I had written a post titled “Best E-mail I’ve ever received” in February. This was when I had got a call from MICA. But I was rejected in the interview. And the most amazing thing is that I dont feel even a tinge of disappointment for that. And that e-mail was the best till then.
This e-mail - from FLAME - is something that I consider of highest value to me (much more than the MICA call letter). Now, guys at FLAME, send me another e-mail fast. I am waiting eagerly!
This is the Email I was waiting for since a long time…and now, keeping my fingers crossed for the final selection!!!
Hope to receive one more e-mail in the last week of this month. Haa…still a long time!
Finally it’s done!
I had my gdpi…there was no one at 830…
But they started the gd sharp at 9. Dr. Indira was not there on the panel but Achyut Vaze was.
Topic was “Who make better managers? Men or Women?” In my grp there were 9 people (2 did not turn up).
Gd was chilled out but a lot of beating around the bush bcoz it was so general topic and no one had anything to speak after ten mins…
Then, pi, I felt it was good but others told me it took a lot of time (it took half an hour). Questions were on
GD experience
Why MBA
Why FLAME
about my graduation
my goals in life
general knowledge
describe yourself
hobbies
work experience
full form of flame
what did you think of when you saw the website
newspaper headlines, etc.
But it was good. They were listening patiently.
But a lot of questions and surprisingly from GK (wimbeldon and largest states of india)…
Unlike any other experience…this was truly unique!!!
Now, long wait for one more e-mail starts…
