Now this is what I call 'Creative Writing'

This post is dedicated to Muds who suggested I blog my 'creative writing' experience, and I will not dare to take away the necessary credit she deserves ;)

I am sure I have some hideous pieces of literature to my name, and my school teachers would readily testify this. But the essay I wrote as a dummy for a company visiting my campus has to be crowned the worst of the worsts! The topic given to us was “My last three years in college”. College life for me has been strewn with incidents which could have been woven into a beautiful narrative. Unfortunately for me I didn’t have to play a dumb dummy and get selected, so after a considerable pause I started to write this nightmarish piece.

“When I was in school I wish to be college. Now I am college. College good. Life cool. We do many various thing to keep busy. Like for eg. we do class, sport, movie, music to. We also have LAN. This is local area network. It also very very good. Much much fun. It has movie, music, software, games etc. You name and it is there. Very nice this is……….”

This blabber went on for some more time about my good mess, and the good food and sometime not so good food… blablabla. I think the five minute time constraint was a respite in disguise for the poor reader of my unintelligible writing.

What makes my heart ache is that this company’s HR would actually take this to be the standard of an average IIITian! Not that we have very high literary standards here, but this was pathetic. I guess same was the case with all the dummies sitting for the exam. I sincerely hope that they haven’t been too put off and would continue to visit our campus in spite of the serious discrepancies which must be apparent to them while reviewing our written test performances.
