The place, I call heaven

,
                                 
In my childhood days as like any other people I also had an idea about heaven as I am also from a holy family. My mother used to tell me a lot about heaven to inspire me to do good work in future.It is a kind of beautiful place where everybody over there are happy always and its a place far away above the real world.The people who worked well in his/her lifetime get a chance to be there after death.But as of now i don't believe in such a place far away from the real..But if this is the definition of a heaven then I will surely say my domicile as a heaven as I see.

When I started blogging since then I had a thought of writing something about such a place that gives me a lot and lots of childhood memories .Few days ago I came back from my village.The vivid colors and the golden periods of my life,the mild afternoon breeze and the memories of love and affection of the village peoples kept lingering in my mind till then and I can't just help me without writing something about the great place. 

Way back 24th of September,1989 a boy was lucky to born at Mundamari,a remote village of Paschim Medinipur and almost half an hour from kharagpur.It is the place which comprises not only of natural beauty but also of the kind hearten,simple human beings.Now I am writing something about the greatness of this place I had seen as I grew up in my childhood days.

It is difficult to capture the essence of such a place in a few words or even a few pictures, because what makes my village unique is more about what lies at the heart of the place than what lies at the surface of it.But when we do try to capture that essence in a few words, these are the words we that come frequently “A Place to Belong, A Place to Become,A heaven in real.” These phrases represent what we meant to be a man of that kind of place.

“A place to belong” represents the natural beauty of this place and the warm relation between the people lived there.Its a nice place to watch and to visit too though it is a very small place far away from a big city.Where the complete greenery make you feel afresh.If you are there you will feel its really a place to belong.Also it is "A place to become" and it is in the sense that when you are doing something good then not only you but the whole village is behind with you and that's what happened to me too.All the people can share success and failure of others though there are very few exception.This way a people can love other unconditionally.Beauty of this place and the simplicity of the people make this place as a heaven in real.I always feel lucky that I born in such a sweet place where all people loved me so much.

But I had to leave mu village after I passed my class 10th standard.Then I did not have any words to describe or better to say to feel.But today when I am writing I can feel the pain also because today I miss this place and the friends too much and I don't actually know whether I will be able to back there permanently or not
because I heard  the old,old man says "all that is beautiful drifts away like water" :(

An interview with the CGI people

                              
13th of March,2010 will be one of the memorable day in my life.The day I cracked the very first off-campus interview of my life.It is always an awesome feeling to be selected as many job as you are appeared for especially when it is an off-campus interview.

The company was CGI Information System and Management Consultants Pvt Ltd.I am not quite sure that you all are aware of this company before.It is one of the top software companies of Canada.Though I also never heard of the company before.But it is a pretty good company as I realized when I gone through the website of the company.As the package was not so better I was not so much interested to be there in kolkata for the interview.But few of my friends insist me to be there for the interview just to have a sort of experience about the off-campus interview as we had a  believe that an off campus interview always going to be a tough one.so last night we decided that we will be there for the interview.

So,the next day morning we went to the Astor hotel near at Park street, kolkata where the interview was supposed to held.It is a three star hotel and was good to have an interview lol.There was nothing to loose as I was sure that I will not going to join the company even if I got selected, but there was something to gain.That makes me much more confident because I knew that I am good at this kinda situation.There were people from JU,Durgapur NIT and BIT Meshra along with the BESU guys.

"The interview will be of four round"  hearing that my brain got encumbered as we used to have only two rounds of interview.But the process was faster enough.1st and the 2nd round was of Technical knowledge and last two rounds for the HR.I was in a mood of wash them out completely.Thank God ,in the very first round it happens fortunately as the guy started to ask me about my extra curricular activities and I completely out lashed him.I am sure that I got a very good certificate from that guy because the very next round was a complete mess but still I got selected for the HR rounds.And the next has nothing and finally I got selected.

The IPL cheerleader girls of Royal Challengers Bangalore were also in that hotel and we got a chance to meet with them.My process became over around 3:00 pm onwards.Honestly saying though I was not serious about the job but still its the joy of getting  selected let me forgot the tiredness of the hectic day.It was something good feeling.

As I said earlier in this very post that there was nothing to loose but something to gain that was what I thought before the interview but after the interview I got to realize that there were something to loose also when I was severely being drenched with the stuck from some well shaped biceps of my friends which were good enough to fracture few bones in my body.Still I will say its a very good experience and a huge confidence boost for me.
