April, 2011
She was 20 when she
completed her undergraduate degree and had couple of more degrees in her mind.
But before that she wanted to earn a little bit to be able to take an admission
in further courses. This led to the idea of taking up a job, no matter small or
big but to be able to stand independent further in her life because for her
being self sufficient and self dependent was on her top most priority.
Niharika, not a
middle town but a middle class girl of a metropolitan city was an ambitious
girl since her childhood. The high cost of living of the metro city
never allowed her family to spend even an extra penny on any luxurious items or
anything more than just meeting the ends. Although Niharika believed in flying high
but she never left her values and always kept her feet on ground. Thus she touched although
not great heights but a fairly appreciative level during her school days and
college days. She always managed to be among the rising stars of the school or the
college and made her parents feel proud on her. The level of expectation from
her was always high and she always managed to live upto the expectations of
everybody in her life.
Now was the time to
start a new life. A new challenge, a new phrase, a new turn of life was waiting
for her and soon she prepared herself for the same. Luckily just after
completing her graduation she got her first interview call. It was an
outsourcing company i.e. a KPO where she was supposed to look after the
expenses and payables in short the accounting work. Coming from a non- commerce background
it was somehow difficult for her to perform the job task easily on the other
hand the job was important for her because remaining ideal was not her cup of
tea. Somehow she managed to clear the written test. Now came the personal interview
session. She was tensed. Before her turn came, while sitting on the chair
outside the interview room she was wondering what was the only reason because of which she needed the
job so desperately. The reason was simple. It was not the carrier opportunity
she could see in that 8 to 5 job but the money. Yes !! she just wanted to do
the job for the sake of money.
Now when the
purpose of job was clear she focused on clearing the personal interview. She
looked here and there.Suddenly she heard two candidates talking in the corridors.
“Bhai, the interviewer is asking golden
rules of accounting from every candidate”. Now what was that crap “golden
rules of accounting”? How could anyone expect
from a science student to be able to tell those “golden rules of accounting”? But then she
did not have any option but to know them all. Hence she stood up and walked
towards those two candidates talking about those “golden rules of accounting”.
What are the golden
rules of accounting? Niharika asked politely from one of the candidate.
Niharika always carried a very powerful weapon along with her which helped a
lot while asking for help and that was her childlike smile and pleasant personality.
No matter what but she was always able to seek the attention of people around
her by her spontaneous actions and positive vibrations. The same attributes
helped her on that day as well. The other guy helped her remembering the golden
rules of accounting taking pride of being able to get in touch with a beautiful
lady no matter just for a short span of time.
Thus Niharika learnt the
said ‘golden rules of accounting” and felt more confident before entering into
the interview room.
