This has got to be the most interesting thread I've ever read on Quora yet, and I am inclined to answer, given my very recent (month old) experience of purchasing a vehicle in the Puget sound area.I would not classify myself as rich, as per the QP's question, but I'd say I'm in the well to do segment :)I was in the market for a Crossover/ SUV as I have a young family, and the vehicle has to be easy enough for my wife to drive as well (Given a boys toys option, I would head either for a Toyota Land Cruiser with the monster v8, or an Audi Q7 :-) ), so I went shopping along with my friends’ with a list that comprised of the following: Toyota (Highlander/ 4 Runner), Mazda (CX-9), Nissan (Murano/ Pathfinder) and Audi (Q3/ Q5), and I can totally relate to the experiences given by others below.My usual dress code is denims, t-shirts and sneakers; and I first walked into the Toyota of Bellevue dealership and I have nothing but high praise to say for the sales staff. Great experience, test drives offered, etc, but their refusal to give a comparison between a lease vs an outright purchase was the only thing that put me off.Next stop was University Mazda, and again great people, fantastic experience there, have a test drive, answered all questions fantastic price point, but the only reason I didn't go for it was the CX-9 is MASSIVE! Too large for my wife to drive.The stop after this was University Audi, and the sales chap Jon Pollock was again a great person to work with, but the overall feedback about Audi’s from friends and colleagues, plus research was what put me off purchasing it.My most memorable (& deplorable) sales experience was at Nissan of Lynnwood. The Sales guy was keen to get my business, but his Sales Manager is an absolute and total loser, and the overall treatment there was horrible beyond comparison. I was refused a test drive because I don't have local vehicle insurance (lolwut? How am I supposed to get vehicle insurance as a recently relocated international expat, who has been in country for less than 2 weeks?), and because I didn’t have a US license then, I can only go on the test drive as a passenger, not drive myself! Plus 10 other documents I had to sign as indemnity etc even as a passenger. Sub-optimal experience to say the least. And after all this, they refused to even provide a quote for the vehicle.Long story short, my friend ended up test driving the Murano, and it turned out to be amongst the better options we had seen, inline with the Mazda CX-9. When asked for a quote, and if they have any specials running, we were stonewalled for any answers, and told to come back when we have local insurance, local drivers license, and then only can they provide us with details and quotes, as this is inline with NISSAN USA guidelines! (what?!)Absolutely disappointed, I went to other Nissan dealers in Renton and Bellevue, and got everything I asked for, including test drives, explanations around lease/ purchase options, vehicle options including add-ons, etc., and then it all came down to comparing cost/ features/ driveability between the Nissan and Mazda. When i called the Lynnwood Nissan dealership to provide feedback about the sub-optimal sales/ customer experience I was doled out, I was told that I didn't seem like their target customer profile based on my dress code, and hence not worth the effort. Well then, thank you gentlemen, I'm more than happy to take my business elsewhere!If you want more bang for your buck, the Nissan Murano wins hands down | If you are looking at insane levels of reliability, the Mazda CX-9 is what would gun for you)I ended up going for the Murano because of the driveability, cost and proximity of the dealerships to my place of work/ home. I walked into the Bellevue Nissan dealership, asked for a price, got it, signed the documentation and got my vehicle right there. They were more than happy to accommodate my requests, and absolutely 1000% more professional than the guys at Lynnwood Nissan.Here's a few pictures of our new rideBottom line is, perception driven sales is an absolute sucky thing to be subject to, and to think this would happen at a dealership, that was recommended by a friend since he bought his vehicle from there would dole out such a pathetic experience, even to an existing customer of theirs.

MY ADVICE TO SSB ASPIRANTS :-“Be Natural, be positive and be a team player”Be positive throughout the selection process.Be a regular reader of the newspaper and don’t miss even the minutest details.Thus,get yourself acquainted with the Current Affairs.Practice Psych Tests well before, because these tests are done under a very strict time constraint, thus practicing for them in advance will help you a lot in managing the time there.Also practice speaking in English, it is very important that you are fluent enough in English to converse with the Interviewer and speak in GD and Lecturette.Be honest while filling out PIQ form. Don’t brag about things you never did.Try to take initiative whenever possible.Your personality should reflect that you are an assertive person, right from your answers in psych tests to your personality and behaviour in GT and Interview.Being friendly with your group is very important, since there are many tasks which you have to do as a group and where it counts whether or not your group likes you. Be friendly and non-judgemental towards others.Your personality as depicted by the Psychologist, the GTO and what you tell about yourself to the IO should be consistent. Thus, any mismatch may mean rejection. So, be what you are.If you have any weakness or negative point, don’t hesitate to mention it. And don’t ever try to fake during the SSB, the selection process is so exhaustive that they’ll surely dig the real YOU out.Enjoy the process and Hope for the best!!If you have it in you then you’ll certainly make it.“There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...”BEST OF LUCK!

Nothing to worry about it. It also happened with many of my batchmates. Just contact your faculty. Sometimes Gtu gives time to fill PMMS deatils even after Completion of Project Viva.

** Warning - gory picture alert - bloody picture ahead **Surviving motorcycle riding is about spending thousands of hours of seat time learning how to ride. Thousands.Why?The goal is to take your riding from a conscious activity, to an unconscious one. You practice correct body position, weight transfer, and most importantly correct head placement, until something which you have to consciously practice every time becomes habit. That is, drill yourself over and over to look where you want to go. All the time. Every time.1000cc Super sports won’t kill you. They won’t cause you to burst into flames, or lose control, or spontaneously combust. They will however, not forgive you. They won’t forgive lapses of judgment or concentration. They won’t forgive poor body placement. They will not forgive you when you have stiff arms, and stiff inputs into the throttle when leaned over in a corner. Jerky stiff-arm throttle inputs will high-side you with little warning.I’ve owned a few R1’s, and I’ve had (as John McGuinness says) ‘ass puckering’ moments. A few tank-slappers, emergency stoppies, and a quick-as-lightning almost-high-side. I was riding fast on the road, I’d finished a corner, was straightening up, enthusiastically rolled the throttle and next thing, the rear end spun, stepped out right then snapped back - I found myself popped up, off the seat, over the front of the bike, staring down at the road. My legs were up in the air, my hands still gripping the handlebars, and I was leaned right over the windscreen. I managed to pull myself back and get my body back in the seat, but if the highside attempt had happened 30m earlier I would have run right off the road into some trees and probably been killed. I was going fast.This was only last year, and I wasn’t riding as hard as I usually do through that area.The other thing which catches even reasonably experienced riders on liter bikes out is the unexpected bump-and-throttle-jerk. You’re cruising along, chilled out looking cool riding one handed. A bump you haven’t seen unsettles the bike, you jerk the throttle and BAM - bike launches forward, you grab the bars. Only, your wrist isn’t below the bar, as an experienced riders’ wrist should be, it’s above it. So, you’ve just wrenched the throttle of this 180hp monster wide open. And it obeys! It wheelies, you’re hanging on for dear life to a bloodthirsty beast which has instantly obeyed your throttle hand, you’ve slid off the seat and are hanging off a vertical bike. That vertical bike is now doing 30Mph faster and climbing! It goes past vertical and you faceplant on the “cheese grater” (the tarmac).I’ve seen it happen so many times on Youtube, and a few times in real life.As a rider who’s done well over 100,000 k’s on 1000cc SuperSports, when I’m riding one handed the thing holding me to the bike, is my legs gripping the tank. I’m wearing my leathers, and I’ve got Stompgrip tank pads to grip on. I’ve been gripping with my legs for so long, it’s automatic. My hand grip on the bars is loose, gentle, my arms are relaxed and my wrist is below the throttle. So if a jerk happens and I’m surprised by it, grabbing the throttle closes it! Quite often, I don’t even grab the throttle - I let the bars whip back and forth, the energy from the bump is dissipated, and then I grab the bars. My torso is relaxed, I’m hunched over. When the surprise bump hits, my legs tighten on the tank, but my torso, arms and hands remain relaxed and loose. My throttle hand is loose and gentle so when I grab the throttle, I roll it closed. The bike can buck and kick and the handlebars can whip about, and because I’m loose and let the bike kick around and get the bump out of its system, the bike’s geometry can do what it’s designed to and straighten up again.This sort of reflexive unconscious habit only happens when you’ve spent a LOT of time living in the seat, and you’ve trained and disciplined these habits into your unconscious mind. It also helps when you’ve explored the limits of much smaller, more forgiving bikes, and you’ve skilled up on those.And look - let’s be honest - when I’m riding one-handed being ‘cool’, I’m being a dick. I’m tempting fate. I should know better, but hey, we all do dumb things we shouldn’t. I deserve everything I get if something goes wrong, and just because I’m ‘experienced’ doesn’t mean that I somehow have magical exemption from things going wrong.There are a lot of riders I know who went from ‘learner legal’ 250’s straight to 1000’s. Compared to the guys who have milked every last drop out of 125s and 250s, they can’t ride for shit. Honestly, I’ve seen a 14yr old kid, come from racing 250’s, jump on a 1000cc bike he’s never ridden before and lap it faster than the fast old guys in my fast group. You learn the skills to ride fast on the small bikes.Me personally, I did the humiliating thing by spending the first 8 months of my road-riding life on a 150cc Chinese scooter.A few riders mocked me, but most of them gave me huge respect. I learned how to read traffic, people, and everything moving about on the road on that little scooter, and dropped it well over 20 times. I made a lot of mistakes on that thing, and learned a hell of a lot without it costing me much at all. BattleScoot(tm) had scars and scratches, dents and gouges all over it - it was held together with Gaff tape and cable ties - but it valiantly survived my epic stupidity. And so did I.I moved to a 2 stroke 125 road bikeand learned how to milk it for every last drop of its limits. I ground my footpegs down, I was leaning over so far. I learned how to adjust and service its suspension, so the bike would corner, brake, and handle safer. I learned how to maintain every last ounce of entry speed through corners because that little 125 only had 33hp.I then moved to Honda Bros 650 (Hawk GT 650 in the US) which, despite being 650cc, had very little actual power. My suspension guy, after I harassed him to recommend which bike to move to next, finally said “Fine! Get a Bros! Get a Bros, and let me sort the suspension”This is a Bros 650:And this is a review of it: Honda Hawk GT: Born Before Its Time - Motorcycle USAThat bike was the first bike I had a high-side on. Yeah, 189kg, 35hp (it was a Japanese import, and the Japanese motors had much less power than the US Hawk GT) and I high-sided it coming out of a petrol station jumping on the throttle. It was also the first bike I managed to get to 200kph on.I rode that for 5 years, learning every inch of it. My suspension guy did the forks and shock, and it handled like God. I humiliated almost everyone on 1000cc SuperSports in the twisties; no-one could keep up with me DOWN Macquarie pass. I ground its footpegs, and chicken strips? None. The Bros taught me how to throw a heavier bike around, and get really, really fast, with a small horsepower engine.This set the foundation for my move to a 2004 Honda CBR600RR.That bike was a huge leap up in power, but… a lot more difficult to handle! It required more muscle to make it corner, make it stay down in a corner, and muscle it around. The brakes were also savage, and I did a few stoppies by accident when I first got it.But! Because I had practiced for years on the Bros, I was able to dominate the CBR quickly, with confidence.The lessons I learned on the CBR, enabled me to handle my first R1. It was an ex-Irish road racing bike, a 2000 R1 with carb kit, Maxton suspension, and a full exhaust. It was wild. I attended the Isle of Man TT, and rode it hard over Isle of Man’s mountain course. That R1 taught me a LOT of lessons. I rode it from Ireland to Croatia and back through Europe for 5 months.I then moved to a Panigale 1199S, a 2012 R1, Buell 1125CR, and now I’ve got a 2001 R1, and right now, I’m trying to decide between a 2017 Panigale 1299S, or the R1M.During that time, I also owned KTM dirtbikes - a 250SX 2 stroke, and now a 525EXC 4 stroke. I’ve spent a LOT of time on dirt bikes, which helps immensely with riding on the road.So, as you can see, I’ve spent a lot of time and effort learning the most I can out of each new step up. I can jump on any 1000cc bike now, and ride seriously fast. I’m not the fastest rider in my group by any means, but, I’m in the fastest group.I’ve also spent a lot of time on the race track getting coaching and guidance. A lot of poor habits have been fixed thanks to both paid and unpaid coaching and mentoring. I can’t express how many times my life has been saved, or accidents avoided, by making a habit out of their advice.So, in summary, you can most definitely jump straight on a 1000cc bike and, with great caution, learn how to ride it accident-free. With a lot of hard work and effort, you can surmount the huge learning curve that is the wild, monstrous, heavy 1000cc Supersport and become a good rider. It’s totally doable.However, if you want to do this, do it on the track. *When* you make mistakes, and the 1000cc kicks you off, you’ll slide safely off the track and receive immediate medical attention. You will have people around you who can tell you what you did wrong, and you can live to climb back on and ride again.If you want to do your learning on the road, well - are you sure you’re ready for the unforgiving nature of your 1000cc teacher? There is no forgiveness. When you get kicked off, will you hit a guard rail, and snap your spine? (Brett) Will you grab a bit too much throttle and flip your bike? (Scott). Will you freak out entering a corner, because you’re muscling your bike down and it’s resisting you and bucking through the handlebars, target fix on a car and ride right into it? (Angelo). Or, will you realise you’re going too hot into a corner, grab a fistful of brake and lose the front end, running wide? (Tiffany).I can rattle off a lot more names, some who didn’t survive their mistakes. It’s your choice, ego, or wisdom. With Wisdom, there is life. When your spine is snapped, and you’re in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, ego doesn’t seem such a good choice.Edit:I forgot to answer your question about the latest electronic aids. Having taken several of this years new bikes for test rides, the electronics are awesome. Hilariously awesome. ABS, traction control, wheelie control, lean-angle sensing ABS, all that stuff - it’s amazing. It really is. It fills in so many skill gaps that, it really mitigates a lot of the unforgiving nature of the thousands. These aids can make all kinds of novices go and stop, fast.There is almost no downside to these aids that I have been able to figure out. Sure, as a new rider you will absolutely depend on them. When I moved back from my 2012 R1 to my old 2001, I had a real shock. I had no idea how dependent on traction control I’d become! How blasé about mashing the throttle, and hanging the rear end out I’d become. I got on my 2001, and started scaring myself a bit.So, the aids can definitely make you lazy and complacent. They allow you to let your discipline and skills lapse. They can also make you contemptuous of the risks the road offers. You don’t realise how much closer to the absolute limits of the bike you are riding at… you dive into a corner at much closer to the limits of the tyres and tarmac’s abilities, and the computer electro-magically fixes it.When something does go wrong though, where is your safety margin? There is none. You’ve used it all up. The electronics have masked all the warning signs you’d be getting on the way to the limit, until there’s absolutely nothing those aids, you, or anything else can do. And because you’re dependent on those aids, and you’re complacent, lazy, and shit, well… someone’s gonna get a-hurt, real bad.The other thing to take into account is, these are electronic aids. Electronics, well… fail. water, shock, vibration, dust, wear, whatever, there is always a chance they’ll malfunction. It might be a small chance, but, if you at least have learned the skills the ‘old fashioned’ way, if they fail, you got those skills to draw on.That’s my take anyway.

I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anuta’s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.” ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.

NTPCMy first maharatna PSU interview. While sitting outside the interview hall, I overheard people discussing that interviewers were asking random questions. Waited for my turn, while my patience was running out.Someone shouted, Himangshu Barman, come in!Me- (To 4 male interviewers, all in their late 40s/early 50s) Good Afternoon sirs, may I come in please?Interviewer 1- Come in Himangshu, have a seat.Me- Thank you sirI2- So your branch is mechanical, eh? Tell me about yourself.Me- Regular bla bla bla.I1- Tell me about your internship. Where you did and what you learnt.Me- Did internship in Indian Oil refinery, Guwahati, sir. Told basics of refining processes.I3– Ok, so there is a refinery in Bongaigaon, Assam. Which district is it in?Me- (Didn't know the correct answer, but responding confidently) Its in Bongaigaon district only sir!I3- Tell us the final products of Refinery.Me- Bla bla bla.I2 interrupts- You are missing out an important one! Try to remember it.Me- This was all I knew sir.I2- Its bla bla. (Never heard of it before, forgot its name within a week). Ok now tell me the flash point of petrol.Me- Around bla sir.I2- Viscosity index of diesel?Me- Don't know sir.I3- What did you learn in internship? Not quite satisfactory. If you get to join NTPC, I hope you'll pay attention during training classes!Interview duration was around 10 minutes.Result-Selected.IOCLAfter GD and GI rounds, I remember waiting outside the interview hall and literally begging every candidate coming out of the hall to tell me some questions. How I regretted that day for not having revised my basics and literally wasting the past two months. NTPC results had not come yet, and I was quite sure I had blown my chance there. IOCL was my last chance at a Maharatna. I had to excel.Finally my name was called out.Me- May I come in?I1– Yes Himangshu. Please introduce yourself.Me- Bla bla. Bla bla bla. Told about internship in Indian Oil.I1– Are you ok? You look so nervous. Tell me about pump. Different types, about NPSH.ME- Told.I2– Which division of IOCL you would like to work in?Me- Marketing. Gave some crappy reason for itAt this point, I was blabbering anything coming to my mind.I1– Have a glass of water man, don't​ be so nervous.I3– Ok, you have a situation where you are the manager of a PSU, and the workers are on strike. How will you convince their leader?Me- Will bribe him or if not possible, call the police.I3– Man, you have some disturbing thoughts. Please don't ruin our company with your wild ideas! Laughs.I2– Why don't you join OIL. Its in your home state right? I've heard promotions are easy there. Why joining IOCL?Me- Gave some dumb reason, on the lines of IOCL being a Maharatna company.I1– Are you willing to be posted anywhere in India?Me- Yes sir.I2– Ok draw some characteristic curves of pumps.Me- Was prepared for this question. Showed some rough diagramsI1– Himangshu, you have answered all the questions correctly, but with zero confidence. Try to improve on that. Anyways, do you have any questions? If not, you may leave now.Me- No questions sir. Thank you.Interview duration was around 30 minutes.Result- Selected.

“I WANT TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE FLAGS WITH A PLUS SIGN ON MY CHEST NUMBER AND SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT ON MY FACE” this is what I used to tell my sister. And on 8th Aug 2018 this dream came true when I was standing in front of the flags inside the candidates lines of 11SSB Allahabad.Rejection center they said, but I always wanted to get selected from this rejection center. Big smile came across when I received the call letter for my IMA-146 SSB at Allahabad. Being previously recommended for Navy but medically unfit for Navy(Apr 2016) I had good amount of pressure this time.So we reported there on 3rdAug 2018 at the center and after all the documentation we rested in the candidates lines. On the next day, testing started. I did all the questions from OIRT. In PP&DT I wrote a story and gave a good narration. GD started but as always fish market got created. Kept my calm and tried giving points in the GD. Got screened in. Out of 69 candidates reported, 26 got screened in. I was chest number 16 now.On day 2 the psychology testing started. I finished my 12 TAT stories, missed few words in WAT. I solved 51 SRTs and wrote the complete SD.Now comes the time of GTO. Started with GD in which I couldn’t speak that much as I did not have a good hold of the topic which was given to us. I spoke well in the second GD.After that in GPE we were given the tasks which we successfully solved by making a good plan. Everyone contributed in the GPE and it was a good discussion. By the time of Group Obstacle Race(GOR) I was feeling very hungry. But when the GOR started my hunger for food vanished away. By shouting our war cry we were ferociously completing the tasks. Just then our energy level went down and all of us stopped shouting our war cry. Suddenly some ghost came into my body and all of sudden I shouted the war cry while looking at our group VANDE!!!! Then everyone responded MATARAM! Now everyone was pumped up again and we did all the tasks successfully.Then we completed our subsequent GTO tasks. I gave fair number of ideas in PGT,HGT,FGT.Then we completed our Individual Obstacles, I did 12. Command task was good. It was based on disposing a bomb. I did it successfully through 3 approaches.Then came my interview. All sort of personal questions were asked including family,friends,teachers,myself. In between these questions a question was asked for which I was waiting since many days and that wasIO: “which regiment would you like to join?”Me: GORKHA!IO: Why?Me: I am very much impressed by their war cry i.e. “JAI MAHAKALI, AAYO GORKHALI!”He asked several questions and interview went on for around 40 mins.Now came the conference. One thought which was coming into my mind a day before conference “This one day can change anyone’s life!”Dressed nicely we all went to the waiting room, waiting for our turns.Conference started and 24 candidate’s conference was over. Now the candidate before me has got out of the conference room. I was eagerly waiting to go in. I was singing songs meanwhile. After waiting for around 10-15 mins chest number 16 flashed on the screen. I stood up and went to the hall heads up!I was thrilled by watching so many officers together interacting with me.I was asked SRT.Suppose you are going to give an exam, you are at railway station,your train is about to leave in 20mins and then you realized that you have forgotten all your items including admit card, ticket, wallet, mobile, everything at home. What will you do?I answered it but he kept on asking me further questions by increasing the difficulty level. Keeping my calm I answered them all and came out.Now came the result time! After the same formalities of motivating everyone in the batch, the officer announced the result.I will announce the chest number, you’ll shout your name, roll number and come and stand at my right side. Without creating even a little bit of suspense he said “CHEST NUMBER 16!”. In excitement I forgot my roll number but somehow I told him my name and roll no. the officer congratulated me by shaking hands.Yes, this was my dream picture which I was talking about.(Coincidentally the chest number given to me had already “gorkha logo” drawn on it)All my fellow candidates congratulated me and hugged me. I was happy for my achievement and sad that I was the only one who got recommended because there were many good candidates in my batch. We had a lots of fun in the candidates lines. I am sure by reading this line few of them would have got what I mean by “fun” here. ;)After the medicals I am declared medically fit. Now waiting to join the Indian Military Academy.What I experienced the main factor for getting recommended is common sense.If your behavior at candidate lines = testing ground = home then you will sail through.What we try to do at SSB is to show ourselves better, but that is not required.“bhai mai to aisa hi hu..tumne lena h to le lo..nhi to jane do..”
