What not to do.

So, this is day number 2 for me at work.

For the uninformed - which is all of you - I just joined an internship at a media company.

This is how the interview went:

Interviewer Guy Who'd Eventually Be My BOSS: Hey, Sam-writes (Well  actually my real name, and even though all of you pretty much do know it, I just have this obsessive compulsive need to pretend this is an anonymous blog. Please bear with it.) So tell me what really is SW, how do you define SW.

Me: * Uhm... whaaaat?* Well, I am what you see, I like to do a lot of diverse things..uhmm..*stare around* , I play the guitar, I play basketball, I breakdance, I love programming..-

IGWEBMB: Yea, now, I found that pretty surprising, not many programmers get involved in stuff like that.

Me: Yea well, I was always in the middle, I was a cool guy with the nerd people, and a nerd with the cool people. *Seriously Sam? Is that you talkin?*

IGWEBMB:*uhmm.. yeaa* alright, so I have a question for you, and we'll see how nerd you really are.

Me:*gulp*

IGWEBMB: *random physics question based on concepts I studied in class 12th which I didn't remember anymore, and even if I did a little here and there, I was at the moment gonna suck at applying them and which obviously would have nothing to do with the work I would be doing as an intern.*

Me: *jibberjabber* silence - thinking *jibberjabber* silent thinking *jibberjabber*


IGWEBMB: So you're not that much of a nerd.

Me:*stares back*


IGWEBMB: *another random physics question based on this project I made in class 12th, which I didn't remember anymore, and even if I did a little here and there, I was at the moment gonna suck at knowing it, and which obviously would have nothing to do with the work I would be doing as an intern.*

Me: *jibberjabber* silence - thinking *jibberjabber* silent thinking *explains how did this really complex and cool thing in the project, but the guy doesn't really care about it.*

And then, I joined this company.

Lol! Its true! I remember asking my father about how he decides in an interview whether the person is suitable for a job in his company or not. He said that he tries to find out if that person is perfectly normal and has all his sense organs in proper working condition, and bingo! he gets the job!

Hello there. Its been quite sometime now since a proper post. I wonder if I even remember how its done. Now that would be tough if only there was anything to it right? Technically, "asdjhqowie" would qualify as a post. Not an interesting one, or even comprehensible for that matter.. or any adjective other than rubbish, crap or WTF?!? (which isn't really an adjective, but it still describes stuff I suppose, so lets ignore that for now.) [**pssst - I conveniently left out the implications the word 'proper' may have had.] But well, whatever. So anyway, I just gave my IIT paper yesterday. Before the 1st paper, I was awesomely relaxed, cool and positive, which was a bit mad at a level, cuz I'd so totally ruined my life for Mr.Judgement Day here, and the least I could do was feel apprehensive and tensed, and NO, it wasn't the confidence in my preparation. It was more of that strange peace n disattachment I seem to feel when strong emotions are required. And t...

Dear Diary II

He looked up at the dark sky as the stars shone. He needed some heat to clear the cold in his bones. Those are suns too, he knew. And the moon reflected the sun too. And so he decided to have his spirit renewed- What else could he do? There's not really a God over you. And to couple that spirit with hope, That maybe someday he would swing the rope.

Welcome Address. No, really.

Welcome to my fairly-long-pendin formal welcome address. Basically, I had planned to do a nice Venez-à-Delhi formal welcome address, 1st post after the End Kota series(which reminds me, I think all u people's countin must suck cuz no one seems to have brought up the fact that there's no end kota part 2 post there. OR you're convinced that on the planet I hail from, the no. ''2'' rhymed way too much with "foo", n since that isn't a real word, they decided to get rid of 2 too. Plus two words soundin like too/two were way too many twos, right? I wonder if you realise that does not make any sense!? Why would u think stuff like that?) But then (go scroll back up to see the stuff before the bracket)really important n strange stuff happened( the hair cut , and JEE ), and the welcome address got left behind somewhere. Nevertheless, here I am with my welcome address. So Delhi, I suppose was over-the-top excited bout me returning, cuz its welcome was to...
