Why do I need a GF??

Hi guys. Two persons who provoked (actually inspired ) me to wite a post on this title are,
1. A guy from MS (aama, Microsoft thaan)who ‘explained’ (tried to brainwash) saying the following bullshit,
“De, gal fren illana yaarum madhikka mattanga da…appa thaan company la namakkum oru gethu irukkum…Modhalla oru gal fren pudi”(Where to catch!!!)
2. Another was from Honeywell who decried me to the core when he heard that I don’t have any girl friends. His immediate reply was “WTF did you do in you fours college life, dude?!!” .

Now back to the title. The above two guys represent almost 99% of today’s youth belonging to a corporate world, who think that having a girl friend is like claiming accolades, the more you claim , the more famous you become..!! Also this post is not meant to offend people who are having girlfriend/s or not to support the rest 1% of the society who doesn’t have any GF, this is just purely my views on this title.

These people really don’t understand the meaning of the girl friend, do they?!. Anyways just wanted to show off some comparison strategies on how people change their mind over the years and guys turn to dudes.

Guy1: Hey, what was your grade in the science paper? I got an A+ .
Guy2: Hmmm….I got only an A .

Dude1: Hey dude.. wassup? I moved onto my fourth GF.
Dude2: Ha ha..You silly..I am onto double figures…!!!

OMG.. WTH is happening to you people? I am not complaing about you people having your ‘own’ girfriends and ‘enjoying’ life but it is your “No girlfriend-No enjoyment” attitude I am complaining about. I still don’t understand the proper meaning of ‘girlfriend’. According to me , She is ‘the’ very special friend to whom you share your intimate secrects and emotions of life and expecting her to reciprocate the same. (This is just my definition!).

But here the definition I heard from the 2nd guy, “Look for a good looking girl(If hot, it is better!!) Get her phone number. Chat with her. Then go out with her. Go to movie , CCD,McD,etc.. Put SMS booster. If the time period of 6 months is over, then start complaining and move on…!!(This is what is called MOVING ON after a breakup.) ” He ended his philosophical note with a punch, “GF are like medicines. They come with expiry date..”. (Sorry for having censored some more activities mentioned by him!!).
The one point I would like to stress upon is, “You can still enjoy your life even if you fall in the rest (defined as unlucky) 1% of the society without a Girl friend..!”. GFs never fall under the essentials/necessary category.

P.S : This post was not the result of my frustration in not having a GF, but just my views on this title.

P.P.S: @Good looking gals: This doesn’t mean I am not interested in having a girlfriend. My door is always open. Feel free to contact me anytime . :P :P !!

Something Big is waiting for you!!!

Before I start off expressing my views on the title, I wanted to ask everyone this question. Does the title mean just some words of encouragement for a person who has meet only failures in the past or words of truth. I also wanted to know if the following equation is correct,

Series of Failures ---> Big Victory

Does a series of failures mean that you ‘deserve’ to get something big?? On a funnier note, after losing out past 2 IPL’s (being table ‘bottomers’) did KKR make a impression in the third one? Did they get something big? (KKR fans still hope that KKR will win IPL-4!! Silly guys..:P)

Anyways coming back to the topic, I choose this topic because I had heard this title almost 11 times from each one of them.(Yeah.. Correct..I got placed in my 11th interview). After giving it a serious thought, I thought of just posting my own views on this issue. I personally that, ‘Something Big is waiting for you!!!’ are partially both (true and mere encouragement).. Because thought they sound like mere words of encouragement (they are, in fact) they are partly true. After coming across a series of failures, you get tougher day by day and also your dreams start diminishing and finally the day when you actually ‘win’ arrives, you feel that you have a achieved a dream of your lifetime however small your victory may seem. Yes. I felt the same way when I got into CTS after attending a series of Interviews (failures!! Well, both are same in my case..). I felt very happy cuz finally some company hired me and has given me a job (Atlas!!). CTS gave me what others refused to give me. By the time I attended CTS, I had settled for a ‘OK’ company with a decent salary which was perfectly filled by CTS.

Yeah. That victory was very big to me. I got something big. I got a JOB!!! I started off my ‘placement-search’ journey believing the title to be a lame statement, ended up in believing the same as some words of pure gold. I also really don’t agree with the part , where we start blaming FATE for you-not-getting the job. If you get a tough panel, “FATE”. If you don’t know the answer to the question asked, “FATE”. Even if your WHITE shirt gets a little dirty, “Hello, FATE!!”. Come on. Give the “Fate” a little break guys. (To be honest , I was ALSO a believer of fate.. not anymore). I started realising my mistakes I did and understand the process of interviewing. After that I started to show my dear old enemy, Mr.Fate a tough fight before losing out.Our Placement taught me something more important in life rather than C, C++,blah blah… It taught me patience, perseverance and more importantly how to fight fate!!

Bye guys. I gotta go. Something big is waiting for me..Yeah.. Company Cab!!!

P.S: After a series of my personal blah’s, I thought of writing something serious. Hence this one..!!
