CHAPTER 13: The Saga Continues?
After 3 Years …
Ragav got into one of the top MNC in India
after engineering through college campus recruitment. Most of the MNC are very
strict to their recruiting methods, some seek for the just coding capability in
the fresher and some seek multi talents i.e. you have to strong in every aspect
of engineering subjects along with extracurricular activities. Just like the
other MNCs, Ragav was also given an initial basic training because IT companies
are not confident enough with any of new comers and are never satisfied with
what you learn in engineering life.
First day at training is always ‘An
Introduction’ where you are introduced to many of fresher across whole country
who will be undergoing the same learning process for upcoming days. Along with
their personal introduction everyone had to speak about ‘Role Model in their life’
in front of whole class, the next turn was for Ragav. He was whole confident
that he will impress the class as he knew the Key points to deliver speech that
he learnt in his engineering career…
“ 1.
Getting audience attention.
2. Perfect Introduction.
3. Speak about something that YOU are interested
in.
4. Eye Contact with the audience.
5. Use appropriate hand gestures and body
language. “
Ragav got the hold of the mic and saw his audiences
in really dull state, some were bored with this Intro thing, some maybe
thinking “When will I get the snacks?” “When will this get over?” “Where will I
find a new PG?” “How will I clear all the test?” “What will I buy from my first
salary?” and many more imaginary concepts that you can never imagine.
“Good Morning” no response from the crowd
Raised his voice a bit “Good Morning
Everyone!”. Yes he got everyone’s attention from their respective daydream.
“ Hello I’m Ragav from Kerala. I completed
my education from KITs College of Engineeing from Kolhapur. And I’m True Indian!”
“The reason behind the True Indian is that I was born in Madhya Pradesh which is considered as heart of
India… brought up in Maharashtra.. but my native is Kerala”
With this short intro everyone seemed to be
amazed and were listening to him carefully
“About my hobbies… I love listening to Music…
and I’m a blogger! I have my own blog about an Engineering guy how did he
became an Engineer” till now he was going good.
“Next thing about my Role Model in Life. My
Role Model in my life is founder of FaceBook Mark Zukerburg ”. FaceBook which is considered the soft corer of
every student in this century and is the most interesting topic. Till now Ragav
was fine and was on the right track for perfect speech. Minding the key point “Eye
Contact” in mind which is most difficult, where you have to look at your audience,who
are eagerly staring and listening to what rubbish your are speaking. This is
how you get sometimes fooled by wrong politicians and market sellers.
Ragav “Mark Zuckerberg is an American
computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur… and …” as he was about to say the
next, he saw a girl sitting in front row with sparkling eyes eagerly listening
to him. A snub nose, full pink lips - she seemed the picture of perfection. Her
hazel eyes framed by long lashes were the only thing that caught his attention.
Ragav still confused “ …and.. hmmm … Mark you are beautiful!” with
this statement the whole class burst into laughter. Once Napoleon said “Think
twice before you speak, because your words and influence plant the seed of
either success or failure in the mind of another” Wait a sec on the contrary
Evan Esar have stated “Think twice before you speak you'd be able to say
something more insulting”.
Ragav “… sorry about that.. I was saying
Mark is one of the best IT engineer in this century…” regained his lost conscious
and finished his speech. Returning to his seat still embarrassed with his
speech he was thinking “DUDE what was that? Who is she? She is so beautiful… I should
get in touch with her… but will she accept me? What if she is already engaged… NO
I should concentrate on my career… Is this love at first sight?” with all the
thoughts still running in his head she stood up and started her speech
“Hello Friends I’m Shreya Mathews from
Mumbai…”
Ragav still day dreaming “Shreya … nice
name… Shreya Mathews… may be from Kerala… from Mumbai… cool! Ragav don’t you
think we had enough love troubles in Engineering? What if she is the one for
you? What if she from different caste? Will our parents accept our
relationship?” Human Mind and a ladder go hand in hand, brain always says to
think about the first step but by the time mind have reached to the top of
ladder.
