I hate group discussions

                                        
Forgive me.But I'm the kind of guy who calls a spade a spade.


It’s  placement timefor Btech folks . Figuratively speaking, the “turning point” for the final years who have been squandering away to glory for 3 bloody years .Never were my friends this serious about things .The heyday of their achievements was in 2007,when IITJEE/AIEEE/other bullshit exams promised to pave way for naive aspirants to undergo a momentous transformation into engineers. Really?
Here we are , in our new formal outfits ;backed up by de facto certificates; armed with a pseudo accent, trying to impress a goddamn panel which is gonna check how good we are faking at(Precisely,communication skills).
To begin with, I detest group discussions, for I cant stand the blatant bluffing and drunken shouting that’s done behind the tables.Secondly,why should I want to discuss “Legalization of gay marriages in India”, "Is Karan Thapar Psyched ?” kind of things?  Stupidly akin to discussing career graphs of Uday Chopra or Tushar Kapoor. Patience transcends beyond endurance when we are unwittingly requested to change our stance on the crock.That’s what I call genuinely contemptible,if contemptible describes it best.
With a presumption that the loudmouthed lad/lass is gonna get selected,the talks start off small, insidiously growing into an argument, finally culminating in inalterable altercations.We start talking, talking serious crap which comes nowhere near sanity, unconscionably betraying sensibility.Unsurprisingly, people who sit for a GD along with us are our friends. It’s then that we actually get to see the formal facet of our mates, who have never spoken to us without a tinge of slang, trying weird traditional gestures, referring to bizarre statistics, and not to forget the pointless interjections poked in the wink of an eye.You’d want to laugh in their faces, wouldn’t you?And when things are at the peak of chaos, when stentorian voices are disproving  gullible idiots, the schemer wakes up and says I think we are deviating from the topic,aren’t we? Dash him.Hell, he should be made to memorize a  100 Japanese names and reproduce them.The species whose characteristic trait is to keep babbling without leaving any space for others to talk, must be massacred along with Bollywood's most successful plagiarist,Pritam.


Well, being sober in GDs is the next worst thing you can do after trying to marry Rakhi Sawant.You either get tangled up in the talk or you are in juxtaposition with one of those  left over samosas in an ancient cafe running out of business.Because if you keep your mouth shut, you become invisible in the real sense of the word.Your presence is not acknowledged unless you infuse an idiotic note into the dramatic series of events.Finally,for those of you who try to dominate the hell lot with your senseless chatter, here's what I've got to say: "The moment you step outta this room,I will tear you limb to limb,head to toe, crush your bones till you bow, and dance the teen maar on your remains".

It comes down to this: You try to be diplomatic;you try to be soft spoken;you try acting like one of those NDTV guys- all the same, you are ousted.
Cry your lungs out;inflict colossal damage on the confidence of the people around you;occasionally thump the table hard as you stress your point- you're in.
