Interviewer : Tell me about yourself. Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Inst it ute of Technology. Interviewer : BabanRao Dhole-Patil Inst it ute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before! Candidate : Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it.. What happened is due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him baap) I can not invest so much of money.(The baap actually said I will never waste so much of money on you). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya .. Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering. Candidate : Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years. Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6. Candidate: Oh, is it ? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot.. I think they should ban it. Interviewer : Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned. Candidate : No, no I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer : Do you have any project management experience? Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldnt be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility. And very important I know few words like Showstoppers , hot fixes, SEI-CMM, quality, version control, deadlines , Customer Satisfaction etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes! Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company? Candidate : Not much. 1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.. 2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent. 3. I believe in flexi-timings. 4. Dress Code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans. 5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork. 6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there are Olympics coming up in China in the current year, i dont mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and dont have many expectations. So can I assume my selection? Interviewer : he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to INFOSYS. The fellow was appointed in a newly created section Stress Management in the HRD of Infosys.
