A short expression to capture the mood of the youth around the world, right now post the WhatsApp dhamaka!
Oh sure selection is important
Oh sure parents wait
Sure my girlfriend’s family is desperate
Do I make the cut
Do I start the monthly regimen
Do the cheques start rolling in
Does stability arrive with all its accoutrements
My dirty jeans gets to get discarded
The business suit makes the entry
The stubble evaporates as quickly as it arrives each morning
The perfume goes subtler by the day
But I assure you dear HR
For the love of almighty God
Listen to the pain of this restless soul
The song of the bird that needs to fly
The cry of the 4 year holocaust survivor
The deadpan gradesheets and degree certificates
The forced extracurriculars to look juicy enough
Please
Selections!
All that is so yesterday
All that is so uncool
The world changed again
Selection is unfashionable again
The billions await the miserable rejects
The stashes await the soul that got KITA
Please HR, please, REJECT ME THIS TIME!
