Be frank ,but be a little diplomatic.....tellin tht unable to convert 4 calls will not be tht wise thing to do .....just tell abt 1 r 2 calls u got ......

thanks

My GD Tragedy

I had my GD today at a school in Delhi …. It was a morning 8:30 batch so had to wake up early to reach the place .. anyways .. reached the place around 8 and as was about to enter the place the guard stopped me ... asking me what I am there for .... All i said was interview ...
and the guy said ... Sir interview dene aaye hain ki lene ....Anyways ..... I guess I have postponed this Damn degree far too long now .. anyways ... Now some sensible stuff....

As I entered there were students helping us out .... I was taken to the student's waiting room .it was a classroom so I took my place as the back-bencher .. a student was checking our Admit Card and the scorecard .. Thereon we were told to move out and go for registrations ..

Post registration We were taken to a room for a presentation on WElingkar - NOT a B-school .. but a WE School .....We were also given a welcome kit n then the presentation ny students .. (with a few inputs from a female lecturer) ... We also had 2 faculty members in the room ... Prof Tendulkar also gave his valuable input at one place ... We were also asked to decide whether we would like to be considered for their Bangalore Branch .... As in the psychometric test they will ask us .. anyways....

Thereon we went to the GD .. about 10-12 students .. With 2 GD admins ..... a lady and a gentleman .. we were told NOT to give our names and just tell our roll numbers .... The gd Admins gave us a few minutes to talk to each other just to open up .... but it was a bit funny making small talk without introduction .. the topic was BRT - A Boon or a Bane .... it started off well .... I tried to speak first but someone else started so I stepped back to wait fr a better time ... anyways ,.... I did enter .. put across a few views ..... it was a bit chaotic.. at time there were two different conversations happening simultaneously .... Then there was a sweet looking gurl sitting idle .. so I tried to help her in too (am gud at future-planning ) ... but all she said was we shud calm down ...as if ....lolzzz....anyways .... another guy tried a SWOT but failed ... Still a gud approach by him .... Anyways ... We were stopped after about 17-18 mins n were told to give our 'One for the road' commments .... and we moved out ....

Then we were taken to the interviews section ... Where a sweet but a coy looking senior told us sit down .. ..... I tried chatting with her : / .... Even managed to get a comment off her that SHE WOULD BE MY SENIOR if i manage a seat .. with all senior's authority n all ..... Lolzz..... but unluckily I was the second guy to go .... so had to give up before I cud ask her how she found the city n all .. anyways .. NOW starts the bad part ( Till Now it was not BAD !! .. arre believe me )

I entered the room .... asked If i cud sit down... There were two people in the Panel .... One lecturer and one from the Industry ...
as soon as I sat down ...

Interviewer : Is this the way you were ties
( my top button had come lose .. Damnit !! )
Me : Oops .. I never know the top button has come lose ... (With a smile)
Interviewer : I can see that you are not comfy in a tie .... Take it off
me : Ya I agree .. (n I took it off.... and kept it on the table)
Interviewer : At least keep it on the lap ...
me : Hehehheheh ...

Interviewer : So why were u wearing a tie ...
me: because I am coming fr an interview n I am expected to be in a formal attire
Interviewer : Who says Tie is formal ...
Me : Conventions
Interviewer : Who taught you about conventions
me : Conventions are not taught .. you just soak themm up while growing up ....
Interviewer : Who said Tie is formal ...
Me : All my 12 years in my School I was taught this n I stand by it .. that a formal attire is incomplete without a Tie....

(Case rests )

Thereon he asked me why I had dropped an year after my 12th ...
Gave my explaination : / ....
One interviewer said that losing an year shows that I understand things a bit late .... and thus wasted an year ....
I argued that the word Wasted is subjective .... and i don't consider that year a waste .. etc ....etc ...

Thereon arguments continued about .... Why am I doing an MBA .... Why do I like Richard Branson ... Why am I a rebel ... etc tec.....

.......... Some other Questions asked that just popped in my head are : Who has Virgin Mobile collaborated with when it is coming into India ..... Sell Matro Rail to Vilaasrao Deshmukh

My PICTURE-FOR-THE-DAY was a pic of some Photostat n lamination shop .... I was asked what time of the day it is .. and what I saw in it .. told them that its a run-of-mill corner shop ... I was asked where cud it be ... told Maharashtra as there was a marathi Typing service too .. and the name was also Ganesh something .....etc etc .. what time of the day ..etc etc

The interview ended with them tellin me that I am in no way befitting for an MBA from Welingkar and will end up committing suicide in Mumbai if i get thru .....and I should use the experience I had in my next interviews

Then the psycho test ( Ya Ya I kow what I am writing :P ) ..... Easy one .. Just scrolled thru .. The guy next to me said that it feels like playiong 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and i laughed so loud that everyone in the room turned towards me ..Lolzz.. I apologised n rushed out before i embarassed myself any further .....

Anyways .......... I am sure you guys .. and gals .....will do better than me ... Rock the place people .... All the best people .......

As for me .............. ... Cheers anyways ....
