Placement Experience - II

Well As mentioned before i was no longer unemployed ..but the truth was that i was not happy either, with an in hand salary of INR 13,000 pm and a place like Bangalore .. i would be still dependent upon my father's money ,hence i needed a second job desperately which to my surprize came in just a week ...
The second round of the placement began and the first company to arrive was Onmobile .Now Onmobile believes that they are a reincarnation of Microsoft in India ... do most of their hiring based on puzzles even though microsoft stopped asking the same puzzles long time back.On the day of the exam i took a bath and all other things just not to repeat the same mistakes again and then i was rejected in the first written puzzle round itself.
Now the second company came by the name of Induslogic .. a 5 yr old startup which alledgely almost went bankrupt and then pulled through and now was doing good. I was skeptic about the company first but made up my mind about trying to join as soon as i heard that they offer free food to all employees and the food is best in the industry... to a person like me nothing else mattered .
Also i had to figure out what went wrong in Onmobile so the mistake is not repeated again ... after one hour of careful introspection i concluded that there is no way in hell that i am taking a bath that day..so in my usual horrible face and hygiene went for the written exam ... which was a little awkward in the sense that the time limit on some of the sections was 3 minustes.That gave only 8 seconds to look at a question ..think about the answer .... then think where is the OCR sheet .... then find the corresponding question on the sheet ..and then mark the answer on it.Surprisingly i cleared the written exam and was placed in the list of 40 selected candidates for Interview sheduled for the next day .
The next day again the same dilema ..to bath or not to bath .I decided to take the bath not for the sake of overcoming my superstition but for the fear of gassing the Interviewer to Death.
After Mentally preparing myself for a difficult tech interview for 3 hrs ,i was informed at the last moment that i would be facing HR first.I mentally prepared myself for an ugly fellow geek asking brainstorming Tech questions and i was told that i would be facing a Hot Chick Named Miss Shalu who would screw my brain with stupid HR questions ..anyway composed myself and went in . Saw Miss shalu ,she was little chubby(yes fat people have feelings too!!) nice looking girl .She asked me to sit .. ,at the first moment my visionary sensors coupled along with my neurons scanned some chipps and other stuff lying on the table .. giving me the feeling that interviewer was one of my own and the intentions were not hostile.she asked me about my projects ,my family etc. At one time she asked ..ok ankit where does your sister study????
I told Delhi university ..to which she asked which college .. and at this moment came the weakest moment in Brother-Sister relationship when i forgot the name of my sister college . Thought for some 3 seconds staring blank at her.then realized "Moron!!! say the name of any college ". I replied that she is doing computer honours from Hindu college .Later I was told by my sister on phone " You stupid !!!! there is no computer honours in hindu college".The rest of the interview passed easily ...what can i say chubby people click with each other.
Later I was told that i cleared HR and was among top 25 candidates.Now had to face a tech interview.
Went in and met my interviwer a decent techi who did asked some serious questions ... The Interviwer was helpful and understanding ... atleast knew what he was asking .The Interview lasted some 45 minustes , compared to the tech interview at TCS which lasted 4 minutes.
About an hour after my tech interview the results were anounced ... my name was third in the list as a token of love a crappy T-shirt was given to me by the Senior manager ....went to my hostel to check out the shirt and realized "The induslogic Idiots gave a small sized T-shirt for my phenominally large body.Later I gave the T-shirt to my sister as a token of love (actually as a token to forgive me that i forgot her college name).
My current package is 3.6 lpa (4.1 CTC actually 4.5 CTC ...they dont know yet about my eating stamina).The Office building is also cool.Shortly after my selection the name of the company was changed to Global Logic after an international merger.
