I was excited to get my offer
letter.
Adobe my dream company had
hired me.
Two months later I got my
joining date.
I was asked to join within a
week in the city of dreams -Mumbai. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time
staying away from home. Nevertheless I was ready for the next experience of my
life.
It was my first day at the
training centre in Hiranandani which is considered as one of the most posh
areas of Mumbai.
Roman style architecture gives it a royal and classy look.

Our training centre was also
built on the same lines.
There were around 8th floors, each one of which had 4 training rooms.

My technology was Java whose
training rooms were on 4th floor.
There were around 30 people from my college and another 20 from NIT Bhopal who were part of the same batch.
As we entered the room all the faculties along with HR were waiting for us.

Shefali our HR escorted us to
an auditorium which was big enough for 100 people.
For the first 2 hours of induction
we were made aware about the do and don’ts in the training centre, our schedule
for the training and accommodation details.
Everyone was bored and was literally
feeling dizzy.
We were just waiting for the induction to end soon so that we could go to our training rooms.
But suddenly to our surprise, music made its way into the auditorium.
It was one of the most famous songs of the decade- Gangnam style.

I was delighted to be among top 5 but the final stage was the toughest one.
In the personality test we were asked to deal with a client and convince him for a business deal.

Finally when the name was
announced I was disheartened. It was Rahul who won the competition. We were
awarded similar points in all the sections expect grooming, where he scored
more than me. On pondering a bit I understood the reason.
The stubble on my face was the
culprit. My mom words started resonating in my ears
“Ankit, what jungle have you grown on your face. Learn to be a bit groomed”.
“Ankit, what jungle have you grown on your face. Learn to be a bit groomed”.
My ungroomed look led me to
the second position and made me miss an awesome opportunity. From that day I
took a pledge to shave regularly and stay groomed.
