I hope I am like that....

it's just one of the thing i came across...i never really knew there was so much to my name...

P is for Powerful
R is for romantic
A is for adventurous
B is for Brilliant
H is for Helpful
A is for Artistic
K is for Keen
A is for Artistic
R is for Refined


It says too many things...
P for powerful...well i really dun know..i mean i m almost a 1D man..and so thin that at times i can slip through slit of my room door..and i am still unemployed...still 1.5 months to go for my joining...but given a situation and my interest in that i feel i can dictate terms...if i really want to!!;).
R for romantic... I really need a subject to try and test that out...any volunteers??>:D...
A for Adventurous... well most of my adventures..activities are indoors..hehehee..like trying to get the bug out of my room..and beating some german asses in my fav. computer game CALL OF DUTY...so i m adventurous...virtually :).
B for Brilliant...No comments!!!o:).
H for helpful...recently got disqualified for some test cause i was helping my friend clear the test...the firm was good with great package..he did clear..but my sheet was not checked..they thought i was the one who needed help...i also didn't put my case forward...i have already got what i wanted...*content*.
A for Artistic...:okee i feel so...that won't be a hyperbole if i tell you guys i learnt the lead on guitar on my own...and can play it quite well...though still i dunno the technical terms for the various chords and other stuff about that... and I do paint..and wish i could show you guys some, ...my fav is "Reaching for the Apple of Sin"...i don't maintain a collection..but i believe i can find that...in the piles of papers that i have in my room, will get that scanned soon.
K for keen...:how did they find out...lemme check ;).
A for artistic...: well i didn't know i was doubly artistic :D.
R for refined...: I think I am attimes and pretty crude at other times...though I enjoy the most when I am crude.

I don't know how true that was the things i got for my name...but surely it gives a very interesting answer for my next interview on landlines...i.e. for call centers...>:D....now i'll surely describe myself to them...
adios

Call fom the call center.....

well the last post might have potrayed me a boffin but believe me ...i am just a normal guy..with not so normal heart and completely abnormal attitude. Anyways this post is not meant to write abstract stuff, lemme tell you about me, things which are more concrete.
I was searching for something to write about...life has come to a standstill all of a sudden, so all I am doing right now is just trying to kill some time, as my earliest joining date has still 1.5 months to go. And since i don't like sitting kicking my toes all the time, I decided to have some fun........so i decided to send my resume to one of the call centers.....so just applied online.
After few days I did get a call on phone....

mummy: johny come...some girl on phone. (with some puzzled look on her face...because not many call me :-)).

ladyqs1: hello is this Prabhakar Lakhera?
Means1: Yeah this is Prabhakar. (I am pretty sure she already had the answer.)

ladyqs2: It's in response to your apllication for XYZ....can you describe yourself.
( i really don't like the word describe...it makes you feel as if you are nothing but some mathematical equation...i know some ppl who are Y axis and some who are, x^2+y^2+z^2=r^2, physically but i think for my shape i'll have to use splines...but then as i thought it was about telling her who am I!!...why can't they just say:"Can you tell us something about yourself?").
Means2: hey I think most of the acad things are on the resume that i mailed you guys..and my name too... my hobbies too..... so what exactly do you want know.....

ladyqs3: Just assume I know nothing about you...tell me your name...and go on.(lolz...Whom she was asking on phone then?? it reminds me of the famous dialogue from Sholay when Amitabh says: "Basanti tumahraaa... naam kya hai?"....first the "Describe" thing and then the stupid idea..i was really not feeling very great..).
Means3: Okay ( ..buhaann :-((,..) I am Prabhakar Lakhera, and I did my B.E. from NSIT, Delhi. My stream was ICE. I am a deadliner and try to finish my work before the deadline comes ..so that i can go through the things i have done and see that there are no mistakes....and (now i really broke down.... ) ...and blah blah blah!!!! I mean what else do you wanna know?

Ladyqs4: Okay okay...tell me about your family.
Means4: (ahhhhh!!! finally some good qs , i love telling people about my family :).) Yeah, it is a big family..;) . I have four sisters..the eldest is Regional commissioner EPFO, my 2nd sis is practicing medicine in USA, then my 3rd sis is doing Phd from Mississippi, USA and my youngest sister is in final year MBBS from LHMC, delhi. My mother is a housewife and my father is scientist at DIPAS, DRDO.
( i know what the lady must have been thinking.."why is he applying for a call center job??"...)

ladyqs5: (suspicious now!) Hmmm ..Why do you wanna do this job?
Means5: Hey i think the job profile suits me to a T and there are lots of growth opportunities for me. ..(lolz ;))

ladyqs6: Where do you stay...?
Means6: (laughing...)Well most of the time in my home..;)
"(lolz from other side!!!!!!!!)...nooooo..hehe"
okee i mean it's R.K. Puram, New Delhi.>:D!!

ladyqs7: Okay..hmmm...Can you come for night shifts?
Means7: Hell no!!..i mean.. i can't because I don't have a conveyance..

"But that would b provided by us."
No i am sorry...security concerns...

"but even girls come for night shifts..."
buttt.. . (..wondering whether it was incentive or a fact...)...okay point noted..
i mean if i say..i m okay with that...is it gonna increase my chances of getting in..!!?

"well yes..then we can straight away take you!!!"
(enuf of it.....hufff...) ok i'll let you know.

"can i hv your cell plzzz."
I am afraid but..i don't have a cell..

"well you'll have now....ok give me your residence number..."
(...lolz..!!! or was it a trick question!) Hey... i think you called me on some number...that's the one!!!!!

" okay in a week's time i would let ya know...."
okay ...done..can i have your number please..?

" well it's ....#%#$%^&^#.."
Noooo i mean >:D...your perrrrsonaal number..

" (Lolz...) hey ...you can call me here. You'll find me at my desk only..."
okayyy...

" hey nice talking to you ..."
believe me !!! same here...

"byee"
okss ciao.

....

and so i really had some fun there, there were other qs too...but too many to mention... "Do you feel comfortable talking to the foreigners..." :| ..i can't talk in french, spanish, german, japanese...so generally NO!!! and i also don't spend much of my time at CP trying to get a word from the Goras ;)...so i told her...i haven't been to USA or UK...so I really can't rate myself for that... but it was a nice experience..you get to know the process that goes into the selection process and listening to the accent of the interviewer makes you feel proud that now it's us who are torturing the Britishers >:D....

adios and have a great day!!!!
love you all...( the feelings even more true for the girls ;)...)
