The results were now declared and 133 students were moving out of the C-Hall with a self respect enveloping their smiling faces. It was then that our PR, Suhal came to me and said, “I always knew that you were selected, coz I asked the panel to tell me just one student who was confirmed from CSE, and they said that it was the sardar jo poem sunakar gaya tha”
Yippppieee.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.. I did it!!!!
But it seems to be so simple to say that I cleard the written and then the interview.. Well, can it be so simple with this “simple guy”.. Of course not… So here goes a brief description!!!!
The Written Test:
The test which was to begin at 10 am in morning, finally begun at 8 p.m. Tired, broken we sat in the air conditioned lab to login into the TCS accounts for the online test. It finally started. The test was fine, with quants as easy as it could ever be. I completed the test when 85% of students sitting there were not even halfway through. But, even after completing the test the idle, Oops bizzy boy wasn’t allowed to move out until “another 15 minutes” as they said. There were 3-4 invigilators and one student placement incharge, Vasu, in the room. I was passing my time swinging on the merry go round chair.. passing smiles to Vasu to the invigilators and also helping the person sitting next to me with the test. It was then that one of the invigilators came to me and asked….
Invi: ”Chaye paani peyoge”
Me: No Sir Thank u So much :)
He went away only to come back after sometime and ask me my login Id number and name. Further he went ot the computer room, did some tik tik on the PC and came back with a bluffing smile on face.
Me: Sir do u have the results?
Invi: Wait for 10 mins.
Five minutes passed when there was a boy holding a tray of cups of tea for the invigilators.
Invi (to me): Have some tea..
Me: No Sir thank so much.
Invi (Bossingly) HAVE IT!!!
I had no option… The tea was good. But was over soon, and the energy I gained from tea was used again with swinging and smiling and talking….
Another person approached me…
Invi: Whats ur login Id and name.
I told him.. he again went to the computer room.. did some tik tik and was back again with some wolfish looks.. By this time my 7th sense told me that I’ll be disqualified coz of cheating or sumthin..
Few minutes passed when we were told that those who’ve done may leave the room, and those who wanna see the results may stay back.. I stayed back. The invigilator came to me yet again..
Invi: Why didn’t u leave.
Me: Sir I want to know the result.. nahi to aise hi subha takk latka rahega..
Invi: You don’t like suspense movies?
Me: Sir parde k us taraf hia chi lagti hain..
Invi: Aadat dal lo..
Me: yes sir I’ll be accustomed to it.
Invi: 3 mahine me aadat pad jayegi..
Finally.. the stage was all set for the results of the written test… the ‘suspense movie’ invi was standing with a list of selected students in his hand…I tried to take a sneak peak into the list but was stopped by that guy… behind him stood Vasu.. I asked Vasu if my name was there in list? He said NO!!! the answer remained the same no matter how many times I asked….
The suspense guy started speaking out the names. Officially my name had to be on top of list. But I didn’t hear it even after the list had ended.. Shocked!!! I approached that person…
Me: err… Sir….. my name isn’t there in the list?
Invi: No!
Me: Sir Are you sure?
Invi: Yes.. Why did u expect something else?
Me: yes Sir.. err… I thought I had cleared the test..
Invi: No you have not!
Me; Sir was it the cut off I didn’t clear or was it something else?
Invi: You didn’t clear the cut off..
Me: (Shocked! Confused! Don’t Know what!!!!)
By this time someone came to talk to him and I got a chance to get a lil view of the list he held in his hand…
Me: Sir But it seems that My name is there in the list…
Invi.. with the same old smile…. Held out the form in his hand… and says…
“So .. How was the movie…”
So I was to get ready for interview next morning.. :) Interview in next blog…
The guy met me again in corridors and asked…
“How was my Acting” to which I said… “Nothing better than that sir” :)
Yippppieee.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.. I did it!!!!
