Hm.. I am back.

I want to do some reviewing of today's happenings.
well, nothing much happened today.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this for real?????????
Or Shall I call this a coincidence???
While i just finished typing the above sentences, someone called me up. Someone whom I NEVER expected that i would get a call from. Well, let it be. I'll talk about it later.

Well, today I learnt that helping mom in the kitchen is like helping myself out of boredom. Recently I am feeling a bit of laziness coz i never do anykind of physical work. Also my usual routine of studies has been disrupted. that's why i feel i am a slacker. Since i helped her out today i felt some sort of satisfaction within me and i discovered that from very long time I havent done this.
The next lesson is, staying cool most of the times helps. I did not quarrel with anyone today even after so much of provokation by my mom. I think I am learning to be patient.
I desperately need to continue this 'lesson' of patience. I need it badly. I know i will soon learn it all over.

I observed a change in myself today!!
Usually when i listen to other's thoughts or sayings, i easily get taken away by it. That is, i usually feel less about myself when i hear about other's success stories although my position isn't so bad. But it wasnt the same today..
Today I had been to a friend who has been placed in Caritor. She works in B'lore and she comes back to her house every weekends. When i listened to her lifestyle I felt I will cope with the situations much better than her. I felt that it will not at all be a problem for me working. I am cool now as far as the 'working' part is concerned. I felt slightly higher or equal to her. Though she persuaded me to take up test for some other co. my mind is fixed to go only the first co. that i am placed..

In a nutshell, I can say that I have changed the way I think.. and today I understood that I think 'positively' most of the times and not negetively as others..
That's all for today..
Tomorrow's lessons tomorrow.

Hi there,

Well, i am feeling bit lonely now.. so thought of posting something. how about writing something about how I feel right now??

Actually I am waiting for a call now from S. I am not really sure that he would call me coz he had said me that he would call me yesterday. As usual broke his so called ‘promise’. Anyways never mind.

Sometimes I like this sort of lonliness where I can here my voice talking to me which will be usually unheard because of constant chatter of the outside world. I sometimes cant figure out what it exactly wants to tell me. I keeps on shifting it’s sides. But when I am determined of something, I never let my mind go off it. as an instance, I can say when I wanted to get into that ‘XYZ’ company I had only this thought in my mind ‘No matter what I am going to get placed in it’ I never let any of –ve thought haunt me or bother me at the least. Though I was a bit stressed out I wasn’t having any –ve thoughts about it. I use this particular technique for +ve thinking. The theory goes like this ‘ mind is like a projector and your thoughts are slides. Whatever slide you put on will be projected on your mind. If you put a +ve slide you will have +ve thought. If you put on –ve slide, you will have a –ve thought. And there can only be one slide at a time’ so, whenever I catch myself up with –ve slide, I immediately replace it with the +ve one. I am trying to improve on that. but it doesn’t work always. It works only if you desire intensely for it. As Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam has rightly said ‘if you want something, desire intensly for it, and be absolutely sure that it would happen’. I have tried it and it really works wonders.

For that one needs to have this strong will power. The power to go against what your mind says towards what your mind wants.

I don’t know why, at this moment I am not able to implement the above things I have mentioned. May it’s the call that I am waiting for.. well I just hate to wait. Be it anything. because some people are so hell bent on proving their power that they don’t even value other’s time. I just hate that attitude. My point is, why do one has to promise that he will call you and waste your time?? I just cant understand their attitude.

I am feeling sleepy now..
Good night.

My firt post ever!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I had been thinking of starting to write a blog since 4 to 5 months. i wanted my first post to be very interesting. but the sad thing was, there wasnt much interesting thing happening in my life to start blogging. (may be no.. may be i thought it was too personal!! ;-)

well, this particualr incident tempted me to start a blog.

So, here i go..

OK, let me introduce to u myself 'properly'.

I am a prefinal year engneering student in Information Tech branch like umpteen other students out there. My friends call me "studious, intelligent and a silent girl". i dont know about the first 2 but i can assure of the last coz i dont speak so much in class or wherever. i will be always to the point and never skirt the issue. but i am not a 'dumb and shy' girl either.
that's all i can say about my self for now..

So, about the thing which drove me to this blogspot..

Few days ago i had my first interview ever in my life.. Yes it was campus placement season in my college. the first co. to visit our college was (shall i name it??? ) ok it is XYZ co.

After the paper presentation part there was a written test. thankfully i cleared written test ( i was well prepared for it anyways). then came the interveiw part. though i wasnt afraid of it, there was a sort of slight nervousness in me about facing the interview.
The interview process began from 10am.
everybody was waiting for their turn. they were calling names in a random order. so no one could tell when their turn would come.
i waited and waited and waited...... for 8 hrs. and finally they called my name and i was the last person to be interviewed ( before this interveiw could start i had told my friend Ch that I wouldnt mind being the 'last' person!!! Hm.. a coincidence???)

First round was Technical,
There were 2 of them in the panel. (The first one had glasses on..)
P1 was asking all HR questions and later P2 Started asking TECH q's

Me: Good evening Sir (feeling happy and confident)
P1 & P2: (shook hands with me ) Good evening.. Take ur seat.
Me: (still smiling and sat)
P1: what is the meaning of ur name?
Me: (i said as i was expecting this question.. ) ... i am very happy to be associated with that name.. (he looked impressed!!!!)
P1: Why r u wearing ur veil (dupatta)tightly around ur neck??? how is it supposed to be??
Me: (I was taken by surprise by this remark. i thought 'what the hell has he got to do with my veil??') well, it depends on the person and her comfort levels about deciding how to wear a dupatta.. ( i dont think he was so much impressed..)
P1: (seeing my photo on the application form) why arent u wearing specs in this photo.. are u trying to hide anything??
Me: It's not like that sir, i was wary of my specs causing glare during the flash. so...
P1: dont u know that there are glasses which do not cause a glare???
Me: I dont know sir, i h've recently started wearing it ( "a white lie there!!!")

P1 looked at my application form and said, "what is this?? u have written 'watching TV, reading news paper, and browsing the web as ur hobby' why cant u be specific?? anyone reading this will get a negative impression" . he was sounding very sarcastic and i was struck!!!
Me: (I thought for a while) well, i just wanted to give the interveiwer an opportunity to ask question on it he..he..( i was really sounding stupid yeeek ;-( )
P1: Oh!! so that u can prepare for the q's well in hand and draw the interveiwer's attention to the q's for which u have already prepared well???
Me: (He sounded really sarcastic and he was feeling very happy for having caught me. i didnt say anything for that) smile......
P1: what do u watch on TV??
Me: NDTV, CNN IBN, Discovery channel, and sometimes music channels also..
P1: what's the latest news?? did u watch news today??
me: no sir i couldnt watch news for 2 days since i was busy preparing for the tests and interveiws..
the latest news is SC stay on OBC quota and Bob Woolmer's death.
( he was again unimpressed and said to P2 that i was playing safe by skirting the issue and not answering properly)

he went on like that screwing me sarcastically. to be honest if it wasnt the interview i would have blown his head over!!!

then p2 started with tech q's after p1 said "now let's see how r u going to answer the tech round. specific or general?? he he...." ( i seriously felt like punching his face)

P2 asked me few tech q's which were all easy and i answered them..

Finally it was the time to announce the results. most of my classmates names were announced..
Alas my name wasnt announced!!! i was very upset i stopped listening to the announcements.. then i went near the notice board later on and guess what?? my name was there on the list...
I was really on top of the world. and everyone of us were very happy......
