My First Official Interview

Today I went to the AXIS Bank at Church Gate for my very first interview. The result, well all was good but I am still not a graduate, so I have to wait till my results come out.
Well, had a couple of interviews here and there, but none official as they were all for minute things. But today was the real test and for me I think I didn’t fair that well, coz I missed out on simple things. All I was asked to do was to operate MS Word and MS Excel, I did well, but certain simple things which should have been done right were done wrong - well yes I was a little nervous but at the end of it all I really feel I should have concentrated better.

Incomplete - Nobody's Perfect

Whatever I write (here), whatever I do – whatever happens is all incomplete I guess, because nobody's perfect. Whatever I want to say in my blog may not be complete (with all the detailed information) but for me, I think it is enough to send the message out loud and clear.
I write my blog as and when any thing crosses my mind (I only need an active and a proper internet connection for that) I write it with a purpose, to ask a few questions sometimes. I only wish that my blog is easy to be understood and that there are no problems as such.

Thankyou

Mumbai To Bombay

We live in India, a free and a democratic country. But to live in this so called democratic country, we have to live in a communal divide. It was in 1990s when the Shiv Sena launched a campaign to rename the city (of Bombay) – from Bombay to Mumbai. Even the other cities like Bangalore – Bengaluru, Calcutta – Kolkata, etc followed suit in a few years time by changing the names just to fit in to their locality, but why do we need this – I don't seem to understand. Does a Human Being change with a change in the name? Then the same goes with the cities.
Everyone loved the previous name, but some minds wanted to change that. And if anyone uses the word 'Bombay' again, there's a fume and attack on those people/institutions. They want the city to (forcibly) accept the name 'Mumbai'. They say that the use of the word 'Bombany' was like a slap on the face of the 105 or so martyrs who had fought for the state of Maharashtra. Well, I say during their time the city was called as Bombay and they had no problems with it so why do some have a problem now?
First it was using the regional languages (that changed Bombay to Mumbai) then an ante North Indian moment – forcing is not accepted in a free Democratic country. This does affect the lives of other people who just wish to live in a free, safe, democratic Bombay, Mumbai or whatever you may call it...
