First Interview of my life

After reading blogs of so many of my friends, at last I decided to start blogging... what a time to start --- compre begins in less than 48 hours..!!!
This is about my first interview of the professional career - DreamWorks. After thinking for a long time whether to be 4-1 on/ off i finally decided to give a shot, take risky chances and challenge my luck and took 4-1 off (not a preferred choice by many of 'high CG' Bitsians). Many things happened after that-- parents were worried whether their son had lost it all... peers were certain that i'm a fool... and even i was convinced that they were right...!!! cut the crap, i come directly to the interview stuff...

I was to have a telephonic interview from 8.30 -9.30 pm, 2 interviews one after the other of 30 mins each. 1st one was majorly H.R. and some what technical, but the fact that a Bits senior was takin it, i felt at ease... It went well, though had a few hiccups in between. Somehow i told her that i liked 'Shrek-2' very much (but remebered nothing about it!!) and she was excited as i guess it was her first work or smthin... n there I was 'BLANK'.. i have seen over 400 hollywood movies after comin to BITS... i dunno how on earth I left that out!!! It got extended for about 10 minutes.. and in the meantime the second interviewer called at my home-- as it was my second no. I called her back at her no in U.S. but, I can tell you one thing---American Accent is not my cup of tea... I had to literally say like this---- 'S' for Sunrise, 'U' for Umbrella et al. and the guy sitting at PBX just couldn't get it... I was thinkin that we were conversing in different languages!!! and even after 10 minutes of perseverance I could not get past him to the interviewer and then finally frustrated he put me on hold.... 13 mins gone, I finally hung up.Advice -- Never ever call your interviewer, as she'll be herself calling you during that time.
As soon as i hung up, i got an incoming call...and as i picked up, she was like--- 'I'm trying to get a hang of you for the last 20 minutes... where are you..!!!'. I was frustrated and speechless...I was like WTF!!! Then she asked me questions I had never thought about in life....one was -- 100 floors in a building and an elevator---what would you optimize and how..? and you dont get thinkin time...!!! I blabbed something or the other, totally confident that it wasnt the right answer..!!!! Then suddenly she asked a weird question--- i had no answer, though i tried anwering... she disconnected the phone right after my first statement.. It was 9.29 p.m. I was still in shock about what all had happened...and couldn't believe i screwed it all up so easily...
Dejected, frustrated I came back to my room.., downloaded 'Shrek-1,2,3' from dc++ and started doing what i do the best--- watch movies..!!!!

Suddenly at night 1 a.m. i had a new message from DreamWorks on gmail--- we would like to talk to you once more.I cant right my feelings at that point of time in words..! By that time I knew there was no use opening books and reading stuff.. as that doesnt help at all... so i just had a good night sleep.. watched roadies, splitsvilla, and all other sitcoms-- 2.5 men, himym, big bang theory et al... The next day when the call came-- she asked just one question...
U have a dinosaur, sheep and grass on an island. sheep eat grass, dinosaur eats sheep. estiamte the size of island so tht dino doesnt die of starvation..!!! Again clean Bowled.... I was like a tail ender facing Glenn McGrath at his very best form...!!! I knew it wasnt as simple as 1 sheep and dino will die anyway...!!!!(If u were thinkin of that as an obvious answer!!!!) I said something... and that was all...
I was pretty much sure I have to look for Indian Interns...I was so depressed at having lost it all.. I didnt attend classes for next 2 weeks/... but after around a week at night 10 p.m. i got a call and was offered an offer... Now I'm looking forward to an experience of a lifetime... (and in the mean time screwing Compres...!!!)
