How do people dodge questions

There is a new smarty pants in your office, there is a new nerdy kid at home, your smart cousin - who is a big shot - wants to learn what you do at work, to help you without actually being capable of helping you out. We meet people who are fully loaded with questions, but, certain questions they ask are secondary to us and frankly, we don't have answers for it.

How do smart people avoid silly/secondary questions, they start off by saying

"That's a good question...blah blah blah" or "They repeat the question and...blah blah blah". There are many other ways of making others think that you are going to answer the question without having to answer it. Some people are afraid that they might get caught, so they start off by saying

"I am no expert at it, but...blah blah blah" or "I have not thoroughly been exposed to this but...blah blah blah" or "In my perspective...blah blah blah"

The next time you run into a guy who gives such answers, make sure you cross check his answers in Wikipedia ;-). Trust me! you will be surprised to know the real answers ;-).

    The later happen more than often, people just don't bother to answer, but when questioned, they have to dodge it somehow.

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.
