Place - Delhi
Two males and one female.
P1 - Harish Krishnamachar Sir, P2 - Lady Industry Professional, P3- Jay Trivedi Sir
A person from panellist came outside and invited me inside. I greeted him and greeted other two panels.
They greeted back with smile face and asked me to sit.
I said, "After you sir." (the one who asked me to get in)
P1- "Arey baitho aaram se."
Me - Thanks (Sat after him)
P2 - "What is the meaning of your name?"
Me - Brightness of the sun.
P2 - "Wow. Who gave you this name father or mother?"
Me - Mother.
P2 - "Where it is derived from or commonly used?"
Me - It's from Persia. And generally used as a surname. We have a Chief Minister like Shibu Soren, Hemant Soren. My mother found it in a book and liked it.
P2 - "Do you like your name?"
Me - Yes, it's a unique name. Everyone asked me the meaning of the name, and sometimes it works as an icebreaker to start the conversation.
P1,P2,P3 - "Ooh. Nice" (they like icebreaker thing I assume)
P2 - "Did you get any fashion instinct from your mother?"(my mother is a fashion designer)
Me - Creativity.
P2 - "Arre we don't want creative people. We have already selected 4 creative people. Creative ka quota khatam", and they all started laughing.
Me - (I was confused) I have a different sense of creativity.
P2 - (laughing among themselves) "Go ahead tell me."
Me - For me it is about getting things done, thinking on your feet and finding the solution, it's not necessary to get out of box idea you can copy someone and work accordingly to get the things done. (Copy word I know I am dead now)
P2- "So you will copy ideas."
Me - I didn't mean that you can use if there are no copyright issues. I don't want to get into legal trouble(I know I was dead)
P2 -"Mujhey Anu Malik vali feel aarahi hai."
Me - (confused Anu malik kaha seeagaya) Sorry ma'am?
P2- "You don't know about Anu Malik?"
Me - Yes I know he is a singer, did he copy anything?
P1 - "Yes all songs."
P1 - "Why your grades are low. You don't use to study? School bi jate the?"
Me - Sir there is an upward graph and I am.. (was interrupted In between)
P2 - "Kya upward graph is this no 64-67-74.
60s used to be good in our time but not now. I think you only do what is required."
Me - Sir I was active in sports (was cut again).
P2 - "What you did in GE?"
Me - I pitched my ideas, was focused more on implementing and organizing things. We were getting so many ideas and we had limited space so I focused on getting the things done within the time.
P2 - "So you are saying implementing is important not others?"
Me - Other things are also important but implementing is more important.
P2 - "Planning is not important?"
Me - Initially we have to plan to set the direction. But there is no point of getting 10 ideas and implementing none rather getting 5 ideas and implementing all.
P1-: "Yaar education ka kafi likha Hai Kuch batao." (Mentioned teaching as my hobby)
Me - Sir teaching gives me a sense of responsibility, maturity; it's completely a different feeling when you become a part of someone's dream and help them to achieve it. I have seen myself transform from a notorious and easily getting angry kid to a mature one.
P2 - "A person can be notorious and mature both at the same time."
Me - Ma'am I was very notorious in school and was less focused on studies and use to play cricket a lot.
P2 - "Are you covering up for your marks?"
Me - No, No, it's truth I use to play a lot, I was crazy about it. In hot summers I have played for 12 hours.
P2 - "Don't tell me you don't play cricket now."
Me - I play on weekends.
P1 - "What you do in cricket?"
Me - All-rounder, I like fielding than batting than bowling.
P2 - "All-rounder ki pasand bi toh fielding. At what point you use to field?"
Me - At point and gully.
P2 - "Who is your favourite?"
Me - Jonty Rhodes.
P1 - "Tell me more about product development you have done that. What are 3 essential things?"
Me - "Told them about the product, marketing, cash flow statement, target audience."
P1- (seems satisfied) "You are from Delhi. Tell me anyone problem that is impacting a lot."
Me - Pollution.
P1 - "Tell one single major contributor to it."
Me - Municipal waste, Delhi produces 8000 tonnes daily, even an illegal burning a fraction of 2-3% of it contributes pm 2.5 1800kg/day and pm 10 2000kg/day.
P1 - "what is the solution?"
Me - Pollution is at its highest level. People burning illegally should be put behind bars, strict punishment, heavily penalized.
P1 - "Okay tell me, major contributor."
Me - sir this is the major contributor it contributes 23% of total pollution this is a study by IIT K.
P1 and P3 - seems satisfied.
Me - Sir if you allow I can tell you one more solution.
P1 - "Please go ahead."
Me - Instead of odd-even we can follow last digit like vehicle ending with 1 will be banned on 1st, 11th, 21st and 31st. So on till 0. This will be applicable on all vehicles, by this we are taking off 1/10th of the vehicles and it will not be problematic for people. Mexico and China have done this.
P2 - "What went wrong in odd even. Was it planning or implementing?"
Me - Ma'am there were some issues.. (was interrupted in between)
