Diary of Miss Metamorphosis

Chapter - 1

Well she always knew that the odds were stacked against her. Nothing would ever work in her favour. Lady luck loathed her , no she actually looked down on her and made sure she was never ever spotted in a 1 km radius around her. The symptoms were all there. How else do you explain in family in which almost everyone had exoti c names, she was called "Sulekha". Sulekha? what were they thinking? Sounds like they were utterly bored with life when they named her.Her sisters were called ahyaa and siyara. And Sulekha believed that theier popularity could largely be attributed to their exquisite names. Having a wild mane of hair obviously had not helped matters much neither the fact that she was not conventionally beautiful . Her mom had told her she was an unconventional beauty, but that was well that. Unconventional beauty? Whatever! So now when she had not got shortlisted for he rdream company McFlimsey , Sulekha knew it was cause she had a name which stuck out like a soiled rag.
Sulekha had left no stone unturned and no alum uncalled to get her resume in shape. She had called/e-mailed/sms-ed/way laid all the alums in the alum repository to get her resume McFlimsey ready. And so when after 1001 iterations her resume looked like the one she had started out with , she was no wonder shell shocked! What on earth was going on?Then she had done an optimization,( finally she was getting to apply all the fundas of her core terms )to come up with the ideal number of reviews for her resume and she had found the answer to be 889. Then she picked out the resume which had stored in her local drive as the 889th review and had applied. She had thought 1001 reviews and even NASA would take her in as their star Astronaut. But no McFlimsey had the gall to not shortlist her! If only they knew it was not her they had rejected but the combined effort of 889 of her alums and many McFlimsians in them!.. to be continued...
