A rough phase of life is definite to hit every single one over their lifespan and how well one reacts to those situation displays one’s willpower and the ability to sustain over the long run. And here is one such period in which the protagonist had to face some really hostile days.
The story rewinds back to a time in the past and is set in the hustle bustle capital city of Tamil Nadu, Chennai, where Vinesh is in his final leg of graduation. Well as I say it is from Tamil Nadu and as the protagonist is a male then for sure you should have guessed it by now that by default he is in the process of becoming an Engineer. Vinesh was well blessed with a great family, amazing friends, had a good paying job offer too, right before he even completed his studies and so he felt that life was being so generous with him. But, little did he anticipate the events to happen in the short run.
Graduation was over and he was eagerly waiting for the call letter to make his move into the corporate world. The initial few days’ right out of college, he gave himself a break and traveled back to New Delhi to spend some quality time with this family who were stationed there. Days flew by and there was no news from the company that had hired him. Very slowly it had started bothering him much and he could no longer accept being idle when most of his friends, who were all working with a different MNCs had already started working.
So, Vinesh packed his bags and decided to come back to Chennai,
with a great hope on the city that it would definitely lay a new path for him.
By the way that was his initial step towards success & the first lesson
that he learnt, i.e.
staying confident and having belief on your city, as it will never fail to
support those who come seeking for its help. Once again days in Chennai weren’t a piece of cakewalk as day in and day out was a total struggle. Normally his weekday starts off early in the morning,
dressed up well in formal attire and packing his backpack with all relevant
documents and multiple copies of CVs, as he heads out in searching for jobs,
hitting every single tech park of the city.
Just a small packet of biscuit is all that fuels him up for the rest of the day, and stepping in and out of companies submitting his profile across the cities was something that he never even dreamt off doing. But when reality hits you hard, you ought to do certain unimaginable stuffs right. Though no companies called back he never stopped submitting his profile. And on other days when there wasn’t any walk-in drives happening, he would stay back at home happily cooking food for his friends who shall return home after a long tiring day at work. So, over the dinner, everyone used to share their respective stories that happened over the day and Vinesh used to be a silent spectator listening to all the stories of his friends. Of course he enjoyed them initially, but over a period of time, it started having a negative effect within him. Depression was slowly eating him up and he did not wish to bother his friends by sharing his sadness with them. And neither did they understand his plight that they kept continuing with their everyday story.
Months flew swiftly and all those who had promised of helping
Vinesh in bagging a job went totally unresponsive. Here is where he learnt his
second most important lesson towards success. Nobody gives a fuck about your life, it’s only
you who will have to plan and work on chiseling it. It is after all an
artificial world, where relationships are all just faking out.
But, little did he knew that it was just a matter of few more month during which he had
to go through all the current mental struggles, before which the lessons learnt
actually will pay him off, though not permanently but as an interim break from the
present situation. So, ultimately the city didn’t fail to support him and neither did his attempts to
figure out a way go in vain.
