Rant, Rant, Rant

There's this strange but true phenomenon about me. I can only be creative late at night. Like now, for example. Its 9:14 pm, a perfectly reasonable time for a person to have had his/her dinner, watched some TV, decided against coffee and turn on the computer in expectation of squeezing some creative juices. But does the creativity juice flow? Nooooo. Not for me at least. It must be the magical combination of heavy eyelids, yawning mouth & scrubbed face. Grrr.

So considering that I'm in a 'rant' mode, let me tell you about my interview.
Today I had a Group Discussion & Personal Interview (GD/PI for short) session for my MBA entrance exam. Since Dad & I have decided that unless I get a 'A' list college from Bombay, I won't be going for it. I mean, what the use, right? I'll just be wasting two more years on a mediocre degree & will get a mediocre job. It'll be much better to get married, go some place nice and then enroll in a good college. So, anyway, I was there, 10 minutes early, neatly dressed in a Salwaar-Kameez & completely stress-free.

I had a little trouble in finding the exact building in the Pune University campus (I mean, the place is huge! Must be at least 20 kilometers in radius). After I parked my car, I went there and was made to sit in a classroom and fill out a form. It contained questions like, "What are your strengths and weaknesses?", "Which one of your family you'd save first in case of a fire?" and "What is the biggest mistake of your life?". So I spent my 30 minutes in answering these questions, keeping them as far from reality as I could. Later, we were given a serial number (I was no. 11) and made to sit in a semi-circle. Our topic for the GD was "Is Common Sense more important to running a business that Genius?". I did my thing.

Later came the PI. There were two guys who were interviewing me. They were trying the good ol' 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' routine. But after a couple of minutes due to my charming manners, both of them turned into 'Good Cops'!

Well, lets see how it turns out... I mean, either way I win, right? Anyhoo, I've got another one of the GD/PIs on the 28th. Will have to miss out on one of the south Indian summer weddings. Anyway, the heat at this time of year in the south is simply unbearable! Phew! God luck, Mum, she's going, by the way.
