The COVID-19 and the Thought Process

24th March 2020 was when we were locked in our respective homes due to Covid-19. It was an important decision made by our Prime Minister due to the rapid spread of the deadly virus. I never thought our generation could witness the pandemic that we used to study in our history subject. Even a cough would scare me due to the daily updates of the death count.

Anyway, my challenge was different due to this pandemic. I can say that I welcome all those challenges in my life where I initiate things and then my Life starts throwing up all odd events that would make me feel like I shouldn't have initiated them. So I initiated the thought that once I got a job during my PGDM course, one job would be enough for me, and the rest I would let others crack jobs that were invited in our college even faced sarcasm from my professors that my photo frame will be there on the wall of Placement department due to this thought process. Let me share my college name - Institute of Management and Information Science, Bhubaneswar. It is not marketing, Thanks to the college I met my three beautiful besties who I can say, will be there in my life forever just like Veere Di Wedding or Thank You for Coming.

Ok, the challenge is the thought process that cracking 1 job and letting others crack the rest of the jobs resulting in me waiting for 1 year due to this pandemic. Everybody used to remind me that the thought process went wrong. Why? The rest companies shared respective offer letters with my batchmates but not my company. Some started doing it virtually and some started wearing masks and reaching offices.

I was the only one there who was sitting and staring at the empty under-constructed building which was the tallest building to stare right from my terrace might be 1 km away from my house. Let me tell you my one issue, I don't know why I can't measure distance in kilometers but in time. A huge issue for me is when people share distance rather than time. Yeah I know it's a common issue but do you too have this issue? So, staring at the emptiness and being unable to think beyond would concern me more about my future than anything else. Yeah Yeah, I know I should have done courses and all to earn some extra skills so that I can face walk-in interviews in the open field. WAS DOING SO. But is it even easier to fight in the open field than on a college campus? Even got an update from my college "Your recruit company is facing many losses due to this pandemic so they ain't going to call you to join..."

The emptiness shifted to an unresolved crisis within me. Do you want to know what happened after that? Stay connected.
