Well, its been a long long time. the last time i blogged was june-july 2006.
Of late was getting bored browsing and thought i would check my blog and see whats become of it.
And viola...... i ve had visitors!!
Now that gets me motivated to pen my next post right away.
Just a day back i had my first experience of a telephonic interview (Shell Technology India have quite a different way of recruiting engineers). As always i was very tense the day prior to it ( i was informed beforehand of the interview date and time). Picked up the newspaper to read ( i hadnt touched the daily newspaper for a fortnight), and made myself abreast of the current affairs. The day passed quite uneventfully.
6 am next morning i was up reading the notes i had made.
But my biggest weakness (games) weaned me away from it! Wasted time playing those and before i knew it was 9:30 am.
With only an hour left for the Big Interview i sat down to watch the comical drama "left right left"
10 am, and the cell rang!
collect all the notes ( they wont know) and rush to the bedroom, lock the door... ready!
it was a lady at the other end!
she seemed pleasant but the question made me feel otherwise.
What is your greatest achievement? what was your biggest challenge? what was your role in this and that? Why is this so.. why is that so!!
I managed to wiggle out of the tough ones well, and probably made a good impression too.
But never have i felt as an underachiever as i did that day!
I realized i had been too academics oriented all my childhood, No sports , No music , No real hobbies...
I am on my way to change that too! So remember the name "ranjit prakash", might just turn out to be a rockstar in future :)
