath, how she pulls herself along to work, what she does there for they talk whenever either if them is free(yes the other makes sure they get free) what she likes to eat, how she eats, how she drives, how she does this.. how she does that.. To how she dozes off to sleep the list seemed never ending.. Well.. It was.. He knows so much about her.. He knows her so damn well.. He knows what she wants.. He even knows what she would want..

Now I really do wonder.. If a person knows so much just by talking over the phone how great would they be when it comes to it that they are together.. I dont really know.. He says it would be all bliss... And...... I believe him..

Is this what is called love?? 2

I have already written something with the same title.. but.. as always..I could not come up with anything better.. well.. not even anything else.. so.. had to resort to this at last.. but unlike what it was last time this is pretty different..

Have you ever wondered what it is to be in a relationship.. that relationship which almost every college going guy n gal seems to be into.. at least a lot in my college do. Me and my friends discuss it a loads of times. How exactly do you define a relationship!! All of us talk to a many people of the opposite sex.. So.. what exactly differentiates this from a relationship.. Who would be your good friend and who your boy/gal friend..

I just got enlightened.. not exactly.. but.. sort of.. A peek into a conversation between one such lovey-dovey couple so much in love ( Hey I'm really sorry I am posting it here.. but realize.. its coz I found it just great ) Over a call...

She: Hey, guess where I'm right now..
He: Where dear
She: ...(explains the exact location)
He: hmmm.. what about it??
She: around 5 yrs back, in this very place I fell down from a cycle :(
He: OH MY GOODNESS!! U actually feel down from a cycle here.. oh my god oh my god.. that is so damn bad.. how did you fall?? oh my!! what happened??
She: I just feel down..But.. Nothing happened.. ha ha ha.. I was not injured a bit
He: yipeee GOOD GOOD GOOD.. nothing happened.. that is so very good sweetheart.. you dint get injured at all.. nice nice..
She: yeah.. so good right :)
He: yeah.. so damn good.. :) :)

Can you beat that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah??? You can?? Really?? Well.. then.. You must be in a relationship!!! :)

And They Lived Happily Ever After..

This is how every fairy tale ends.. And they lived happily ever after.. Getting to think about it no one really knows how they lived.. What is it to be happy.. Lately I realized I have this bad habit of getting to blogs when I'm not in a great mood.. I just type out something really random.. Well.. Erratic you see.. :) I was wondering what it would be to share those happy moments.. Not anything great.. But those small moments of happiness which crosses you every now and then.. Those times when you smiled and laughed for very small reasons.. When you dint think of any thing else and enjoyed that passing minute.. Well.. When life seemed all bliss..

It happens with me frequently these days.. When I am actually laughing forgetting that a whole world exists around me.. There are a lot of times when I talk to friends and there is some sweet talk.. Something emotional.. Something mushy as we choose to call it.. When you know someone loves you so much and will stand by you no matter what.. There are those times when you get happy for so many other reasons but people.. Success.. No.. Those are not what I'm talking about.. This is entirely different.. Something which is not important.. Something which you have never thought of as a source of happiness.. Yet that which made you talk.. Get enthusiastic.. And yes.. Forget the whole world..

I had one of those moments yesterday.. If I'm going to explain it, it would just seem immaterial.. The topic of discussion, you will see, was just too arbit.. We were talking of movies.. Well.. Kinda.. All those movies of yester years which I've liked.. Which he has enjoyed.. Those nice songs which gave us so much a sense exuberance.. Those songs which we still love to listen to.. Those cute scenes and dialogues which we have thought were best and still remember.. It was actually nothingness.. But we enjoyed it.. What made it the best was the fact that.. When I am about to start talking of some song which I still enjoy there he was talkign about it.. n.. When I say there is this movie in which.... he completes it with the very scene I was going to talk about.. It was mutual.. Of course.. N thats what made it better.. Hey.. Did you realize.. I had already mentioned it was the best.. N.. Here it is.. Better than that.. :)

All those ebullient talks.. Those talks with no inhibition whatsoever.. Those talks which have no sense or meaning but still is great fun and make you so very happy.. More so.. That feeling of knowing that some idiot exists on planet earth who is exactly as stupid and silly (not to mention weird) as you are.. Well.. Elysian..
