Door knocked, it was 7:30 in the morning, my laptop still open, playing The Dark Knight. It was Anand, waking me up because he has to go for the GD of IBM. I couldn't able to sleep last night, however I woke up for him. He was very happy because he had cleared two rounds of IBM campus test. Anyone can notice the joy of it in his face and it was obvious too. He is one of the 9 student in Planning and one of 118 student from, i guess, 500 of MANIT who made to the GD round.
While wearing formals he was like "This is the first and last time I am wearing this. I don't think I will get another opportunity to wear this again". He borrowed my belt, I made his tie and we are ready to go. It was Saturday and there was bread in the breakfast. I ate four of them, he ate nothing, might be because he was nervous or he don't like bread, I don't know.
Many things happened before and after the GD, I don't want to indulge in that. Let me directly jump to the result. Praying for him outside the door of C-208 and he came with a dull face. That was a rejection. He was upset, everyone would be, but he was not that concerned. We went to hostel quietly, while many thoughts were going in my mind, which happens to me always. Some of them were:
1. I don't wake up so early in the morning for my own work and will never when I slept at 5am, but still I woke up for him. Does he will do the same for me?
2. He should get selected, he was so much into it. It was like a dream come true for him. Why didn't he get selected?
And the answer I get are:
1. You shouldn't expect anything from those people, to whom you had done something. You had done something for them because they have some value in your life. If you want something back then better don't do anything.
2. Sometime it doesn't matter you made it or not, you gave it a try, that is enough. And really he was happy because he cleared the first two rounds, that was enough reason for him to be happy.
