THE
INTERVIEWS
Interviews
are always considered as the castle of horrors, but for me these are nothing
but capsules of humor.
My tryst
with interviews started with mu sigma.
MU SIGMA
after successfully completing my written test, I was lucky to be called for the GD or the group discussion. Otherwise what I call the general disagreement. Head held high (six point two feet high) I and five others entered the room. Topic “education being commercialized”. Studying in a govt. college with 6200 bucks per year, and 15000 yearly scholarship my ideas were dim. I waited for others, my first mistake.

Others
waited for nobody. They started like babbling baboons. The computer science
guys with their regular NDTV and aaj tak knowledge were pouring cats and dogs.
The mech guys countered every logic with their no nonsense stupidities. Well
India is a democratic and everyone knows Indian parliament. I was like prime
minister sitting calm as I could; thinking that I would earn brownie point for
my integrity. A girl also was in my predicament.
Some ‘benevolent’
guy from mech said “let’s give the lady a chance”. Everybody agreed
disappointed that they lost chance to impress. Dog eating dog scenario. The
girl filled with confidence parroted everything that both sides said. Even the
GD conductor was topsy-turvy on what she wanted to tell. Nobody said ‘let’s
give the gentleman a chance’. I never spoke. Three of those in the group were
selected. Benevolent guy, lady and I
were NOT in it. My first interview or rather GD of MU SIGMA remained an enigma
in my life.
