Somethings in life are unexplainable ....they are like the Murphy's law.. what can go wrong will go wrong ... no matter how what you do or how much ever efforts you put ......... well I was destined to one such experience yesterday :(
Had my MBA interview yesterday ....... I must have prepared for this interview for the last one week or so ....... I prepared myself for every possible topic which I cud think of ........ I prepared myself for all types interviews ....stress interviews .....surprise questions ......rapidfire interviews and what not ..........questions on my essays........ my hobbies .......my extracurricular activities .......... current business stories and political stories
But I enter the interview room ......it is a normal interview ( hell not even that ........just a discussion.) ......... the topic they quiz me ???????? you guessed it right ..... none of wat I had prepared on !!!!!!! ........some damn question on my company's product Vs some rival company product..( ok I shud have preped on this .....but then perhaps this was only topic I had overlooked) ......... caught offguard .........some questions on my domain which thankfully I was a champion in ............ a stupid marketsize question......( hell I don't want to get into Consulting/marketing..... why the hell shud I estimate market sizes !!!!!!) .......
but that is way it is but as they say .. it aint over till the fat lady sings ( and sings a tune which I like ) .........and the fat lady sings after 40 days ...... wat do I do till then .....go ahead with my Plan B and hope Murphy does not spoil my party this time

Welcome 2007
It is that time of the year again .. where we are all buckled up stay up the whole night, drink and party into the Midnight till the next day ....... all in the name of stepping into the new year ...... welcoming "it" in style .......my 2 cents on this .. it is yet another reason for the party animals or rather the drinking animals to go on a drinking binge ..........
Parties apart the new year has another pecularity ...... the resolute resolutions which the junta vows...... the most common being . ........will exercise .. will spend time effectively .. will not procastinate and so on but the top ones have to be ..will stop smoking ....will drink less or stop drinking all together ........how many of them are really able to keep up these promises ??? ...I bet even if 50% of these smokers and drinkers kept there resolutions and promises........the ITCs, marlboros and the Kingfishers of world would have been out of business by now ..........
the problem with the human psychology is that he always looks for exceptions to any rule..(be it as simple as wearing an helmet while driving a bike .. how many of them wear helmets to go to the neighbourhood grocery store ??) ........ so the human exceptions begins to take effect after "some" days into resolutions .... your frnd throws in a party .. your thought ??? it is ok to drink in Parties afterall drinks in small quantities is good for health........ next u eat your stomach full at the party .. and remember the old cliche ....... " smoking settles the food nicely ".......so I will smoke whenever I eat some good food........ next you say .. I will smoke only post dinner and lunch .........and so the resolutions story continues .........thru the year .......... circa 01.Jan.2008........ you are still thinking..... should even take a resolution this year ??????..nay .........
PS : I don't have such resolutions this year. If one needs to change some habit of his .. you don't have to wait till the new year for it ...... it can happen anytime anyday........all it requires is the right trigger .......
