The other side of the table

December 2005: The anxious final year grad student is heading out of the college. I have a presentation to attend at The Park, Chennai. Followed by several rounds of interview. [Gulp] If I clear them, then I would soon be working with the search engine leader. [Thought bubble with my happy face]

February 2008: I reach the same place: The Park, Chennai. Seems nothing less than a posh suite to me. I plonk myself on the soft bed and think about the questions I want to put to the candidates, the next morning. [nose up in the air] It suddenly struck me - I have reached the other side of the table. I probably don't feel good about growing up, except on a few rare occasions. [Cupping my palms] I want to save this one.
