Part-14: August 23,2007 (Contd :) Job hunting experience after completion of I.Sc.: After the completion of my I.Sc. Studies, I started looking for a job suitable for me. I started looking at the advertisements in the newspapers for the job openings. There was a job opening for a teacher in a lower secondary school in Itahari. I applied for that post. I had to teach English if I were selected. On the interview day, the interviewers ask several questions. I forgot most of them but I still remember one of the questions asked to me: how to pronounce the word "ORANGE”. I had heard an advertisement in radio and TV like " CHISO CHISO FANTA ORANGE, MITHO MITHO FANTA ORANGE." I said the way that the guy in that advert used to speak. As soon as I answered the question, the interviewers bade me goodbye and suggested to wait for the result. Later I came to know that I failed the interview. Then I went to Biratnagar thinking that I would get a job there as that is one of the biggest cities of Nepal. I went to see the principle of a school who was from my neighboring village but migrated to Biratnagar long time back. One of my friend, junior to me was working there as a teacher and studying in a law campus. When I explained about myself and my purpose of coming to see him, he told me that he had heard about me before. He told me, “Rudra Bhai, I know your problem. I heard that you were really a hardworking person in school and also a good achiever. So the best place for you to work or study is Kathmandu. So, go to Kathmandu and try to find a job there. You will definitely get a hard time there initially but you will in better position later. So my strong advice to you is to go to Kathmandu." Oh man, I had never thought about Kathmandu. That gentleman inspired me to go to Kathmandu for hunting a job for me. I went back to Dharan. There were still some friends staying back there even after finishing their exams. One of my friends was from Dhading. His brothers used to live in Kathmandu. I expressed my desire to go to Kathmandu with him. He became very happy to hear this. One day, we purchased tickets of a DAY BUS and left for Kathmandu early morning. I knew that we were going to Kathmandu but my destination was really uncertain and vague!! (Contd:)
