Advices are always easy to get from everywhere, anywhere from Anyone and anytime.

And India, the country where people are Soooooooo "Generous" you'll get an advice, even from a totally Anonymous person, in the middle of a street, even if he has no clue what is your Issue or problem.

And for once try to deny; the advice that people give you, you'll see the pain in them, like you've tried to cut out their kidney even if he was the one who was offering Dialysis.

People are soo emotionally attached to their "Wise Advises" and feel that it's the best thing that the person getting Advised* will ever listen in his whole life. They try to make it more serious for the guy by constantly repeating, "Don't joke I'm serious" "It's the truth of the life " . Yeah like God himself came down to you and told you the Truth of life. 😑

Even though these creatures are everywhere in every form, family members, Long distant unknown relatives, teachers, friends, drunk guys, homeless and uneducated, unemployed people (They are the Well of advises.) but the most Dangerous of all is Your Mum's best friend.

Typical Aunty

How are advises dangerous and that too from my aunt?

Advises are never dangerous till you're the only one listening to it and you are not going to see the person for quite a time. But Aunts and even uncle who are close to your parents are the most dangerous people. They have it all planned and they work in steps.

Step 1: Information Gathering : First they try to find out all about what you do, what do you study, sports you play, what you drive, even what  undergarment brand you wear.

Step 2: Personal Interview : After they have known all about you and what you do they would here it from you. And moreover they'll make a face like they don't know shit. "Beta, what's your name? Beta, you are studying non med? Beta, do you eat food? Beta, do you breath oxygen?" FfS

Step 3: The first advise to you : You'll get their first advise really very soon, and if you are unlucky then on the first talk. You will feel its never bad to hear an elder giving advise. Oh No.. *Evil Grin*

Not engineer? Photographer?

Step 4: The Manipulation : This is the step your Aunt was waiting for, all what she did was for this step. She'll never talk to you on a random day but every day, when your mom meets/ talks with her, she will be there giving advises.
Suddenly the Aunt who had friend few friend including your mom and done BA in a language or no what so ever education, become career advisor.

It goes like this, "Beta Non Med karlo bohot scope hai"..."Beta Computer Science lena bohot scope hai"..." Beta Govt Job karna bohot scope hai"... "Beta Bhad me jao Bohot scope hai".

But as if it ever affects you. But here you getting affected is not the case. Its your parent, specially your mom.
If you got tell my mom that there is a kid of your friend, who is doing Bba and will then become software engineer, trust me she will tell me that and ask me to do it. 😳😳😳

So in short whatever you do, I advise you all to stay away from the advises.

*Paradox*

😂

Trolling Indian PS :)

Just like every year, the seriousness and the enthusiasm to study and be in top ranks in tests faded within a month.
By the time I met 2 crank heads who just sat behind me and Vihaam. Never knew these crazy guys would turn out to be my best friends till now.

It's common in all Best friends group: There are 4 Type of person in this Group. I would generalize this with mine:

1. Vihaam : The guy you know better than all, because you know him before. He hangs out mostly with you only. But he is readily friendly. You may have not known who is sitting beside you for a week but he already knows his name and where he lives. Fat guy who wants to lose weight but can't because food is love, food is life. Always high in cash but doesn't show it till you talk about going to KFC or Dominoes. He is not shy with girls, but can't reach even the first base because he gets friendzoned. Understands less and pops up more on anything you try to tell him. Has amazing skills in test. He is better than a CCTV camera. He can see all the answers from any angle from someone else answer sheet. Brother for life and a Friend forever.

2. Redaant : The guy of easy liking. He is friendly, intelligent and Powerful. Not a shy guy but conservative in nature. Talks less shit, does more work. Has amazing sense of humour and the guy who doesn't let you study because of epic jokes he cracks and you laugh constantly throughout the whole period. Father's a scientist, trying to keep up with the professional name. Amazing artist. You can't figure it out, how someone like him doesn't have a girlfriend. That type of guy who has a single crush but can't say to her even if he knows that she too like him. Brother for life and a Friend Forever.

3. Sishab : The Crazy, Idiotic, And partner in crime. You bond well with him because he Laughs when you laugh, he goes where you goes, he is helping, your and his views are similar and most important, He understands your all jokes that no one can. He is shy in person and Charlie Sheen on Internet. Has lots of girlfriends that you can't keep count and it's always complicated . The one that has the shittiest phone(windows). He is that guy with whome you put all your innovation and plans and startups to work with. brother for life and friends forever.

4. Me -4th Guy - (As told by my other friends and not me) - Good Natured, play-boyish, has a lot of crazy talks that no one believes but are true. Techno Savy (that's what they wrote in school yearbook). Daring, as Sir Eminem says " Don't give a Fu**" type person. But get caught up in crazy things and always need sorting out. Has 3x girl friends as to boys. But has a Crush on a weird girl, which no one can understand except him.

So we four met by chance and remained best friends forever. RSVP - what we loved to be called as - Initials of your name.

Now it was all bout what they ment to me and shit we did. Over 2 years.

-TBC-

The second day I found a revised batch list and this time with teachers name. My name got shifted to another batch, the batch that Vihaam too was in, and also taught by Ankush sir. Maybe the sir has shifted me here.

I went straight to my new batch 004, and met Vihaam. Not changed at all from last time I saw him. I was surprised why he chose non med, because till tenth he was not one of the smart kids in science. He didn't reply clearly. When I thought about it.... question arose.

Why does anyone take up Non Med?

So here's how I classify it according to people I know :


1. Those who are passionate about it. Wants to do good for country and think that they will do it by becoming Engineer.

2. Those who got good marks in 10th, high on enthusiasm to choose the most difficult field, Non Med.

3. Those who think becoming a computer science engineer means - Money.

The Other Types :-

4. Those who thought that it is something related to Computer and it would be easy. Haha Lol.


5. The family Pressure- Father is an Engineer, siblings are engineer or some far cousin got good marks and took engineering or Sharma Ji's son is also doing engineering. In this case, you are nothing more than a competetion prop. You will be compared to others throughout your studies. You will get needless tips, which they call 'Guideance". Don't even think that if you become successful in something, this will stop. Your parents will anyhow find someone else who is better than you.

6. Now this is the special case, but the funniest. A guy, took Engineering, just because her girlfriend took it, so that he could be near her during school as well as tuition. Awwwww soo cute! -_- F*** Logic.

7. Those who have no clue. Not a single reason. They don't know what they're doing, what they're going to do, what they want to be, what they would probably be. They just study, because their parents send them to. Just like a robot, with real low processing speed, messed up programming and made of bones and flesh.

These were all I could figure out. And to place Vihaam in this, obviously need to know him better. Well, with time will.. maybe.

Tech engineers are regarded as some of the smartest people in the world.

But even they have a hard time answering the brain teaser questions a lot of tech companies like to ask during job interviews. We went through Glassdoor to find some of the trickiest questions they get asked, and the best way to answer them.

Q1: How many trailing zeros are in the number 5! (5 factorial)?

Business Insider

Asked to: Systems engineer at Google

Suggested answers:

Option 1: 5!=120. So there is 1 trailing zero.

Option 2: This sounds like one geared not so much towards getting the right answer, but getting to it the right way. If you think a bit and say "one", the interviewer will know you did it the brute-force way, doing the math. You'd get at the answer faster, and probably impress them more, if you think instead how many times a ten will be produced in doing that math, rather than what the actual result of the math will be.

Q2: You have two light bulbs at a 100-story building. You want to find the floor at which the bulbs will break when dropped. Find the floor using the least number of drops.

Business Insider

Asked to: Software engineer at Facebook

Suggested answers:

Option 1: Start moving up in increments of 10 floors and dropping the bulb until it breaks (ie: drop from floor 10, if it doesn't break, drop from floor 20, etc.). Once the bulb breaks, move down to the floor before it broke on and start moving up floors in increments of one until the second bulb breaks. This results in a worst case scenario of 19 drops.

Option 2: 19 drops is not the best worst-case scenario... imagine trying floor 16, if it breaks, you try 1 - 15 and thats 16 tries. If it doesn't break, then try floor 31 and if it breaks, then try 17 - 30 (so 16 tries, including the try on floor 16). And on and on (45, 58, 70, 81, 91, 100). If you reach 91, you'll have tried 7 floors so far and if it doesn't break, then there's 9 more tries to get to 100 (thus 16 in the worst case.)

Q3: If you had 5,623 participants in a tournament, how many games would need to be played to determine the winner?

Twitter

Asked to: Manager at Amazon

Suggested answers:

Option 1: The interviewer is not looking for the right answer because there can be many. What he/she is looking for is your logical approach in solving the answer. So you could start by probing more is first I would like to understand if 5,623 participants represent the number of team or individuals. Then ask the next logical question based on the answer."

Option 2: 5,622. Assuming it is a single elimination tournament. All teams lose one game except the champs. It's always # of teams - 1.

Q4: There are 20 different socks of two types in a drawer in a completely dark room. What is the minimum number of socks you should grab to ensure you have a matching pair?

Flickr

Asked to: Software development engineer in test at Web trends

Suggested answer: I'm not a mathematician, statistician, or highly analytical but if you pick up three socks they could still be all of same type -- even if the odds are 50%. Odds do not equal reality. So the only way to 'ensure you have a matching pair' is to pick up 11 of the 20. This is the only foolproof guaranteed way to get a pair (in the real world and not the world of odds.)

Q5: If you have a square room with no roof, and you had four flagpoles you had to plant on the walls so that each flagpole touched two walls, how would you do it?

Flickr

Asked to: Software engineer at Cisco

Suggested answer: The answer was that by planting them on the corners, each one is touching two walls because each corner is part of two walls. I wanted to pierce two walls with a pole horizontally too. They said it was an innovative solution.

Q6: There are 9 balls all of which weigh the same except one, what is the minimum weighings necessary to find the ball weighs more (or less)?

Flickr

Asked to: Software engineer at DE Shaw & Co

Suggested answer: You could do this with two weighings assuming its a two pan balance -- (1) place three balls on each side if they balance out then its the remaining three that has abnormal ball (2) out of that group, place one ball on each side - if balances it out, the abnormal ball is the remaining one. If the weighing in step (1) does not balance out, grab the group of three balls that is light or heavy and repeat step (2) described above."

Q7: You have 2 pieces of rope, each of which burns from one end to the other in 30 minutes (no matter which end is lit). If different pieces touch, the flame will transfer from one to the other. You cannot assume any rope properties that were not stated. Given only 1 match, can you time 45 minutes?

Business Insider

Asked to: ASIC Verification engineer at Zoran

Suggested answer: Take one rope (Rope A), place it down as a circle. Light match and start burning rope A at the tips that are touching. When the rope completely burns out, 15 minutes will have passed (since both ends are burning and being consumed at once). Hold the second rope (Rope B) straight and place one end so that it will immediately catch fire when the two burning points from (Rope A) finally touch and are just about to burn out. Thus 15 minutes on Rope A + 30 minutes on Rope B gives you 45 mins.

Make a T. Simple

Q8: In front of you are three light switches. Only one does anything, and it turns on the light downstairs. From here you can't see the light, and it makes no sound. You must determine which switch operates the light, but you can only go check it once. How do you figure out which switch is for the light?

Flickr

Asked to: Software engineer at Raytheon

Suggested answer: Flip any switch you want. Wait for about 5-10 minutes to let the bulb heat up. Flip that same switch off, and another one on. Go check the light. If it's off and hot, it was the first switch, if it's on it was the second and if it's cold and off, it was the last one.

Introduction

Well, I'll start off by introducing myself and what I'll post that would go for a long time.

This is real life experience of engineering aspirants or Non Med students that all others can relate.

I live in Chandigarh, been here for a long time. The motive I came here from a small town was, as my father describes, for better education.
I agree with him, he put me in a good school that developed me in all fields and made me capable to go further anywhere. Till 10th I enjoyed my school life. Some students will say it sucked but for me it was best time of my life.

But after 10th you have to choose a subject and from a school student, you become a tuition tot. So leaving all the memories behind, I leaped into my new life - " Non Medical Student".

I entered the field unknowing of future studies , but just for the fact that a successful engineer is a big earner. A big earner has a better life. Better life means better options and more freedom. So for all the things -> You have to be a Successful Engineer. And for that you need to be in some Big Institute, that promises that we will train you in such a way that you will crack IIT. *Laughs*

Also because my 6th grade HINDI teacher told my Mom that I will become a scientist because I wrote a good essay on it (Which I copied from google).
And Guidance issue -> I have no IITians, NITians or any type of Science student in my family that I know. All are in business related activity. If I had some brother /Sister /Cousin doing non med, they would have come and already explain to me what was it.

So with this lack of Guidance and high in hopes with good CGPA in 10th grade I joined a famous Top institute "Sky-IITJee ". The total fees for my 2 years study that I can recall was 2.2 lacks that included Tuition fees, books, accessories like Bag, an ugly sweatshirt, 20 benches that were converted into canvas by me and taxes (Don't forget to pay Taxes).

The tuition was the beginning of my new ride.
