I was waiting outside the room, chatting with a girl about the probable questions based on the feedback given by candidates who came out earlier. 2 of them were asked major cities in Orissa. This girl said that she knows only Bhubaneshwar(college unnadhe akkada adhi telikunda ela untundi :P). I said I know Bhubaneshwar and Cuttack(antha kante manaki matram em telisi chachindile). I was called in.
3 people were present sitting far from each other.(kottukunnaremo)
Good Morning Sirs!
Good Morning Sudheer! Sit down please!
Thank You Sir!
So, Sudheer tell me something about yourself
I am Sudheer(vaallaki telsule) Sir. I did my schooling at Hyderabad till 12th.
Louder! Are you nervous?
A bit Sir.This is my 1st bschool GDPI
Well you need not be (cha naaku istam mari)
I am in my final year of graduation-Chemical Engineering from BITS Pilani Goa Campus. Currently I am working at Ultratech Cements in Anantapur dist. of A.P. as part of curriculum; its called Practice School 2.
Sudheer, I find your performance a bit amazing. Is this 6.29 out of 10 or 8?
10 Sir
How many students are there in your class?
Around 60 Sir
That means you'll be among 20 from the last?
Yes Sir 15-20 from the last
Why is that? You had 94.8 and 95.8 in boards.
Complacent nature because of joining a reputed college and staying away from home for the first time.
So you enjoyed!
First year performance was abysmal Sir. I tried to pick up from there and will end up with 6.94 by the time I graduate.
You went to beaches and all?
No Sir. I went to beach only once and lost my phone so never went again (they laughed; naa phone pothe meeku navostunda :x)
What will be your next performance based on these figures? Tell me as a maths student.
It'll improve Sir. First it increased from 10th to 12th then it decreased so the pattern says it should increase (navveskunnaru)
What do you expect your CG would be out of 8 at XIMB?
7 Sir
Thats Ambitious! Where does Chemical Engineering fit in a cement industry? (industry lo kaaka intlo untunda pani)
Chemical Engineers are required in any industry involving large scale processes with heat and mass transfer.
What are the major problems faced by a cement industry?
In the place where i am working..
No tell me general problems.. You must've gone around the plant, right?
Yes Sir. Managing human resources is a problem and sometimes they have to shut down whole plant for maintenance.
They do that?
Yes Sir they shut it down 35 days a year
So what is the 2nd law of Thermodynamics? (adigesava karma)
*Blank look-trying to remember something which is not even there*
Ok tell me the 1st law atleast (Cha teliste 2nd law ki cheppesevadini numbers pattimpu peddhaga ledhu manaki)
*Same blank look and long pause; mind lo energy conservation etc. running but didnt speak up*
Ok why do you want to do an MBA now?
*Answer secret* :P
But you'll know that when you work for a while say 1 or 2 years
Yes Sir but *secret* :P
What are your interests?
Playing and watching football, reading some books
Which position do you play?
Defense
Where? (vinapadaleda cheppaga)
Defense
I mean the position (adha nee godava)
Centre back
Do you know ***** (gurtuledu)
No Sir
You are preparing for MBA and you dont know that author? (maradhe teliyalani rule undha)
No Sir
What is the last book you read?
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (sagam kuda chadavaledu aa habits enti ani adigunte padedhi bokka)
Aah your coaching institute must ve told you
No Sir a lecturer from BITS
Who wrote that book?
Stephen Covey Sir
What does he do?
He was a Harvard graduate and Professor
How many rupees is a dollar?
American dollar Sir? (:P)
Yes American
40 to 45 Sir
You may as well say 1 to 100 (ani navveskunnadu kullu joke)
Around 45 Sir
Who decides that? RBI? Obama? Who?
It varies depending on the inflation in these countries Sir and the foreign exchange
Thank You Sudheer!
Thank You Sirs!

Sudheer-Magadheera
Don't know why IIMs are so kind to me that they don't want me to take the trouble of traveling to attend their GD-PI sessions. Instead of accepting defeat for conducting CAT so horribly they now are making things worse by showing that even they lost belief in their own exam. They came up with weird shortlisting criteria and God knows why we had to write CAT in first place when people above 99.9 are still waiting for a single call! The rest of the post is a movie spoof and is in Telugu.
Me: M(Magadheera) IIM Representative: S (Sher Khan)
S: Mocks lo King. 100 percentile thaggani peddha veerudu.. Maansingh nuvvu cheppina charitra uttha burra katha ani ippude nirupista chudu... Ey Bhairava neeku okka call kuda rakunda chustanani maaticha... CAT voucher konakunda naa kaallaki salaam kotti po... ninnu GRE tho vadilesta
M: Nenu neeku maatistunna Sher Khan... Aa CAT paper rayanivvu ninnu nee IIM janalni praanalatho odilesta
S: Naaku prana bhiksha pedatava! Khuda hu main! Nee ontlo roshamunte nee kathalo nijamunte slots lo toughest slot neekista 100% kottu IIMA lo seat neeke ichesta
M: Evaru cheyaleni questions vetiki maree pampinchu
S: Vaatini chustene nuvvu sagam chastav raa
M: Ekkuvaina parledu lekka thakku kakunda chusko
S: okka question odilina nuvvu odinattera
M: okoka question kaadhu Sher Khan anni questions oke sari immanu
S: ee pogaru maatallo kadhuraa exam lo chupinchu...
S: okati rendu... iravai aidhu... nalabhai... yabhai thommidi... aravai!
M: chaala Sher Khan inko aravai question lu adugutava
S: Shabhash! Bhairava! Intha kalam CAT peru vinte exam ki raakunda unna students ni paper chuste bhayam tho paaripoina vallani chusanra.. question lu raakapoina istamochinatu edokati pette dhairyanni mottamodhati sari chustunna raa!
After results:

Mahesh Babu: MMTS-Khairtabad Hero scene in Pokiri
Pawan Kalyan: Sidhu Sidharth Roy scene in climax of Khushi

Brilliance and Stupidity!
Hey folks! Just watched 'Yuganiki Okkadu'(YO). Though the movie appeals only to a select audience, the visual grandeur is breathtaking. Considering movies like Magadheera and YO, we are making great progress technically. Kudos to producers like Allu Arvind and Raveendran(produced Tagore, Ghajini) for Magadheera and YO respectively and of course to the real heroes Rajamouli(Magadheera) and Selva Raghavan(7/G, AMAV, YO).
Coming to the point of the post: Before I could bask in the pride of increasing standards in the industry, I happened to go through a debate in the blog of a noted hero's relative, who is a technician himself. He wrote an article comparing records of Magadheera and Adhurs because some people claimed that Adhurs will beat the records of Magadheera. To start with, the comparison itself is a pathetic one as one movie was a periodic film and the other is just another commercial flick. This blogger-cum-producer need not react to such claims, but he did! This opened up a debate in the comments section of the article with fans spilling their boiling blood in the form of comments.
One says Magadheera is purely a technical film and the other says Adhurs is a hit because of Brahmanandam! A third guy chips in: "Pokiri had a dream run of 175 days in 59 centers whereas Magadheera could manage just 3 centers and Pokiri created an all time record with a 4 show houseful run in a theater for 66 days continuously"
Common people like you and me may not understand that a successful movie is the effort of some brilliant minds working together but at least a person inside the industry shouldn't go about spurring debate with his blog. This is when I felt that in our industry, we successfully married Stupidity to Brilliance and we also contribute on a regular basis for their successful married life!

ACI Oh My God!
A project which I cannot care less, GDPI calls which I have to start preparing for(no clue how), travel arrangements which I have a lot to make; these sum up my life since January. Thanks to David Crane and Marta Kauffman for F.R.I.E.N.D.S, which I watched again and killed leisure time (the whole time) in January. I can't stop appreciating David Schwimmer for 'Ross'; he absolutely lived it.
As every other good thing, F.R.I.E.N.D.S came to an end. Thanks to the investment made on TV Tuner and IDEA Netsetter, I have been able to survive this place. Then, I started to explore my external HDD and found Air Crash Investigations (ACI), which I used to watch at college and liked a lot. It is a TV show of Nat Geo, where the whole investigation of an air crash(true incidents) is made by experts and interviews of victims or their families are shown.
There are about 100 episodes in all (not sure). Some of the accidents are so frightening that some people may start avoiding air travel unless it is necessary. There is this accident where the door of the plane and the fuselage attached just rips off and 5 rows of seats are also thrown into space; imagine the kind of death. The part where the door is gone is open and some people are actually without roof. The pilot however manages to land the plane. Whats more disturbing is the interview of the family members of one of the passengers whose seat is thrown into the atmosphere. His father hopes that he fell into the engine and got crushed as it is a faster death rather than falling from that height.
No matter how much the airlines industry learns from the mistakes and rectifies, there is always a chance for human or mechanical error or may be bad weather.
Stats from Wiki:
Deaths per billion hours
Bus-11.1
Rail-30
Air-30.8
Water-50
Van-60
Car-130
Foot-220
Bicycle-550
Motorcycle-4840
There is danger everywhere, no point in avoiding air travel ;)
Just downloaded the crash investigation of AIR INDIA flight bombed by sikh terrorists over the Atlantic ocean; will go watch that... you people have a great time :).
