Part 3 : Dreams Meets Reality

Becoming a engineer was just not enough to fulfill the dreams which Vishwas had seen since childhood,he needed the independence and financial stability to take a higher risk.It was 29th July 2009 Friday morning where he gets a mail stating "Your resume has been shortlisted for the position of an Analyst and your interview has been schedule for 1st August 2009 from ABC Technologies".Vishwas was very excited since it was his first opportunity after college to prove himself and make a mark in the corporate world.For the next 2 days until Monday 1st August 2009 Vishwas talked to himself for hours standing in front of the mirror and repeatedly saying "I am the best and I will crack the interview".This motivation went on for hours and hours.

Finally the interview day arrives, Vishwas dressed in a crisp formal attire enters the venue and to his surprise sees a crowd of 150 people for the same position and the vacancy was limited to single digit.Seeing a gathering of so many people the two day motivation session was about to go for a toss.Vishwas takes a deep breath and consoles himself once again that "He is the best" and enters the venue,finds a chair and settles himself.

The co-ordinators arrives and announces the entire process for the interview which consisted of 3 rounds,first one would be an aptitude,second would be a group discussion,third one would be a personal interview with the line managers. Vishwas chanting the mantra " I will crack it...." and building the confidence.

Round one starts and people enter a huge conference room for the aptitude.Seeing the crowd who came from diverse background which had CA,Engineers and MBA striving for the one position,Vishwas was scared but was confident that he will make it.The aptitude ends after an hour and each person in the crowd waiting for the results.The results are announced and out of 150,only 15 make it to the group discussion round which were ranked based on the score and Vishwas praying for his name to be announced gets a relief when he hears his name at the second last rank.

The co-ordinator takes the final call starting from candidate 1 for the GD and mark for their presence. Vishwas who was catching up his breath again sees a smooth silky hand with a Nokia N72 waving  and hears a chirpy voice "Yes Sir" for the presence at the call of candidate number 9. Vishwas was not able to take his eyes from that hand and he manages to get a glimpse of a girl in the crowd dressed in a blue stripped shirt,having black silky wavy hair curled at the end and colored blonde at the tip, carrying a black Nokia N72 and laughing in a group with her back towards Vishwas. For few seconds Vishwas actually forgot he was waiting for the interview and was wanting to crack the job and his eyes were stuck on the candidate number 9 just to get a glimpse of her again but was not able see as she was surrounded by many people.

Entering the room for the group discussion Vishwas mind was just hunting for candidate number 9.Vishwas counted the number of chairs in the room twice and identified which is number 9.He was just waiting for number 9 to get filled up and see who was that girl.Everyone is on the seat including the co-ordinator for the next round except for number 9.Vishwas eyes are still rolling and he was tempted to say to the co-ordinatoe that we should wait for the candidate number 9 but could not say as he would be competing with her for the same job and a voice at the door strikes the silence in the room "Sir,may I come in".All eyes move to the door and Vishwas eyes finally sees the candidate number 9,a cute looking girl with blue stripped shirt,black wavy hair with blonde color at the tip,hand as smooth as silk holding Nokia N72,a dimpled smile,lips which were strawberry pink, glittering eyes with a black kajal and a tigress walk with a don't care attitude.

Vishwas was stunned with her looks so much that in the entire group discussion he would have interrupted everyone to make a point in the discussion to the panel but never uttered a word when candidate number 9 spoke.He was just mesmerized with her so much that he started praying that he and candidate 9 should get the job.The day progressed, Vishwas and candidate number 9 along with 6 people made it to the final interview round.All other candidates were talking and introducing themselves to candidate number 9 but Vishwas didn't get the courage to talk to her and ask her name as well.He was just praying for himself and candidate number 9 now for the job because he was curious to know her,introduce himself and be a friend to her and this could happen only when they are in the same job else where they could meet again in this big world.

Final round results are announced and only 2 people out of 8 are selected for the position. Vishwas keeping his fingers crossed for himself and candidate number 9.The co-ordinators announces Mr.Vishwas and Miss.Muskan and leaves the conference room. Vishwas was happy for himself but was dejected because candidate number 9 was no where being seen in the room.The conference room gets empty and one voice comes from behind calling Vishwas "Excuse me mister,I was not there for the results could you let me know who got selected".Vishwas in a dejected manner without turning back responds Vishwas and Muskan and starts walking to the exit door.Suddenly he hears a big shout "Mummy I got selected".Vishwas recollecting the chirpy voice and turns back and sees candidate number 9 rejoicing.Vishwas gets a smile back on his face and takes a step forward introduces himself and says "Congratulations,Miss....." and she replies "the name is Muskan".

Someone who was in Vishwas's dreams and in his fairy world throughout these years came to reality and was standing in front of her as Muskan-the smile.

Part 2 : Vishwas - A day dreamer and a Wanderer

Vishwas, boy raised in a conservative middle class family of five including mother,father and 2 siblings. Vishwas was a reserved,short tempered but shared a special bonding with family where he could never think of going away from anyone. His child hood was not so very exciting. He was always in his own world,never had too many friends, didn't know what is the world outside.

Vishwas always dream't to do something unusual which no one would have done so far. His thoughts involved traveling at a lightening speed,developing something which could cure the deadliest diseases,developing a underwater route which could open at any corner of the world,exploring the world in space and understanding how the small insects communicate and survive.He was stupid in thinking the silly things but these were the fascination for him and a mystery to be understood.

Everyone here is for a purpose,you are the driver of your life and people are just temporary in your life so why to bother what they have to think about you; these school of  thoughts made him look stronger in front of everyone but from heart he was an emotional person who never showed his emotions to anyone not even his family. He was passionate to develop a name for himself and was of the view that money is a by product which would follow if you are good at something. He was self centered,passionate to do something different,and had his own school of thoughts which was different from the people around but never shared with anyone.

At a very tender age he was clear that he would be loyal to his better half,would work hard to achieve his dreams and make a name of his own and would always be living a life free from alcohol,smoking and any other habits which impact the health. He believed parents are always right and would respect them.He dream't to fulfill the dreams of his loved ones and not his own,live for them and have immense wealth so that his loved one never give a second thought before having anything expensive but was clear that he would drive his own life.

He was not an extraordinary person who had a genius brain  but what made him different was the race against himself rather than competing with anyone else.This attitude gave him the strength to try different things even when people around him showed a resistance and doubt about what he is up to for his own life.His love for numbers made him a so called "Average Computer Engineer" who may not know how a computer processor works and what computer brain could do, but who would definitely understand what the human brain and the human heart is capable of, if it chooses to do something.

An average engineer with determination and to do something different made him a wanderer in his life where he was constantly searching for something.That something for him, was a picture in his mind which he wanted to achieve for someone special and his search for the special one ended after 25 years.

The special one-Part 1

Every person comes into your life for a reason,they play their part and leave,what is left behind is an impact. An impact that would bring change in your life and the person who actually brings in a change is the one we call "Our special one".Vishwas found his special one after 25 years and he discovered himself with the special one.

The special one pulled the best out of him and he was driven to work and fulfill all the dreams of the special one.One smile of the special one meant the world to him.No matter how the day was,a 30 sec of interaction would wipe off all the worries and would bring the smile on his face.He understood what the special one was for him but was never able to express the same.The special one showed him what he was capable of,where he has to go and what he need to do.The special one just opened all the doors which were impossible for him till date.

The special one taught how to live in present,how to live in a moment, otherwise he was always a long term planner who never enjoyed what the present moment had for him and always dreamt what he wanted to do in future.The special one became the source of motivation to do everything and anything that seemed difficult to him .He knew what he had to achieve and his goal were much clear which he was day dreaming for almost 25 years because at the other end of the finish line he always saw the special one and that constantly made him run towards the finish line.

His life was having one point agenda to fulfill all the dreams and keep the smile on the special one at any cost even if it costs himself.
