It was a sunday morning i could well remember... woke up with my mother's caring tea.. sipping through, the caffeine reached my head making me remember i have got a big job at hand... got out of my bed thanking god for what it was before.... i had to make myself ready for the nerve racking interview for my b-school... sdm-imd... recouping myself from my sleepy state i took the newspaper and started to read just to find out that there was nothing big in it... finished all the matutinal works...thank god i had ironed my shirt last night... headed myself to my breakfast table... shared what i was about to face that day with my mom...switching channels... have i forgot anything mom?? usual words for her:)... she started dictating thing which i should be carrying... i checked for them... good i said to myself...A bright day.. the interview was at IIT-madras... took my friend's apache and started driving thinking of muphy's law... hmm there were students all over that place... making me a little nervous as it was not that big b-school... it was last on my cards... Telling myself that i should not do anything wrong which i could regret later was waiting for my name to be called.I knew before itself that interview was gonna be tough, from my friends... as intended it was a case study... as a fresher i had never had one before which made me even more nervous.. case was vague. i was told to write a para on the case... i jotted down my points... i was happy that i could finish before others and the stipulated time... the para they gave was vague and was very remote to me.. it was on some greenship international near japan. they worked on saving the whales from poachers... but one fine day they found themself in trouble when trying to catch one poacher they killed a whale which was blown apart by the media... i hate them for these kind of cheap stuffs... creating entertaining news has some how become the new mantra... crap isnt it?? we the people-barkha dut should discuss on it i imagined... i had to be the media manager and defend them...next was the personal interview... my name was 3rd... they called... everything was fine till that moment... the two demons were staring at me... i could well read their face a nice sap goat for their ego... they read the passage.. and demanded explanation for a line, it was a lengthy and complex one... i answered it and one was able to understand and the other acted he dint... one who dint fired questions on me which i barely managed to answer... the one who understood explained about the line to the other... he proclaimed that "we at sdm are so simple and not complex as you are"... i was stunned to get a verbal slap from a repectable person... i knew it was a stress interview.. so i held my nerve, smiling at both... they both were middling with their laptops and the firing of questions continued... i managed somehow until this question came through "have you seen todays paper with this news??" oh my god i dint it must have been in middle pages... i had no answer but a "no"... it was blunt i knew but not a terrible mistake to be sent out... they both mocked at me and asked me to leave... a horrible experience... furstrated i left... there was also other untold factors like more preference for experienced ppl... i had to relax, forget this as a bad happening... i went to the beach... got back myself and returned home.... nice experience..
