He: don’t u think 5 is very less, I mean other guys r rating 8 and 9 r they wrong

Me: no sir, the context they speak is wrong sir, They might have scored
90 of 100 in academics n rate themselves but practically there is
difference in real time implementation than the bookish knowledge.
He: so u talk abt practical implementation, wot do u know abt that

Me: actually I have been working for 5 months in Trina systems which is
a great company to work with, where I found v need to bridge the gap

He: do u think Indian politics is good

Me: yes indeed
He: then y is that v r in such a crisis

Me: only thing is v need 2 implement in a proper way 2 get it better
and in my defense v have borrowed this from British people who actually
are among the super powers and I m sure we will also become but takes
time.
He: Wot do u know abt Indian politics

Me: India is a social secular democratic where every one realize rite 2 vote and also ppl are treated as govt bla bla
He: There is a movie rite one day PM

Me: oke okkadu.. and its CM not PM

Me: would reject the offer since I m an IT guy having very narrow scope abt it and in that movie he is a journalist
He: assume u know everything then

Me: related with software life cycle and xplained that I will only
address those requirements, which could be met in 24 hrs of time. Will
make a quick analysis and also gather the requirement from my
subordinates by consulting few and try 2 meet the things which most of
consultants suggest and assign the work 2 them making sure they
complete in time
He: if u were given a project of 9 ppl out of which one is not
working at all and ur project manager, how will you handle this
situation

Me: will straight away talk 2 him and give him deadline 2 correct
himself, else if I m at the liberty to fire him I shall check his past
history based on which I shall tackle. Else I shall report it to my
higher officials

Me: no company is ever grown sir, and TCS is a large-scale company
He: what does it take for an company 2 grow

Me: initially a small scale company establishes by handling few
projects, if they could satisfy their client then they gain good will
and publicity which in turn increase their clients. To meet the
requirement they need to employ resources and infrastructure
