My name is Sitaram. Some people call me as Ram and some call
me as Sita. I am an orphan. I was brought up in a missionary hostel in Mysore
and with lot of difficulties I completed my Engineering in computer science. I
was able to get decent marks in my B.E. As per the rules of the missionary, one
cannot stay after 22 years and today I completed my 22 years. Just because of
my education. I have requested the missionary father to grant me additional 6
months so that I can get a job based on my qualifications. But even after 6
months, I could not get any job. Then church father gave the details of one of
our seniors in the hostel and asked me to meet him in Bangalore and suggested I
can stay with him till I get the job.
He mentioned he has already spoken about me to him. His name
is Raghu Ram and he is 27 years old. He is working in a senior role in one of
the Top IT MNC. As suggested, I packed my bags and with heavy emotions I left
the hostel and reached Bangalore. It was the first time for me in Bangalore and
with little savings that I had by working as a part time in coffee day, reached
the Raghu Ram’s house. The house is very far from city as it is close to his
office. Raghu Ram welcomed me happily and asked me to be comfortable till I get
the job. He owns a flat in a posh apartment and it is 3 bhk. He asked me to
take one room. As I do not have much luggage, I was comfortable in any house.
After coming from hostel, the house is like a luxury to me and felt very
relaxed.
For me it is a new life coming out from hostel. I was very
good at studies and always in the top 5 in the class. I am about 5.3ft, fair in
complexion and very slim. Once in around 8th standard, I remember
played a female character in hostel drama. From that day, my interest to wear
female clothes increased, but it was always in my heart and had not shared with
anyone as I felt insecure to share with anyone.
Its really struggling period for me in Bangalore for the
first two months as I could not get any job or any calls. Every day I used to
meet consultants, but nothing was moving. Surprisingly, one day in afternoon at
around 1.30 PM, Raghu called on my mobile and asked where I was? It was really
surprising as he never asks these questions. I just mentioned that I am on the
way after meeting consultant. Immediately, he asked me meet one person and gave
the details and address. They are looking for fresh engineers and asked me to
give a try. Immediately without thinking of lunch, I reached there in 30 mins.
There are so many people and my turn for the interview came at around 4.30 PM,
though I was very exhausted, I have answered all the questions and they asked
me to wait at the reception. I got a call at around 6.00 for an HR round.
Everything went on well. As it was startup company, everything was very fast.
After finishing the HR round, they asked me to leave for the day. Next day in
the morning I got a call that I have been selected and got the job with a package
of Rs.180,000 per annum. It was a big amount for me considering my back ground.
I have thanked Raghu and requested for one more
month to stay. He smiled at me and said, I need not go anywhere and can
stay here till the time I wanted. Though I do not know how to say thanks, I
just kissed his hand and said “thanks for all the help”.
