I don’t know what made em try so hard to get a temporary transfer?

It all started when we were going to Darjeeling, While driving up I recieved a call asking me if I had time for an interview. Since I was driving up narrow hilly roads where there was no place to park the car, I politely declined,and re-scheduled it to a more convenient time, later in the week! Having known the way people try to act with their dream companies, it seemed like I had blown it. I cursed my luck. (I was to later know time could be a scarcity for anone, interns included and it is understood here, 1 more reason i love this place, so no damage done)

Vacation over, back home still unsure where i would be in a weeks time i tried to decide the merits of both the places. Having decided I wanted to come here (if i got it), I called up CL and asked about the batch transfer scene. Having been reassured that all was fine and easy, they said it took a maximum of 15 minutes, I sarted preparing myself mentally for both scenarios.

All went well and I got in here, I called up CL to tell them I did indeed require to shift my batch on a temporary basis to Bangalore. I asked them when I should come and collect the necessary documents. Tomorrow, It should not take more than 10 minutes. Don’t worry! (They don’t realise its my job to worry, and indeed i needed to!)

Next morning I got the shock of my life when i was told they had stopped giving out transfers and that there was nothing they could do for me! So much for the promises they made when they collected the 27thousand-and-odd. This weird new centre incharge finally agreed to send out a mail to the bangalore centre afer I pulled some strings and argued endlessly.

But it did not stop and on reaching Bangalore, I found that the mails had not been sent and there was nothing I could make her do sitting here. Some 5 sweet phone conversations later the people here agreed to let me attend classes and I fixed up to meet them at 11AM on saturday.

Saturday.. I am told they do not have a batch they can accomodate me in in the sadashivnagar centre and that I had t travel to Church Street for every class of min I decided to attend. Its not far, Church Street, but every journey in one direction basically means I have to shell out twice the amount I actually should. talk of getting Ripped-Off.

Stll I agree and join! On reaching Church Street, I find out that Nitin was actually perfect in his assessment of the Maths faculty at Bangalore. They are really not worth wasting your weekends on, 90 min. classes with no examples and explanations that would make the foundation book a Bible, Why would I ever want to attend? However the English  faculty seemed much better than at Delhi and I decided to take as many english classes as I could while at Bangalore.

Next week is the MoCK CAT and SIMCAT week and suddenly I find myself in the mediocre bracket. I find myself nowhere close to what I should expect to be. I really do not know if I can make it(But I will certainly not say I can’t). However still I would say it has been the best thing, my decision to intern here.

 Don’t really know how to conclude this but that’s how it is!
