MS Lost :: life at a halt

I felt that I could make it to Microsoft...... an oppurtunity that came and which I had to convert. Moreover, ppl around me made me feel i could make it thru and i was carried away ..................miles away...............

Prepared for it ........... studied more than I would do for my University exams. Pushed myself to limits .... for the first time I read in library till the watchman would come to close the doors.. 9.00 in the night

Then came the day....12th August Aptitude test and presentation for Microsoft.
They recruited 7 students from our college last year and that probably made me more comfortable. Decent presentation and handsome salary of 8.5 lakhs. Everyone's eyes sparkled, it seemed so, however Cisco had come before with a packege of 7.5 L so not surprising though.
During the presentation HR said he's looking for ppl who r married to technology and they wld not ask stupid questions like 'wht is son's age if father is............' and that the test wld be techincal; I was at ease coz I knew that I cld not compete with ppl preparing for CAT in quant.

First Section : QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE 40 m 40 min
Surprised ,I was shocked.. I cld hrdly solve 10-12 quetions in the alloted time as i am not a speedy person at doin thins and tensed mindset

I felt paniky thnks to the scores of mistakes and ambiguties that the paper had.

Second Section : C/C++
There was a question which said 'What does this statement mean?'
And nothing else...........Now is this what u call Microsoft Paper?

Then OS
Here even more blunder......... there is question which asks 'what is it if page faults occur too often in a process' Ans : Thrashing
And for the ppl who din know it was provided just after 2 questions which said "If page faults occur too often, it is called thrashing.What does it lead to?" Aren't they being generous..............................................too soft at heart, rt.

Then DBMS
God's grace this section had no beauties like above

And their partners were the gr8 test organisers 'Merittrac', who dun even know that one shld not rely on the internet when an offline test is possible. How do corporates trust them??????????????????????/

But the thing that is the reality and will remain is that I could not clear the MS test.

I felt miserable, I cried- I dun know why?
Mhatre said "Anuj, God has a PLAN".
and I said "What plan yaaar ? "

I'm still waiting and will be waiting for the plan to realise ............ I even dun know if he has one ?

Life continues as usual , College and friends and Project and assignments, etc but something id really missing - I dun know what

HOPE TO FIND IT SOON........

MAY ALL OF EVERYONE'S DREAMS COME TRUE
