The day disasters jsut didnt stop happening!!!!

Well what can i say? Its been a day full of disasters one after the other. Let me start from the beginning.
Slept for 2 hours previous night after completing my assignment. Had a jogginng session at 5:30 am which we all were dreading but turned out to be real good. So thought that well the day does seem promising as we had a business assignment given to us by Mr. Kamath sir. It was a day of being on your own devices, getting employed and earning whatever we could. Seems easy na? But we know better.
Got out of the institute after 5 days and were looking forward to enjoying our first ever day at work and first salary (hopefully!) Things were all falling into place. Got a hike as soon as we got out of the the gate. and guess what? Sir who gave us a ride was going to aundh tooo!! So lucky us, couldnt stop thanking god. We got dropped off somewhere in aundh where there was a bank where we could try our luck. Nothing could have stopped us now.
And then started the long list of rejections. Travelled one street, then the second and then the third, still hoping that we would get employed anytime soon. With each shop our expectations would rise again and be dashed. Ultimately got down to begging too but to no vail. But refused to give up even if we just had two hours left for our assignment to finish. Didnt know what hurt worse, the blistered feet or our belief in ourselves.
My dad always used to say that you will realise the value of money once you start earning. Today i realised what he had meant and how difficult it is to even get work. Well Dad learnt it now, though the hard way.
