Think your JOB INTERVIEW like a DATE..!!!!


Think you JOB INTERVIEW like a DATE..!!!!

Hello friends..!!


I am pleased to see that you all are very responsive and that propels me to write and share my thoughts even more..!! Today I am with some different topic.


Well Friends You might be all familiar with DATING and many of my you might have dated at least once. Right?? Many a time I see students getting intimidated by INTERVIEWS but in a normal world they are very frank and audacious. So Here's a analogy and a THUMB RULE for those who think job interviews are daunting.

Firstly Think you Job interview like a DATE with GIRL/BOY. What Happens in a date, you go out in a best possible manner and try to impress a girl/boy. When you go for a date you in fact rehearse for many times in order to get it right at that moment. So Try that strategy for interviews. Rehearse as many times as possible so that you don't get it wrong.

Secondly when you go for a DATE you check the history of that Girl or Boy, about her way of life, her friend circle and even consult them about her likings. So Why don't you adopt that Strategy while going for a JOB interview? I suggest when you go for a JOB Check out complete profile of the company. Like for a girl you check out her likings, in the similar manner you check out the Technology on which the Company works and try to to get accustom with that Technology. This will not only help to impress the interviewer but also you will make the interviewer feel that you are desperate for the JOB.

Moreover When you go for a DATE you always tend to appreciate either the dressing style or the nature of the GIRL/BOY or the location in order to impress her and to gain more space. So it's always better to adopt this strategy in the interviews too to appreciate things(Not the interviewer dress but the ambiance and the the way recruitment has been conducted and how calm and considerate the team members were) Don't hesitate to do this. This will provide you edge over others and also show your frankness.

Thirdly, Your DATE may or may not be successful but at the end you surely ask her how did you feel meeting me.Right??? Just to evaluate that whatever preps you did were sufficient enough or not. Similar strategy you should also adopt while going for a Job interview. After completion of the Interview whether you get selected or not ask freely "How did you find my interview sir??" This will help you gain two things: First it will help you to overcome your weakness and you will surely rectify for further interviews and second it will make an impression on the minds of the interviewer that The Candidate considers every incidence as an experience and if some time later you meet him he will surely help you and might consider you for a job.

Last but not the least Many a Time I see that students getting nervous at the time of interview and despite having sufficient knowledge not able to crack it. Like in a DATE although a Girl or Boy hits at your weakness you anyhow try to justify it and easily come out of the situation. So similar strategy you should also adopt at your Job interviews. The Interviewer never checks how much you know but in fact he checks how well you can handle pressure. So be cool and answer as if you are answering you sweet heart to save your relationship. This will surely work to an extent.

Well Lot of Gyan was given on Interviews, I am sure many of you might be having many more interesting analogies and suggestions. I am waiting for that. Your views are heartily welcome. Don't hesitate to share your views.

Hope This will help you to crack the interviews not absolutely but at least to an extent. So whenever next time you go for interviews Talk as if you are on a DATE with you girlfriend/boyfriend...!!! All the BEST..!! Wish u a great future ahead..!!

Does Talent Need a BRAND Tag???


Does Talent Need a BRAND Tag???

Hello Friends,
After almost a month I am back with some content which is going in my mind for many days now. So I thought better to put my thoughts on my blog and know my audience views.

There is no doubt that this is a world of advertisements and branding. It is proven fact that the more you advertise, the more will be your popularity. Similarly this concept has entered into the lives of human beings. Now a days humans are also no different from any other product.

Last decade or so we have seen that a product tagged by HUL or ITC or any other international brand will be a big hit but a product of same or better quality will not able to get the desired exposure just because it is not branded. This is not because that non branded product is bad but the problem lies is in the Perception. People tend to trust more on branded products rather than any other ordinary product. Similar is the case with human beings also. Now a days students are striving hard to get a brand attached to their name. More often than not we see that A person studying in IIT or IIM will get much higher package or salary which any other ordinary person can't even think of. This sometimes makes me think that "Is there a dire need to attach a BRAND value to your name"??? Will you be not able to get success without the Brand value????


Friends it is very true that attaching a Brand Name like (IIT and IIM) will give your career a kickstart but it is not the only thing which can give you success. There are many legendary person who without having a brand attached to their name, they themselves made their name a BRAND. Every body might be knowing Mr NR Narayana Murthy(Founder of Infosys) who is not an IIT alumni nor an IIM alumni but still he created such a repo in the industry that even IIM and IIT grads dream of working in his organisation. There are many examples including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell and many more they were all deprived of attaching a brand name but with their sheer hardwork, talent and self confidence they themselves have made their name a BRAND.

It's great if you can get a kick start in your career by getting a brand name but if in case you are not lucky then you should not worry. Because now there is a chance to make your name a BIG BRAND right? Your talent is not dependent of some organisation or institution to tag it as TALENTED but what matter is your confidence and self belief which takes you ahead in your life. Better know your strengths and weakness and work accordingly.


Though I am writing this article but I am also trying hard to attach a brand name. Since it's a human nature, we should never loose hope but at the same time we should keep in mind that it is not the only thing.


Thank you for being so patient and Wish u a great life ahead...!!!

CWG: National Pride @ Stake????



CWG: National Pride @ Stake????

Hello Friends..

My journey of blogging is going great. Hope you all are also enjoying reading..!!!

When matter is about the country or its pride I can't stop myself commenting. Same is the case today. It's always great to host an international tournament not only it helps us to be in limelight but also allows an opportunity to showcase our culture, religion and to go global.

Friends it's true we are in the midst of our CWG preparations and hardly two months left for the D-day. So its time when the committee members have to take the onus of hosting the event successfully. But since last two days what am I listening that Our National Stake is pride??? There are allegations of Money siphoning outside the country???? What this??? This type of news not only put our moral down but also questions our administration.

Rs 35000 Cr is the Amount that was sanctioned for the CWG but still Mr Suresh Kalmadi was caught saying that we need some more money for the development of the stadiums and all that jazz. This type of demands simply questions Are we Really in a State to Host an International Event like CWG???

Many a time, Congress officials caught saying that These type of International events bring national pride to us. But my friends we are a country where 40% of world's starving people exist and we are a country where other than cricket no other sport has a credit to its name. So are these issues not a part of our national pride??? I reckon rather than spending 35000 Cr on this event, if we have spent even 1/10th of this amount on development of training centers and training our National players we would have earn more pride by winning Medals outside country.

Second issue which is paradox to the National pride is Why Don't we host these international events in other cities of the country??? Is Delhi alone represents the country??? Instead of sanctioning whole amount to Delhi govt. if they had given this opportunity to other states then I think we would have been in much better situation than that of we are at present. In that case other cities also have got the opportunity to contribute a little to the national pride.

Cost of 1 A.C is 4 Lac, Cost of a Treadmill is 9 Lac, Aren't these figures shocking??? You believe it or not but yes this is true. Such a big amount is flowing for the event. There are allegations that pervert politicians have siphoned this money outside the country and not allowing it to be useful for the event. Govt. should take immediate steps to identify the pervert politicians and punish them.

I am speaking because we are a tax payer citizens and we have a right to identify where our money is utilized. Its our right to see that our money is utilized effectively, efficiently and transparently. More over our national pride is at stake. But at last whatever be the case We have to be happy and celebrate that CWG will held in October. Still 62 Days left and committee members should contribute and try their level best to make this event a success.

As an Indian I can only be optimistic and hopeful that This event will surely be a great success and will bring National pride.

Jai Ho..!! Thanxx for being so patient..Do share your valuable comments..!!!

Modeling: A Traumatic Career..!!


Modeling: A Traumatic Career..!!

Hello Friends,


I always say LIFE is very beautiful and if we can't enjoy it then surely it's our fault. Two days back one of the most happening models of the B-Town Viveka Babajee has committed suicide and ended her life. Speculations are rife that she must be in depression and survival was impossible for her so she took that decision.

I always wonder why such beautiful girls and ladies of B-Town who are blessed with almost all the things which are required for a successful life but still they end up committing suicides. This is not the first case of the B-Town when some model has committed suicide but in the past there were several models who had been through this typical phase of life. In fact there are some models who were so drug addicted they lost all their senses. I always thinks what is the reason for such suicides. Is Modelling life so traumatic??


What I personally realize is that there is not a single reason for the failure of models. There are various factors which contribute to such disaster.

Firstly, As we all know that Going Ups and Downs in career is very natural phenomenon . No body can be a king for whole life. Same is case with the life of the models. When they enter into their modeling career they are pretty young faces and most of the biggies of the town are also happy to cast them into new roles and make the most of them. This is very much fine. But as the life progresses and their job becomes demanding then they have face several thing which are not at all acceptable by them. But since their job is demanding that from them so, they have to do it whatever the situation is. This sometimes creates frustration in them.

Secondly, the modeling culture is so different that they are hardly accepted by the sophisticated people of the society. Drinking, Smoking and doing all the other things which society consider it as a curse are pretty common for them. But since models have to survive and to maintain their status they have to do it. So whenever they walk on ramp or go in parties they are highly appreciated by the people around them but when they actually face the reality they find themselves aloof. Very few parents would love to see their daughters walking on ramp and showcase their body. But most girls take this decision against the will of their parents and society and find that even their loved ones are also not with them. They are in fact totally debarred from the society. So this feeling creates frustration and at the end they find that no one is their to support them in difficult times.

Thirdly, since they are aloof so they find someone who can take care of her and can provide the basic necessities of life. But since they belong to such an extreme profession that a person of sophisticated society is hard to get. So they find solace in the people around them whom they met in parties etc. But there also the path is not easy. Both model and her partner are together just because both of them are getting publicity and they are pretty happy with buzz of their affair. But my friends, any relationship just for the sake of publicity will never ever go long and one day it has to collapse. So one more shock for the model, what she thought to be her life partner ends up ditching her. So another frustration and another despair.


So through this article what I mean to say that nothing is permanent in this universe and whether you are a model, business professional or any other celebrity one thing should be kept in mind that if you have reached to the pinnacle then one day you have to once again come the ground only. So why don't you accept that heartily.

At last I just want to convey the message that Life is full of opportunities and never consider yourself worthless. These models are a big message to the society that what human being needs is satisfaction. So your ultimate aim should be to seek satisfaction and live your life happily.

Thankss a lot for being so patient..!! Waiting for your views..So Do comment..!!!

Story of Father and Son..!!!


Hello Friends…!!!!

On this Special Day...i.e World Father's Day I thought Why shouldn't I share such a heart touching story....!!!! So here's the story..Plz read it to get full message...!!!!


A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy
book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible.It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation,
and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected???? Some Things r Realized when they r not with us...!!!

So I personally Think Father & Son are world's Best Friends..who understands each others feelings very well..So REVERE every Decision of his and Understand his teachings very well...!!!

Thanxx for being so patient..!!!

I am TWEETING.....Are YOU..????
















I am TWEETING...Are YOU..???

Hello Friends...!!!

Am Back after a long gap. I was bit busy with all my silly stuffs of the college and all that jazzz...!!! But any ways I am back with some what new topic.

This time around the world has gone socially addicted. No I am not talking about any weird thing, but in fact I am talking about TWITTER and other social networking sites...!!! These days I am very much addicted to twitter. Not only me but almost all the celebrities, business professionals and every other individual is using it.

Every Individual is now asking questions to everyone, Hey Dude "I am on TWITTER, ARE You???". So this simply shows that How this micro blog which only provides you a space of 140 characters is ruling the mind of people. Every body is socially addicted.

There are several advantages of getting used to this Social Networking. First of all it provides you with instant updates of what all is happening in the world. Since most of news channels are using Twitter and Facebook, So those following can get instant access to the news from anywhere in the world.

More over There are thousands of job portals who are making students and job seekers aware of the latest jobs of their choice. Like I am following http://www.freshersworld.com/which provides me instant access to the recent happening in the world of corporates. I get daily updates about the companies which are on a hiring spree.

Since many students and business professionals are using it as a tool to expand their business and as a source of information, Celebs are also not devoid of this addiction. I can see almost every celebrity tweeting every update.

Many Says that This Twitter and Facebook is all for the youngsters. Who Says this?? Recently the most senior pro of our Bollywood industry Mr Amitabh Bachchan Started his twitter account and in no time his followers reached One Lakh. So this simply shows that how every body want to make their presence felt in the world of Social Networking.

Many thinks that this is a sheer waste of time. But my dear friends you will be shocked to know that companies have started identifying how socially active a person is??? You simply type a name on Google and it will display your presence in the world of Social networking. So like We are socially active in our society it is the need of the hour to be socially active on Web too.

Though Social Networking is Advantageous but it has flip side too. Like we are updating every information of ours on the twitter and facebook and all the other social networking website, this has allowed an easy access for the terrorist and criminals to identify the full portfolio of a person and can easily trace out where the person is at present. This is a biggest threat social sites are suffering from. But it depends on the individual what information they want to display and what to not. It is very important for a person what image they want to project in front of their peers. Whatever they will write the other person will be able to know. So Take it as a Caution: You have to keep your privacy intact while doing social networking.

But anyways despite having some flaws in social networking every individual is loving it and getting addicted to it. In fact now with the Introduction of 3G in the country this thing will definitely going to rise and you will find people using it very frequently and that too at an ease. Whether this Sociall Networking boom in India is going to be hit or not only time will tell. Keep your fingers crossed.

So Friends I am surely tweeting and facebooking...Are you....??? Join Social networking websites and make your presence felt globally. I am personally enjoying this newly generated interest in social networking. Hows you feeling..??? Do reply and share your social networking experience..!!!

Thank you..!!!!
