29^th November 2007 3:00 ‘am’ DEEPINDER IS WIDE AWAKE AND GETTING READY FOR SOMETHING.. BUT WHATS THIS SOMETHING???

Let’s see…

Nine people had been shortlisted by Motorola for the written test for training at their compay. The test was today at Gurgaon at 10 am. So under such circumstances I was wide awake to catch the taxi at 3:45 am. Although against hope, we left finally at 4:05 am..

Cooly Calmly we reached Gurgaon at around 9:00 am. Gurgaon was a wonder with bigh buildings of big companies surrounding us. DLF, Convergys, TCS, IndiaBulls, Ericsson, Bata…. I could see myself somewhere in those cabs moving along with us, the executives wearing formals either listening to music, reading newspaper, sleeping and most of them tic tac toeing their mobiles… One of the ‘meem’s’ in a Honda city caught our attention. This wonderful young woman was polishing her nails. The scene ended ended with a fab quote from one of us.. “Style dekho, gaadi dekho aur err.. mobile dekho;) ) She held in her hand a 3120 :P

Anyways, reached the Motorola building, of course a nice one. We were asked to wait in the reception (handled not by a girl, but a guy) till the person we had to meet could see us.. We saw the various handsets of motorola being displayed at the reception counter… Mr. Wasan, the desired person was finally here. He lead us ito the cafeteria. A nice place with heavenly ambience. The coke cans one on end and the label of ‘CCD’ on other caught our attention and we were happy to think that people at Motorola are gonna treat us before they actually butcher us.

But!!! Yes a BIG BUT!!!! The smile was shortlived and it was actually marred when we heard Mr Wasan saying, “Everyone sit on separate benches, and please face me.” He held the question papers in hand and started distributing them. Finally out of courtesy he asked us, “Would u like to have something, tea Coffee etc.”… Damn !@#@#!$!!!! Was the answer I ate between my lips…

Anyhow the test finally started and here we had some blank faces gazing at the cans of diet coke… The test comprised of two parts. Techie and Comm skills. First the techie part, The comp sc. Students were expected to answer questions of core Electronics and to add to it the examiner had the guts to ask us… “Was the test really difficult”

Anyhow, the comm. Skills was bhoru. 3 questions, one an essay on which subject you like the least.. 2.. spot the difference b/w the two shown figures… 3) describe a gives block diagram setup…. In that tet span we were served water(mineral) and finally a cup of tea with double sugar…

That was the one and a half hour that we spent in te Motorola Building befre we were finally told to leave, with a word that 3 out of 9 students have done good and the final results will be sent to the placement in charge. The short listed candidates will then be called for interview in gurgaon itself!!!!!! We retreated through the gate we came in from, our eyes fixed on the Motorola sets displayed at the reception and a hope that they might give us one of those ;)

It was 11:45 am… Had been to gurgaon, how could we miss the malls. So spent 2 hours at malls and finally left back for patiala…

Now result Awaited and Fingers Crossed…!!!!!!!!!!!
