My Campus recruitment drive

Nirvana – The man who sold the world.., last Sunday this song was grooving in my head and it’s been long time I didn’t listen to this song. I logged in my PC and googling all the drives. Suddenly I happen to find this song somewhere in the old folder.  It named track-04, when I played …

kuchh is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila de
      aansu tere saare meri palakon pe saja de

Out of the blue some pictures started to come in front of my eyes. It was three years back, when I was fallen into..... I use to listen to this song a lot and in loop … Amazing song with the texture of intense meaning. The place, time, face and incidents everything came up.  Coffee @ 2AM, phone calls, SMS’s … Even today I don’t recall for what reason things didn’t work out.

I shouldn’t be talking on this, I resolute long time. Zippppppppppppppp

Of late, I had been to Campus recruitment drive from my company.  It was a fabulous experience, understanding the view of students and their groundwork to take up job. I didn’t happen to prepare for the interviewer role, as I have not completed 4 yrs of my career exp.

During the process, one guy came up and introduced him as blah blah and we started with the classic question “tell us about you”.  I am …. can do multiple tasks and ‘m unique from others.  I stopped him and asked how you are unique than others. He replied “I look into the things different from others; I always solve the things different from others who follow traditional steps”. Good, give me some example. He said “I can swap btw two fields without using third variable”. “See blah blah, this everyone can do what special in you” I replied.  I can do it in two different ways. Okay fine show me, I reciprocate sharply to him. He took some 5mins and completed. Looking into the sol’n I said “See, these two ways is no different and everyone can do, it’s no spl technique you used.  He provided me an excuse; I’m tensed, so I couldn’t do it swiftly.  Agreeable . . . .
Fine, do 45*45? He did normal way by multiplying 5 with 45 and 4 with 45. It’s the usual method everyone follows, here again he failed to show his uniqueness.  As a matter of fact, only 2% people in the world can do multiple tasks at a time.

Students we interact lacked general knowledge, awareness… No one answered the simple question like who is the President of India.  

God bless India.

Bits and Bytes - 2 ( On your face )

The recent happening news is showing bad image on India globally. UPA govt definitely will not agree for Lok Panel bill which frame PM, MPs and other Judiciary member. There are two civil group fighting on two different things - get all the black money placed outside the nation, one. Second, pass the bill which will scrutinize all the public servant under anti-graft. Its known truth that many MPs, civil service in India are corrupt and they say Italian lady had made many investments outside nation. Do they call this Italian Job??? :-) 

I support Anna... and 'm against corruption.. 


India lack good leaders, to hold up that we have PM like Mr. Man. I pray to god please give him all the strength to take decision on his own. I believe he doesn't ask Sonia every time when he needs to pee. 

Is India making news globally? Anything related to Science, Research, Medicine, Art, Literature, Space.. huh.. ‘Did you just
say in your dreams’ I expected that… I don’t remember the day when I read the news headline saying major accomplishment done
by India. All these days its making headline is related corruption, scam, scandal, attack, inflation, terrorist.

Rahul Gandhi said “We have stopped terrorism 99%”. Bull shit….. Did recent Mumbai blast made any serious impact on you, made to think about tomorrow...? To be frank it meant just a casual news for me. We didn’t run like a headless chicken.., not I’m telling that we dealt this situation very sensibly. It’s like a daily weather report or like Monday morning news.

Snap shot of the face of India:
"India is better than Pakistan where blasts take place every day, every week.” - Digvijay Singh

After 9/11 terrorist attack, US never saw another such attack on them. There we can say, Yes they are doing something to protect their citizens and fighting terrorism. In another instance, Mr. Chid said “Killing Osama in Pakistan is a proof for Pakistan involvement in 26/11 attack”. Seriously, what is he trying to say? Hey, you don’t have the nerve to hang the person you have captured in the counter attack even after more than a year and you are making such lame statement.

In my prior post I talk about how much I hate to pay tax.., a part of our legally and hard earned money will be handed over
to Govt for the welfare of society.., which we all know that never happens.
In US, if you are a salaried person and you don’t have dependency, your tax charge will be higher. If my parents are depended on my salary, then I will have less deduction in my salary. More the depended lesser the tax deduction, doesn’t it make more sense? Wow, Great.. Hope this process get employ in our system.

Coming to work… Whenever we friends casually meet, we talk about usually on making trips, next party, work and finally on work. Make fun of our managers, outcry for no appreciation, and talk about our project escalation. Word ESCalation is very catchy and raises all our eyebrows. Here is my POV on this –
Escalation is not for us, it’s for Managers, first. Second, it should be part of project. Escalations are salt and pepper of a project without that it won't interesting to work. Here we see an example – Before escalation client won’t even know who you are? Are you working in his/her portfolio, nothing… Soon after an escalation, everyone will ask you, and speedily you will become a known figure. Escalation brings out recognition for you in project and outside and few appreciation mails at last.

Not to end my post, without mentioning about spectrum raja, kani and God. Rewind your memory for couple of year back; we were listening to the news of YSR allocating lands to built church in Tirupati hill. If that’s the word, then no wonder on his fate to end his life like that. Similarly, Mr. Black glass and wheelchair old man said there is no evidence for the existance of Rama and Ramayana didn’t happen at all. This whole thing he said to destroy the corals formed in the sea btw the Chennai and Lanka. Heavy ships will come to Chennai ports making one full round across Sri Lanka. Now, we see what happening to him - Raja went to jail, followed by his dear loving daughter Kani and now Maran lost his cabinet.
Who said, we have heaven and hell afterlife. It’s all here and it’s all in the game.

PS: "Terrorists had the advantage of surprise" - Manmohan Singh. You said it man.., can’t believe someone leading our nation could say something like this. Enjoy…

Welcoming the year 2011, Its bizarre that I'm welcoming the year 2011 in the month March. If you just look back the year 2010, it was filled with lots off controversy. Adarsh scam, N deal, CWG scam, 2G scam and local land scam... Looking at this, at some level i feel like we shouldn't pay tax, there is no development happening to the nation with the tax amount we pay, rather its politicians wealth that is thieving. TAX paying is bad.
Our PM Singh says "nanaavanala nanaavanala" means It wasn't me, It wasn't me. We need to
learn self defence from this guy..,

2. In US, interest rate for any loan taken depends on the history of us, the same for getting credit card also. It has lots off conditioning and check happens before they give loan/credit card. Unless in India you see they are selling these in road side ha ha ha :) okay. if we had paid the dues in time, not violated any traffic rules and others, it will put our name in Good standing list. When you are taking loan, if your account is in Good standing list, you will be benefited by lower interest rate and vise a verse.
Rather in India, we see flat interest rate for all the people regardless of their due maintenance. Recently we switched to set up box and the installer was asking about our check no. If we had maintained well with no check bounce or late pay. Our check no will have number like 10, 35 and etc.., i can't recall all the good numbers. Needless to say, we were benefited by some discount.


3. Couple of days back, i made two trips a) Kumara Parvatha b) Masinagudi. It was a great experience and joyful. This time Swamy accompanied us for both the trip. Elephant joke was hilarious, its indeed fun when you are with friends.
Let me share this elephant incident with you guys, It happened on the way from Bandipur forest - Swamy was sitting next me in pillion seat and he always use to missout the animals pass on by our car. We were all teasing him sayng, you came from US and couldn't see any., this was making him really uncomfartable and we could see the same in his face. When we came to Mysore Swamy saw three life size elephant balloon (very realistic), this time swamy wanted make it first, and told every1 see three elephants standing over there., in that by that time we all got a chance to make out that it is not real, and we all in laugh riot again :) :D
Swamy, you make us feel proud and we wish you were here all the time.
