The excerpts are as below (taken fron his dairy): (the events are based on facts!!!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After reading ramkumar's debu mail about his interview with railways,I want to disclose my 1st interview which happened a few weeks before. One fine day I decided to apply for job,the options were many as I am having a bombastic acads(55%!!! with only 6 kt!!!)....so I made a chartlist of diff. companies.... 1. Infosys2.satyam3.wipro   etc. But all these are substandard comp. according to my intellect,personality,ability.. I finally made a decision, I directly applied for a job in MICROSOFT CORP. As expected I got a call letter for interview I boarded a V.T train...oops ...an America flight & landed ultimately in microsoft factory...oops...corp. building The interview began the interviewer was BillGates(B.G)& immediately he started the session B.G: what is u'r name?
