I did Masters in Mathematic from PU Chandigarh and then Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Science from IIT Delhi in 1971. In those there were few computer centres in Delhi. To get a job as a computer programmer was very dificult. In RK Puram there was computer centre of CSO. I asked a friend to help me to get a job there, he said our director is a South Indian and u cannot get a job.
I was a very confident young boy after passing from the IIT Delhi. Next day I went to CSO and gave a paper with my name & qualification to the peon and told him I want to meet Dr Rao, the director of the computer centre. After meeting Dr Rao, he told me to sit in the library and said after 30 minutes I will take to Dr Rao.
When I met Dr, I told him I looking for computer programming work.
He said u are a educated person and should know we take people only through UPSC, this a Govt Department. He said sorry, I cannot help you. Chapter was closed.
Idea came to my mind and I said sir look, I come from a village, my father never went to school, my mother never went to school. Tell me after passing from IIT, what I should do in my village.
Some how these words touched Dr Rao. He said I am very pleased your performance, but I cannot pay you. I said I am taking tutions here in RK Puram, I not asking for money, I want only computer programming work.
He said then u will ask for experience certificate. I said no, I have IIT certificate.
He said I very very happy with u, go and see my deputy director Mr Taneja. Tell him to contact me.
I went to see Mr Taneja and told him Dr Rao has asked me to see u. He telephoned Dr Rao and said sir Mr is here with me.
When he put down the phone, said our director
wants u to join us from coming Monday.
He said we pay Rs10 a day.
I was very happy.
I went home and saw a interview letter from
Dept of Atomic Energy, Mumbai.
I telephoned Mr Taneja and asked him an extension of a week. I was selected for a class I job in Bombay, where I started my career.
I will always be thankful to Dr Rao.
O young Jat community "Never Never Never Give Up". U are not in Army, no body is killing your body and mind, only U and only your ego is against U. please do not find faults with others. It is not going to help.
Also u have to find your own Dr Rao.
Best of luck
