Good questions and great answers
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?
He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
What will you do if I run away with your sister?":
The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"
Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.
Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.
Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked
Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"
He got selected.
You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.
(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet)
Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet)
Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"
Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"? People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc...
But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.
So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!
Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files."
Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask.....
And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-witted ness. ........

12 things your CV should NOT have..... Interview Tips for ALL
Your CV is your marketing brochure through which you try to sell a commodity, ie your skills to the potential buyer ie the prospective employer. The sole purpose of your CV is to fetch you an interview call. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, creating a CV isn't as simple as just using flowery language and pretty fonts. There are certain things that put recruiters off and if you want to make a good impression, make sure you do not commit these mistakes in what is arguably the most valuable document of your job hunt.
While the rules listed are well-founded, they are not carved in stone. At times you will need to break the rules. If you want to add these things knowingly and purposefully to your CV we advise you to do that.
The points mentioned here are not listed in the order of priority; instead they are listed in the sequence in which they usually appear on a CV.
~ Colorful or glossy paper and flashy fonts
Your CV is a formal, official document. Keep it simple.
~ Resume or CV at the top
Many people tend to add headings to their CV. The usual are CV, Curriculum Vitae and Resume. Do not do this.
~ Photographs until asked
Do not add your photo to the CV until you have been asked for it. Photographs are required only for certain types of positions like models, actors etc.
~ Usage of 'I', 'My', 'He', 'She'
Do not use these in your CV. Many candidates write, 'I worked as Team Leader for XYZ Company' or 'He was awarded Best Employee for the year 2007'. Instead use bullet points to list out your qualifications/ experience like: Team leader for XYZ Company from 2006-2007.
~ Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
Proofread your CV until you are confident that it doesn't have any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. These are big put-offs for the recruiters. Moreover, sometimes these mistakes might land you in an embarrassing situation.
A candidate who submitted his CV without proofreading it committed the mistake of wrongly spelling 'ask' as 'ass'. Now you can imagine the type of embarrassment he must have faced during the interview, when the interviewer pointed it out. These mistakes tend to convey a lazy and careless attitude to the interviewer.
~ Lies about your candidature
Do not lie about your past jobs or qualifications or anything which might have an impact on the job. You may be able to secure a job with these lies today but tomorrow you may lose it as well.
~ Abbreviations or jargon that is difficult to understand
People screening your resume usually belong to the HR department. If they do not understand what the abbreviations and jargon mean, they will simply dump your CV in the trash can. Avoid over-using such terms as far as possible.
~ Reasons for leaving last job
Leave these reasons to be discussed during the personal interview. For example, some candidates write: Reason for leaving the last job: Made redundant. Avoid making such statements in your CV, they add no value. Besides, if you do get an interview call, chances are the interviewer will address the issue.
~ Past failures or health problems
Mentioning these immediately slash your chances of getting an interview call.
For instance, you have a gap in your employment because you started your own business which did not do well. Some candidates might write -- Reason for gap in employment: Started own business which failed. Do not do this type of injustice with your job hunt at this stage of writing the CV.
~ Current or expected salary
Leave it to be discussed while negotiating the salary.
~ Irrelevant details
Leave out the details like marital status, sex, passport number, number of kids, age of kids. These are usually irrelevant for most interviewers but at times could be used as a basis for discrimination.
~ References
Do not include them until asked. In fact, it is not even required to mention the line 'Reference available on request'. If the recruiter requires a reference, he/she will ask you to bring it along for the interview.
Now that you have run through the list, take a fresh look at your CV and prune away unnecessary details and un affordable blunders that could have cost you your dream job.

Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always in life.
Varun, Tamanna together again
The hit pair of Varun Sandesh and Tamanna from Happy Days is coming together once again in a new film Pellivaarillu, produced by M.S. Raju and directed by Kodi Ramakrishna. Navdeep and Sindhu Menon is the other pair. Varun is presently acting in Dil Raju's Kotha Bangaru Lokam and Tamanna is acting in Ninna Nedu Repu with Ravi Krishan. Dil Raju expressed confidence that Varun and Tamanna will repeat their magic in the new film too.
Chiru to open third "eye" on April 7
Finally Chiranjeevi's political party is going to be launched on April 7th, on the eve of Ugadi. According to the unconfirmed news the party name is Swayam Krushi and the symbol is "Eye". The symbol is available at Election Commission!
To eradicate corruption is the party's main agenda, sources say. Talks are going on with fans and also the second grade politicians belonging to main parties.
Naga Babu, brother of Chiranjeevi is in regular touch with the fans and motivating them for the mega cause.
Though the news is kept a big secret all these days somehow it broke and already creating ripples all over the state.
Let's hope that the launch wouldn't be further delayed.
Pawan's Jalsa songs leaked!
These days the leakage of songs prior to the audio release is becoming a feature of South Indian films. First it was Rajni's Shivaji songs which were leaked on the internet and few months back few songs from Okka Magadu got disclosed much before the audio was released.
It's now the turn of Jalsa, Pawan Kalyan's latest film songs. Few songs from this film are leaked on the internet and are being circulated through mails.
First things first… Jalsa songs are stunning, simply superb. Devisri Prasad has done brilliant job. The title track "Saregama padanisa arey karo karo jara Jalsa…" is definitely going to create ripples. If all the songs in the album are up to this song's standards then Jalsa audio will surely boost up the film's fortunes.

Did Jodhabai really exist?
According to history books, Prince Jehangir married Mote Raja Udai Singh's daughter Manmat Kanwar, who was also known as Jodhabai, as she came from the Jodhpurs kingdom. By the marriage, Emperor Akbar became her father-in-law. She was three years younger to Jehangir..............Salim's mother, according to historians, was the elder daughter of Maharajah Bharmal of Jaipur. The marriage between Emperor Akbar and Harkanbai (Salim's mother) took place on February 6, 1562. Salim was born in 1569.........................
jodha is Akbar's wife, as we have seen in film mughal e- azam and in one television serial called "Akbar" made by tipu Sultan (some khan), why there are no protests at that time. just go and enjoy the movie with such great ability done by Ashotosh.............

Ram Charan in 'Polladhavan' remake?
Ram Charan Teja's first film Chiruta has just completed 50 days. Naturally, the fans of the mega star are already dying to know what his next film would be.
Though there are rumors about SS Rajamouli making a film with him, the latest from the Geeta Arts is that they have bought the rights of Dhanush-starrer Polladhavan.
The original had Divya playing the lead opposite Dhanush. Efforts are on to get Divya to play the lead with Charan too.
We had already reported that Geeta Arts is shaping up into a large production house, where it will have multiple ventures on the floors at the same time.
The search is presently on for a director. Dhanush' was directed by Vettiraman.

SONY BMG acquires the Biggest - DASAVATHARAM
With India emerging as one of the hottest entertainment markets, SONY BMG, the number one music company in the world, is marking its expanding footsteps into the regional music industry in India. Sony BMG has made its entry into the growing music market in Tamil Nadu by signing on the biggest blockbuster of the year - DASAVATHARAM.
SONY BMG signed the biggest blockbuster of the year - V Ravichandran's DASAVATHARAM starring the legendary Kamal Hassan. Kollywood's leading producer and distributor, V Ravichandran of Oscar Films Pvt. Ltd. confirming the release date of his film said, 'DASAVATHARAM is getting ready for a worldwide solo release on April 10, Thursday. It will release big in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out.'
Excited about venturing into the Tamil Market, Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, SONY BMG India, 'It is a privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as DASAVATHARAM. Being associated with Mr. Kamal Hassan & Mr. V Ravichandran in our very first Tamil project says a lot about the equity of SONY BMG, even in the markets where our presence has not been significant till recently. DASAVATHARAM is a very special beginning to the things to come and it shows our commitment to be a serious long term player in this market. SONY BMG has always redefined the way music has been marketed, and we are looking forward to setting new standards here as well.'
DASAVATHARAM, the most expected movie of the year 2007, features Kamal Hassan in ten different roles, countered by the heroine Asin's dual role in the movie. Mallika Sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. She appears as a CIA agent while Jayapradha, the well-known character artist, plays another important role in the movie. Music for DASAVATHARAM is scored by none other than Himesh Reshammiya. This is his debut in Kollywood.
The music for this film is slated to be launched in the first week of March. Also in the pipeline are several promising non-film albums, which include one by the very talented Yuvan Shankar. This marks SONY BMG's foray into the as-yet unexplored Tamil Pop and Non-Film music space. SONY BMG thus aims to redefine and initiate an entirely new experience of Indipop music in this region, as it has already successfully done in the existing markets.

1.Ritual and Ceremonies increases the value of the society, does the absence of these…….. results to the downfall of the society?????
ARGUMENT TOPIC:
1.Oven Baskets, which are very famous in Palean city, are also found in Lithos city which is within city of Palean city. There is a deep and long river between these two cities which needs minimum transportation to cross the river and there is no evidence that Palean needs boats or cargos or large ships. Palean city consists of thick forest which consists of nuts, samegame etc…………….. so Oven Baskets are not unique to Palean city.(something like this)
2.Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who still ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish margarine from butter, or they use the term 'butter' to refer to either butter or margarine. Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter, the Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast as well."

COMPLETE ARGUMENT TOPICS:
1. The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of Alta Manufacturing.
"During the past year, Alta Manufacturing had thirty percent more on-the-job accidents than nearby Panoply Industries, where the work shifts are one hour shorter than ours. Experts believe that a significant contributing factor in many on-the-job accidents is fatigue and sleep deprivation among workers. Therefore, to reduce the number of on-the-job accidents at Alta and thereby increase productivity, we should shorten each of our three work shifts by one hour so that our employees will get adequate amounts of sleep."
2. The following appeared in a business magazine.
"As a result of numerous consumer complaints of dizziness and nausea, Promofoods requested that eight million cans of tuna be returned for testing last year. Promofoods concluded that the cans did not, after all, contain chemicals that posed a health risk. This conclusion is based on the fact that the chemists from Promofoods tested samples of the recalled cans and found that, of the eight chemicals most commonly blamed for causing symptoms of dizziness and nausea, five were not found in any of the tested cans. The chemists did find that the three remaining suspected chemicals are naturally found in all other kinds of canned foods."
3. The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
“Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.”
4. From a letter to the editor of a city newspaper.
"Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who still ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish margarine from butter, or they use the term 'butter' to refer to either butter or margarine. Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter, the Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast as well."
5. The following appeared in a memo from the owner of Green Thumb Gardening Center, a small business serving a suburban town.
"There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables. A national survey conducted last month indicated that many consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine GreatGardens has sold out at the Village News stand three months in a row. Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners this coming spring."

ARGUMENT TOPIC:
1.The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
“Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.”

ARGUMENT TOPIC:
1. The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of Alta Manufacturing.
"During the past year, Alta Manufacturing had thirty percent more on-the-job accidents than nearby Panoply Industries, where the work shifts are one hour shorter than ours. Experts believe that a significant contributing factor in many on-the-job accidents is fatigue and sleep deprivation among workers. Therefore, to reduce the number of on-the-job accidents at Alta and thereby increase productivity, we should shorten each of our three work shifts by one hour so that our employees will get adequate amounts of sleep."
