Shweta!! my senior in college, a sweet and calm girl; I was glad that I got connected with her in my first 3 months of training at the company I had joined as a program associate. It was a college-placement norm that seniors placed in corporates would align with final-years who are shortlisted for final rounds of interviews, and Shweta had helped me in understanding the demands of the role I was going to be interviewed for. Later that week, I sent a long thanking note, after phoning her, to give the good news.
In the first week at the office in Bangalore, I didn’t get to meet her at all, since she was working at her client’s office. The first week was boring since all my fellow-joinees were kind of over sincere and professional, while I was disappointed, having high expectations of fun in the new city (I was originally from Nagpur). And I had a break up with my girlfriend of two years, since she had travelled abroad for higher studies, we had both expected that to happen anyways since she wouldn’t be able to compromise on her career, and we both knew how well long distance works.
