Though academically the year after my graduation in July 1958 was lost but I got very rich experience of my life during this year. I was aware that I was not good at Maths and Physics , so I did not try my admission for post graduate studies in these subjects. I was reluctant even to go for Geology. However at the last moment, I tried my admission for Geology and even for LLB . Prof Raj Nath could not admit me in BHU and Prof Ganju in Aligarh ; Prof Gyan Swarup,( from my Home town Jhalu, a cousin of our family friend, Shri Om Prakash Sharma) being the Dean of the Law School at Lucknow University could not help my admission . So I accepted all this as programmed by my destiny and watch as what is going to be the next.
To keep myself engaged, I tried to get some thing to do : Tried to seek some work as a volunteer at my Alma Matter , Hindu Inter College , Chandpur, no luck; tried here and there but no luck any where. Finally in December, I got an opportunity to work with S J Inter Collge, Gajraula. Read in detail about this experience at; . htmlhttp://shubhkamnadavendra.blogspot.ca/2010/07/my-first-job.html
Fortunately , I got a job of Chemist with Dyers Stone Lime Company at Katni. This provided me very rich experience of life to deal with varied situations. A detailed description about it is given here: http://shubhkamna-davendra.blogspot.ca/2010/07/my-job-as-chemist.html.
If I look back at this, it reveals to me to be an act of destiny; not getting admission to any academic programme; not getting a proper job even as a volunteer; getting a job as a Chemist - a profession I never planned or thought of, rather I never liked the subject of Chemistry. Why should I apply for such a job for which I never thought or planned? But I was quite successful in this job to the extent that my employer was ready to hire me on my terms. This also added to my experience to seek my admission in Geophysics- a subject with only a few seats at post graduate level and with wide open opportunities for jobs and career; . Admission with a scholarship of Rs.150/- PM - almost equivalent the salary of an Asstt. Professor. A reward in disguise.
At the end I do not feel that I wasted my year; It was all planned and designed by my destiny to be like that and I was only guided to act in certain manner.
