Conditional Love !

Here goes another bit of my interview experiences. Not an experience as such, as I was not involved myself instead overheard someone else. A girl named 'Neha' had all her interview around her name, which actually means love and one of the questions was :Is love always unconditional.

Now, I loved that question coz have done some thinking on it lately...shouldnt the question be : Is love always conditional ? Tell me one person who has loved without putting forward any condition. Ya, the difference might lie in the selfishness of the condition. It could be as vague as "I just want to be with you" and be with you coz you "make me happy". A condition ! Or it could be as defined as "I love you because you are sweet/charming/beautiful/intelligent/stupid" or coz you can "dance/sing/talk sense". A conditional approach to love again !

Now that reminds me of Ayn Rand's logic I read in one of her book. I do not remember the exact line but the sense was "Every act is a selfish act". Fits in well here. Why would you love me if I cannot make you happy or satisfy all the "conditions". So hope you agree by now, there is nothing called unconditional love. But then the point is , are you clear abt what are those conditions you are looking for in your soulmate and are you able to let the saamne wala person know what those are. Well you have to (be clear and be expressive) or its not gonna work out as smooth. And ya, what could you do if the conditions you laid down start changing when everything is just perfect. Well, I have no clue , let me know if you know how to tackle the situation.

Values: Neone has one ?

Long time since i blogged last...all this MBA interview crap kept me tied up but turned out that twas a good exercise ..especially the SPjain interview which made me do some extra thinking.

So here is the story: The question was: What do you value the most. (SP Jain actually gives you many such questions you would never think about otherwise) I really could not find anything and I tried to answer it the opposite way, tried to answer - What do I detest the most and the answer was : Hypocrisy. There have been quite a few incidences when I hated the people for trying to prove what they knew was not correct. One was at office when a junior tried convincing me that hes been trying hard to learn everything , when everybody knew he never put any effort. The second and the latest was in personal life and I never had the slightest idea , ppl so close to you could do something so stupid like this.

Neway, so I went on to write the answer to the original question.- What do I value the most . Its strength of convictions. Sounds like an appealing answer , at least to an interviewer. But then is that really true. If I value my convictions the most, why do I smile while talking to my boss when I actually want to yell at him. Why am I good with all the ppl I bitch about (my gang of girls might be able to throw more light on this ;)) Does that really mean I am valueless. I would not like to believe it...Theres got to be something I truly value...Please help me find a justification for the above actions of mine coz I do not want to die valueless..
