The room was silent and calm and the only sound being produced was by the ticking of the small alarm clock. Raj laid on the bed all depressed and dejected. It was his 7th interview rejection. Being one of the best programmers of the college, everyone had great expectations from him. Yet he was lying there without a job when 80% of the college had got placed. He never thought that all his hard-work would fail just because he was shy and lacked in communication skills. Making out till the last round of all the companies, he was rejected by the HR team. He had been trying very hard, conversing all the time in English but it was not yet sufficient. Every dream job had already rejected him and this was almost his last on-campus opportunity to get a job of his capability. He had been preparing all for the HR round from past few weeks.
The coordinator came to announce the result and his name was
not there for the HR round. This time he missed to qualify the technical one.
Shouts and hustle coming from outside the room were signaling that the results were out. Few more can now relax and enjoy the rest of their college life. He hated everyone who had the placement for he knew, he deserved
more than any of them. The door swung open and in came Ishant. He tried but faked a smile
for him as he knew the reason for his shining face. He had not opened the mail
to see the total number of people selected but he didn't even care nor did he
ask. Ishant kept in-front of him the packet of sweets. He wished to throw them
away. He was so jealous of him and cursed him to bring sweets in the flick of time just after the announcement of results. He tore a small bit of sweets and stretched his lips
even more.
“Take more. Finally, the bro got placed.”
“Yeah, congratulations to you.”
“Oye! Idiot. I am already placed, it’s you who got the
placement.”
He rushed to the laptop screen and clicked on the new mail
flashing on the screen. There was his name on the top.
