Pepsi programme
Soft drink giant Pepsi organised the 'Prove yourself day programme' on 13 May for the short listed candidates who participated in its recent promotional scratch card offer. It was a very nice idea. According to this offer, the people who drank the highest number of Pepsi during this campaign period were invited to participate in the 'Prove yourself day programme' which was held at the Mirpur indoor stadium. I was one of the participants of this programme and hence I went to the Mirpur indoor stadium on time at 11:30am.
After going there, I had to wait for an hour in the scorching summer heat and finally they let me enter inside at around 12:30pm.
But we were told that inside there was another batch of participants who were being interviewed and so we had to wait under a Samiana till 4:00pm. The organisers gave everybody breakfast in the morning but after that we were simply waiting there without any food or drink. They even didn't let us go outside. But we were waiting helplessly for our turn and finally when our turn came, we went inside. But this time we saw many people who were already there before us and I realised that my turn would not come before 6:00pm.
But it was impossible for me to stay there since I was feeling extremely hungry and so I finally gave up and left the place without participating in the contest. Later, I came to know that many other people also left like me without participating, I was greatly disappointed.
