Job sites pe register kiya? [Did you register on job sites?]
This question is asked time and again. Everyone is curious if you joined any website where lakhs of others are searching for a 'naukri ' too. And you'll be like, "Come on guys, I just recently graduated! I still have so much of time."

Why don't I coach the local team?
While others are bombarding you with questions about employment, you're dreaming about the local cricket or football team. Your inner Kabir Khan from Chak De comes to haunt you. Unemployed gradutes are confused most of the times, as they have so many options!

Hota hai, main bhi tha berozgaar kuch mahine [It happens, even I was unemployed]
Get ready to hear sob stories and dark tales of struggle, as your father, uncle and neighbour get together to share their experiences with unemployment. Consider it one of the perks of graduating recently.

Chalo BPO hi sahi! [Even a BPO will do!]
When you start hearing tales of unemployment from your dear ones you know that being a graduate you should do something, anything! So you rummage the internet looking for jobs, call your friends for contacts and when nothing works out, there's always the call centre or BPO.

Itna padha, par kiss kaam ka? [What's the use of studying so much?]
Even before the graduate enjoys his jobless vacation he is forced into reality by dialogues such as the ones above. Its as if the world has ended and it was in your hands to save it!

Sab theek hoga, jaise hamesha hota hai [Everything'll be fine as always!]
While everyone is asking weird, unanswerable questions the recently graduated guy's voice underneath gives him/her hope that everything will be fine as always. This could also be said by one of your parents.

Zindagi me karna kya chahte ho? [What do you wanna do with your life?]
The graduates who roam around jobless are asked time and again, as to what they wanna do in life. Clueless as always, they just pretend to not hear the question. This instance all unemployed graduates can definitely relate to.

Social media will help me out!
Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn all seemed exciting prospects a few months ago to the guy who recently graduated. He was sure of finding a job through his connections on social media. But now all of it seems like a distant dream and he just checks them for friend requests and the 'likes'!

Ab Post graduation kar hi lo [Just do your PG now]
Once you stay unemployed as a graduate for a few days the whole family starts with chants of 'post graduation'. They think that since you don't have a job right now you could just study ahead and earn more degrees, with even higher pay in the offering.

Finally I have time for my 6 packs
When your family is asking you to study further you are thinking of the 6 pack abs that you never had but always wanted. You start working towards it. But if the six packs actually come or not is left to you and the holy spirit!
