This was one company that I’d been looking forward to get in since quite some time. Not that I’m determined to get into it but for the fact that this being first company, it would have been a good ego-booster to crack the first interview. Anyways, after a lot of hardwork, preparation and groundwork, (yeah, I do work hard at times) I found myself cruising along all the strenuous four rounds of

Like all good things come to an end, so do the torturous things: P. The majors despite being overwhelming and daunting always end on a happy note coz somewhere in our minds we know that the majors can hardly effect the entire portfolio of grades that one expects and deserves. Now here let me caution you, when I say 'deserve' I'm also referring to the non-academic efforts that guys put in pleasing

The most dreadful period of my stay @ IIT Delhi is back. Yeah ..its the majors. This time majors are no different but the completion of majors would jolt everyone into action. I'm talking about the placements that would begin from the next day of our majors.So lots of things are at stake and cant afford to be complacent atleast at this juncture.So guys its time to study and prepare for placements

The winter is back in Delhi and like everytime its shivery. Its almost the same every year but then this year its late by atleast a fortnight. Don't know much technicalities about its delay but I was quite happy with it.The chill running through my nerves makes me even more lazy and unproductive (not that I'm otherwise when the weather's good). I really had a tough time clearing the dusty winter

Gosh..That's probably one of the peculiar questions anyone could ever ask me because...Firstly, you'll end up forcing me to justify a fact that's quite obvious even to the dumbest person imaginable.Secondly, you'll also have to bear the brunt hearing a lot of weird jargon, theories, matrices, analysis, graphs, facts etc. supporting the answer. Don't blame me, that's precisely why I would be paid

Confused as I am due to the various issues that are currently going through my mind, I seem to be using this as an excuse for my slothfulness. Right now some of the issues that are currently troubling me are...JLPT exam on Dec 3rdMajor exams starting on Nov 27thTerm paper submissions by Nov 15thPreparation for PlacementsCV buildingGuitar classes etc.But the only things I'm able to do right now is

Phew !!! What a party it was and the timing couldn’t get any more perfect. The party marked the culmination of the torture we had to go through for our minor exams (well ..actually I’m talking for others over here). Well first to get to the basics, this party was thrown by three of our friends who were from the Telecom group and who received scholarships totaling about 1Lakh from Bharti group for

Strange how fast time flies and am constantly reminded of it during the minors. Every time we have minors, I really wonder if I had learnt anything significant enough to be tested by an examination. But then the IIT system begs to differ with my views and so I am obliged to the system.I better get my act together to hit a decent GPA this semester.So guys again …. Wish me luck!!!

This is one of my passions that is yet to be realized and can hardly wait for the day when I can strum away songs from my guitar. Here I think it would be appropriate to give some brief history of my tryst with guitar.Class 2 - First time I was exposed to a guitar, prior to that I had only watched in television. This was when I felt and touched a guitar. Looked very interesting and

Today we had organized a Strategy Rostrum at our institute. (For the uninitiated please visit http://www.iitdmba.com/rostrum). This is a sector-wise full day event where we call upon experts from the industry to educate and enlighten us (read mostly as a part of placement process).This particular rostrum was special in many ways. Firstly, I was the coordinator of this entire event and that meant

Delhi for some strange reason has never appealed to me as a city to live in. There's no night life as things get shut down after 8 in the night, the pollution, traffic, insecurity, extreme weather conditions and the list goes on. Even the scenic locations, wide roads and the chicks couldn’t make up for it.Anyways coming to the point, I'm talking about the Dengue epidemic in Delhi. What started as

Day before yesterday, there was a notice informing the students about a possible contamination in the drinking water and we were asked to refrain from drinking the same. Soon all hell broke loose in the campus with students running around to stock as many mineral water bottles as possible. Within a couple of hrs there was a scarcity of mineral water in the campus and lazy ones like me had to go

They are back again. This time with a lesser vehemence (courtesy - the subjects that I had chose for this semester). But nonetheless are very important.Also this happens to be my last chance to hype-up my paltry CGPA so that I can look 'worth considering' to the companies which would come down to recruit us sometime in the december. So no way I can afford to screw up this time.So guys...wish me

Many a times in my life, whenever I had an opportunity to test my abilities, I always used to shirk them. I am still not sure if it was because of the fear of failure or my laziness that should be blamed, but I always comforted my ego with the fact that if only I wasn’t lazy. What if I lacked abilities and was covering up with my laziness ?? Well could be true but that thought was ostracized as

This is one of the games that had been based on the popular game ‘Notpro’ from deathball.net. I’m sure many of you have tried your luck in clearing the mind-boggling levels in the puzzle game. Well let me get back to the game I’ve been hooked upon for the past 3 nights.‘Klueless’ is a game designed by IIM-Indore guys for their annual b-school festival ‘IRIS’ which acts as a prelude to their

All the way while traveling from hyd to Delhi, my mind was deluged with errant thoughts about the unsupervised life and biological clock at DMS. I was kinda scared and excited at the same time as everyday in Delhi starts with an impalpable nothingness and it’s only with the gradual lapse of time certain priorities and schedules get fixed for the day.And that’s how things are over here. Had got a

Well...I'm sorry for the misleading title but frankly, the experience was nothing short of it (not that I had experienced it earlier...but I’m sure about it). For the uninitiated, I'm referring to my vacation @ Hyd which formally ends today and tomorrow morning I head off to Delhi to continue my so-called education.With today, I lose all my privileges of a pampered-spoilt-brat and have to start

It’s been a one helluva trip to chennai despite being very short. Caught up with my brother and managed to make a quick trip to 'Mahabalipuram' too. Chennai was a bit hotter than Hyderabad and thankfully wasn’t sultry. It was kinda pleasant with intermittent showers greeting me.Mahabalipuram was stunningly beautiful. It was a great sight to view the ancient structures which I always used to
