"So how are you going with the Lambs?", casually I asked her. "I am not very fond of food", she replied. I was surprised. I asked again, "I mean the book that I gave you? Charles and Mary Lamb?" "Oh. No, I haven't started it yet.", she shot back. Anxious, I persisted, "and the movie that I recommended to you? Pygmalion." I was about to add to the list of movies when she interrupted. "Look, I am right now preparing for GAT test. Only one week left and I have just reached the letter Q and still 2000 words left to be memorized". I gave it up. I would not be able to memorize 300 words in 300 years. But there she was, memorizing all those words.

And Yet I am Jobless
It
is said that there is no alternative to experience. I did not agree with that
until I learned it the hard way. After years of futile efforts and false hopes,
I did not get a job or a scholarship. As
far as I can remember, I have applied and been rejected for about 20 scholarships.
Moreover, I have been declined the same number of jobs over the past few years.
So I feel confident that in this physical universe that we inhabit, if there is
one person qualified enough to comment on the state of employment that should
be me. Now that all other options are exhausted, I thought of putting up my
case before you people and you should decide why I could not get anything
despite all my efforts? Here is my resume. Read it and then decide.
