The journey comes to a conclusion, it went past like a cigarette smoke
but taught a lot of lesson, made everybody of us a different person. As I look
back to those two eventful years’, there are certain individuals who
impressed/inspired/impacted my life in any or the other way. Let’s have a look:
SUSHIL: Positive & Pragmatic: He was the first one with whom I had a lengthy
conversation and since then we share good bonding between us. There comes a
natural respect from my side (not because of his age) because his logics have impressed me, his prudent way of deciding things impacted
me and his positivity inspired me.
I still remember and would
remember for long, that evening of November in Gurgaon when he made a first
round exit in S&P and when I came back after completing whole DAY-1
process; he was there ready for the next challenge. There was not a sense of regret
(although he and I felt really bad about it) and his face was as happy as he is
most of the times.
Next day, when he boarded a train
back to Indore from Delhi and I stayed there for the last interview round, I
consulted every answer with him in detail and he gave me proper and honest
feedbacks for that. That was the kindness
that is ingrained in him. Feel really
good to have him as a friend.
PRAVIN: Honest & Optimistic: This guy, cheerful and playful, like an
innocent kid, met me before entering into the college because we shared the
same CET Rank and Score. His Honesty has impressed me, his optimism has
inspired me and his happiness for others impacted me.
The sign of honesty was evident
in induction ceremony where he took the plunge and presented the whole sources
of revenue and its application openly on the Facebook page. It contained
details about where the money came from and where it flowed. Today, when a
handful of money can make you greedy, his gesture impressed me.
Apart from that, since we
prepared collectively for the placements, continuous rejections never allowed
him to stumble and he kept putting the hard work with the same gusto and hope.
The result was: He and Sushil, who faced
rejections, finally got the highest package. And that moment was blissful for
me.
ISHAN: Responsible & Helping: There are certain occasions where I considered
myself running away from responsibilities (and I have no shame in admitting
that because nobody is perfect), he is a man who shoulders responsibilities
with utmost determination and the same I observed at certain times.
With that, he is up for a help
not only to his close aids everybody who comes to him and ask for the same. The
best part is, he never yearns or craves recognition in lieu of the help he
offers which has become a characteristic of this self-centered world. A caveat though, don’t mess up with him, his
logics can tore you apart due to unstoppable laugh that comes along with them.
Well, he and Sushil are my close ones because they not only appreciate
me (which a lot of people do) but also criticize me for any wrong doing at my
face. (Which a lot of people do behind your back)
AYUSH: Jovial & Carefree: It is easy to pass jokes’ on
others, but tough to frame jokes on yourself and this is what this man does
without thinking anything. A plump looking guy, who always fails in nervous
90’s when it comes to his weight and screams loudly to silent the whole class,
his carefree nature and jovial attitude has sparked a fondness which makes us
very good friends.
There were times in the initial
days when I felt frustrated, totally out of sorts due to a tragic incident but
felt a sense of happiness seeing him and meeting him. Our meeting is incomplete
without a hug and I always believed that he might have been waging his own
battles, but never lets’ them come out in his behavior. I know his screams hurts but know him deeply, he is very emotional lad.
SANCHI: Cool and Composed: I had not known her from close
quarters’ till we performed in Induction and at placement times before that. A
diminutive girl with a giant smile on her face and mild voice, I feel envious
(in a positive sense) about her coolness and soft-spoken nature.
I still don’t know her fully but
considering “action speaks louder than
words” her actions have come under close observation and it has impressed
me. I remember her sitting outside the interview room, waiting for her chance
and juggling for the documents, she looked in no hurry. She might have been
feeling butterflies inside (which is quite natural) but that never came out on
her actions and face. I was awestruck because everybody of us were feeling the
heat but she was there, sitting calmly as if she has all the time in the world.
In the evening, when she was
selected, there was no craziness or
any unexpected reaction and she was totally cool like MS Dhoni was after
winning World Cup. This is highly admirable and I feel I have a lot to learn
from her.
CHANDAN: Keen to learn & helping: This is yet another
quality among all placement cell members’ which allows them to do their job
with high integrity and responsibility. Since the start of college days, we
shared good rapport with each other and that came to my rescue when he helped
me out by arranging mock interviews (in which I performed badly).
He (including all placement cell
members) considers his self-interest to be futile and work painstakingly for
the one who actually seems capable of getting a job. Circumventing your
self-interests and working for somebody’s good without asking for any kind of
recognition is something which impressed me.
Possessing good soft-skills, his
keenness to learn has inspired me because he doesn’t shy away in asking
questions if he feels the need to do so. You
can grow only by upgrading your knowledge constantly and he follows the
principle.
BHAGYASHRI: Bold & Upfront: It is always tough to get a job profile which suits your personality
but she has got the one. I was in a movie when the news of her selection
broke out but congratulated her instantly because I felt good about that. The
reason behind was the kind of personality she possess, it is a near perfect job
for her.
Her boldness and the frankness
(which is an essential ingredient of a marketing job) have impacted me and I
see her as a good communicator who will convince even a layman for the
products. We talk very often but there is something to learn from her and
that’s why I felt the need to add her in this blog.
