Days seem to be getting longer....

IT is just afew days left to the beginning and end of placement week to come on us and I am starting to find these days getting longer and longer and longer. With daily full dress rehearsals and GD's (and somehow I feel...now interviews as well) it is becoming an ordeal that does not show any signs of abating. As it is...it is becoming more and more difficult to go out with so many other people who have nothing more to do but give gyaan to people like me on how to go about targetting companies...

What can a little success do to an individual is amazing. From being a no one to being a person who feels that he is the GOD and then going ahead and trying to prove it to the less lucky mortals is a behavior that has been written on since long time back (not that I have read any such books but guess it must have..how can the enterprising psychologists and sociologists of this world leave such a topic alone!)

Anyways...as Abhishek Bacchan says... "ye world hai na world...isme do type ke log hote hai, ek jinki naukri nahi lagi hoti hai aur dusre jinki lag chuki hoti hai. Jitni jaldi iss dusri category mein aa jaoge, utni jaldi kismatwaale kehlaoge" (this world has two type of people, one who have not got a job and the others who have. The sooner you join the second category, the earlier you will be called a lucky guy.)

Friends???

Friends...that is what people like to call themselves. Of course everyone knows the definition of a friend.." one who stays with you in cheer and tear....bla bla bla..." and of course everyone boasts of being one who does that. But in the end it all boils down to the same thing. "I have one thing which you dont...so obviously you dont know what you want in life while I always did..." even though the same person for the same thing may be feeling exactly the same way just two days back as you are feeling today. Arre if you dont know how to make a person feel more comfortable...then at least dont worsen the situation for him. At least, calling yourself a friend, this much you can do. But what does a friend in despair...in need of a shoulder to cry upon get? He gets another person talking in the same way as the rest of the human race in exactly the same tone making it clear ki in this world, every man is for himself. Friends are there only till the time they are required by you. Least bothered about what they may be feeling or may feel if you talk in the way you want to.

This is the definition of a "friend" as should be told to children. After all schools are supposed to make children fit to live in this world and this is one essential thing that has to be learned....or maybe this IS taught in school...i may have missed that class

A random thought...for the record

Just a thought which passed by in my mind while talking with a junior...

Since you are in the system,
Be like the system.
Till the time, you are not able to change the system,
Dont talk about the system.

All the more reason to try and rise above the system

Nice day this was...

Hmm....so where do i start?

This post is actually a continuum of the last two posts with positive results for both of them. I cant believe that I finally managed to clear a GD. This is a different matter that out of the 9 ppl in my group, 7 were selected (these minor things are better overlooked) but the point is that I cleared! Company is Genpact (GE's BPO) and the pay is good. The interview was also fine...actually i guess my navy background really helps in a lot of places simply because of the reason that the other person surely does not know anything about the field and i can faff to my heart's content :-)

I may or may not get thru but i surely gained some confidence as far as my capabilities regarding my getting placed is concerned.

Dinner ka to pata nahi...but the lunch in the mess was again pretty darn decent. Rajma chawal remains my fav any time anyways and this today was also pretty good...of course not comparable to what i could get in delhi from my mom's hands.

Vaibhav has reached back to delhi from IMA after two terms getting over. Next term he will be the boss in the academy...how i remember my days in NAVAC when our sixth termers used to srew us like hell and we had no option but to think of the time when we will be in thr place...that chance never came for me but still.....remember i do...


chalo gd nite for now
till nxt time

The mess bounces back

By making that statement...i am probably imitating our media which has the habit of exhorbitantly expressing itself everytime a small player makes a significant achievement...sometimes to such an extent that the poor player (he is a human after all) is left feeling like a god and starts to falter...before reaching the alter (;-))..

I guess since our mess is not going to know about this post, it really does not matter in this case. Tonight for dinner (which is cancelled for me by the way) we had parathas with potato in gravy and cucumber raita with the usual daal and fried rice. The entire fare has been served to us every friday but today, the taste was much much better. It sounded as if the thought of losing great business had made the contractor realize that he had to do something and finally...a.k.a. Ajay Jadeja in his hay days...the mess rose from its slumber to serve a menu which was not only eatable but actually relishable (if i could use a word like that)

Hope the good work continues....and oh!!!...by the way...i still dont have a job :-D

I have no clue what i was thinking about when i opened my blog today. guess that is what it is supposed to be like that u can publish anything that u feel like, whenever u feel like. but today seems to be a very very spl day. i have lost 2 offers...not that i had them at any point of time but i could have got them only if.........

only if i knew the answer to that only if....
only if i understood what these ppl select in a GD....
only if i knew what godamn thing is going to be asked by an interview panel which could be of importance...
only if i had the capabilities of faffing which everyone else seems to have and everyone feels that as an "mba" everyone is supposed to have....
only if i understood what was going on in ppl's minds at any given point of time...
only if i had a fraction of intelligence that Mel Gibson got in What Women Want...
only if i become fortunate enough to get what i want or desire at least once in my life....(other that my better half or best full that she likes to be called...and of course my parents who i am really fortunate to have...)
only if.....i knew the answer to these only if's.....

i was just wondering wether the only way that i could get a job was in a company which did not take a gd...???

maybe...because that is how i got my summers as well.

god send a good company where they dont take a gd....baaki future mein kya karna hai ye main sambhaal lunga...shayad...probably with ur help....

guess thats it...this is all that i had going on in my mind and this is all that i wanted to just take out somehow
