1st in the class-BULL FACTOR

After a long long time, i have something in my mind which is really boggling. Whats with "मेरा बच्चा class में 1st आता है". Now that type of phrases are used universally but most prominent in the very own country (INDIA). Now a days its a taboo to be any lesser than the top 5 students in the class i.e some how all the 60 students of the class should come within the first 5 ranks..Now thats virtually impossible, if at all; all the students have equal scores.

Why are parents/people so obsessed with their kid being in the top 5 of the class, why cant he/she be average, The way i would put is : people want their kid to overpower other kids i.e superiority complex is inflicted in the early age itself (thats what i feel). Whats wrong in people/students having grades or just the two parameters PASS & FAIL. The previous statement is quite helpless just because of the insanely driven competitive spirit inside every one of us (ref: the superiority aspect) but this is how people would be admitted to different areas/institutes of priority. Nothing wrong in sorting out the students with their marks but don't rank them on academics basis , give a unanimous call over a candidates presence and his/her overall performance. As we do not have equal scope for every field all want to jump into the field with the least conflict i.e which some how places us in safe grounds.

PURPOSE of the POST
  • So what if your kid is 1st in the class- there is no way he/she did it all because of him/her self or because of his/her intellect, he/she has been properly guided and severely attended to come to this state ( so its all because of the extrinsically governed factors and not the individual effort )
  • Coming 1st in the class has no unthinkably special attributes- he/she gets promoted the same way as i get, just the difference lies in the felicitation and other popularity integrated features with the topper unlike me...what the heck!!!, i don't want such felicitation
  • Which SUCCESSFUL person had been 1st in the class- not thats the bottom line!!!!!, there are virtually no universally acclaimed people who were toppers during their times, so probably you (topper) would lie in the same old middle/upper class category but at least i have a chance of being the most successful person on earth and if not that, i have fair chances of catching up with you sooner or later.
I can place some other 100 wage facts which would place the "1st in the class" person in shear pain. Let me clarify one thing from the above: "I have no grudge over people who are the TOPPERS of their class or peer group", its just the way candidates are exposed to superiority complex from the beginning of their academics; really really drives me crazy.


PS: No solution to it as its not some problem, likewise there is nothing possibly done to constrain institutes over this TOPPERS demarcation. SO BE IT...
PS: I am least affected, coz i have experienced both the extremes i.e a just pass candidates and also the so called TOPPER have been experienced by me. ;-D
PS: I have a very caustic feeling that when someone comes and says it to my parents they would probably be having thoughts like " काश मेरा बेटा ऐसा होता" or "When will I get to say such things about my kid"......;-(

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day.

Also note down your agg...

The candidate you want to hire

If you are hiring, the best fit for you would be someone who can fit right-in without any kind of training. There are a lot of guys like that out in the market, but the challenge is that you need to find them, that explains why monster.com and naukri.com is such a big hit. So, I’ve been doing some interviewing for quite a long time now, and I believe that some of the good ways for you to find a candidate is to: Target potential companies and not candidates – if you find a company that works exactly like you do, then you get candidates from there who fit right in. Target communities – Be a part of the community, contribute to the community, and hire people from the community. Coz a candidate in a community shows that he is passionate about his line of work and is working more to get things done besides his office work. Address pain points – Yes! It is a business strategy and not some hiring strategy ( I think, I got that from my MD’s talk in a leadership meet ). It is very general,...
