There wasn't much I could guess about that evening. It was all the same to me but indeed carried that slight bit of hesitation before I could actually become a part of what I had been longing for. It's been quite a many days since I've entered the university but unfortunately not many encounters with a wholesome lot of senior students. It has been ever since that one actually wonders at the ease with which the senior students move about the college campus, mind themselves...to be more precise, from the point of view of a newcomer seem to be tailor made in terms of their attitude and behavior for such a life.
However when you have actually spent a year living this life, you had aspired to live in school, you tend to understand the crux of it and find out that one gets accustomed to all this within months. Back to where I started from, that evening, was one of a kind, though I didn't realise that at first but then soon enough was made to. It was actually an interview that had been scheduled for that evening, for those who wanted to be a part of one of the most prestigious clubs in the university. Having been busy with my academics and contributions in university fests, I had not much bothered myself to be a part of any of the societies active within the college. So there it went, seated in front of a panel of five , I was being interviewed for this club because of my sudden interest in these activities. The question came like a whiff with not much time given to think about an adequate reply because "Aren't the interviews supposed to judge the spontaneity of an applicant?". Well, having waited for some two hours for my turn, I answered bearing in mind that it is best to maintain the eye contact while I am a part of discussion. Since it was the first society I was being interviewed for, and not to forget that it has almost been a year since I have been in the university, the question of my non-participation in the clubs was bound to arise. I remember being asked very straightforwardly whether I had a "lazy" attitude which prevented me to organise events. To this I had replied back that if it would have been for my lazy attitude I wouldn't have even put in effort in my stage performances and by participation in events being organised, the participants do get an insight of how these organisers work while without participating the organising committee can never get the crux of how stress acts upon a participant.
However, that twenty minutes long interview could have stretched a bit longer if it would not have been for the in-timing of my hostel. Before I could leave, I was asked to speak a few words in my favour which could perhaps increase the chances of my selection. I did the needful and left. Now that I am in the age of technology, I am prone to make use of social networking sites, sometimes much more often I make use of my textbooks...It was the next day when I was mailed that I had been accepted to the club and soon enough was in tears to find out from one of my seniors who mailed me that I was tailor made for the club and much to my amazement I had impressed him the most out of all the interviews he had taken so far...I thanked him for the compliment and then merely two days later this man who had been tailor made to take interviews was delighted to disclose that he'd taken a hundred interviews so far...
