Lust for the best

When my placement co-ordinator announced that I am selected in Infy, the first question that came to my mind was "Am I worth it?" because deep down I knew that I was not! U ask me the name of 5 oceans and I will open my mouth, ask me to name 3 mountains and I will look at you as if you sliced my neck! Offcourse, I am no smarter than a Paanchvi Pass.. Just a run of luck has placed me where I am, otherwise the farms of Bihar were always open for me!!
Ok Fine. I accept it. I was lucky.. So can I lead a normal life now? Take home my salary and spend half of that on chicken biryani to satisfy my large tummy? Mandal, figured it out very early..NO.. 'U have a lust for the best', he said.. well I dont think so...
But wait, was he right? Why I fell for the most beautiful girl in my college? Why do I keep testing the application till it starts crying.. Why do I overhaul the whole store before choosing a T-shirt? Why was she the most beautiful girl on earth...
Okei, So this bug is sitting deep inside me and the worst part is, there exists no code-Fix!!
I thought I would hide this unique problem from everybody but then the bug came out again, last year!!
After working for a couple of yrs in Infosys, I figured out that even my cubicle has not changed during that time, nor my application and nor the salary!! The best part was that, with high probability, they were not gonna change till decades to come.. So lets join the rat race..MBA!!
Got selected in a college for which lakhs of people die.. but No..the bug exists!
Started it all over again and here I am - Resting my bum over 16 calls and waiting to get selected in one!! But gosh, thats what u call *** on fire!! The tension right now is unsettling and the pressure, only I know.. worst thing in this world are others expectations..
and the icing on the cake is - they ask - Why do you want to do an MBA??
FMS- the college I always wanted to be in (Yes, its the best one!). 27th March, I will appear for my FMS interviews..probably, it will be the biggest day of my life!!
Want that lust to come all over me that day and bring out the best.. Will I make it.. well, lets see.. Farms of Bihar were never a bad option!!
