Lemuria ?!#$

Recently i came across an article which has some details about the extinction of Kumari kandam(in Tamil) or Lemuria(in English). It has cited many examples from ancient Tamil literature. You can check this link to find more details about the Lemuria-The last continent
I have a special relation to with the word Lemuria. After completing my Graduation, when i was looking for job, i came across a add in the Hindu Education Plus. A computer center called Lemuria who calls itself as the Expert in Mainframe and claimed that they have placed 65 students in Top IT Industry on the current month. Lured by their add, along with my 5 friends i visited their center. To my surprise the place was jam packed with students. The Counselor of center who spoke to us talked in such a manner that once if we join in their center surely we will get a job in top notch IT Company.
Then came the fees issue. He said, since we are joining as six members he will give us 5% discount in the course fees. We 6 paid the fees and started to attend the class in Mainframe. COBOL classes where bit boring. But for the rest of the things we had a wounder full classes. Even 2.5 years latter, i still remember JCL and CICS. The faculty name is Kumaraguru. After 2 months of training we completed the course. As soon as we completed the course immediately they took us for an interview( in the mean time 2 of my friends got placed in CTS and TCS). We had a great hope. But to the dismay none of the candidate from the center was shortlisted for the next round of interview. My HR person said that your performance was not good. We began to work hard. We spent almost 10 hours a day in the center. Almost a month gone, we( didnt get any other interview call, but still in the news paper they advertised that they placed 40 students in that month.
We got little confusion or to tell in otherwords we slowly started loose hope in the organization. 2 more months passed still we did not get any interview call, but still in the news paper they claimed that they have placed 50 students. It took us 4 months to understand that their claims are bogus.
Then there was big struggle to get a job. For quite some day i worked as Marketing executive for Hutch, then as Junior Engineer with an construction company for 3 months, then at last to my current company.

Moral: Never trust a person who says with out any hard work you can get the result!
