Awesome! “@s_shashank_s: My day walking in Calcutta http://t.co/9cupxTQG @gonsalves_r”
@vikramadhiman Absolutely! However it also depends on which colleges you go around. Many lack basic soft-skills.
@vikramadhiman Haven’t interviewed them though.
@vikramadhiman Have spent a lot of time with students. Most who want a job rely on campus placements. Maybe their best wasn’t good enough.
vikramadhiman Reading cool resumes is a perk of doing campus at smaller colleges :) Achievement column : Mr. Handsome. Roadies finalist. Nothing as yet.
@vikramadhiman Disagree.
gonsalves_r Bullshit http://t.co/07ws81sx

@gursartaj Ouch! Didn’t catch the sarcasm. :)
@gursartaj Don’t Agree. And waise “pays well” is also subjective.
@lokallobaat The phuchkas were awesome!! What gastronomic pleasures!! #ccu @erm_wat @rungta
@TimesofBullshit Which is the Chinese place at Kolkata that you mentioned on the laughter night? (Tangra?)
While editing @bellycentric video http://t.co/u0BQfEfG, the *only* _bakwaas_ (ft. @lokallobaat, at 1:12) we removed is http://t.co/ZiTaefuk.
@gursartaj Firstly ‘good’ in “good job” is subjective. Secondly, shouldn’t take up a career path on those thoughts in the first place.
@gursartaj That’s her fallback.
Dejected to learn that a cousin of mine is pursuing IT engg (now in 2nd yr) cause, in her words,”this is the easiest way to get a good job”.
So many times I have visited this city, know so much about it and yet I feel weird paying Rs 7 for a significant cycle rickshaw ride. #ccu

@rashmiswamy Ok, Google says “Kashmir of South India” — Munnar, and “Scotland of South India” — Coorg. #justsaying @lokallobaat
@rashmiswamy I hope you are not mistaking Karwar for Coorg. Cause I faintly remember to have heard similar things for Coorg. @lokallobaat
@lokallobaat I didn’t. I said #youprefer Goa vs Karwar for #winterretreat. @rashmiswamy
@rashmiswamy Is it? Haven’t been to Kashmir, but Karwar isn’t that impressive. Been there en route to Goa. @lokallobaat
@lokallobaat Karwar is 2 hours by road from Goa. #youprefer

@banerjeerupak There have been quite a few tweets using this new hashtag — http://t.co/RpLMRbzY
@banerjeerupak That was misspelt. :(

“(Referring to food) Ya”
“Will find you someone *just like her*”
