I am a 24-year-old girl and still haven't found the way to walk in.I am an engineering graduate and people ask me to do a master's in engineering (as I was good in studies) but I am not interested in engineering subjects now.I was the topper in my school and also did well in college (I did my matrics, intermediate and graduation with Honors). But now I have nothing to do with my life.My parents want me to get married as soon as possible but I am afraid of marriage because I want to succeed first.I feel depressed sometimes because I have no reason to tell my parents not to get married because they already lost all hopes on me.I have to face many taunts in a day for not getting ready for marriage.I try to make myself happy by following my hobbies like reading novels, writing, singing 💓.I don't have many reasons to make myself happy and positive but the things which make me happy are only my hobbies. By doing those things, I try to stay positive and focus on my goals 😊.—Lesson 1:- Success is not dependent on marks you get in school and college.Lesson 2:- Teach your kids to be independent first, otherwise they will never be happy and satisfied with their life.Lesson 3:- Get your son/daughter married when they actually want it. Don't force them to do that.Thanks for reading 💓Edit1:- thank you so much to every person who gave me so much strength with their good words🌸Edit2:- for the people who ask me why this picture, I was introducing myself so I put my picture. Also, I am not a sad sad type of person (as many relationships that situation with that picture), I am an enthusiastic person, always smiling.😊

This is what my eighth and final interview round with Microsoft was like. It was with the GPM who would be my hiring manager.Interviewer: So Rohan, it looks like you’ve had a long day. Come on in and have a seat. Would you like some water or a soda?Me: Thanks. Yes it has been a long day but it has been so much fun that I didn’t realize how time flew. I especially enjoyed my last interview round with XYZ. And yes, I’d actually love some water.Interviewer: That’s nice to hear. So, tell me a little about you. Tell me something I don’t already know.Me: Well I’m sure you’ve already seen my resume and heard all the feedback so I don’t want to talk about technical stuff. I bet you didn’t know that I can identify over 10,000 species of birds by sight and more than 1,000 by sound.Interviewer: Well that’s a first. Looks like you’re a serious bird watcher then. My uncle and my son both enjoy the birds here in the Pacific Northwest. Tell me more. This sounds interesting.Me: I started birding when I was 6 years old. I saw a Peregrine falcon stoop (that means dive) into a valley and kill a pigeon in mid-air. I’ve been fascinated ever since. I’ve photographed hundreds of species and contributed those photos to various books, schools, colleges and galleries. Photography is secondary though. Primarily I love to watch and observe them. My wife has now developed a very keen sight for them too so we make a good team. That’s what we do most weekends and the Pacific Northwest is a great place to bird.Interviewer: Do you know about the Snow Geese we see here in the winter. I had read a poem as a child that always stuck. <Starts reciting the poem>Me: Wow! That’s a really nice poem. I had not heard it before. I actually am very familiar with the Snow Geese we see here in the winter. They are the harbinger of winter winds. Similarly we had a really beautiful bird back in the western ghats in India called the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher whose arrival was the most sure-shot indicator of the approaching monsoon. Bird migration is extremely fascinating and I could talk about it for hours on end.Interviewer: This is really captivating. I’ve never met anyone with this much passion about their hobby. Are you also this passionate about tech?Me: Maybe just a tad less than I am about birds. Haha. But yes, I do genuinely love tech and it’s an integral part of my life; right after birds that is.Interviewer: Haha… Well let’s dive into some design problems then.She then asked me some system design and architecture problems which we solved on the whiteboard together for the next 45 minutes. We finally ended it with big smiles on our faces feeling recharged and energized.What is the best way to describe yourself in an interview?Be genuine. Be honest. Tell them why you are an interesting person. Don’t just repeat what is on your resume. They have already read it. Don’t tell them a checklist of your skills. Tell them a good story about yourself. The interviewer, especially the hiring manager, is looking for someone who will be a good fit on his/her team. If you come across as an interesting candidate in the first five minutes, you will have their undivided attention for the rest of the time.Everyone likes a certain human element to come through. Every interviewer is looking for someone they can work well with. Technical skills can be taught. If you have certain areas that you are not very strong at, be upfront about it but always demonstrate a willingness to learn. Most importantly, make sure you give them a reason to remember you; to ensure that you stand out from the crowd.TL;DR: Make your “About Me” memorable.In case we haven’t met before, I’m Rohan Kamath.Thank you for reading. I hope I could help you smile today. :)

When I was born my parents named me Alexandra.Alexandra Zapata.A few hours after the moment of my birth a friend of my mom's visited her at the hospital."Dushka" she said, snuggling me. It's a term of endearment - it means my little soul.From that moment on, no one - not my parents, not my siblings, not my friends, not my work colleagues- has ever called me anything other than Dushka.Dushka is the name on my business card and on my book covers.It's the name I respond to when someone hollers from across the room and the name I use when I sign something.It's the name Boyfriend uses when he whispers that he loves me (and when he shakes his head at me in exasperation.)I cannot produce official ID with the name Dushka on it.Quora Moderation knows Dushka is “the name I go by in life”. I'm using my real identity and as such am compliant with policy.
