Selva. One of my dear pals. Got a call from him today. He has got an offer from one of the technology consulting & outsourcing giants. He was on cloud nine. Before I go any further, let me give you a quick briefing on Selva. He is a 5 foot person with weighing not more than 60 kilos. Keep changing his hairstyle and dressing sense. Born and brought up in Dindugal (Down South in Tamil Nadu), he is a very easy going fellow. He was one of my college mates. We shared the same major. His academic skills were awesome. Though he was from a tamil medium school, he consistently scored above 80% in each semester, a skill which I still adore. Some of the things I liked about him are: He never sleeps much, When it comes to responsibilities – he is way ahead of all of us, when it comes to studies – he would concentrate so much that you won’t find single MM of nails left in his fingers, he is very much attached to his parents, keeps his mother in good humour by doing mock calls and so on.

Having said all these, he was the last fellow to earn a carrier. It was nearly a year and above after graduation that he got a job. Every time he called me up, every time we (Me, Mom & Dad) discussed above Selva, we would question ourselves “Why not Selva? SO much academic skills, so much adorable behaviour, so easy to mingle, yet not a good carrier. Why ?” This call from him has answered all the questions. Sometimes God gives you what you ask for. Sometime, He asks you to wait, take some time and gives you a better one. Sometimes, He makes you wait a bit longer, and gives you the BEST. That’s is how I treat this offer to you Selva. God has given you the best. Make the most of it. Tons of wishes to you my dear friend.  All the very best.
