My IIM Shillong GD/PI was scheduled on 21st march and the post interview enthusiasm and the great hype in everyones mind before the interview prompted me to write this blog.As instructed i reached the center at the given time 9:00 am and to ma pleasant surprise proceedings started at sharp 9.Then we had a group discussion.My group consisted of 6 members and it was a case study(IIMS has a trend of giving case studies).In the case there was a company that organizes tracking events going in loss. They have appointed a new manager and there is a grand event to take place.But the weather condition is not suitable for the event and its very risky.So manager has to take a call on whether to go for the event or not.GD proceeded in a smooth manner and we concluded at the last.
Now came the chance of my interview.I was 3rd person to be called that day and perhaps the only candidate with such a low percentile and no job experience.My interview was of 25 minutes.There were 3 panel members and i will call them as P1,P2,P3 in the coming sentences.
Me: may i come in sir! good morning!
P1:so avinash from bihar.........tell me something about bihar!
me:started from history budhhism jainism and then came 2 nitish kumar and his policies.
P1:dont you think that apart from nitish kumar there are other individuals responsible for the development of bihar?
me:replied
P1:who is deputy chief minister of bihar?
me:replied
P1:so you are electronics and communication engineer so which part you like most?
me:sir basic electronics and digital electronics are my Favorite subjects.
P1:difference between analog and digital
me:replied(but he dint looked very convincing)
P1:asked about parallel and serial communication
me:replied
P1:how to convert analog to digital?
me:said about ADC converter but was not able to draw the circuit diagram.
P1:why mba??especially after B.TECH and no job experience?
me:replied
then he forwarded me to P2
P2:whats your take on corruption?
me:i replied and said about JPC.
P2:how many members are there in JPC?
me:replied
P2:who is the chairman of jpc?
me:i thought am i sitting in a quiz competition or what......or i should have avoided saying JPC........but i said i dont remember and fortunately he moved forward.
P2:asked do u follow cricket?
me:i was really delighted after this question and said yes with a smile.
P2:who will play whom in the quaterfinals?
me:replied.(remember the team playing in quaters was decided on 20th only a day before my interview)
then he forwarded my file to P3
P3:do u still learn classical music or you have left it?
me:said i dont go to any guru for classes but i practice at home.
P3:he asked me about pandit bhimsen joshi and his gharana?
me:replied
P3:he then asked some more singers from that gharana
me:i was not aware of any more vocalist.
P3:giving a tip to a waiter is an act of corruption or not??
me:i said that its an act of corruption and defended my point quite confidently.
suddenly all three panelist started to grill me on this tip thing but i remained firm and unmoved.
finally they said they are done.asked me to take some candies.
VERDICT:It was a overall a satisfying interview.me keeping my fingers crossed now.
i hope that readers will give their valuable suggestions and comments so that i can improve in future interviews.

MANDIR OR MASJID!
"Babri masjid" verdict is on cards and "communal harmony" is the buzzword that emanates in our surroundings.Newspapers, T.V. channels and all other sources of media are inundated by the slogans like....."INDIA IS A SECULAR COUNTRY"....."WE SHOULD MAINTAIN COMMUNAL HARMONY" and blah blah blah!!!But i guess we should try to find out answers of few simple question which goes....."WHATS GONNA CHANGE AFTER THE VERDICT"......"IS THE VERDICT GOING TO AFFECT OUR OWN LIFE".....
In theoretical sense nothing gonna change after the verdict and our life style would also remain the same...but in practical sense no Indian can deny the fact that the "babri masjid verdict" is in the back of his/her mind.why this paradox???And this is a million dollar question.
Even if you don't have a great idea about the Indian constitution then also you would remember the message of the preamble which goes as "WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;"
But then the question arises that in this SECULAR country how the babri masjid was demolished and till date no decision has come regarding the demolition??
AND THIS QUESTION IS ENOUGH TO SHOW HOW SECULAR INDIA IS????
So its better to leave this "secular rhetoric" for our politicians and try to find out the real solution to this grave problem.This time i am not going to point out at our politicians or policy makers.Its not their fault.Actually we have only elected them so its insane to criticize our own representatives.Still the question remains that who is responsible for this "NON SECULAR INDIA".......
And you may be surprised to note that the answer is the "educated Indians".....yeah really.....no doubt these days India has become a huge market and is boasting to become a super power in the near future....our G.D.P is going to touch a two digit mark and a great share of these credit goes to our "educated people".....but when it comes to communal harmony then there is hardly any difference between an educated citizen and a non-educated one....both behave in the same cynical manner.....
So after courts verdict how can we assume that there would be a communal harmony if its already absent there.....courts verdict is only an excuse, the fact is that we are going to fight anyway....
Today i read a piece of news on the front page of Times of India in which there was a story of a small village of karnataka where the Hindus donated for the renovation of an old Mosque.and this news gave me a spark that why cant we solve this babri masjid issue with mutual talk and it would be better that we Hindus should willingly build a mosque at the disputed land.Any way we are in majority in India with 80%of the population of Hindus so why cant we give a signal of real harmony to Muslims who are in minority and may be feeling unsecured in such sensitive scenario.In a family also its the responsibility of an elder brother to do a sacrifice(if you wish to call this a sacrifice).
thus this is the only way we can achieve the tag line of "SECULAR INDIA" and that word "COMMUNAL HARMONY" would prevail in true sense.otherwise posing for communal harmony is just a joke.....
hope this piece of writing might have ignited your mind......waiting for your comments/suggestions.....

ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY!
It has been a long time since i have written something.Actually i have been thinking of writing something for the past few days but because of paucity of time i wasnt able to do so.But now i am back with a topic which is disturbing me for the last few days.
Its related to politics again....as we listen these days that there has been a huge hue and cry for three fold salary hike of the members of parliament and in this regard the government has granted a two fold increase also but still those bastards are not satisfied...."LUDICROUS"...its the only word that can be uttered in the current day scenario....
Our nation is facing the problem of inflation.its now in two digits.but still one says
"This salary is an insult to parliament.
The bill should be torn to pieces"
ridiculous...don't you people think that there are many other bigger insults that our parliament should bother about...today we are on the verse of organizing an event where the prestige of each and every Indian is at stake...yup i am talking about CWG.but on that issue these "political thinkers" are playing blame game on each other.Other burning issues like pathetic condition of people in J&K go completely unnoticed but these idiots are shouting about their salary hike.
Here are some alarming but realistic data which i would like to share over here....
1)now after the hike the salary of each MP is 68 times more than what the average Indian earns today.
2)our MP take more money than their counterparts in developed countries like Japan,Singapore and Italy.
3)if u include all allowances,perks etc the gross salary crosses Rs 37 lakhs a year which is more than reasonable.
Then also they are not contented.Lok sabha has become a club of millionaire these days but still they are clamoring for more.They are supposed to be the servant of people but today they have become a parasite who thrive on the blood of millions of poor.
Its a matter of shame for all Indian.these greedy politicians have become the order of the day.They should not forget that voters are watching them very carefully.
BEWARE!!@@!!

Where have the oaths wandered??
Did you ever ponder???
Never! Never!! Never!!!
Every year nation celebrates it with joy and elation,
But i think its time to have a lesson........
For our work and duty
Which could provide us a real beauty for......?
Ever! Ever!! Ever!!!

WAKE UP "AVI".....
These days are getting so damn boring that i dont even have a slight of an idea to overcome this....this is the final year of my college life and in many sense it should be the most eventful year for me....but nothing of that sort is really happening...
Its a fucking truth that i have never taken my life seriously any time but at the same time its also a truth that i never felt do dejected ever...i always used to make very ambitious plan but all of them got dumped some how or other....actually i think i am quite good at making plan,delivering motivational speeches but when its come to execution on me there lies the real problem....
A single word that describes me best is "MEDIOCRE" but this tag, better call this stigma of mediocrity sucks...it really hurts....i may not be mediocre in terms of talent but when it comes to dedication,devotion and discipline i am really nothing more than a fucking mediocre with Utopian dreams...."A HEDONISTIC WASTREL"!!@!
I dont really mean to say that you should follow a "rule book" to live your life...actually life is enjoyed when you dont follow any rules....but not following rules never means to go weird...but wasting your precious energy and not chasing your dream cant be justified in any sense...its really a bull-shit....
So its really a wake-up call for me before it gets too late.....
"WAKE UP AVI"

"Will be happy if someone can do my job better: P Chidambaram"
this is what our union minister of home affairs said replying to his anti maoist policy and the recent failure during the indo-pak bilateral meet....
and i think its high time for all of us to realize that definitely someone else can do his work better than him...his steps in the recent past cant be called anything more than a "sectarian cynicism".though i have not done a great deal of dig into the recent failure of indo-pak talk but one thing is for sure that some where our whole planning and policies are faulty...and he is at the core of this....every time its flashing in the news that some kind of talk is going to be held but the next moment it swaps away...we dont even have a clear cut policy that whether we really wanna get friendly with pak or its just a political rhetoric with nothing really worthy at the core of this.....
"these days i am again and again listening to a famous shibboleth that says "AMAN KI AASHA" a go ahead by times of india....but now its turning to be "AMAN KI ASHES"."
the situation is more or less same regarding our policy against maoism also.in my coming blog blog i would definitely like to bring the darker side of this policy also....
so folks mr chidambram should definitely have a look at his recent actions and step....and come with an honest and satisfactory reply....
