Phew!! its counselling time, and surat is the worst place to be during this time.People swarming from all over gujarat! And our "ongc parivaar" is so huge that you invariably end up knowing everyone through people.
Believe me, i havent answered so many phone calls and repeated the same things over and over again ever before. Feels like am the customer care of SVNIT !
Typical conversation:
Bakra: hello bhaiya, aap svnit mein padhte ho?
My Mind : nahi padhta nahi hu :-p, abey get to the point yaar!
My Tongue: ya, bolo?
bakra:accha, my rank is ***** and am getting XYZ inABC place, how is the college?
mind: abey mujhe kya pata mere baap..
tongue: ya the college is good.
Bakra: acha, mujhe surat bhi mil raha hai, and here am getting electronics, how is electronics here?
Mind: huh.. you have picked the wrong guy dude!
Tongue:its good if u have an aptitude for it(safe answer!)
Bakra:ok..what do you suggest i should go for?
Mind: stop it! am not your carreer counseller!
Tongue: depends what you want to be. all the top colleges are good.and job prospects are bright, so see where you will be comfortable.
Bakra: ok.thank you bhaiya..
Mind: thank you for ending this!
Tongue: no problem!
Don't get me wrong, its not tha i dont want to help these "children".. but it gets frustrating after a point of time! i have more important things like..aaa..preparing for cat..ahem ahem.. than comparing each and every branch of each and every college!
P.S.
ok. i have re read this post and i am sounding really really mean.. so i promise i'l be nicer to people who call me next time.And for those who have called earlier, my mind is sorry for being rude!
