Think outside the box

Campus placements!! One of the most scariest or depressing part of anyone's bitsian life. The saddest part, sometimes getting the job can be worse than not getting it since getting job is easy. Oh, I forgot this post has to be about interviews. So, lets skip all this. I think that "Interview" should be renamed as "Endview" as it will be the end part of your placement. Cracking an interview can sometimes be very tricky. Some people say that best way to ace an interview is just to be yourself while my friends say Interviewers are there to fuck you and you have to fuck them in return whosoever stops, LOSES!! 

Few days back, I came across this interview question which I would like to share it with you and requests you to go though the question first think of your answer and then have a look below :

Question:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,

It's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

An old friend who once saved your life.

The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?


* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;

* Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to! Pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

He candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.

Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital...

I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."


P.S. : People please leave comments !!

Strange Coincidence !!!


Don't know why things happen when you least expect them to? No not when there is quiz in the class or you come to know that your wallet is missing when you are about to pay the bill. I'm talking about the weird stuff, something different. Like missing time, goggle search, seeing someone you least wanted to meet and all dat.

Wonderful coincidence: yesterday, I was sitting on my notebook and at night someone pings me, it was from a girl on which I had I crush on during high school. Now, the most surprising thing was that I never added her on my gtalk nor did she. Also, we never had any communication after the school. I was really astonished and still wondering how strange this coincidence is??

It's not so cool: Few days back, one of my friend posts a very nice quotation on his blog. Now, I and my other friends put it on our gtalk status and we didn't mention his name with that, just to tease him. Obviously, he gets angry as he felt cheated after coming up with such a creativity and innovativeness and didn't get the much deserved credit. Next day, again when he saw that quote on our gtalk statuses, he got angry and started slandering me like a scapegoat but, I took it with a smile. He puts all this on his blog. Though, deep down I also felt bad. Now the most surprising part, out of curiosity I just goggled that text. Why should this surprise me? Out of 9820 results, first one was my friend's blog post and next one was from some quote site. When I opened that site, I was astonished to see the almost exact quote mentioned with the source and the worst part; it was taken from a series which all of us has watched....
