Sitting on other side of Table - 100th Post

Disclaimer : - Content Personal in nature. Can be avoided.

I am returning on this page after a gap of almost 3-4 months.Think I was never away for so long. And possibly the reason was resistance at 100th post, was thinking to write something special here but thought I can never do that so lets move and write some BS like I write always. Guess this is how the Sensex or share prices moves up and down, and stay at some point for longer duration - they have some resistance at some point but later they cross it without any good reason. Yeah I had a look at this terminology couple of days back.

Fortunately or unfortunately have completed my 4 years in HP last month on 7th Aug. Had never thought that I will last this long though my friends had no doubt about it owning to my lazy attitude. But I guess my working location kept on changing in all these 4 years which was the important factor for keeping me in same company and that too the one which I joined as a campus recruit. First Chennai, then Bangalore then Brussels and now back to Bangalore. Contemplating on different city option now, living in same city for longer duration makes me unhappy.

Last week I was offered to take interview for new applicants who have same level of experience or even more. And my first reaction was, what? I haven't given or taken a single interview post my campus interview what do you expect from me? But it was insisted so later accepted it and went for the interview. While accepting it I remembered the dialog which I gave almost 5 year back during my campus interview for the question - 'Where do you see yourself after 5 year from now'. For which I answered - 'Possibly on other side of the table' and we all had a good laugh. Little did I knew at that time that, it can turn into reality and I would be sitting on other side of the table exactly 5 year from then.

Anyways, as I never interviewed anyone before nor had any experience of job interview in my entire tenure of 4 years I was little bit scared. Yeah, interviewer is scared to take the interview. And had to do a little bit of preparation over the questions and some real time scenario over which I can ask question. Rest are company internal details so can't be divulge but all in all, its fun being there and a good experience in itself. And you may get a sudden realization that you have to work on your skills. :-)

P.S. : I may be coming with the Europe Travelogue and some interesting experience I had while my 350 days stay in Brussels. So keep visiting this page now onward.

P.P.S :  I never thought that I will be able to last this long or would reach 100th post. But I did. So much of underestimation probably.
