Life is pretty interesting these days I must say!
As some of you guys already know from my Facebook Check-ins that these days I am running across several campuses across North India for placements. This is the first time I have started going to campuses, and by God ki kasam, kaafi mast kaam hai baccho ke interview lena! :D
The very same answers and reasons we used to give 5 years back, are still being used by the kids across campuses! And frankly speaking, I am now able to understand the side winks and cruel smiles which the interviewers gave me during my campus interviews! Lagta hai pichle 10 saal se sab saale same-to-same websites se answers download karke, yaad karke interviews me pahunch jaate hain! :D
And then my recent campus visit I met the following guy. Saale ka attitude dekh ke ekdum mujhe apni jawani ke din yaad aa gaye! (sniff sniff!) So the backstory is, I rejected this guy after the interview, and then he came back to me after the process was over for feedback...
Candidate: Sir, I wanted your honest feedback about me, that made you reject me? (And some more bullshit, wrapped around career, future, and preparation for the next companies to come)
Me: (All I wanted to say was - Dude You Suck! :P) but what I said was something wrapped around, business acumen, analysis of financial statements and other junk related to world economy!!
This went on between me and him for about 10 minutes. And then after a couple of minutes i stepped out of the placement cell to go towards the guest house and heard the same kid summarizing our discussion to his friends:
Candidate: Abe saala kuch bakwaas kar raha tha, mujhe laga thodi dedication aur honestly dikhaunga to shayad reconsider kar le, par sale chut*ye ne to lecture de daala!!!!
At first I thought I should confront him, but then I remembered... I spoke the exact same sentence few years back! EXACTLY the SAME!! :D
I just stood there and laughed at him, and then started walking away... seriously, when i think about it, saala aaj bhi kuch nahi badla! And by that time that kid had seen me walking! Aage ka scene to aap guess kar hi sakte hain! Rocket ki pant me aag lagi hui dekhi hai na... Furrrrrrrrrrr!!:D :D :D

How easy was it for you to be on the other side of the table? Were you scared? How easy was it for you to say no to someone?
I Interview a lot of chaps these days... and I do look back and imagine myself in exactly the same situation and what all would I be having in my head..
Its never easy to say no, and frankly kaafi bari darr bhi lagta hai that someone's career is based on your interaction with him for 30 minutes..
but kya karen, you got to say no.. dhande me dil ki koi jagah nahi hoti mere bhai..
What goes around comes around.... haha!
I haven't hired anyone, but I have couple of people reporting to me, and that's just as bad (and funny!).
Hhahahah!!!
You're back with a bang!!!! I was so looking forward to a post about the campus interviews!!!
And as you say, History repeats itself!!;-)
why it is not easy.
I wish I could travel that much and gain experience like you - it sounds great to be in India! I wish you have a lot of fun and adventures, and please do not forget to share, because when I read about other's people adventures, it's as if I have been there!
Removals and Storage
hehehe wow!!! seriously an eye opener nehi how we change and become the people we least thot we would become :(
first time visitor...
I have a bad sense of humour, so I kind of like your blog :)
as for campus placements, ahhh... it's just been 3 years since I was on the other side of the table facing people like you... still haven't recovered from the urge to punch one of you on the face
