My worst memory

I still remember the day when TCS came to our campus and recruited me along with a couple of my friends. I was very proud of myself that I could make it to TCS. I always used to doubt whether I will get a job in my life. But hopefully that day turned out to be mine. I always dreamed of joining that mighty family of Tatas who ruled the business of India.
The only question in my HR round.
Why do you want to join TCS?
My very prompt reply.
Sir, why not TCS. I always was inspired by Jamshedji Tata, who established Iron & Steel Industry in India during the British Rule in 1905. Still even after a century Tata’s empire still rules.

But my TCS dreams got shattered a while after. In my final year we had a core company named Synopsys visit our campus. If not for our Dean’s efforts we would not have got an opportunity to attend the interview. There were only two people who got selected, one being me. Me and one more friend of mine joined after a week on September 23, 2008 in Synopsys. I started getting Stipend during that period and everyone was happy for me.

Many of my friends were placed in various other companies. TCS delayed a bit in giving the date of joining and all my friends who got selected joined computer classes for learning Java, Oracle, Dotnet etc. One of my very close friends called me one day and asked for some financial help. He had to pay the fees for the course in which he joined. I promised him that I will help him and we agreed to meet near our office. But unfortunately my bank account got locked the previous day because of which I could not make any transactions and could not help him out. This is one of my worst memories. I am really very sorry ra for that. That day I was really helpless and I still feel bad for not helping you. But still you smiled at me. Proud to have a friend like you.
