Is it my day??

Tik Tik..Tik.. every second was counted by me in the long wait..

Thursday 4:45pm, 24th May 2007

After the interview, in 3 days got a call from the Google HR, tht I cleared the interviews. But she added, still some process is there that need to be followed ( my transcripts, my achievements, feedback letters from ex-colleagues/professors)

Its been over a week I submitted my transcripts, Almost daily I was expecting the call. Yesterday saw my favorite black dress. I like to be in Black dress most of the times. But one day, Sowjanya (my wife) took me to a Swamiji, who suggested me not to wear any black dress. From then, when ever I wear black dress, my wife used to argue that all the bad things(even silly things) were due to the black dress. For her, gradually I stayed away from black dress. Recently I got a Black T-shift from Google. Thought of wearing it. Since the day was a expected day to listen from Google, I got fear to wear it. Yesterday night I had Amazon interview(telecon) also. There is a quote, "If u have fear of something, do it. Fear will go off.". So, dressed up as MAN-IN-BLACK. Waited the entire day, no mail/call from Google. No preparation for Amazon interview. At 9:30pm I had the telecon, being not in a mood to prepare for it, just went out for dinner and roamed till 9:20pm. Finally, the amazon guy called and rescheduled the interview to next day (today). Hm.. the day neighter turned out to be good nor bad. So could not conclude anything abt the black dress.


One week back, while submitting the transcripts I got to know that my another friend from IIT Bombay, Sourab Pratap also appeared Google Hyd the very next day to that of mine. He was the same guy who stood second in the written test results of MicroSoft-Oncampus test, where I was standing the first in the list. But due to very silly mistakes that I could have rectified easily, I lost the chance to get the offer. Sourab got the offer on the same day. This time also its Sourab's day. One hour back he mailed me saying he got the offer. Unfortunately, the internet was down, so I could not check the mails. Being not able to resist I just called up the google HR, Anuradha. She told me that, she will get back to me. Hope it will be my day also.

waiting.. waiting...

5:15pm
Thought of working, but no mood. Went for a walk. This type of waiting is exactly the same when I was waiting in the corredors of Infotech(the first company I worked), waiting for the results of Oracle. Its the same waiting I waited a night for Amazon till morning 5AM. In those two cases, I heard a good news that I got the offer. What happens this time is a suspense still...

If I dont get the offer from Google, I should get into Amazon/MicroSoft/DeShaw Hyderabad, inorder to settle in Hyderabad.

5:25pm
