The Mind Game

What if you get rejected??

This was the question that was asked to me during the final round of an interview. But before going that, do you ever think that interviews are 70 % mind games?  From predicting the interviewer's aspect while asking questions to setting up the answer according to which he wants to hear; everything is a mind game🧠. To even which question should come after, It's always mind over knowledge at all times. AND if you break the mind, you break the opponent. HRs have already learned this and they employ it as well on each and every candidate. until they face the ONE. The ONE who gets selected.


During an interview, most people think that the interviewer is asking them the questions and they are simply giving the answers😐. But in fact, you are the one who decides which question should come next. You just need to read the interviewer's mind and act accordingly. And within minutes, ssssshhh, the interviewer is under your control. Don't you believe it?


So the interviewer will first have a normal conversation💬 and will try to make you comfortable. Then, he will check your CV and will only check your latest work or project. To be honest, HR would not have a single fucking idea about the project except the name of the project and some keywords like Github, module etc. So he will ask you to explain the project. This point, exactly this is the point where you are about to be the boss in your own interview. Now the next question depends on what you just told about the project. For example, just say the keyword github 3-4 times in sentences. The interviewer will then surely ask for your GitHub username and boom!! you were the one who made him to ask this question. Set your GitHub profile page in such a nice way that he thinks you're the deserved candidate. Surely he will check your contributions and maybe also ask something about them. 


Now, let's talk about an informal question: Where do you see yourself in the next 15-20 years? Most people answer that they are expecting themselves on a higher post in the company. You can just say, I want to be a part of a big real-world project which adds value to people's lives or maybe can start my own business depends on my interest. "interest", yes, this is the word which will frame the next question.


What are your interests? Look! you again framed a question for yourself. In reply, you can share your interests but the last line should be "I love to play pool in my free time." Now the thing is in most of the offices, there is an indoor sports room in which people play games commonly pool. So, the interviewer will certainly tell you that they have a pool table in their office and they often play it. Now you can ask about the company's office and discuss its working culture. Yes, this is the point where HR will forget that he is taking an interview but will start to see you as a pool companion in the office more than the future employee of the company. And congratulations!🎉 You're selected.


Ohh the question, "What if you get rejected?" To be honest, I don't know how to answer this. When it was asked to me, I just think 💭for a bit simply replied, "Well! Then I'll apply to some another company."😄

My First Blog

This is what I look like. Pic taken at Rashtrapati Bhavan (Red eyes don't mean I smoke weed, it is because of camera effect.😛) First of all, I would like to tell you why I am here. In a world full of fake imaginations and envy, I am here to get some relief from the daily boring routine. It is enough to tell the reason of my such life is that I am an engineering student at IIT Delhi. Currently, I am at Jaipur, away from the daily world, and writing my first blog. It is not the first time when I am writing something. I used to write on Quora, but it used to be primarily on a particular topic. What should we write in our very first blog? A lot of people introduce themselves and discuss their daily life routines. Without trying anything different, let's begin. Hi everyone!!!👋 I am Manoj😊 with roots at Kuchaman City, Rajasthan, in western India. I matriculated from ABN sr. Sec. School in 2015 and passed the 12th standard from Navjeevan sr. Sec. School Sikar in 2017. (...

Love Me like You Do

30th January 2020, 2:38AM Sitting in the central library of IIT Delhi, a quiz is scheduled for tomorrow in Programming Languages. Although I haven't studied anything yet, still I couldn't concentrate on my mind. Today I found a cool song  "Love Me Like You Do"  when it buzzed in someone's mobile. It affected me so much as later I listened to this song, and tried to get the lyrics. After humming this song again and again, now I learned some lines. Here is my broken lyrics: You're the light, you're the night You're the color of my blood You're the cure, you're the pain You're the only thing I wanna touch Never knew that it could mean so much, so much You're the fear, I don't care 'Cause I've never been so high Follow me through the dark Let me take you past our satellites You can see the world you brought to life, to life So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you d...

Good Byee 2019

So it is the year ending time of 2019 so I am summarizing this year in a poem. Zindagi ka ek aur varsh kam ho chala, kuchh purani yaadien peechhe chhorh chala.. kuch khwaahishein dil me rah jati hai, kuch bin mange rah jati hai.. kuch chhorh kar chale jate hai, kuch naye judenge iss safar mein.. kuch mujhse bahot khafa hai, kuch mujhse bahot khush hai.. kuch mujhe mil ke bhul gye, kuch mujhe aaj bhi yaad krte hai.. kuch sayad anjaan hai, kuch bahot pareshaan hai.. kuch ko mera intzaar hai,  kuch ka mujhe intzaar hai.. kuch shi hai, kuch galat bhi hai.. kuch galati ho to maaf kijiye, kuch achha lge to yaad kijiye..   Let's start in 2020 with a new initiative by revising our goals, thinking about all the mistakes and try to improve all those. Wish you all a prosperous   Happy New Year
