MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE WITH ORACLE – DREAM BIG, DREAM ORACLE

                The whole thing started a few weeks ago when we were informed that ORACLE systems will be there in our campus for recruiting.  As everyone know ORACLE is a pretty interesting place to work and the interview process is not going to be easy, I was up for a challenge and said I should go ahead. I prepared setting myself a target, because ORACLE was not just any company but was a dream for me.
                We had our online aptitude test on 6th AUG and the interview process was on 11th Aug, more than 200 people wrote online test on 6th and we were informed that the results will be after 2-3 days. After writing the aptitude test I was feeling bit confident to get shortlisted as my aptitude went well and still we had to eagerly wait for the shortlist. On 9th when the result came I was really happy to see my name in the list. Only 20 were shortlisted from all the 200+ students who had attended the process. I knew it was just the beginning and I have a big hurdle to cross ahead of me to make my dream come true.
                And then came the big day, 11th AUG, it started with company PPT and then the interviews started after that. Waiting for my turn to give interview, I prepared myself  to face the interview confidently. But the story was all different when my turn came, I was bit nervous, maybe because it was a big day in my life. But when I started with my introduction I was feeling comfortable, the recruiting team was so cool that they made me comfortable, all of them were so friendly that I had no more nervousness talking to them. I did well in first round, after the first round I had 3 more rounds of interview back to back. From one round to another I was doing well and was keeping myself cool. After 4 technical rounds I was called for HR and their were casual questions and it too went well.

                And then it was results, we were waiting outside and it was the toughest time in the whole interview process. Minutes were starting to seem like seconds and it was same with everyone who was waiting along with me. Finally they called us inside to give our results. My name was second in the list out of only two who got selected. I just don’t know what all happened in that room that day after announcements, I was enjoying the moment, I was in my own world, I was on cloud9 . The feeling that I will be an ORACLEite from that moment was awesome.  Looking forward have some great time and experience at ORACLE.

Will Death Penalty bring HER back..?




       Nine months ago a brutal incident stunned whole India. A 23 year old lady was rapped, beaten, molested and thrown down on traffic moving road in severely injured condition. She struggled for 14 days,on bed, and succumbs to her injuries at Singapore hospital.

       Nine months after this incident, today, the special court announced death penalty for all 4 accused. Well, this may be a good move from Indian govt. but the only question which is arising in my mind now is, "Will it bring her back??". We know, we can't.! "Her" here refers not only to Nirbhaya, but all those several unfortunate girls who has been victim of this kind of brutality...!! Punishing all these demons will not set everything straight, will not bring back what we have lost, but will it at least stop this things from happening in the future? Will women in our country be safe after this? We don't have answer for this..

       These convicts who are now sentenced to death will never feel the pain Nirbhaya felt for 14 long days, physically and mentally..! Hanging them would be a sweetest way of killing them...!! Personally I feel that they should be punished more severely.. U might ask, what is more severe than killing? Yea, U are right, killing them will be the final and the highest punishment they could be given. They deserve it too..! but there are several ways in which it can be done.. I am not being bloodthirsty, but they should be killed in such a manner that it sets an example for what happens when someone rapes a girls in India..!
   
        Even then we cant bring what we have lost but at least we can ensure we won't lose anything in the future...

Din't India get any other better day to celebrate Children's Day??

It is 14th November, whole India is celebrating Children's Day. This year Indians might be bit busy with Diwali, but still the essence of Children's Day can be felt in mobile messages, Fb wall posts and in news papers. And this day reminds us of only one person. Many of us only know him as the first prime minister of India, great leader of congress and one of the greatest personality in the history of Hindustan. That is not our fault, because our text books speaks so. We are always fed with good things, the negative side is always UN-highlighted.

Yes,I 'm speaking about Pt. Jawahar lal Nehru. I think November 14th is the only day we remember him in a year. Not because it is his birthday but it is Children's day. It seems that Nehru might have thought Indians won't celebrate his birthday after his death. So, he might have called it as Children's day:-P

These many days we only knew him to be a good guy. But today, lets concentrate only on his negative side. If you hate him, then I 'll give you some good reasons to hate him more by your heart.



Jawaharlal Nehru: Partition supporter ?
Jawaharlal Nehru was not supporting
Mahatma Gandhi whole heartedly in the protest against partition of India.
He was doing this to gain political advantage over Sardar Ballavbhai Patel so that he can become the prime Minister of India after independence. His political greed was so high that later he started to blackmail Gaandhiji that if he is not made the prime minister of independent India then He will divide Congress. But if Congress got divided, then it won’t be possible to get independence. Hence Gandhiji requested Sardar Ballavbhai Patel to step aside and let Nehru be the prime minister even though Patelji won by absolute majority in the voting within congress to decide who will be the prime minister.
Well, this is the reason why he was our so called first Prime minister..!!!

Nehru’s stand on Indo China relationship:
In indo china war, India’s situation might have not been so poor if Nehru had taken the issue seriously. Civilian from the state of Arunachal Pradesh fought with Chinese Army. At the time when Indian army was about to accept defeat, and the states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam were in the verge of being a part of China, Nehru just set back and watched like a silent spectator. He just commented with crocodile
tears – “sorry Assam”. Everything was in his hand, but he did nothing. Later in parliament when the question regarding his stand about china war was raised, he answered that the part of Arunachal, which was taken by China was of no use and not a single grass can survive at that place. The opponent leaders replied, “Even your head don’t have a single hair, why don’t you give it to china? It is well understood that Jawaharlal Nehru was a person who always wanted to be in comfort zone and never step out of it and face the reality of the problems.
He was an escapist who liked to maintain status quo on the crucial issues rather than to delve deep into the problem and solve it from the root. The great quote “hindi chini bhai bhai” was spread by Jawaharlal Nehru just after Chinese aggression.
If he was such a real patriot he would have never let chinese into our border. The book named "The Himalayan Blunder"(must read book) written by brigediar Jhon P Dalavi speaks about all the blunders of nehru ji during indo-china war.

Jawaharlal Nehru : his anti Assam Policies :
After partition, a part of Bengal(known as East Bengal at that time) was freed from India and declared as provincial state of Pakistan. It was then known as East Pakistan. East Pakistan fought for independence and in 1971 East Pakistan was declared as an independent nation and is known as Bangladesh since then. India helped Bangladesh won its independence and since Bangladesh’s economic and social scenario was not so healthy at that time, it was India’s moral responsibility to help Bangladesh in that front. At that time it was decided by Jawaharlal Nehru that some portion of Bangladeshi population will be allowed to come to India as “Federal Refugee”. Here food shelter and good education will be provided to them by Indian Government so that they can go back and change the social scenario of Bangladesh. But there was no law, or parliamentary bill passed in support of this. This was decided by Jawaharlal Nehru only by his whims and wills.

On 7 th May 1949, Assam’s first Chief Minister Gopinath Bordoloi wrote a letter to Jawaharlal Nehru highlighting the illegal influx issue and requesting him to take necessary action. Bordoloi also requested that if not possible to deport, then at least to distribute the additional load of population among various states equally. In this letter Gopinath Bordoloi pointed out that approximately 2.5 Lakh “East Pakistani”s have already come to Assam. As a reply to this letter, on 18 th May 1949, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote a letter to Gopinath Bordoloi stating that the population cannot be divided among other states and has to be absorbed by Assam only!!!!
So from the above sequence of activities it is very clear that Nehru
was a person who used to run national policies as his personal policies. Frame law as per his whims and wills.

Because of his foolish and immature activities, the north eastern states specially Assam and Arunachal had to suffer a lot. His way of working had become the way of working for the whole congress party which is the ruling party for most of the time in center since independence. His philosophy had become the philosophy for the congress party which is the ruling party for most of the time at Assam. As a result of the post independence movement at Assam, the Assam Accord was signed. But the illegal immigrant identification and deportation clause of the accord have not yet been implemented by the center.

All this sequences makes us rethink about his actions during the independence movement. Was he
really a patriot or whatever he did during the movement were just public image building activities, so that he can become the Prime Minister of independent India?

The days of independence and formation of new independent republic of India were the days when our national leaders were bestowed upon with massive responsibilities of formation of new government, constitution, law and order etc. Our national leaders at that time had very well performed with their responsibilities. But it seems surprising to know that, JawaharlalNehru get time and space to fall in love with Lady Mountbatten (Wife of Lord Mountbatten; last viceroy of British ruled India) during those crucial days.

Pamela Mountbatten; the younger daughter of Mountbatten couple and also Lord Mountbatten himself, have written about the relationship between Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina(Lady Mountbatten) in various letters and other writings during 1947-’48. The same had been evident from various family album and diary entries of Mountbatten family. Pamela Mountbatten also refers to a letter written by Jawaharlal Nehru to Lady Edwina Mountbatten in 1957, “Suddenly I realised (and perhaps you also did) that there was a deeper attachment between us, that some uncontrollable force, of which I was dimly aware, drew us to one another, I was overwhelmed and at the same time exhilarated by this new discovery. We talked more intimately as if some veil had been removed and we could look into each other's eyes without fear or embarrassment.” So, the Chinese aggression took place in 1962 and the timeline of the above quoted letter falls in 1957, just five years before Chinese aggression. The time when Chinese were preparing to attack India, our great prime minister was busy with lovemaking with someone else’s wife.


The timeline of written communication of Gopinath Bordoloi regarding illegal influx falls in 1949, and in 1948, Lord Mountbatten himself had mentioned about the relationship of Nehru and Edwina in his letter to his elder daughter. That means, the time when the soil of our motherland is being used as dustbin
by other nation to throw excess and useless population, our great prime minister was busy with lovemaking with a lady who is the wife of a federal official of the government which ruled our country for hundreds of years. Also, he suppresses the noble efforts made by others to eradicate the problem recall reply from Nehru to Gopinath Bordoloi.

And yet we call him PANDIT... CAHCHA.. We celebrate his birthday as Children's day. We are enough mature to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. We have 364 other days in a year with 364 other reasons to celebrate children's day. Do you still think we should celebrate his birthday as Children's Day?? I Don't....

The Dashing Kohli turns 24...


Virat Kohli,who is currently India's most consistent cricketer, celebrates his 24th birthday today.

For Kohli, who is hailed as the future captain of India, nothing short of a match-winning performance is decent enough. With the ICC ODI player of the year in his bag and his recent form scripting scintillating wins for India, has become a job description that he can proudly highlight in his resume. And it has been a regular feature.

Virat Kohli was born on 5 November 1988 in Delhi to Prem and Saroj Kohli. He has an elder brother, Vikash, and an elder sister, Bhavna. Virat attended school at Vishal Bharti and Savier Convent. Virat's father, Prem, worked as a lawyer and died in December 2006.

This 24-year old cricketer hogged the headlines when he went to play a Ranji match a day after his father had passed away.

The Delhi boy announced himself as India's gen-next, leading India to the under-19 World Cup in 2008 held in Malaysia.  Batting at number 4, he scored 235 runs in 6 matches at an average of 47, including a century against the West Indies U-19s.


In his 14th one-dayer for India, half of which he had played as a substitute, Virat fastracked his way to his maiden 100. And his Delhi teammate acknowledged his achievement and gave away his Man of the Match to him.

Very soon he has called up for world cup squad and marked a debut hundred in world cup against Bangladesh.He is the first Indian to achieve that honor.

In his three and half years international career Virat achieved lots of milestones.He is the fastest Indian cricketer to reach 1000 runs in ODI. In 2011, he was the highest run getter in ODIs, and this year too he's just 5 runs behind Kumar Sangakkara, the leading run getter.So far he has scored 13 centuries and 12 of them have resulted in India's win and moreover he is the quickest to score 13 centuries in just 86 matches.

After the World Cup win, when Nasser Hussain asked him why he and his teammates carried Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders, Virat replied: "He has carried us the nation's burden on our shoulders for 21 years. It's time we carried him on our shoulder." #respect 

Despite being a regular in the ODI side, Kohli only played his first Test in 2011 against West Indies in Kingston. But on the disastrous 2011/12 India tour of Australia, in which India's senior batsmen struggled throughout, Kohli stood out, scoring his first Test hundred in Adelaide.

Virat Kholi is quite aggressive in the field, He is one of the Stylish person in the Indian Cricket team.Kohli must endeavour to grow at a similar pace as he moves into a new year. One can only imagine the heights he would scale if he maintains the flow.

At last lets wish the champ HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....:)
