The heat is on in India even thouigh the summers are supposedly coming to an end .

For B-school interns though, the 'summers' are actually nearing its end, and dif ferent people have different takes on it, depending mostly on their institute. E xclaims, VSDEF Venkat from a well known institute of management only in western India, " I am not sure if I should be happy to inside those AC classrooms puttin g pointless CP or out there slogging in the heat". An intern with an FMCG major after a slew of 90s throughout his academic life wasn't so funny as he had earli er surmised. Another intern, this time from a little known institute from southern India can' t wait to get his job done and get back to campus. Angrily gesturing when asked why he could not land a Day 0, 8:30 and instead had to settle for a beverages co mpany talking to angry distributors, "The sex ratio took my case. In Finals, I h ave my GPA. Its revenge time. Main padunga, likhunga aur bada hokar investment b anker banoonga" Most importantly, there's a slew of interns who have suddenly realised that thei r free-riding days have come to an end, and without a workaholic in a group proj ect like in campus, they'd actually have to type out a mindless boring report, w hich would neccessitate some data, which would neccessitate an online survey - t he quickfix to freeriding interns since time immemorial. Which explains the 69 million survey requests I have on GTalk, Facebook and even WhatsApp. What do you do except for make a survey of those surveys ! After a lo t of research I have come up with the following findings. If you find them usefu l and benefit from it, please do not make a donation in my name, as it would onl y serve me to doubt you, the heartless cynic that I am. Here goes the three tricks that will ensure you get the maximum entries out of y our surveys. Survey Lesson 1. Do NOT, for the love of God (or whatever, you deem holy, or Rick Santorum, if yo u're a fat Jew) put ALL your questions in one page. Thats the equivalent of decl aring your foreign assets before running for elections in India, aka, a irreprie veable mistake. The number of questions featuring on successive pages should increase like in a Fibonacci Series (1,1,2,3,5...). Its a classic trick where the user cant quit th inking they've completed the greater part while you actually face a bigger barra ge ahead. Survey Lesson 2 Put a CAPTCHA at the beginning. Great timepass, entails a sign of authencity fo r users, and your manager would be proud that you haven't designed a bot to fill up your surveys, while you complete reading the frontpage of 9gag. And yes, you r boss has automatically assumed that you have an IT services background and can program a bot. Survey Lesson 3 (And the most important of them all) Don't thank the guy after he's done your survey. Whenever I see a "Thank you for your time", it really pisses me off because instead of playing the synthesizer on the Google Doodle or finding people to ticking my opinions on how baby diaper s can make the maximum impact on my daily life
