Pre-Scripted Answers

The Placement season has just struck reality and the atmossphere is still hot with the uncanny warmth of the most FAQ "Are u appearing fo Placement in TCS?".I got dumbstruck when the hostel supervisor too asked me the same question, such is the impact of TCS in our college,with we getting mails from our Aluminus in TCS stating the lakhs of ruppes that we ll be earning per month and all yout to do to avail this jumbojet package is bid one year of yur time in TCS.With students being made to mug up the questions and a pre determined answer to the questions so that u look damn confident and not whimsical in ur interview for life.

Are these pre-scripted answers going to help other than making it tuff for the interviewers to recruit the students or God knows it may even make things easy for them, the way Dean Andersen found it easy in kavya Vishwanathan's "How opal mehta Got kissed,Got Wild, and Got a Life " even though the weight of her resume was far more than she would weigh given the gravitational force gets doubled.I have a stong intution that as HOWGIH almost ruined the chances of her getting into her dream College, where she cud not cite one human friend of hers nor she cud say anything about the romances she had with boys(coz she had none),the same is going to be repeated in the interviews.Twas pathetic,atleast i felt so,seeing people around jotting down points to say to the hackneyed Interview chap(this word is in hindi) question--"Where do u see yourself 3 years ,5 years and 10 years from now" and the answer which we were taught was "i wud be a project lead in 3 years a manager in 5 years and an even senior manager in 10 years". I doubt if it cud get me through the interview and i regret that all these efforts to teach us will stochastically go in vain coz i dont think i ll ever use these trademark banality answers.

All for one ,One for all ,Divide and rule -its not cool

Well the catch line itself is self-explanatory showing a vista of my blog. This was one of the many posters endeavoring to stark reality to Mr. Arjun Singh .Going by figures five out of ten people coming under the scheduled caste/OBC are illiterate while when the ball comes to the other side its even gloomy, three out of ten are literate. Is our government that bad at statistically analyzing data, if yes then why don’t they employ intelligentsia of the Indian Statistical Institute instead of people who are more interested in minting money rather than succor to take the path of a developed nation.Caste was something that existed too many years back, and such rulings can only gait as a spark to a keg of petroleum whose cost too has erupted in a cataclysmic explosion. It’s only oblivious of our “democratic” government, which focuses on egalitarianism, to abide by such a petition and I may prophecise that its implication may lead the formation of a new terrorist party inconceivable if not a political one, coz the young guns of today having been deeply influenced by “Rang De Basanti” believe in bringing the government to stark reality through the so called dhamaka. Even the remarks of witty politicians have been a surmise. By the statement-“Both sides have valid points” I don’t have any idea of what Rahul Gandhi means but what I think is that he, or for that matter any politician/Indian related to politics, wants to argue on the two sides of a mobius strip –a twisted ring of paper which technically possesses only one & that is this ruling is not going to help India in near future. Apparently, this is just going to raise the percentage of education in India and not the technical or managerial caliber level of the Indians.Everything I had ever believed about the demise of the caste system was suddenly looking like a brilliant sham with such insensible plans. The castes scheduled as SC, ST, OBC, EBC & any such BC are not facing any pariah or ostracism from the society, which they were a decade before and which to an extent supported the Mondal petition, in the current world and the new generation can in no way consider reservation to be their legacy or hereditary right in the country. Their parents had their share of luck to improve their economic condition and prove to the country they were not bane and their children too should do it but without any share of reservation and truly speaking they don’t need any, coz they avail all the facilities that the general countrymen do.The government should realize that such decisions could not only make the SC/ST/OBC‘s complacent towards their career but also lower the level of students in esteemed institutions and on top of it sow seeds of dissension. It’s high time for the ministers to consider the peaceful processions by students of various colleges and the protests in Nepal as a warning to the upcoming tempest which could not only lead to their downfall but also create mayhem and pandemonium along with smashing its goodwill to smithereens and this act could only be synonymous to invincible Dhoni screwing the Australians at pitch Perth.

The Indian Way

This is something that had a bell ringing in my head yesterday while going through a newspaper article. Most of the Indians and I would say almost all who are providential to know Hindi do possess of a habit, which quite craftily says a lot about our behavior and mindset. We try to end up every sentence in a contradictory sense like:- "hai na", "tum phir aaoge na" etc and sometimes ,though totally unaware, we use the same intonation while speaking English too like:- "I am Right no" instead of saying it "Am I right". Both have a tint of question mark associated with them, as we engineering students have with the first sight of the question paper thinking if we have ever come through the inauspicious, infact it becomes quite inauspicious if u don't know the answer to it, word during our one night struggle but a philosopher may cunningly unearth the difference between the two. Isn't it ironic that we have an irony associated with a bulk of communication we do.Looking at the other side, are we really having a sanguine start but ending in a pessimistic way. Do we infact get cajoled with the slightest hint of success but tenaciously have the consequences of failure at the back of the mind? And if you endorse with me, is this the basis of the "no" being appended to the lines we speak.Something even disparate hung by my head as I kept walking on the lane back to my house in the stormy evening i.e. is this consequence of failure or the thought of what people around us would say, engulfing us to a hibernation where our creativity get clogged and we become precarious to make changes in the way things are going resulting in a precisely slow up gradation of the economy and society. Though I know I am quite far from the affirmative where I could say "Bingo" I got it and could draw out an explanation for the same but yet seeing the way life has gone for me or the way I have looked at life and for the others around me, I can substantiate quite a lot of instance and I think you would too be in a position quite similar to this after thinking about the gibberish that I have scribbled so far.
