GD: The complete talk...

It has been a long time since I have written about anything. It was not due to lack of time r anything like that.It was only because i was doing all useless crap and did not know the time at all.Need to agree that i had been having a very good time doing all that.The idea about writing about what i am going to write now started in the place called"tapri" in pune. I was jus sitting with a group of friends for wat we call chai discussing about my seniors placement in a good company. Happened to talk to the senior that evening. He told me about the procedure that was followed by the company in deciding that he was fit for the job. then he told me that they had a group discussion round too. The group had to discuss how two movies had an impact on the Indian society and the Indian Financial Market. The movies happened to be Fashion and EMI.. So i thought how can these two movies have an effect really on the Indian Financial Market primarily. Then started a good healthy long discussion of wat really a GD comprises of.. I said that GD is a place where we putforth our viewpoint on any topic that has been given to us..it can be any inferences that we have been making of it, or they can be any suggestions we can make about a given situation and so on and so forth... but in this given case i felt this topic was just pointless because both the movies fr me made no contribution towards the indian society(definitely fashion because i have seen it and it is only a movie made fr dragging audiences by making the models wear skimpy clothes and trying to portray reality by showing a stupid dress malfunction through kangana ranaut)..Then phat comes a dialogue "Brother that is nt what u are supposed to do in a GD"...tried to relent against the dialogue but the person had already started what i can call a small crash course on how to talk better in a gd in half an hour by two of my good friends and batchmates in pune..learnt that a gd need not be really what u think about that topic but can also be how u adapt to that situation and try to make sense out of it even if u don't really believe in the topic...so it can be said that it is just how u r going to make urself heard out in a group of people...u need to put urself in others shoes fr really becoming an effective speaker atleast in GROUP DISCUSSION....i gt up that day having only one doubt in my mind...How can u make sense when u r nt talking as urself??..but then convinced myself that sometimes u need not make sense when the prime motto of the talk show is to just make ur presence felt....


But i can tell u that day in the tapri the guy who had a lot to take back is the Tapri owner cause we were continously talking and frgt that we were repeating the words " a chotu ek aur chai" more than anything else......
Jus on a lighter note....
