"The Day" turned out to be a day asking for a lot of patience from our side. A day which I was expecting to be "THE DAY", is about to end in 20 mins from now (maybe its over by the time I finish this), and has brought another week of sleepless nights.
Today, my dream company Google was supposed to visit our college to recruit students of our batch. So the day began with a lot of excitement (atleast for me, don't know bout others). I knew that there's not gonna be any interview today, but students will be shortlisted on the basis of their CVs and would be interviewed later. So here's how it all began::
Feb 8th 2008
0100 : I realised its a bit late, coz i hav to get up early in the morning so I went to bed
0400 : I checked out the time (oh its 4, and I am still awake)
0700 : mom came to my room and tried to wake me up. Usually this procedure takes approx 40-50 mins, but I think I never slept well the whole night. So I woke up instantly.
0800 : Though there was no electricity, still I managed to get ready, was getting restless. Read the newspaper, had breakfast
0845 : Left my place for college (I go via metro)
0945 : Reached college to notice nobody was there. Went to hostel to leave my luggage ( I am to shift back in hostel on Monday, when college reopens)
1000 : Went to TnP department with my frnd (who's also the coordinator there). A few ppl were already there.
1030 : The guy from Google appeared(named Nanjappa, i guess i spelled him right) in a very casual manner, he had a chat for about 15 mins in the office and then we went for the ppt.
1050 : After cracking a couple of jokes about his name, the ppt started. Went very regularly, the usual stuff we always read around about Google. Work benefits, salary package, Innovation at Work, History of Google, to name a few.
1200 : The ppt was over, without much interference.
After that he said that we need to submit our resume to TnP department and they'll forward it to Google for scrutinizing and results will be declared in a few days (these few days were not defined). The process which I thought would be completed in an hour there itself is now postponed for some appreciable amount of time. Lets see what's in the bag for me. All I can do right now is wait and spend some more sleepless nights. Looks like there's a little bit more time for my dream to get true.
You might be wondering I missed out the schedule of my rest of the 12 hrs. Well nothing much actually happened in next 12 hrs.
1215 : went to talk to a prof bout our major project
1300 : I had a chat with all my classmates who were present there today.
1430 : Back at home
1500 : Trying to make up for the sleepless night
1730 : Woke up and was really hungry, scanned for something in kitchen... had a little success there
1800 : watched tv (only scrolled channels actually)
1900 : wandered aimlessly
2000 : Chkd mails
2200 : dinner
2340 : started writing this post while chatting with 4 ppl
And the day is over. Infact its 0040 hrs here. Signing off for now..
