What they cant teach you for Placement : The Morning

It was the morning of 14th December’2007 two days before the placements had to officially start , I just woke up by a wake up call from my dear friend and roommate, Simon that I have been shortlisted for ABC. Cool and calm that he was I thought It to be his usual bantering so I continued to have my exclusive sleep.
The thought didn’t die and half asleep I opened my laptop to find my name in that elusive list and hence my journey , ordeal or my path to discover myself started ,
Well half way through the day I have nearly read all the articles on the FMCG sector .Started with the AT Kearney report on it ,so engrossed were me and my friends in preparing that time went by like a breeze. The next day something special was lined up for me
ABC: the start of a saga
So there was I sitting in the GD of ABC, it was a case let one that I have already gone through so I assumed it would be a cake walk but I assumed. I spoke well fought my way, everyone nominated two of the guys as the best speaker and I being my humble self nominated myself little less that I thought it was the first of many to come. A short list of 8 people came in I stormed through the list my name was no where to be found. dejected as a wet hen I looked for a hiding , to find my solace in the smoke. I went back to my room .sitting with friends discussing my GD just going for a change a call came and made my day .I was selected for the interview it was an exclusive club that even the supposedly elite in our college didn’t get a chance to be part of .
The interview
Panel: Monstrous three
Rajan tell us about urself ?
Well a candidate ready to be screwed
what is branding ?
when u have a lot of brandy its branding
where do u want to be 5yrs down the line?
Screwing u bitch
what is the scope of branding electrical goods market?
As much as u have a scope of being Sylvester Stallone
Why ABC?
I think they need better people , just look at urself assholes
Well it took me 1 hour to tell them what I just narrated in a few lines and 5 hours to wait for my interview. That is the irony of life things seem simpler to explain after you come out of the interview chamber.
