Stage 1 & 2 to be read first for flow of the story.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth.

Stage 3: A Soldier

A soldier in her own way! Fighting all the evil spirits that had taken control of her. She just slipped the border line! Oh well...Border as in, she just managed to pass in her board exam. I am sure some gentleman would have considered this poor gal and let her pass!!! wondering which subject??? Which one could it be, if not Maths!!! Life gave an other U-turn. Now she can not be an engineer, neither a doctor nor an architect and neither a designer. Oh yes!!! today's date you should surely say 'Why not Software studies?' but at the time of her distress Computer was not really the bread winner. But she with her papa's influence did get admitted for her graduation to a pretty famous college in the city.

She gets into the admission room. She is embarrassed when an officer declares "What kind of marks and how could you get an admission call???'. She is ridiculed. Deepika wanted to show the world that she is not unintelligent but she is careless coz of so many disturbances and mis happening during her XIIth. She was once told by one of her school mate(in the same college now) that 'Hey you here? So?? Doing your studies STILL?'. All her school mates come to know that she has managed an admission with so less marks. One of her classmate comments 'What will she do studying. Anyway she is gonna cook and feed her children'. She then took an Oath! 'I am heading for a change, a change that will prove my worth, the change that will prove that I am not a burden for the society and not an unwanted freek'. The will power brought her great success. Deepika is again the laadli but now for her teachers and her HOD. She is considered a intelligent and a hard working girl. She proved her worth. She fought her evil spirits out and this time the enemies were shot down with not much terrors. Even if she cried for any exam that she has not performed well, her teachers were so confident of her performance and wonder what??? she did score good marks. She is the then the heart throb for her teachers and HOD. She is lil weak in 2-3 subjects but she would visit her teacher's home and learn more. She is thirsty for knowledge alone. Marks came there own way. Hey wait!!! do not take in to consideration that she is the topper or something. She just managed decent marks to get herself to a distinctive level and is anyway knowledgeable.

The day came when she even wanted to do her higher studies. All stunned by her sudden change! Her Oath did change her. She got calls from 2-3 colleges for her higher studies. She joined the one where her dearest friend had joined before for her Under Graduate studies (which is 4 years course). So, one whole year Deepika is with her best pal. Though they had less time to meet each other for chit-chats but they just got in touch when their mood is down. Here in this college, Deepika had to excel in her studies but the pattern is different. Deepika is doomed in this deemed university. She could not excel though she worked hard. Its just that God did not bless her with so much talent and knowledge in Studies. She also tried getting back to sports. Sports after 5 years of gap had got her no where. She played like a baby playing with Saina Nehwal. She failed in all aspects of life then. It is going to be pre-final year and she took the Oath again! 'I am heading for a change, a change that will prove my worth, the change that will prove that I am not a burden for the society and not an unwanted freek'. The will power brought her again the great success. She is the 'Wanted' figure in her class soon. Not coz she is scoring marks neither coz she is good at studies; but...she had by then collected many books from college library and has successfully made herself notes on her subjects to score marks and be good at studies. She did became the most sought after even for her rivals. Rivals as in, with whom she had bad terms. She is a happy go girl then! She had lots of fun in her college with her 2 best friends and another hostel mate. She is happy, though she had lot of inner pains(of her life). She is getting stronger day by day. She saw her friend suffering from a serious disease and she had to be with her whenever possible. They were too close to be separated. They were the darlings to each other. The 3 had the best of their days in hostel life. They used to spend time in the mess (a dining area in hostel) and spend 3-4 hours just talking!!! Girls-Talk!!!

It is the semester when various big companies came for recruitments! You have a good report; you have a good company to work with! Lot of the companies came with various criteria that did not just fit Deepika in! She is doomed again for a longer stretch of her life. She had her dear friends with her to support her to fight the pain away. Her friends were placed in good companies by then; Only she is left out. She is embarrassed. She is worried about her repayment of loan that she took for her higher studies. She had tough time with no literal support from her family. She is alone in the hostel room crying day in day out. She is highly depressed. She did not get any motivation other than the news that 'Hey tomorrow xyz company is coming with the criteria that fit your resume'. She spends night preparing. But what can the poor girl do with having so less knowledge in mathematics and so less marks. All companies by default had 'Aptitude Test'. It was such a challengeable and almost an impossible task for her. One of her very goody goody friend helped to clear the test. Every friend of her believed that 'If Deepika clears her aptitude, she can easily crack the interviews'. And she did!!! She got it. She is RECRUITED!!! She is going to be with her papa-momma again. She would earn money! She would be the bread winner for her family. She is glad. She celebrated her JOB.
