BMR Advisors - The first interview of my life. :D

The first thing I would like to say is first thing is always wonderful. Just remember how wonderful it might had been for your parents when you say "maa" for the first time, when you have walked single step for a first time, when you had crawled the single step of ladder for the first time( they might have been  surprise and watched you with loving eyes).

  Doing something whatever it is either good or bad, either productive or unproductive, either social or unsocial it is always wonderful. I remember my first love and whenever I remember I certainly feel wonderful. Yeah, my college friends they know it was a type of one-sided and reading this some of you may totally disagree but it was a real wonderful time.

I don’t want to make you think a lot with my unnecessary philosophy and I know I am not too good in literature too. What was the main intention to write this article was to share a most important day of my life with you all. Although I am uncertain about the results what will happen next moment the experience I got today was magical.

I was not able to sleep till 3 in the morning. Whenever I tried to close my eyes only single thing used to ran in my mind “today is interview and first round is group discussion” it’s not that I didn’t tried to forget and sleep but I was unable. The artificial picture and imagination in my mind kept on running, I woke up wrote one blog posted it, shared it in various social sites like facebook and google plus and tried to minimize the load of my mind but gosh I was unable.

I woke up, lit the light keep roaming around the free space of mine and watched the mirror then started conversation with my own image just to persuade my heart that I am strong enough and now I need to sleep. How can my bloody heart let me sleep so easily? It has habit of playing with my pains. It has played a lot when I was in love life, make me cried sometime too (might sound funny because its reality).

I don’t know when I slept. I don’t know the exact time when I closed my eye but when my alarm rang I found myself in bed. My blanket was in the floor and I need to pull my bed to take out pillow from the corner of the bed. But I was happy I slept. I looked the time it was 7’o clock in the morning. I postponed my bathing plan and then postponed my alarm time to 8’0 clock and then slept again.

Dhak dhak dhak dhak

Me: kaun hey bey, abhi to soya hu (who is there I have just slept)

And then one boy spoke from outside:- bhai chaye lekar aaya hu ( I have brought the tea)

I was shocked. Oh teri  tyo    it was already 8:30. Then I started rushing. Scold him for not coming earlier and then started rushing for being fresh. Dressed up, carried documents and took step outside.

I ordered banana shake had it, ask newspaper from local vendor and went to metro heading towards Sikanderpur.

I was boosting myself when I was on the way. I started remembering it was not the first time I was going to do group discussion. I had done it hundreds of time before. I had done when I was member of Eco-Valley club, I had done when I was vice president of Junior Red Cross Circle, I had done when I was school captain leading ten members in school captain team. Ok the only thing that was different was that there it was not said it is group discussion and here it is declared that it is group discussion.

When I reached sikanderpur and took and auto to phase III tower 5 then my heart started beating hard. I started being nervous. My good luck was there again. One well-dressed man in suit came hurriedly and asked me to share the auto. We started chatting. He was newly qualified CA and he was going for interview in another reputed firm EY. I got chance again, I asked for reference if he had any. He said he will try for Grant Thorton. We shared the contacts and then I left earlier as my building was nearer than that of his.

I went inside and then move towards lift. Guard blocked me and said, “sir, name and signature please” showing the register. I smiled and said sorry. I gave my name, address and phone number along with my VIP signature.

Took lift and it was the time I was too much nervous. Alone and I had nothing to think about. 19^th floor a man joined the lift. Then came 22^nd floor and I came out of the lift.

The story of BMR Advisors begins

I went inside guard asked me in English, “sir, your name please?”

I said Dipendra and he started searching my name in list.

Then he asked me to verify my email id. I did it. He gave me the form and said, “sir, fill it and then submit it”

I watched him with my big bull eye. Smiled and said to myself, “guard can speak better english than me”

There  firm had mentioned thanks note for choosing BMR and the procedure of interview along with blank space to fill my personal details.

It was not the hard task for me. To fill my personal details was the easiest job but what made me think is, “why do you choose BMR? And what are your qualities that make you to choose BMR?”

Something like that, I don’t remember what exactly the question was but surely I remember what type of answer I gave.

I wrote that I want specialized knowledge which firms like BMR can only provide me. I am enthusiastic by nature and I want to take the bigger risks and complicated problems. BMR is expert in solving the complicated problems so I want to join BMR ( at that time my brain wasn't working properly.  A boy who was next to me was not participant and he was there to support his friend. He was looking my resume eagerly and in a sudden way he asked me in Nepali language that if I was student of Nava Jyoti School. He started saying about himself. He had taken education from Nepal but he was an Indian by nationality. He praised Kathmandu and the beauties( girls) of Kathmandu in very short.

I submitted my form and then a young man came to call us for group discussion round.

Everyone entered, a person who was conducting discussion round asked to sit beside the chair and then he said he will call name and then sit down in a continue clockwise pattern.

My name came I took the sit. No one uttered the single sound. It was completely pin drop silence. I was feeling uncomfortable but also I sat straight and paid the special attention that I won’t move the chair, don’t create noisy sound of pen and started looking at others. After few moments, topic was decided by the conductor “is god male?”

You have one minute to prepare and ten minutes to discuss about it.

Aayush agarawal started with the brilliant note. It was just the mind blowing way. I caught the line immediately supporting him that god is neither male nor female.

The discussion went on. I tried to do my best. I showed more democratic way asking others to give chance to those who hadn’t uttered the single word at all. I don’t know what will be the consequences.

But giving interview in such a standard platform was the great experience for me. I feel real lucky. If I don’t get selected to I am not going to throw my dreams overboard. I know Edison failed thousands time before when he innovated electric lights, Abraham failed many times in life before he became president.

So I won’t make the reason to give up by showing my temporary failures as full time failure.
