Whatte post!

Today was my big-day, job interview with one of the top software gaints-NoNameTechnologies. The interview was being held at the exclusive seminar hall of our colg,IARE (opp princi's chamber).The interviewer-guy arrived at the college looking rather confused . A little birdie told me later that the poor guy had had a hard time locating the college on the dundigal map! ;)

The interviews kick-started a good 1 hour late,and me being the 10th(and last) in line, went roaming around the college to cool off. I got back for my interview around 10 mins late, but put on the most flattering smile I could ever manage and stepped in. The interviewer looked harrased, and if you ask me ,he looked like a cross-over between a man and a freaked-out porcupine.

Interviewer: "You are 15 mins late! Explain yourself"

My Sincere Self: "Sir. I am mega-sorry!I was taking a round in the college and as you can well imagine,I lost myself in its beauty;) and lost track of time. You don't beleive me,sir? Let me elaborate.We've got huge,admirable, empty patches of land all over the place and the world's only grass-pitch on our cricket ground!Whatte pitch saar. Our canteen has a stock of choclates and chips which cannot be found selling (Even if you move heaven and earth) elsewhere on the planet.Whatte canteen saar.And why go that deep,our college color speaks for itself. Whatte ...."

Interviewer: "Yeah!! I get it...OK.I better proceed with the serious stuff. Whats your good name?and study details"?

My Sincere Self: "My name is ****** sir.I have a very gr8 history sir.I think I should start from the very beginning for you. It so happened that I was present very close to the Jntu building when the explosion occured...yes,sir,I am talking about that explosion which blasted jntu to bits and pieces(Courtesy:Vissu.For details :http://ouriare.blogspot.com/2008/04/contributors-special.html)...well,so at that time, as I stood open-mouthed and wide-eyed and watched the destruction of my dear alma-mater, a miracle happened..."

Interviewer : "Yeah.I am sure something dId happen.But, let me be spared. Mail me the miracle.For now lets proceed with the technical questions. :x

What is quick sort?And what is its time complexity"?

My Sincere Self:(smiling)." Oh.Whatte easy question sar. Quick sort is that sort where you sort very quick,quick...like...very fast. It is called so because it is quick,quicker,quickest of all the sorts of sorts. You can do it quickly because it can be done fast and fast means agile and agile means quick.Time complexity is also quickest only sir. It is not complex time but very quick so very less comparitively."

At this point of time I couldnt but help noticing the expression of the interviewer.He was...well lets say there were tears in his eyes...ofcourse tears of happiness.No other guy must have given such clear description of the mysteries of quick sort!

Interviewer: "That was enough.Answer this simple question.WHAT IS C LANGUAGE"?

My Sincere Self: Oh.C language sir.Whatte language saar.C language is what is between the B and D language sir. It is very...sir what can i tell you.Whatever I say is very less. I am the biggest fan of C language sir. I breathe C .I eat C.I drink C.I see C.

Interviewer: Oh I.C. I think I have had my answers. Now, OuTt you go .

My Sincere Self: Oh.Sir :) When do I join sir? Salary sir? :) I am telling you sir, I will make your company become *this and that* and do *this and that* and bring about *this and that* results :)
