A man drove for about 6-7 hundred miles and reached a jungle. The moment he has seen the jungle all his energies are down. He is left with no idea. He is at a point where he can't decide between the several opportunities the jungle shows him. A wise man who has helped him to reach the jungle told him that there are many tunnels in the jungle which are guarded by few people who will be asking questions all the way and you've to sing a beautiful song once he asks a question in order to make him happy and once you cross any of the tunnels you can actually know what you are and you can give a kick start to your future.
He found it to be interesting and collects bunch of torches as guided by the wise man. After traveling for an hour in the jungle he found a tunnel and found a man standing at the entrance of the tunnel. He went to him and told him that he wants to go to the end of the tunnel along with him to build future. He said okay and give me the torch you've got. This lad gives the torch and walks ahead in the tunnel. The tunnel guard poses him some questions like where do you come from? what did you do before you've dropped at this jungle and continues asking some questions. This lad feels that his duty is only to take him to the end and gets frustrated and at the same time he is having some fear at the bottom of his heart as he was guided by the wise man that if he fails to sings properly he'll be thrown out of the tunnel. The moment he sings an image will be formed on the tunnel with a chemical released from the torch and this happens for every answer that he makes. But somehow the guard is not satisfied with the images that are being made so he kicks the lad out of the tunnel and warns him not to turn back at least for three months.
The lad gets disappointed and tries his luck at 2-3 tunnels. But to his surprise there is some improvement in the distance that he's traveling and he even finds from the experience that the torch that he is using also adds some negative impression to the guard and learns the knack to give the best possible torch to the guard so that it will not show bad images to him and learns that this trick is working well and he has already reached 80% of the tunnel and makes a cross check of the answers that he is giving and develops a skill of singing in a better way.
After traveling for couple of weeks he finds a big tunnel which is beyond his expectation and many people were not even permitted to enter it. This lad goes and stands in the queue and when his turn comes he gives an appropriate torch and happily enters the tunnel and starts singing happily, confidently and with all his abilities and the guard feels happy and asks him more questions as he is eager to listen to him and the way the lad is singing and the images that are formed in the tunnel are beautiful to look and feel. The guard is very happy with him and send permits him to cross 90% of the tunnel where he actually meets a new guard who is very tall dark in color wearing long coat and with a cigar in mouth. After seeing him all the energy levels of the lad are down. But the guard treats him cordially and shoots some typical questions and asks him to sing in a convincing way and with shivering voice which is an impact of the butterflies in his stomach, the lad somehow performs well. The guard feels good and offers a bunch of leafs and says bring these leafs tomorrow and give them to the guard who's there he'll open the door to your future by saying this he points his finger at a guard who is sitting a day/ week away from the place he's standing. He eagerly runs to the guard ans shows the leaves to him. After seeing the leafs the guard opens the door and welcomes him to the future.
The lad places his step and crosses the door and finds a very beautiful image of him placed on a wall and everyone in his family will be clapping near that image and his mother offers him a sweet and his father hugs him happily after seeing the image. He feels very happy and shouts "Hurray! I achieved it." And meets the people who were already there and starts walking towards his future along with them.
Note:In this story the 6-700 miles is the education that we're done with and the wise man is our teacher/ trainer/ guru. The Jungle is the land of opportunities and the Guard is an Interviewer and the tunnel is the mind of the interviewer and the torch is our resume and singing is the answers that we give to the interviewer. The final image is the job which we get. So guys if we give good image to the interviewer in a pleasing and convincing way the job is ours.

I've been attending interviews for couple of weeks so it made me to think and write this story.
