Thank You

When I was searching for job, I was attending many interviews.  I’d posted my resume in job portals which helped many companies to find my resume and call for interviews.  Apart from companies, many job consultancy firms also called and referred my resume to their clients.  One day, I got a call from a job consultancy firm.  They asked to attend a preliminary interview at their office. 

I was waiting at the reception hall after giving my name to the receptionist who was busy attending continuous phone calls.   While waiting, I finished filling up all the details about me and my education, etc. on the paper, the receptionist gave me.  Meanwhile I found a sign board ‘Wait until your turn comes’ telling me to be patient for waiting long.  Then came a girl and called my name.  Wow! what a beautiful girl she was! I was just astonished to see her beautiful, calm face and I was staring at her without blinking.  She was wearing a yellow chudidhar nicely stitched for her alone. She was slim with no marks on her face.  We can give full mark for her posture.  I came to earth when she called me again with a stress.  For the first time, I heard my name sounds so nice to me.  When a pretty girl calls your name, what music you need to listen to?

She started walking back to an office room.  I was not sure if I follow suit.  She responded to my hesitation with her eyes that said ‘just follow me’.  The room was a very small with about 20x10 feet in size.  She closed the doors of the room.  We were just two in that room.  We sat just opposite to each other with a round table in the middle keeping some distance between us.  We exchanged a few sights, uttering no word for a moment.

She asked me to give my Resume and gone through the top to bottom of whatever I’ve written.   Then she asked me some questions about my previous jobs.  After a while, she gave me a reference to attend the interview in a Company and forwarded my Resume.   She wished me all the best and left out of the room after giving me her Visiting Card.

As she suggested, I attended the interview.  I couldn’t get that job because of my qualification wasn’t enough for the post.  I thought to thank the girl for her reference and kind.  Since, I didn’t want to disturb her by calling in her busy work I had sent an SMS saying thanks for the reference.  After a while I received a call from her.  She inquired about my interview and ensured me that she would inform me if any other opportunities come in the future.   For the first time, I felt the value of words ‘Thank You’.  Since, I had thanked her for her help she came forward to say that she would help me.  When we show our gratitude towards people they respond in a very positive way.  It helps good relationships and better life for each other.

My Diwali Crackers

I couldn't control my excitement after seeing those crackers.  I even didn't know how it could make me happy.  That was the first time I remember to have seen the crackers.  That evening seemed so long.  I was waiting for the dusk to dawn for bursting the crackers that my father bought.  I was about 6 years old I remember.  I knew that it would make sounds.  He had bought a flower pot packet and couple of  pencil crackers.  My father hardly bought us crackers.  So, I was always excited about crackers.  The thought of bursting crackers itself woke me up so early in the morning.  Even before I brushed my teeth, I run to front of the house.  All I could see was those crackers leaving their last sparkles.  Yes, my father burst all the crackers and what left were only a few pencil crackers. I was disappointed.  And forgot that after I was my new dresses.  After some time, I went out to the street.  While walking along the street, I could see the crackers already burst lying on th

Man Race

It has been just a year went, everybody I see asks me this question "Does your child started speaking?" I wonder why people are in a hurry.  When I just completed my graduation, they asked me when I was going to get a job.  When I got a job, they asked me when I was going to get married.  When I finally got married, they asked me when I was going to have a baby.  They will never stop asking questions.  Are they really interested in your life?  Do they check your progress to compare with them.  Are they want us to run with others.  They mean it as settlement in life.  What after settlement? When I was studying school, I was always told to get higher ranks than our neighbors' children.  Getting a job that pays higher than your friends' or neighbors' is in the agenda.  Starting from building a house to settling our children is the way we have to live the life.     When you go off the way all the people are moving, they started to see you as a Monk.  When yo

The Interview

It is the time in between the dark and light.  The clock starts alarming exactly at 5.00 am.  Amir puts his hand on the clock to stop its alarm, his hands along with clock is vibrating.  Without any second thought he wakes up in a hurry just to avoid the sleeping mood unless he will fell asleep again as he does every day.  He opens the doors of window outside.  The street lights are still blinking, the sun rays are yet to come, few dogs are sleeping on the road platform, and he can hear the sounds of cuckoos.  Without passing any more time, he is to get ready for the day soon. Dressed up in the black pant and blue shirt Amir finishes the breakfast as fast as the time is running out for the interview.  This is the first interview call he receives after many months.  He has to get this job desperately as no more money left in his pocket.  He has to pay off the rent and other expenses as he stays alone in the city and it is becoming costlier day by day. It is the busy bus stop,
