Updates from recruiting week

Fuqua looks different these days, with every one in formal suits. I have had couple of interviews. On campus recruiting is no doubt very competitive, with every one being very qualified. That being said, all of us prepare together, do mocks. The SYs are very helpful and some of them have been working with us for several hours daily. I owe a lot to my classmates, who helped me in my job search, which I started a little late.


I have few second(final) round and a few first round interviews coming up next week. In the end, one's degree of preparedness, the passion for the job decides your fate. Am keeping my fingures crossed and trying to maintain focus. Let's see how things shape up.

Internship Interviews next week

Today, we came to know the final list for all the interviews next week. It looks like a busy and eventful week for me. I have been speaking with my friends in other schools, and one thing which I like about Fuqua, is the timing of Internship interviews.

Our classes start on 21st january, after full 2 weeks of recruiting. This is a boon, given the amount of work one has during classes. Also, we have only 3 courses this quarter, as opposed to 4 courses.

I am keeping my fingers crossed, for my interviews. The preparation reminds me of MBA interview preparation. A large part of round one interview is behavioural - STAR format. Good Luck to all for internship interviews and internship search.

Sufi Music - Rabbi Shergill and more
(This music is exceptional so will deviate from the blog theme :)

The new album by Rabbi Shergill, based on Sufi Music of 18th century is very soothing. Even though most of the people who have heard this album, dont understand the meaning, they find it uplifting. Here is a link to the song "Bulla ki jaana maen koun"

And here is the one of the "good" translations of the song. However, as we all know, any translation can achieve only so much. I find the original text to be much more intense and full with feelings

Not a believer inside the mosque,
am I Nor a pagan disciple of false rites
Not the pure amongst the impure
Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
Not in the holy Vedas, am I
Nor in opium, neither in wine
Not in the drunkard`s craze
Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
In happiness nor in sorrow, am I
Neither clean, nor a filthy mire
Not from water, nor from earth
Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
Not an Arab, nor Lahori
Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri
Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari
Nor do I live in Nadaun Bulleh! to me, I am not
known Secrets of religion, I have not known
From Adam and Eve, I am not born
I am not the name I assume
Not in stillness, nor on the move
Bulleh! to me, I am not known
I am the first, I am the last
None other, have I ever known
I am the wisest of them all
Bulleh! do I stand alone?Bulleh! to me, I am not known
