It was so embarrassing , I didn't know what to do , I just left the meeting room…..
This had never happened to me before .
So, there was this super informative session hosted yesterday on Zoom at 9:00 pm , on the topic How to get your first Upwork client and how one can start making money on this platform??.... by an Upwork expert , who really has made a good income out of it.
I got myself registered for it and went to attend the session. I was so excited , can't tell you ....
Session was going on and I joined them in . I made sure that my video and audio were off . I checked thrice ( I always do this triple checking thing ) . It was hardly 5 minutes after I joined and I heard the host saying -
" Arey Yaar " ( not exactly this , I guess , but something like that ) and he stopped saying for a while and at the same time I heard my sisters and cousin brother were in the next room talking about something and singing.
But I ignored them and then , I heard that, the host was telling someone to mute the audio. I thought that he must be saying this to someone because of course, I did check my audio thrice, so I was like this cannot be me and there won’t be any problem from my side. I was just chill and waiting for him to continue with the session , but then , a sudden thought came to me and I realized that my sister's singing and host saying to mute the audio , happened simultaneously (almost) .
That is why just to make sure , I tapped on my phone’s screen to check again ..
And guess what?
I could not see that red line through the mute icon , that means I was not on mute .. I don’t know how it happened and when . But , I went blank after that .
You literally can't imagine , I got soooo panicked . I unmuted the audio in no time and started to figure out what just happened . How can this happen to me ?. I was yelling from inside . O my god !
I cannot express how I felt at that moment . I still can’t believe it .
NOW THE REAL REASON , WHY I PANICKED SO MUCH
I would not have been so worried then , if things had gone normal . Because we all know that this ( mute - unmute ) thing can happen with anyone….. but,
THAT IRONIC SITUATION COMES INTO PLAY HERE :
Session was all about closing clients , making money , just like he ( the host ) did . So, you get the idea we were there to learn about how to make money on Upwork .
And the song that my sister’s were singing ...O no! .. I wish this would not have happened .
So the song was from a 90’s movie . I don’t know if you know about this song or not . And I still, am not able to understand what topic they were talking about and how they came up with this particular song at that moment of time and my mute button also got unmuted . I feel like crying while writing this . Why did this happen to me, God?
Okay let me reveal this to you now. So, that song was - Hum to garib hai , humse gareeb tum ho…….
NOOOO WAAAAAYYYYY
Just imagine my situation that time .
I have no idea if he and the other people had listened to this song clearly or not . But, they did listen to something .
I was so panicked , embarrassed and confused .
I just left the session right there……………..
