1 first step

this is a story about taking your first step towards becoming extraordinary this step is the toughest because there will be many thorns below your feet on this path and their highest concentration is under you when you take the first step.

the story begins with our main character (MC) Raka having finished his degree is in search of job.

Raka's day starts at 7am in the morning when he gets ready to face the world of interviews, having average grades are one of those curses which give you only hope but never success, putting all these thoughts at the back of his mind he starts of to the bus stop level 1.

level1: bus stop

getting here is easy but getting from here is what makes it difficult. at times the bus arrives on time and the level is passed with ease, but the difficulty starts when it is early or late. if the bus is late the number of people competing to get a window sit or at least a sit at that increases exponentially. And if the bus is early the chances of just getting on the bus decrease exponentially and he has to wait for the next bus to arrive, but these difficulties come with its own enjoyable times as well when the bus at 8am is missed then the next bus arrives in 10-12 minutes. on some days he see a young women about his age waiting in line for the bus, though she is not the mo beautiful women in the whole world or any thing its just that whenever he looks at her she gives him a gentle smile which makes him feel like entering a bonus stage, he always wishes to talk to her but always fails at it due to lac of confidence and decides on talking to her the next time or when he gets a job hence he is never able to complete the bonus stage. with this we reach the end of level 1 when the MC Raka gets on the bus and reaches level 2 at the company.

level2: the company

the procedure at all the companies Raka has visited is the same. first give your certificates and resume at the reception desk and stand or sit in the waiting area with more than 17 people waiting for the same reason as you, for only 1 job vacancy.

after a few minutes all of the candidates were called in the conference room and were divided into two teams and were given the topic of animal testing here our MC did a wonderful job of speaking to the point where others even thought of him as university topper but how would they know that only a hand full of university toppers could speak like that and who could have thought that the person who gets scared to talk to a girl was speaking in front of so many people. after this the 9 were selected and for the rest it was game over. after some time the receptionist started calling each candidate at a time after waiting for more then 3 hours Raka"s name was called he was the second last candidate, once his name was called out without any anxiety he got up and entered the cabin. inside there was just one lady wearing black suit, seeing this he got a bit nervous looking closely she looked familiar yet her beauty made him question himself who he could forget such a beauty as such he walked foreword and with her permission set on the chair opposite her.

level3:interview

this was always the most difficult level and the one that Raka had never cleared. the interview started whit introduce your self and ended with what how much salary do you except, it was a typical style everywhere but the twist came when Raka was just about to get up, the interviewer asked another question which made Raka who was so good at this routine speechless, he just kept quite and after some time just stood up thanked the interviewer and left silently. after reaching home and even on the way to his home he was thinking about the last question which he was asked, the question was "where do you see your self in the next 5 years?" which had made him think what was it that he could do having average grades he was not the best in the field he was interviewing for. this was the first time level 3 did not end rather he could see or feel that he will clear level 3 if he found the answer to the question which he could not answer. while thinking about what he did after graduating till this point he suddenly realized that he had already cleared level 3 and level 4 was finding the answer to that question.
