Well now I have something I think not worthy of procrastination..
So here is my experience in the Pagalguy format
Hi puys [way of greeting Pagal Guys]!
Essay topic:-(was something like)
Trees are poems written by earth in the sky.
Man cuts the trees to make paper so that
he might write down his emptiness.
Comments about your performance : Wrote 3 and a half pages.(7.5 out of 10)
Personal Interview:-
I was the seventh one to be interviewed in the 2nd panel .Timing (about 20 minutes). There were two interviewers (I think both of them were Alumni) - P1 [young south indian guy](who was mostly asking the questions), P2 [young south Indian technical guy] (who asked last few questions). The panel was very chill. P1 laughing most of the time and P2 sometimes.I entered with a smile,P1 escorted me in.:o
Me:Good Morning sirs
(P1 &P2):good morning ,have a seat.
P1:Tell us about some famous personalities having the same name as you.
Me: Named some but could not tell their designations,P1 told me about them.
P1: I would not ask any questions from CSE but tell me what is science as you have been studying it since STD I.
Me: Oh,I said that it is about forming some hypothesis,validating it by proofs and then framing theory.
P1: are u satisfied with your definition?
Me:this is the best i can now ,there might be better definitions.
P1: So my mother is also a scientist ,If she is cooking a new curry she will also form an opinion (hypothesis) about how much salt to put,the validate it by tasting.. !!
Me: Oh sir that is science in everyday life (we all share a laugh)
P1: Asked what special did scientists do ,difference between opinion and hypothesis.
Me: The make new discoveries and innovations !! hypothesis is scientific opinion (we discussed more about why 'my mother is not a scientist' some talk on nomenclature and classification too )
P1: so you are from Dhanbad ,what is famous about it?
Me: Sir,It is the coal capital of India..
P1:how ,where is it written?
Me:because of large coal production etc.. It is written on the internet , also at Dhanbad we have many hoardings by CIL saying "Welcome to the Coal Capital of India"!! (chuckles ..)
P1: So if I take a wire and insert it in a glass of water,put the switch on ;what would happen ?
Me: Sir ,errr.... Short circuit (he laughs as if short circuit is some joke !! and picks a wire from the table lamp !!) no sir it would get heated ,not undergo electrolysis.
P1: so why heat, why not electrolysis oxygen and hydrogen getting separated?
Me: err .. electrolysis needs proper equipment.. and water must not be distilled. (we talked more about water as a conductor ,i said it is if not distilled finally he was somewhat satisfied when i talked about ions of impurities in water)
P1: so tell me what will happen ,will the water decompose,will it have H+ ions..,will it be acidic? (ohhhh!!)
Me: i said it might momentarily .. (he laughs again) [I forgot the funda of AC and DC current which is the reason water is heated by AC and electrolysed by DC :banghead:]
P1: Now lets move to the next level ,what is photon?
Me: sir , according to the wave particle duality principle,it is the particulate form of light. (discussion on wave-particle nature and hisenberg's uncertainty principle also on different types of photons [i remembered none !!] )
P1: so dual-nature hmm.. amplitude of a plastic bottle or the curtain cloth?
Me : it is very less ,duality is visible in sub-atomic cases (he moved the bottle to give it some amplitude but i took my stand)
P2: (now he is activated) What is Android?
Me: answered (talk on version names..)
P2: What is an Operating system?What is the difference between an OS for a computer and for a mobile?
Me: answered and explained (P1 said you are a computer engineer from a good college ,you must give more technical answers :shock: )
P2: What is RTI and its main activist who brought it?
Me : Explained RTI but did not know about activists (P2 so you don't read newspaper in depth hmmm..)
