So folks finally i got an internship at an industry.No not through merit dumbos but through a personal contact...
Well all of you might have heard "the system shapes you, you can't change the system!" that's exactly what happened to me.Being a common man who's always after his own interest i gave up looking for an internship on merit basis and finally went for the backdoor...because that's the only way,the only shortcut.
Anyways enough rambling about myself....I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a new blog that i recently came across.The blogger is a really good writer and i would suggest all the readers to visit her blog.Here is the link...
Young Pakistan.

I'm Back !!
First of all i apologize to all my readers for not writing any sooner. I was extremely busy during the past few weeks...bombarded with assignments and tests.But finally now I'm free and not by choice ....
Actually this is the third year of my studies and i am supposed to be doing an internship this summer.I had even applied to an oil refinery a month before our summer vacations. So far so good.I kept waiting for their reply...internship offers from different industries came and went by...
Finally June arrived.I was really looking forward to the work experience i would be getting.As days passed i started getting worried.Usually companies reply until late May but in my case they kept me waiting until June.I called and checked on them but they told me to wait.
At last yesterday i got a reply.I was rejected. I was really confused,why i was rejected? I mean I'm pretty high up on my university merit list but still...
Later on i came to know only those people who'd applied to that refinery through personal references were selected.Those who had applied on merit basis were rejected.
Well what can i say? This is Pakistan. Anything is possible here. You don't have to be talented to be successful in this country,rather you have to have the right contacts so you can pull a string or two and get your desired post.
Anyways so here i am free and idle.No internship to do. No influential contacts to get my job done.I have talent, i have merit,but who cares !
