my IIM I interview

10 people

30 minutes was given to read the case

20 minutes for group discussion

group discussion was complete fish market
i like fish market :)
bcoz my gd is always so so :)

P1 old prof

P2 lady prof

P1 tell about yourself
ans told

P2 So you are an enterpreneur ( I had written that i am working in a startup)
ans i said i hv joined them (surely should had something better here)

P2 Wht u do in ur company ,company products blah blaha
ans told which wasn't very convincing but did ok here

P2 You have written alternative career option as journalism why
ans told i would be able be part of the process of change in the society

P2 do you know any journalism institute
ans didn't knew anyone :(

P2 Who is chairman of zee tv
ans told subhash chandra

note: my memory has been fabulous in all my interviews , i somehow have
been able to answer questions i didn't knew i knew, problem has
been expression sometimes, gd consistently has been a problem :)

P2 Who is head of star tv in india
ans told rupert murdoch owns star tv, but who is head in India didn't know

P2 As an electrical engineer what innovation you can bring to journalism

note: this is something i had given thought for over a month, since
when i was jobless, i was thinking of business idea which i can
probably start. I had thought of building a site which can serve
as news source to world audience sans censorship of governements
sans bias of particular region sans bias of owners of news channel.
Something like Wikipedia for news. The only problem is that for it
to be successful it needs to be taken on world scale with millions
of active cyber journalists. I think google might be able to take
the idea with more conviction than me. :tounge :tounge . But i
believe this is future of news. In future news of the world would
be unbiased.

for example today Pakistan news channel claim Kashmir was always
their part, India took kashmir illegally by war, Indian news
channels claim vice versa. But the reality was some thing else.
More on this in sometimes other post

So this was the ball i should have hit for home run. But instead
i forgot my idea, tounge dried up :tounge

and by the time my idea came to my mind, and started blabbering something
I was cut short my by P1. sad :( . Who by this had look on the face like
he had been forced to watch saans bahu serial.

P1 what is dc motor
ans told answer which was even unsatisfactoy for 10th class
told it converts dc current to mechanical energy :) :tounge

note: I had already decided a month back if someone started grilling
me on power, i would immediately say my degree is in electrical
engineering but most of my courses in electronics and communication.
So i did but after that face of P1 turned even more saddistic :tounge

P1: What are various signal analysis techniques
ans told

P1 What is fourier tansform

Your Inconsistency is a Feature, Not a Bug

Image
We are living in the Golden Age of Guilt. You know the feeling. You wake up, check your phone, and are immediately bombarded by the "High-Performance" brigade. The 5 AM Club. The Atomic Habit builders. The Tech Bros meditating in ice baths. They all have the same message: Consistency is King. If you aren't grinding 24/7, if you abandoned that hobby you started last month, or if you can’t focus on a spreadsheet for four hours straight, you are told you are broken. You lack "grit." You need to buy another book to fix your "laziness." But what if I told you that the self-help industry is gaslighting you? What if your inconsistency, your fickleness, and your refusal to stick to the plan aren't moral failings—but the very biological features that keep our species alive? 1. The "Death Spiral" of Perfect Discipline We tend to think of discipline as the ultimate virtue. But in nature, perfect discipline is often a suicide pact. Take the Army Ant....

LLMs have already taken over the world. Dont be left behind.

You’ve probably already read about how Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others are growing in popularity. Many say they are “taking over the world,” but the truth is even more striking—their impact is already massive, though in ways we often cannot easily quantify. Understanding Tokens At the core of this impact is the concept of the token . A token is a unit of text measurement used by companies to calculate usage and costs. Roughly speaking, one token equals about three-fourths of a word. For example: A page of text contains about 225 words , which is nearly 300 tokens . Across the world, there are an estimated 130–190 million books , which equals a total size of 15–20 trillion tokens of text content. Now compare that to social media: every day, around 500 million tweets are posted. In one year, that’s roughly 200 billion tweets , amounting to about 5 trillion tokens . Beyond Books and Tweets: Other Human Text Reservoirs Books and tweets are only two exampl...

Common theme across important essays

 So I asked chatgpt to identify common theme across important essays in life, economics and social science. This is what it said  Below is a formal, analytical synthesis of all the essays you requested summaries for. By examining arguments across sociology, psychology, leadership, economics, AI, creativity, and science , we can identify the single most repeated theme and the supporting sub-themes that appear again and again. The Most Repeated Theme Across All Essays Excellence, progress, and human achievement emerge from small, structured, consistent actions rather than from dramatic talent, inspiration, or centralized control. This theme appears everywhere — whether the subject is elite performance (Chambliss, Ericsson, Csikszentmihalyi), leadership (Greenleaf), learning (Dweck), creativity (Graham), complex systems (Hayek, Read), sociology (Putnam, Granovetter), or even scientific progress (Asimov, Feynman). Across fields, the message is consistent: Big outcomes ar...
