An engineering graduate was looking out for suitable work in his field. Jobs were difficult to get after the recent demonetization. He filled in many applications and attended several personal interviews, only to be rejected time and again.
Being fed up after so many months of his job hunt, he decided to take any work that could just meet his food and other daily needs. He visited a circus and asked for a job, but the owner said he was overqualified. He however mentioned that there was a vacancy to act as a monkey and amuse the audience. The unemployed youth accepted the offer since he could at least survive. So he dressed up as a monkey and entertained the audience. One day while he was performing, he accidentally fell into the lion's ring. Everyone was shocked and in horror. No one knew that he was a man dressed up as a monkey. The man himself was in dread and feared for his life. He felt pity for himself as he was going to be a victim of a poor job choice. The lion came closer to him but didn't attack. He was surprised. The lion whispered, “Arre Shinde, gabru nako. Me Palekar, 2009 batch, Mechanical” (Oh Shinde, don’t fear. I am Palekar from the Class of 2017, Mechanical Engineering). Roland Francis Toronto.
