Friends
Still at Pune. It is testing time for my patience and I don't know when this test would end. Today Shashi went to Amarnath directly from here after no result in last 4 days. Me and Hitu also went to Mumbai to change the mood and also for some meetings. It was good change for me too. Amongst some meetings, I had an opportunity to meet one Mr. Vijay Jain. The face was slightly known but could not recollect when and where I had met him earlier. Finally we both came to know that the meeting took place in 1992 when he was heading Finance & Accts. deptt. of a leading pharma company. I was meeting this man after 19 years. It was the time in 1992 when I was sent to this company to serve in accounts deptt. I could not get that job but the experience was most insulting and tortuous. On one side I was out of job since last 7 days and on this 8th day I was told that now you can join this firm. I came to the office of this company with full fire in belly as if I am the most lucky person. As soon I entered in the office, receptionist stopped and told to wait as she was not informed about my job. After half an hour and no response from any body, my fire just vaporised and after next two hours of waiting at the reception the depression could be seen easily by any body. Finally this person called me inside after 3 hours waiting and disapproved in 60 seconds. Then after another one hour the owner of the company came and told me his inability to keep in job. It was 2.00 pm and with tiffin in bag, I was without job again. Finally the person who sent me to this office, sent to another small firm who was kind enough to give me job. Not only this, the new employer first asked me to have lunch before doing anything in office. It was 4pm and the day had taught me lot. World is too small and any such incidences even if reminded after many decades shakes you. I returned back to pune after finishing the meetings.
