Well, another 10 days sped past without there being too many changes in life. Someone predicted that the beginning of the new year would bring about a ‘deflation in the spirit’. And the news came which I shared with you in my earlier post that my candidature was rejected. The HR, Sreeja confirmed the same and it was so disheartening that I spent the rest of the week mourning and morose since during these hard days – you never know when opportunity will knock at your door next.

There was another update to this episode when Twinkle came back to me the next day and impressed upon me the fact that this company has the habit of re-thinking and hiring the earlier ‘rejected’ candidate. Now, I recall Sreeja having mentioned that they are not going ahead with me ‘as of now’. I requested Twinke to place my CV for other suitable openings but I am not sure if she would. I didn’t get the chance to mull over the missed opportunity as there were other calls back to back. The second round went well but one never knows – they could be looking at more candidates. Last heard, we need to wait till this weekend before we hear anything further and HR has promised to keep me informed. Again, I am told that there would be a Solar eclipse somewhere in my chart around the 26th after which things are going to start improving.

On the personal front, there have been some occasions and family gatherings over the last 10 days. Piklu’s father-in laws passed away in the first week of this month (may his soul rest in peace) and his last rites were completed in Kolkata but the mourning period was completed with ceremonial get togethers. Thankfully, kaku and kakima were here to support the family during this hour. He visited us on the Sankranti day which we observed with the serving of traditional food. Aruna and Rajan have been visiting us often and all is not well with Rajan too as nothing has worked out so far.

The event of the month was our 12th wedding anniversary which is officially celebrated on the 19th. It was rather low key this time but friends were there throughout.

Well, other than that – life is quite normal – an even pace which I don’t enjoy. Hope I could do something to change things around ... any ideas?
