INTERVIEWING THE JUNIORS


A year seems as if it was yesterday.

It seems as if it was yesterday, when I was attending the introtalks about various sections of iitr and there was a eerie feeling about it’s toughest part, taking of interview by the seniors. A drain of fear ran across us, as if we are going to face some really iron-stud man, perhaps because many of us were facing interview for the first time and many of us were fed and grown up with its fear. Well I correctly remember how dirty I was feeling after every deadly encounter with a senior and how much lately I had repented that if I had not been nervous I could have done better...!!

Today is 7th and I just came after interviewing few juniors for some project. Well it was a complete wonderful experience, sitting at the seniors’ hot seat and taking interviews of the juniors. Fear and hesitation on their faces reminds me of my initial days in iitr.

Me: name??
He: (stammered).... told his name.
Me: Why you wanna do this project??
He: aaa.. uu....hhmmm... aise hi..!!
Me: what?? Do you have any idea of what this project is all about??
He: well... yaaa.... this is related to the development in villagers condition.. something like dat??
Me: so what you will do in this project??
He: hmm.. vo actually I didn’t knew anything about this project..
Me: ohk.ohk.. so tell me what will you do to help villagers??
He: hmm.. we will give them our old clothes, food etc.etc.
Me: what?? So you are thinking we are going in some beggar’s village just to give them something like this.. so you gonna feed them like the beggars.... you know what? That is a kind of village where 4-5 people are having computers.... they are not poor in all these necessary need... they just need education, and some guidance... so we are working to help by instructing them.
He: ok.... ok... I didn’t mean this.... hmmm....aaa.... yaaa.. o.ok...!!
Me: ok.. I am done... will inform you in case...
