Piyush Paaji got a job at HDFC Bank

Although a blog is mostly meant for flushing out your emotions feelings happy thoughts the not so happy thoughts and stuff..

But this time something big has happened which has really moved me after a couple of days my friend Piyush has got a job at HDFC bank as a manager..

Every year thousand infact lakhs of people do MBA in India and they get jobs too I guess…. But I have a very fond history with Piyush .. people say that friends share happiness and sorrows together well in our case we had our own groups for most of the Happy parts at Engg college but we did share the big grievances of back papers together…!!!!!

People might pass on Piyush saying that he is Chotta Sardar and other rather derogatory comments J but the fact remains that I have not seen anyone else more self determined and more foolish then Piyush at most times… ooooohhh God he almost flunked half of his papers playing Pacman at his PC and he never even blinked in sorrow ..

He had the simple motto have fun !!! so when I left college after 4 years of study and 9 back papers which I passed somehow and also landed a job at Satyam J I was actually worried for Piyush that now who will kick his ass to study at least the least bit to clear all the papers ..

But honestly to my surprise Piyush cleared college after one semester and there he was at Hyd with me and we were searching a job for him … after some hit and misses he finally thought to settle in Idea call center for a while at some technical portfolio now here again a lots of people might have thought that he will never move forward in life form here… but just as it was about to come true he proved most wrong by landing in MBA at ICFAI (it is not the cream of colleges as most people said ki yahan to kisi ka bhi ho sakta hai !!!) but I knew somewhere that this time Piyush will not screw it as he knows that this was his last shot or as Gun’s N Roses better put it he was “Knockin at Heaven’s doors” !!!!!!

We have been in constant touch since then I talk to him at least twice in a month mostly to drop my credit card checks but there are some topics which I feel like that both of us just share with each other and that is what our friendship has always been about…

So Piyush calls me 2 days earlier and as soon as I heard his voice I knew that something miraculous has happened as I had never heard him so happy and his voice reminded me of mine on the day that I got my job !!! almost everyone gets a job but when the underdogs like us do it the happiness is more coz not only have we triumphed but we have also shut down thousand blabbering mouths!!!


So Cheers Paaji !!!!! Chak de Paathe !!!
