Stress interview...

Hey guys,
have you ever been to a stress interview?
wel, recently i attended a stress interview..
not a typical, normal stress interview..
a very differnt kind of stress interview..
about which i have never heard..

Wel that interview was a part of a contest..
" the best manager contest"
it was a management event..
it was conducted by kannur university,
part of Techinova '08..
wel that was the name of the whole program..

Now about the contest.
There were actually three rounds..
1. Group discussion
2.Toggle
3.The stress interview

Group Discussion

the topic given to us was "is there any need of Employee Union in IT firms?"
most of us supported the point.
wel, actually it was my secong GD.
in the first gd I couldnt perform well.
and i failed miserably.
Wel in this GD also i didnt have very high expectation;
'coz i was participating against one of the bests in our college.

But to my surprise and to the surprise of all others..
I topped the GD.
the judges gave me very good comments..
wel such a situation is first of its kind as far as i was concerned.
The judges said that they have selected me because of the strong points of mine.
i wonder what all were the strong points?!!
Toggle

It was an intersting round.
they gave us two photos.
they will toggle the photos and we have to talk about the object or subject in the photo
as long as they were on the screen.

i got the photos of Aiswarya rai and that of a snake.
and the time given to us was 10 mins.
some how i managed and completed the contest.

the other figures were dosai&burger; lady with a guitar and money; small hut & a sky scraper etc.
Stress Interview

Here comes the most important and much awaited stress interview.
we were all dressed in a very executive manner so as to match the standards of the interview.

before the interview we were given a questionnare to fill up.
some of the questions were

what is your dirty name?
what is your opinion about homosexulaty?
what do you think about prostitues?
after marriage if your wife tells you about her experience of sex with other guy what will you do?
what will be your reaction if your wife gets pregnant in th efirst night?

i dont know from where they got these kindaa questions??!!!

the time for the interview came.
as i was the topper in the GD i was called for the interview first.

some of the organisors called me and i went with them.
they led me to a room where lots of make up items were kept.
i wondered why all these things were kept there.
suddenly they started applying make up on me..
i got surprised and i protested them first.
and then i came to know that it was also a part of the interview..
Oh man.. i never knew this..
and do you know what was the make over waited for me that day..

LUTTAAPPY...
all the Keralites are familiar with this comic character.
i appreciate their creativity, 'coz the ideas came to their mind during the make up were 'awesome'.
they were in kind of ragging mood. wel they were all students.. may be of my age.


this was the make over that they given to me!!!!!!!!!

well after that i was told to run through the crowd.
wel the crowd cosistst mainly of girls.

i dont know from where i got the courage.
i did it and reached the stage.
and jugdes started asking me questions..
i have to answer their questions in that dressing..
what a stress interview!!!

the questions were mostly from the questionnare that we filled up.
i answered their questions as i can.

Situation round

this was the second round of stress interview.
we were given a situation.
we have to convey it to the audience s well as the judges.
and after that we have to suggest a solution to the situation.

i got this situation
" you have fired from an IT firm without notice and you are the only support of your family"
wel i described it to the audience and solved it.

thus my stress interview was over.
After all that was a nice experience.
in the usual case i would never go to a stage escpecially with that kinda costumes and perform.
even in front of small audience i will shiever with fear.
with that experience i thing my stage frieght has lost and i am much much more confident of myself.

thank you everyone for giving me such a wonderful opportunity..

"do the things that you fear to do.. "
" in life most of the great things are achieved if we do the things that we fear to do"

my first accident !!!

no one is exception to the thing called 'Accident'.
it will struck a5t anytime, to anyone, and anywhere..
so far i 've a personal pride that even i ride at an average speed of 60km/hr. nothin happened me so far.. but today everything came to an end..

today my uncle forgot something on his bike when he was hurrying for the train..
he called me and told me to take it ..
as it was put there publically i went to the spot immediately- on one of ma relative's bike..
as usual a bit rash driving..
i reached the place and did what i ,ve to do.. and came back..

on my way back to home it all happened..
from the long distance itself i saw two children playing..
so iwas careful.. spped was very low from my usuals..
i was about to cross the children..

suddenly a boy crossed the road.. it was all off a sudden and i wasn't expecting it at the least..
i changed the direction ,applied the brake.. something happened..
i was sure that the boy was hit..

i slided 1 or 2 meters through the road with my bike..
bike was over my leg and the back wheel was still rotating with a 'dirty sound'...
from the thin air, from no where people gathered..
i don't know from where did they come actually..

well the funny thing is that no one actually helped me.. every one wanted to know what happened..!!!

i pushed the bike up and turned the key inti 'off' position..
and went to look the kid,..
he waas disappeared..!!!
well then only i could breathe normally..
'cos nothing happened to the boy..
i saw that the mirror hit the boy..

i found out the boy and saw some very thin red lines on his cheeks..
nothing more happened to him..
and it seemed that he was not at all consider about it..
also noone blamed me.. 'cos everyone knew that it wasnt my fault actually..
well it my luck or may be the boy's.. nothing happened to him..
if anything happened to him.. i cant even imagine my life..
i'm very sensible..i 'll be in depression for a very long time..!!
oh my gooooodness.....!!!!

then i came back to my bike..
oh my dear bike!! anything happened to you???

it has a crash guard!!
it was a bit tilted.. some scratches on the headlight section and on the foot peg..
and some oil came out...
that it..
oh god.. thanks..

well now about myself..
blood was there on my left hand
and on the rigth hand but not that much..
and my knee was also burning..
after the inspection i saw some scratches on both knees..
i washed the affected parts.. well no one helped me on that occassion also..

and came back.. then the dutyful people started their usual job..' TheEnquiry'..
i described all the events happened ..

and tried starting my bike..
thank god. on the second attempt it started..
i put it in the first gear.. no problem..
and back to home.. butnot like the usual way..
a bit more careful driving with a low number on the speedometer dial...

reached home..
father was not at home..thank god once again..
el i cant describe all these things to father..
i called ma brother and told everything..
then came mother..i thought for a while.."should i tell or wat??"
then i told her..
blamed my time, the planets etc..
and applied some medicines and dressed the wounds..
and i was back to work..

as i 've nothing to do.. sat in front of the computer and started orkuting and blogging..

and i 've decided to learn something from my experiences..
so after this my riding will be careful..(who knows how long will it go?? until i get a 150cc or above)
and will be more careful when i see some children playing...

CAT [ Common Admission Test ]

Here comes my CAT experience..

CAT- Common Admission Test --i too give it a shot.
That's really a great experience to me.

Till this November 16th, i have a distant knowledge about CAT.

Now i tasted the flavour of India's one of the most prestigious exams.

Well I belong to the category of one of the coolest kids attended the
great exam.

Going for CAT without preparing even for the last week!!!

The serious students who were preparing the whole long year would
kick me to death!

But who cares..

My money my OPPORTUNITY, and after all ma life..

Altogether it was a great experience.

As per their say we should reach the test centre by 9.45am
and "Calicut'[Kozhikode] was the only centre in Kerala.

So on that day day buses and trains would be full of the
so called 'CAT aspirants'.

So we decided to [well some 2 other buddies are also attending
CAT along with me. in fact they are my roomies also..]

stay at our another roomies house.

We reached there Saturday evening,
one day before the 'D-day',

and spent most of our time at the beach
and various shopping malls.!!

Well that was our attitude towards the exam.
Well leave those silly things.

Lets go the D day thingy..

D-DAY

Its November 16- 2008.

Started from our friend's home at 9.15
and reached the test centre
by 9.35
and found out the class room.

Got into it.

By that time most of the serious people were already
in their assigned positions.
Me too took my seat

and checked and rechecked the roll number.

There was plenty of time left for the starting of the exam.
But everyone was inside the class room,

mee too no exception to it.

when i was idling, I switched on my RADAR and
searched for somebody..
you know it might be for girls..what else!!!

Well the seat next to me was still vacant.

I asked God for a lottery..

Well God didn't disappoint me..
A girl came in and occupied the seat..

but not that pretty..well its a girl na.. not a boy..
THANK GOD..

but got no response at all from her..!!
may be a 'serious CAT aspirant!!'

so I again let my eyes onto other parts of the room.

THERE IT IS......

There was a packet lying on the table.

Yes..its the bundle of paper which could potentially change once life

or which could either blast-off a thousand plus Indian rupees at once.

No doubt..its the CAT question and answer booklet..

It was lying there waiting for the bell to ring and
then to reach our hands..

After a bit long 'dental checkup' i got bored.

But it didn't last too long.

At 10.00 the booklet was handed over to us
and gave a series of instructions to fill it.

I filled it and again started searching
for something interesting somewhere..

Got struck on a sentence which was a part of the instruction.

"YOU CAN LEAVE THE HALL WHEN THE INVIGILATOR SAYS
'YOU MAY LEAVE NOW'".

A joke came in..may be a PJ..

'What if he/she use some other word instead of 'you may leave now'??

[NB: pls don't force yourself to laugh]

And the battle started at 10.30 and it would continue till 1.00
-- 2and a half hours..

Started scanning through the questions.

There was was a total of 90 questions;
3 sections- 25,25,40 questions on each section.

+4 and -1 for correct and wrong answers respectively.

And there was a sectional cut off also.

First section was the quantitative section-
better known among students as quanti seciton..

Without preparation even the brightest minds cant crack it.

So I attempted only a few questions.

My thirst to darken the bubble came to an end at the 11th question.

Then came some logical analysing type questions,

data interpretation and English section.

I tried tried it a little better.

By 12.15 I completed my first rounds.

Then i would have to go back and test my luck on
those questions that i left behind.

Well that was my usual strategy for most of the exams.

And the last minute of the exaaam..

Its the panic time..At this time I couldn't think clearly.

So i went for pure probability, pure luck and pure guess..

I darkened some of the bubbles on this basis;

even without looking at the questions, sometimes.

Well..I have nothing to lose..but anything that i get is a gain na..!!

Came here with no expectation, but with hope alone..

And at 1.00pm it came to an end to my first ever CAT exam!!!

And nothing special after that..Came back to home in the next train.

The luckless people again got no girl companions in the train too. :-(

And there comes to and end to my first ever attempted
CAT exam experience....

MY FRIEND....

[non-orphan part ii.. a short story dedicated to those who feel they have no one with them..]


" when i am alone , i'm all alone..
no one is there to share with me, no one is there for me to talk.
but people around me are all enjoying themselves with their girlfriends or better say their lady love through the privilege that they got from the lavish offers put forward by some mobile companies which are specifically designed for such people..

i too have mobile, i too have offers, i too have money to recharge..
but!! but i'm lacking one thing.. the GF..

i'm best friend friend of some, good friend of many and have lots of other acquaintance.
i understand them, i lend my ears to their problems and console them, solve their problem....
but..but...who is there for me??

in a way i have friends..good friends and best friends.
but not the kind that i wanted..
i want or i need a friend who can understand me, who care for me, to whom i can tell everything..
being a boy what i wanted is ofcourse a girl friend with all these qualifications..

sometimes when the feeling of loneliness creeps in i do wanted to talk to someone, i do want to share my feelings..
as i desperately failed to express myself, i searched for some other means..
and thus decided to give my problems a textual 'incarnation'..

i approached my all time companion..my mobile..
started typing a long message..and pushed my linguistic skills to its limit.. and the message character limit as well..

now i want to share my feelings.. so i have to send it to someone..!!
but to whom should i send it??!!
the answer is still " NO ONE ".. i realised with small pain my mind..
then i started to think of a friend who is like GOD...
GOD.. to whom we can say anything and everything.. will be there always to hear everything that we say without a single word against us..
and who bless us with all kind of positive things if our belief is also positive..

can i find a friend like him????

may be No..
then why don't i make GOD as my friend.. a thought flashed through my mind..
yes.. he is my best and dearest friend from now onwards..

a friend and guardian for all who don't have no one to share , to hear and to support..
God is great..!!! "

I closed his diary..."sorry dear bro to read your diary withoout permission..and i ll try to be ur best friend..God please give me all your abilities"..

Non-orphans...

wel you may be thinking that who are these non orphans..
[its jus a 'new word' i accidently created..(pls forgive me if u dont like it)]
these are people alone in the crowd..
the people who have everyone..
father, mother , brother, acquintance...
but no one to care them actually...
they may be surrounded by a number of friends..
but not a single friend cant understand his/her feeelings..
or if he/she has a good friend..
but the friend is busy with his/her life..
so these fellows wont get much attention even from their good friends..
to whom they express their feeling????
no one is there actually..
if someone is there, then no one is actually interested in others problems..
well people are busy with their own problems..
then how can they spend time on other people's problem??!!!

the number of such people are increasing i feel..
so what we can do if we knew such people or if we come across such people??
we need to give them support..
we must be very good friend at least to our friends..
because it is the very basic level..
friendship must be unconditional...
whatever be the situation.. wherever be the problem.. we must be with our friends..
we must try to understand them..
we must pay attention to their even silly problems..
we must be very caring...

so learn the goodness of friendship..
be a good friend..get good friends..
without friends, life in this word is unthinkable..

infatuation....

INFATUATION...
its new word added to my active vocabulary. i came across this new word only recently.. may be around one year back..
well to me its the next great thing after love.
we fell in infatuation more than once in our life time..
and it is definetely different from love.. coz we need to be sincere in love..
but as far as infatuation is concerned we got all the freedom.. still we have a great feeling with us..

even the feeling that goes with infatuation is great.. then what will be the case with real sincere love..
so infatuation is the basic step or basic qualification to love or to be loved..

infatuation is safe..it lacks constraints..its as great as love..
so if you are carefree.. dont want to take responsibilities of real love.. Infatuation is the feeling for you...

love.. love .. love..its my love..

love!!!!.....  yes indeed a wonderful feeling.............

 unless it is a failure.....

the moment you express your feeling to her...

the moment that you want to cherish 

all your life time............. 

unless its a failure....

the words that came from your heart

 to express your feeling towards her....

the last minutes before you express ur love...

with full of tension..the same last moment 

when ur mouth went dry...

ran out of words....

and at last you got the courage from all the world....

and the first word that came from your heart....

then the expression on her face....

the perplexity on her face...

the silence on her part...

the flow of words from ur heart 

after the first inhibition....

everything is a nice 

or the nicest of all feeling in the world 

unless its a failure....

 the nostalgic feeling 

when u see the same old narrow path 

where you got your life...

a lifetime achievement....

the time u both spent together..

the silly topics you discussed together...

.the silly topics u both quarrel with each other... 

the first gift that u gave...

the unnamed expression on her eyes....

    eagerly waited for the day to be shown up..

her b'day..to give her a present...

and a the card with full of  words from ur heart...

another day that u waited..feb 14...

the rigth day to show her ur feeling...

thru a costly card..and a freshly bought rose..

the world wide accepted symbol of love....

  the days ...nights..dreams..daydreams..

.everything is as precious as her....

the boring classes in which you thougth about her....

the films that u both watch togethrer...

  the parks..beaches..ways..subways..corridors...

everything is as sweet as her...

love ur lover...love to love ur lover....

love...

yes yes...indeed a beautiful..wonderful...feeling.............

indulge in love........live love..love love.......

ideas to contribute to the browser war..!!

one more idea regarding new browser flashed through my mind...

is it possible in our available browser to have  multiple profiles???

differnt profile users have different settings..their history is independent of others..

their favourites, bookmarks everything is only their own in that profile..

is that possible???

what I need from a new browser..

hi people-- who love some kind of innovative ideas...

i am here to tell you one such an idea that came to me...

what  i or may be we really wanted from a new innovative browser..

basically a browser should be very interactive..

by interactive i mean we can use the contents of the sites as on a print media..

i mean we have to use the contents as if it is on a paper..

so that we can underline something, highlight someother..scribble something that we need to remember..etc...

for this my suggestion is to give a pencil like this as an extra option..

this pencil, obviously operated by mouse pointer..

we can use this pencil to draw on the browser screen, to underline something that needs attention..etc etc...

i think google chrome should incorporate this if they can.. well they definetely can program it around.. i am pretty sure.. but will they use it..that i dont know now..

so what do you people think about this???
