Documenting this Journey of #Life – 5 Years at an Organisation, I thought I would Never Join!


Hey Guys!!!

Hope you all are doing fine! I’m back again this Sunday with a purpose to share an insight of my life.

What can happen in 5 Years?

Someone can Graduate, a child learns to be self sustained. Well a lot can happen in 5 Years.  One such instance is here…

5 Years ago,

Yes, it all began 5 years ago in 2015. I graduated from St. Xavier’s Mapusa – Goa headed towards a new journey, not knowing what I will be doing nor understanding how challenging the life circumstances would be. But I knew what ever I will be doing, I would be the best version of myself.

Rewind to 5 Years Back

And I was told we will call you once your exams are done (Our Final Year Practical Exams were pending and were suppose to end by April End) I still remember that day, I came out after the interview and met my HOD who was waiting outside like an anxious parent – who would wait to hear how their child did during exam.  So I told her directly, this person asked me a basic question, And I was like – I will never work in this place.

2 x Fast Forward

Exams were over and we were on a break! Well after that interview, I did attend a couple of interviews in different places too as I was very firm that I will not be working there. And what was amazing was, I got selected in all the other places but somehow I wasn’t so keen on taking up the job, something kept me waiting, like something within me.
