Kuch aakhri pal !

Time to get nostalgic ! Time to play the ball for the last time on the kgp court ! time to give your last end semester examinations ! time to bid goodbye to the people, together with whom you have kato-ed ch*t*ya of this iit system for the past 4 years! and yes special thanks to those who have supported you in the times of catastrophe(eg, today- got deregistered on the last day from an industrial department course !) & times of extreme delight (Basketball gold)! Time to watch some last sitcom series' ! Time to have an ale with all your mates & hope that its not for the last time !

Time Pass !

Lakers beat Nets for second time with kobe bryant scoring 21 with 11 assists (Was enjoying the game until Haryana Electricity Board played the role of a spoilsport ).
Fake->penetrate->get the foul-> 2 free shots-> easy convert. This is what KObe is good at and he persistentlykeeps on bamboozling the opposition with his varied styles of giving fake. (Well, Practice sessions with me really worked out well for KObe :D ).

The inaugural day of the PAN-IIT 2006 conference held at Mumbai was quite a let down as far as logistics were concerned. All the Spring Fest, Mood Indigo, Kshitij, rendezvous studs are needed for reinforcement. After all this is what these people are good at- organizing fests.

Seriously want to go for another internship this summer before starting @ Lehman- probably to Europe (Paris is a good option-plans might fail if the whole mummi ka sentapa works) . Internship after securing a naukri might sound weird but if I was given all the freedom to decide my career path , it would purely consist of internships in universities(especially univs like McGill, CA- whats special abt McGill?) around the globe.

I have been bored to death lately which has impelled me in writing a dumb blogs like this. Don't mind, but if you have reached the end of this blog believe me you are equally bored & frustrated with life -> so keep reading - it helps in sharing the boredom & frustapa.

Placement Day 1

It started off with the HLL interview. After a brief introduction about myself to the delectable HR, I started off something like this ...My enthralling experience at IIT has taught me a lot about leadership, team work ...bla bla "you know it all". I thought i had started off perfectly; stated all the funda on self-belief, lifting up yourself when u are in dire straits, perseverence- should tell you that i had recently(infact just a night before) discovered all these qualities of mine.- Botched up the technical round.

Lined up next was the ITC interview. Just reported a little late for the interview so that ITC people would ask me the reason for delay & I would say' HLL took a little more time then expected, sorry for the inconvenience' (Last year ITC recruited people who had cleared HLL GD & reached it's interview stage!). Unfortunately non of this happened but my interview went quiet well. Infact everyone else had cracked ITC's interview - so was kind of hard to be confident- but I was.
Next was Lehman Brothers. I had lost all the hope & enthusiasm by then. When you wake up at 6.00 am - that too in winters, dont have breakfast-only a halfhearted lunch, shout in the GD's, rush to different buildings to give your interviews & GD's ,justify yourselves in the interviews->all of this drains you mentally as well as physically. Situation gets worse when there is an i-bank lined up next to conduct rounds of stress interviews.
I would say, life after this was an ordeal till 5.00 am in the morning (It started at 7.30 in the evening), but an ordeal worth fighting.
