Since the past few days I have been suffering from headaches and eyepain. I also could not read the board or the ppt's properly. I am one of those who bear all the pains and will always have an excuse ready for it. In class I thought that that was the best view I had. But yesterday morning in the class Mithun gave me his glasses and asked me try it and see the difference. It was remarable. It was almost like switching n a tubelight or a bulb for me. At that moment I said to myself, "enough is enough". I decided to get my eyes checked up asap.
In the evening I went to the clinic and after a series of manual as well as computer tests the doctor concluded that I had to wear glasses. I had -0.5 in the right eye and -0.75 in the left eye. I took the prescription and went to an optician. Since I was new to this field I selected a frame and glass that I thought were best suited to my needs. They made the spectacle within half an hour and then I was off to the circus stage.
when I returned to the hostel everyone was laughing out as if they had just seen a joker. My friends said that I looked like an innocent serial killer or like the reporter gangadhar vidhydhar etc in shaktiman. Shucckkes man. I really look horrible. But everyone will get used to it. atleast thats what I am hoping!!

Zircon Zygotes
So now we are all set for the battle of the hostels, Ruby Cup.
As a part of the cricket team we have made our own new team. It has been named Zircon Zygotes. If you think thats funny then there are other team names like "gyara ghode maa ke l3&d@" The team consists of thirteen players.
1)Sandeep Patwa(c) - aka pattu,randi,doll,lesbus pattus. He is a useless player. He is the captain only cause he paid the entry fee for the tournament.
2)Birottam Dutta- aka Brittam bitta, biru, bru. He is one of our premier all rounders. No doubts he is the laziest player in the world.
3)Krishnendu Bhattacharjee- aka nandu, dodi, damodar, damo, dod shanker, the big ball. He is our opening bowler and a very good batsman too. He can literally roll down the opposition.
4)Akshay Chandrasekhar- aka pappu, pappus "gre"us. He is our main weapon. Our strike bowler. Our only hope. lol
5)Yatish Mishra- aka tang. He is also a good all-rounder. Actually he could become a very good commentator for ruby cup.
6)Maulik Kumar-aka mauls, mortein. He is a very destructive and an eye-popping bowler :)
7)Vasu Vineet Tewari- aka opulus heartthrobus, butla, tesu. He is a perfect example of "best things come in small packages"
8)Rajguru Sharma- aka Mehul Kumar, Guru, Dhakkan, Tubelight, oyyee, bey teri. Man he needs a starter. He is our wicket keeper cum waterboy cum ballboy.
9)Punit Rana- aka purana,punti, nachaniya, dhandewali. He is one the better batsmen and decent bowlers and best dancers.
10)Arya Ketan- aka malaysia, churi, chukesh, chur singh meena, chu-k. He is our only spinner. On his day he can be unplayable. He is officially our worst batsman.
11)Anil M.S- aka takla. He is another strike bowler and probably the fastest we have.
12)Hiren Makadia- aka macky, mota, basuuda. He is our official foreign player. He is our side screen too. :D. He is one of the slowest fast bowlers around here but his sportman spirit is unmatchable.
13)Shreyas Nair- aka dgr8one, nair, backus. I am the only hope that they have. Without me they will be doomed. I rate myself as a good batsman and an intelligent bowler. :)
As far as the non-playing staff is concerned we have:
Coach- Onkkar Inamdar aka Greg "chom"pal, chom, chicken, laupak, lekin lau- He is useless
"Ass" Coach- Piyush Mundhra aka mundhri pakoda, mudher bundar- He is even more useless.
Physio- Anchit Dhar aka haaalllaaaa. He will treat everyone with only love and no medicine and will make us eat the mess food too.
Cheer leaders- Dhruv Malhotra aka mallu, ch*(i^@ insaan. He is best in this business along with his room-mate Atul Chandrasekhar aka lota.
So this is our team and only future will say whether we win or lose but we will be the CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.

the intern story
Yesterday our campus representative had told me about a company by the name of "kenna metal" that would be coming on 22nd on the campus for taking in interns. Initially I was mocking around with the name "kenna". I thought it was some local company like "anna metal".
Then I went to the class at 8.35 (as usual late !!) but since there was no power our prof let us free!! I was overjoyed. At that moment Rajdeep, our representative asked me to attend the ppt of kenna metal and just check out the company profile. And oh boy! it turned out to be a fortune 500 company with operations in 60 countries. Then I thought why not give it a try. Atleast it will be a good experience. My aim was set to go till the personal interview stage and then further if possible. I wanted a complimentary t-shirt at least ;)
The written test was a cakewalk for me. Infact I completed it before time and went away. As expected I cleared the written test with ease. Then came the gd. The topic was "should colas be banned or not." I am really bored with this subject. I mean why so much hype about such a small issue when there are better things to worry about. my stand was to educate the masses about its side effects and then finally leave the choice to them. I remained frank with my opinion. I logical thought that I had a 50-50 chance. The results were out by 2.00 p.m. I was through to the PI stage. I had accomplised my aim. I got through. I was one of the priveleged 4 who were seleted for the interview. Now it was a territory that I had not planned out for.
The interview was at 7.00 p.m. I went to the training and placement centre at 6.45 in a black shirt and a grey pant and no tie. It was a group interview and not an individual interview. They asked everyone to introduce themselves, tell why they think they should be selected and one good thing that they liked about the company. Everyone told the same story. But personally I was not satisfied with my performance. My biggest mistake was that I did not mention about my huge number of extra-curricular achievements thinking that they will read it in my CV. Infact they did not even take my CV. Moreover I did not relate my strengths to the company profile. Overall it was not convincing enough. As expected I was kicked out.
I was not dissappointed cause only I was to be blamed for this.
A few things that I learned from this experience are:
- May be sometimes you might have to hide your weakness to impress the company.
- Always relate your strenghts to the company's profile.
- Always have an out and out aim. Today my aim was to get to the PI not clear it. Maybe thats the reason that I was a little bit too comfortable at the PI :D
But I am happy that I did not lie like others to impress them. And moreover I got the complimentary T-shirt and a pen !! :D
Better luck next time!
Life's like that!
