Me!!!!

It’s been quite long now since i have been with me, a nice person to be with actually i can say :) well lemme tell u a few things abt shikha....

knowledge and perfection are the two things that she desires and occasionally makes efforts towards them, not a regular she is at anything!!! she is a quick learner and adapts easily but in few cases she finds herself unable to adjust no matter wat!!! !!! so far she has discovered that there are many things that make this world wonderful and equal is the no of things that make it detestable.... though more often than not avoids the latter, but one thing that she is sure of is that she would endeavour to tilt the balance towards the first one.... she loves to see beauty of nature and appreciates it out loud sometimes and silently at others, be it the rising sun, the beautiful tired reddish setting sun, the moon surrounded by infinite stars, the unfathomable talking ocean, ice-covered mountains, whispering air, smiling flower, a translucent small pretty leaflet or any of the conspicuous form of nature...
Apart from that she is as eccentric as sensible she seems, but the former her is known to a few of her close frnds... she dances when she feels like, music or no music, she sings at the top of her voice if she is in mood of, she dresses up at 2 in the morning and spends hours trying different dresses but if going out she can walk directly out of bed and that happens pretty often!! She always speaks her heart out if there is something good to say... very expressive she is!! If she loves someone, she always comes up with a reason to tell that someone that she loves him, if she respects someone she finds a way to express it, if she appreciates sth she makes sure to tell it...
She is free-willed but doesn’t hav qualms in following any1 she loves... she hates to be dominated but at times i hav seen her loving it!! If given a choice she’d shirk responsibilities but if given any she performs her duties to the best she can... she hardly cares what anyone thinks of her as long as she doesn’t value that someone...

My First Interview

Ah well, 15th Jan 2010 was the day of my first ever official interview.

Company: Infosys
Package: 3.25 (oops! one must not publicise one's package ;) )
Preparation: All prayers nothing else (it works all my atheist friends)

Since only this company didn't have any technical round my all hopes were set on it( preparation of CAT took me far away from all the technical subjects and i never knew i loved quant, di, va so much more than microprocessor!!). I work at crisis, always. Even placement couldn't wake me up from my slumber. And on 13th suddenly i realised, fish!!! I am just one day away and I dont even know how to answer "tell me about yourself" yet. So I started my HR interview preparation. Weird questions, funny questions, serious questions, bla bla questions, I tried to prepare all. Got them checked by Bhaiya and then rechecked by Papa. Well with Papa it was more like a mock interview ( Naaa more scary than the real one!! Now what do you expect if someone,who has taken interviews of a thousand people for posts way more higher and much more paying than this, would take mine??).
Praying and telling HIM(up there) that next one will come with GD and TI round, your headache will be doubled, so better get me into this one ONLY for your own benefit, I wont bother you again.

Then came the D-Day. A very long wait, longer ppt (but I really liked how it concluded with a salutation to Indian Army). And then Written Test (Heart beat: 150 per minute). For Infosys, it was the only screening round and I literally didn't prepare at all for this(Reason 1: Overconfidence, Reason 2: I didn't give myself time enough to prepare for it). And while the papers were distributing I wished if only this one time I did sth seriously!!!
Well, it went well... I was done in 20 min in first one of logical and left two questions deliberately because I thought there might be upper cut-off( well actually I wasn't in a mood of dividing a figure like 68.71 by 127.52). And the second one was eng, I tried to do it at my best speed too.

to be continued...
