Hostel superintendent Singh Sir reach near hostel main gate to remind the students about interview and to instruct them to prepare earlier so that they can reach at the venue of the interview before sheduled time. At the same time he is also thinking about various way to encourage the students so that they can attend the interview without fear.He enter to the hostel without wasting time.
Hostel warden and assistants welcome him and this time they are confidently discuss with him. This confidence is easily pointed out by Hostel superintendent Singh sir. He is very much intelligent and well experienced person so he undetstand that everything is truly fine here and that is the causr of their confidence.
But keeping his feeling hidden he asked warden sir and other assistants about the students.
Hostel warden sir try to reply but takes some time. This thing definitly not acceptble. Singh sir also become unhappy noticing this
Understanding the situation wsrden sir explain Singh sir that actually everything is fine here, the students were prepared so well that I did not get perfect adjective to praise them.
Singh sir become verymuch pleased after listening his words.He asked warden sir to have a interaction with boys.
Warden sir replied without fear that noone is present in the hostel at this moment.
Ehay do you mean, this is early morning and noone in prrsent here, then where are all the students.
Do not worrry Sir, they are now in the garden for performing some physical exercise and morning walk
Is it true?
Yes, please donot worrry, they will return within five minutes.
What are you telling? today after four hours only they have to attend interview but instead of thinking about that the boys are enjoying morning walk in the park. it is not expected from them. Superintendent Singh sir tell these with anger.
Warden Sir replied without wasting time considering this matter as very importamt and truly speaking this is a very critical situation the activity of students is not acceptable at this moment.
He replied that he is also verymuch worried for that matter but he could not stop the students at that moment as he noticed them in fully perfect condition, both physically and mentally that means he did not notice any sign of unstabkeness or worriness in their face and the most important factor is that the activity morning walk is permitted to them as per the guidelines of college.
Warden sir remained silent, after replying explaining the actual situation.
He is now eaiting to get the remarks from Superintendent Singh Sir.
But Singh Sir is silent now.
Definitly he is unable to give any remark on rhis matter at this moment, but he is a superior officer and he has to perform his duty
Warden sir understand the situation ckearly. Actually Singh Sir is waiting for the students. After a discussion with students Singh Sir will return.
Warden sir request Singh sir to excuse the students. Actually his intention is to divert his mind to different direction.
Now Singh sir break his silence and tell comfortably that here I am not noticimg any indisplined activity so no need to request for excusr. Actually I want to know from you warden sir that the students had gone for morning walk due to perfect completion of preparation or due to carelessness.
Warden sir replied confidently that the students had prepared for interview contineously throughout the night so the word careless may not suitable for them.
Singh sir become very happy notcing the love and faith of warden sir toward their students.
This time also Singh sir remained silent after getting the answer.
However the entry of students with smiling faces make the situation lighter to great extent.
The students stopped in front of Singh sir and warden sir and tell good morning with respect.
Singh Sir looks toward them and try to understand the actual situation and find confidence in their face. He understand clearly that the students are not feeling guilty atall and there is no sign of fear present in their face. He understand this matter also that he has to speak something otherwise the student will stand here for some time and he will remain responsible for wastage of their valuable time.
He break his silence and tell good morning to them and wishes them sucesses in their interview. He instructed them to prepare well and reach at venue of interview before sheduled time. He again tell them that there is only few hours for commencement of interview so please donot waste a moment and he is alsi not going to waste any time now so go to your rooms goodbye and again best wishes for your sucesses.
The students run toward their rooms after listening this.
Now Singh Sir and warden sir are presrnt on the corridor of hostel. Singh Sir looks toward waden sir and warden sir also doing the same thing as they are not getting any conclusion on this matter
However Singh sir tell one term in loud voice yes in a loud voice but not in anger,. He tell a term super confidence or super confident.
Both Singh Sir and hostel warden sir continue about the word super confidence noticing the activity of students and that discussion continued with a great hope to notice each student as a sucessful person.
Singh sir happily returned to his office room and warden sir also.
But both are thinking about confidence, over confidence and also about super confidence Truly they are happy to some extent but at the same time they are also worried about the result of that higher level of confidence.Forgetting those things both of them hope for the best.
Warden Sir call the assistant and tell him to provide good quality breakfast to students and he instruct him strictly that no students should take wine or such type of forbidden things at time of interview.
Warden sir analyse the matter of this morning very carefully. He try to justify his worriness at this moment. He reach at a conclusion that his worriness about students activity may be considered as acceptable and appreciable or essential. Because the elders have to always remain strict and should find the reason of dissatisfion in situation of satisfaction then only the youngers will work with hundred percent energy to achieve the goal or even set a higher goal.
He sit on a chair near front gate of the hostel and wait the students.
Yes, the most awaited moment come. The students come out of their rooms and moved towatd outside of the hostel that means they have to travel through the main gate of hostel where Warden sir is present.
Now wardenSir become visible to them and they are moving tiward him. they notice lot of love and blessings in his eyes and they feel veey much fortunate to get such guardian. Now their preparation is multiplied to several times as blessings has infinite power but they could not dare to thank warden sir because the elders has authority to give anything and the youngers has to receive that with love and respect only.
Now the students moved towards college main building where the interview will be held. There confidence is noticable but it is enriched with actual knowledge or not is a question.
Let's hope for best.
Students are moving firward with lot of energy as if they are going to fight with the enemy. At the same time they are alsi in a joyful mood singing film songs with low voice, sime are also discussing various matter.
But what is the cause if their confidence?
Although confidence is truly an acceptble quality but over confidence may not be considered safe.
The reason of confidence may be due to presence of Prof Biswavijayee Sir in the interview board. Some are already cinsidered that they have received appointment letter. But all have considered the matter as hundred percent sure that Sunil is going to get sucesses in this interview as he is favorite student of Prof Biswavijayee Sir.
The students entered to the the main administrative building of the college that means PP Engineering College and go to the seventh floor as the the training and placement section is situated at that floor. They reach near trainung and placement section and asked the receptionist about their purpose of visit.
The receptiontist take quick action may be due to such instruction from honorable Principal Sir to provide all possible assistance to the students . The receptionist call one assistant and tekl him to show the students the waiting room..
The assustant take the students to nearby room and tell them to wait there till call from the department.
The students enter into the room and become very happy noticing the arrengement if room. That room may be compared to the waiting hall orl conference hall of a fivestar hotel., they understand that this room is actually the waiting room is for visiter and officers of various company whi ate visiting the college for various purpose.
They wait there comfortably and start discussion about so many matter. After some moments ine of the student notice cctv, close circuit camera in the room anf he inform about that to other friends. Everyone take that matter into consideratiin, they understand that whatever they are doing here is being observed by authority so they have to maintain discipline.
They maintain decorom of classroom and wait patiently for the call from training and placement section.
It is a matter of great pleasure that they get information from the section to come to the interview hall. The names of the first group of students also informed to them. The assistant of training and placement section take those students to interview hall. and other students wait there.
Now it is the time to utilise their intelligence and deliver the aquired knowledge in front of the interview board.
Within a short time the first group of students return from the interview hall and asusual the other stidents rushed ti them to get some information about the uestions of interview and also about their performance or experience.
At this moment each student is a competitor of another butbat the same time they are also friends so some interaction 5ake place that means the first group inform about their experience to other students.
The next group of students also invited to interview hall Then another group
The matter to be noted that all the students sucessfully replied all the questions and all are feeling very much confident.
But is this confidence continue after announcement of result. Actually whatever the situation we have to be confident enough to face it. Perhaps the students are already received this important instruction. Actually where so helpful teacher and other staffs are present the students will be definitly optimistic.
Sunil had already attended the interview and he is worry about Miss Ssgarika. That means he already considered that he is selected in interview.
All students are now present in thst waiting hall as the result of interview will be announced after one hour only.
They started discussion about the experience of interview. Actually they faced so many questions of varios subject and some question of general knowledge. This is a general procedure of interview where some questions are asked to the candidate to get informations about him and his strength in various subject. During the interview they got the informations about the company to for which the recruitment is going on. Surprisingly they they come to know that the interview is going on for a single companey and that is a construction companey.
This is definitly ine very important information. The students will get time to prepare themselves to accept the nature of duty. The manpower requriment of construction company is not equal to other companey because this require field duty, duty at remote areas where basic requirments may not be present.
Students continued their discussion. The discussion about the perticular company that means the construction company for which they are attended interview draws everyone's attention.Actually all the students get informations about the company during the interview, that means this is a new information for them.
Well, their target is to get good placement, although this factor is wellknown to them that good job or good placement must be associated with certain duties and responsibility.
Everyone acceptthe oresent situation as acceptble. Thatmeans they started prrparing mentally to work in the changed situation.,
Here everyone's situation is not same and lso choice but they decide to be flexible in this matter.
The result of the interview is still not finalised and the officers may take some time,
The students however get this infirmatiin from assistant of triaining and placement section.
Now they get some more time to discuss.
Frankly speaking some other matter is also included in their discussion. They discussed about the members of interview board or higher officers those conducted the interview and about the difficult questions also. They are actually continuing the discussion to pass the time because all are truly very much anxious about the result.
It is amatter to be noted that before two hours only they were having such a large quantity of confidence that one may term that as super confidence but now the condition is complately different.
Is it applicabke to Sunil.
He may be taken as leader of this group having all required qualities, although we have no authority ti tell anyone as suitable for job only the interview members can take finsk decision. But one cangive his opinion that he is suitable for that job.
So let us notice his condition, now we are not noticing him in front row it is definitely unacceptable.
He is not oresent in front row then he may be in other rows or he may be out side the waiting hall, these are the possibilities. It is very is to tell these possibilities but is it easy to accept? The boy who is leading the group and who is providing support to other is not available at first sight it is truly not acceptable. But we have to accept the truth and continue investigation.
However we find him in last bench surrounded bybhis close friends. The situation is definitely very critical.
let's see
Sunil is discussing with his friends and the matter of discussion can give clear picture.
Sunil is telling his friends that he is really unhappy after getting the information about the companey.
Other friends also support him and tell hom that when your father is the iwner of a constructiin companey he may not allow you work in another construction company
Sunil thanks them for understanding his probkem so quickly and tell them that there is still another problem.
His friends couldnot replyvthis time and look toward him to get the answer.
Sunil explained them that after getting the informstion about the companry for which the interview is going on number of questiins arised.
The college authority should have informed us about the company earlier.
His friends listened his words and agreed to his words also but tell him another point. They explain him that wehave work in certain place where we can perform the duty and this one is suitable to great extent The construction company require so many technical persons and the persons who are technically educated get a lot of respect in that place. so we have to accept that.
Sunil tell them without anger that he is also understandimg that matter but the friends had not collected complate information. That means some important informations are still unknown to his friends.
The friends asked him to explain the detail informations and also explain how this job is unsuitable to them.
Sunil explained very carefully.
He explained them that first of all they should not consider any job as unsuitable. they should give respect to job or work, no job should be considered as bad
He explained them that work is worship.
We may tell like that we are not in a suitable situation to perfirm the duty. or we are uncapable but we cannot tell a job as bad.
Actually I collected detail informations about the company and the nature of duty I will explain that in details please keep patience, telling these Sunil remained silent and looks toward his friends.
He noticed that all are in confused state.
He started his explanation again.
He explained as following.
My dear friends, my intention is not to tell any work or organisation bad or unsuitable. Here some factors are present that may not be suitable for us. A construction company means that is going to do large scale construction or mega structure for that reason that compan is coming to PP Engineering college or our college had acceoted the proposal. Those company has one city head office and there may be other branch offices in other towns where official paper works and planning and design sectiin works but the actual work take place at the site. That site may be a river bank, forest or very remote area.
The engineers may be posted in city iffice for planning and design work or they may be posted at the work site to execute the technical work. But I come to know from reliable source that the company is taking us to appoint in field duty inbwik site. That means we have to leave the citylife and stay there in dangerous place.
Telling these things Snail remain silent and wait to get the reaction from his friends.
But surprisingly he noticed no such reaction or worriness.
This surprising thing truly surprise him.
So without getting any other way he directly asked his friends the reason of their silence.
His friends replied without wasting time and without any hesitation that they are not agrred with his explanations and his explanation hasno effect on them at the same time they are worried that why he is so much worried for such a small problem . They tell him with care that they had noticed his smartness and intelligence in every situation so they are truly astonished noticing fear in his face.
Sunil listened their reactin patiently.
His friends are now waiting for his reaction.
His friends means now only Piyush, Jyotiranjan and Deepak, they are very close to him but still then they are now feeling uneasy after tellingbsuch things.
Well, sometimes hard words and naked truth are to be spoken.
Sunil break his silence.
He explained other that he is not fearing atall tobwork in remote area or in forest, he is actually worried for Miss Sagarika. How will she manage in that situation .
Second important thing is he had not discussed aboit Miss Sagarika with Prof Biswavijayee Sir so the interview board may not select her for appointment.
There is still another problem my father is owner of a large construction company where I can do official work or planning and designing work. My father may not allow me to serve in any other construction company where I have to do field duty.
After listening these explanations his friends understand the situation to great extent.
Now all are silent.
Sunil had already given his explanation and his friends have to speak something to solve his problem but they are not getting any path
However after some moments Jyotiranjan explained Sunilbto keep patience and in this situation this is the only way.
Other friends that means Deepak and Piyush also support this statement and they they tell that they are with him and also remain in every situation so donot worry and be optimistic.
To divert his attention from this critical issue Jyotiranjan tell Sunil to discuss with his father Mr Samarudra that means for him Samarudra uncle.
Surprisingly this matter divert Sunil's attention to that direction. Let's discuss the reason behind that.
The reason is not unknown to all because in last night video call all had marked something different in Mr Samarudra's situation.
Now all become anxious to know the present situation of their guardians.
Sunil tell everyone that he had already informed them that there is something ambigious.Our guardians are in some problem so we hsve to ask them about that and we have to help them in their critical situation.
But here is one problem.
That means in which way we should ask.
Can we ask directly?
I think that will not the proper manner.
Please tell some ideas
His friends understand the problem and start thinking about any idea.
After some moments Jyotiranjan tell everyone that they have to start discussion of interviee by mobile phone with their guardians During thatat discussion they may start video call and that video call will solve the problem to great extent.
They decide to discuss with their guardians to know their actual situation.
So these younger boys are thinking very seriously about their guardians that means about Mr Samarudra, Prof Binayak, Mr Niranjan and Dr Asutosh.
This is truly acceptable. or admirable.
We have to also think about those elderly persons.
Let us discuss about those elder persons.
The matter already discussed in previous chapters that those elderly persons are not atall less energitic or smart from young energitic boys. Adventure and trobule shooting may be taken as their hobby. Actually they are financially very much strong or financialy stable and there is actually no such requirment ti take risk. But they are searching riskful work. A day without any challengable work will make them very much unhappy.
Well it is already discussed that they were planning to visit the slum area nd forest by bicycle and their journey was to be started in morning.
Did they really start their journey at that time?
How systeatic was their planning?
These questions are to be answered without wasting a moment.
Mr Niranjan reached at his grocery shop in early morning as the journey is to be started frim that place. He has to do so many arrengments, for the journey and fir some other reason also. The friends are coming 5i his shop that means they are guests and they should rget a pleasant treatment here. This is the matter to be noted that thix is his shop,this is not a residential building so no such arrengement is there to sit and discuss fir his friends.
He become very worry and clean some area of shop so that discussion can take place. He informed the nearby restaurant to send breakfast and coffee.
Actually Mr Niranjan is financially weaker as compared to other friends so what more he can arrenge.
This is morning time ane this is the sheduled time for the commencement of the investigative journey so the other friends have to reach here at this time.
But till now noone reached here.
Mr Niranjan keep patience and decide to contact the friends by mobile phone The next moment he changed his decision because at this moment the friends may be continuing their journey tiward this place that means they may be driving the vehicle so the phone call may disturb them.
At the same he know it very well that his friends are having drivers so there is no difficulty to receive the phone call for them
The actual reason for which he change his programme to contact his friends over mobile phone is something different.
Actually all the friends are very responsible so they must have already started their journey so there is no need tovremind them.
Is this statement justified?
But before we think and answer the friends reached at that place one after other.
Mr Niranjan become very happy and welcome them.
All entered to his grocery shop and start discussion.
Mr Niranjan tell everyone that breakfast and coffee is ready so first of all take the breakfast and discussion can be started.
All the friends become very happy but they replied him that they have already taken breakfast.
Mr Niranjan didnot remain silent after listening their reply and tell them that this day is complately different from other day because today they have to travel by bicycle so sime extra energy is required that means extra breakfast.
The friends accept his arguement and received the breakfast.
Here also the confidence is clearly noticable in everyone's face. They are cpmplately ready to start the journey.
Mr Niranjan looked toward all friends and notice that all are enjoying the breakfast as if they are going for apicnic or they arealready in picnic spot. He decide to explain them the actual situation after breakfast.
But after breakfast all the friends thank him for breakfast and started gossiping.
Mr Niranjan feel little uneasy.
Suddenly one announcement draw everyone's attention.
Who is announcing?
What is being announced?
Oh no the truth is something different.
Actually Prof Binayak speak with avery loud voice to start the discussion of actual problem.
Everyone understand that and maintain silence so that Prof Binayak can explain something comfortably.
. Prof Binayak start his explanation by thanking all for reaching in time with a positive attitude to execute the investigative journey as per planning. He remind the friends that they are going to travel by bicycle and they are not habituated with cycling from many year so they have to remain prepared for that physical stress. He informed all to start the journey withoit wasting time as the morning time is having pleasant weather and after three four hour the day will be hot and it will be difficult to travel by cycling. He remain silent for a while and looked toward his friends.
He understand or feel that continuing explanation is just wastage of time so he request his friends to start the journey.
. Listenins this statement Mr Niranjan and Mr Samarudra stand up and move forward without wasying a moment.
But here another one is also present.
Yes heis Honorable Dr Asutosh
what is he doing?
Yes, Dr Asutosh request them to return.
Now it is his duty to explain the reason of that instruction, because time os very important at this moment they have to start the journey as early as possible
The three friends are now waiting eagerly to listen something from honorable Dr Asutosh.
Dr Asutosh understand the situation very clearly and start his explanation without wasting time.
He explained that they have to be very careful to avoid any emergency health problem. He request the friends to obey some guidelines during the journey because all of them are above forty year old.
The friends thank him and assure him that they will obey all his instructions related ti health care.
All of them are now silent because they are understanding that there ire si many things to discuss but at this moment they have to start the journey.
All of them agree to start the journey and during the journey 5hey can continue their discussion.
The mostvawaited moment come
Now these four friends come out side of the grocery shop.
They notice five new bicycles in front of the shop.
Mr Niranjan tell the friends that he had already tested and verified these bicycles so we can start the journey.
All of them noticed that those bicycles are in fine condition and there is some arrengment to carry necessary things.
Now these four friends will ride four bicycles and the fifth one will be used by the coffeeboy.
Let's start the journey
Everyone shout like this and truly start the iourney.
They ate not young boys, they are above forty
This statement can not be spoken ir announced at this moment, because they ate now moving forward without any difficulty.
The friends are now near the northon end of the city and the slum area is now visible to them. Allbof them decide to take rest fior some moment before entering to that area.
They keep there cycles at the side of the road and take rest, yes they get suitable place because this is a smart city and various facilities are present throughout the city
There are several benches made of concretes kept by the government at side of roads, bus stops for public.
These friends take thebenefit of such facilities perhaps first time because they are always travelling by car.
Well they drink water and fill the bottles, that means the driking water facility is also present here.
The next news is they take coffee. Is the government providing coffee at various place?
Oh no now the coffeeboy is serving the coffee..
The friends enjoy coffee and feel quite relaxed.
But they understand clearly that this is not the time to relax or enjoy.
Ptif Binayak inform the friends that they have already travelled three kilometers by cycling and they are not atall feeling tired so they may able to continue journey.
Dr Asutish explained them that cycling is agood exercise and they can continue journey. but whenever anyone feel tired or uneasy he has to inform him without hiding the matter. so that there will be no serious health problem.
All the friends agrre with this statement.
Now without wasting any more time in discussion they start their journey and entered to the slum area.
. This is definitly a new area for them.
They continue their journey and keep a strict watch on every place, every people and all activity. They noticed men and women are already prepared and moving tiward the city. Some persons are ruding bicycles on which some objects are liaded, perhaps they are going to sell them. They noticed some persons who are travelling by scooter or motorcycles.
. Yhe friends started discussion by watching this matter. Mr Niranjan tell the friends that those peoples are going to various private office and factories.
Other friends tell him that the persons of slum area are the employees of some office or factories, this statement is surprising one.
Mr Niranjan replied him that all the persons of slum area are not antisocials or criminals, so many poor persons who are unable to afford the houserent of city are staying here.
That means here general peoples that means gentle and civilised peoples are also staying
Yes, it is true so many persons can be termed as innocent here.
This is a matter of surprise that so many rich peoplae are also staying here, tell Mr Niranjan
But why? asked other friends.
Mr Niranjan tell them that he has no answer.
However they come to know that the slum area is very large and a lot of peoples are staying here..
Most of the persons of this area are daily labours and employees of private factories or offices.
Some antisocials and criminals are staying here as the administration has no control over this area.
. These friends continued their journey like this with noticable confidence or we can say as super confidence
So this is the presentcondition of these friends.
Let us discuss about the younger group, yes about Sunil Jyotiranjan, Piyush and Deepak.
It is already described thatthey are in interview and they are waiting for announcement of result. At the same time they are having worriness for their guardians and they have to get clear information about their problem.
. They think about the situation carefully. They understand that at this moment they have to disturb themselves. They have to wait till the announcement of result after that they should contact with their guardians freely.
After getting the result, they will be relaxedfrom this side so it will be meaningful to investigate about their problem so that they can assist them to solve their problem.
They moved toward training and placement cell to meet any officer to get some informations.
