The Sorting Hat Speaks Again

It's been a while since I've spoken now,
My verse may be a little rusty.
I think I need to clear cobwebs,
My mind feels old and musty.

I wanted a change from Hogwarts,
I wanted something fresh and new.
Hence, I came to SP Jain,
Where the trees sparkle with dew.

My job profile remained the same,
I had to sort and sift.
And when I saw the students here,
I must say it gave me a lift

For I saw lots of talent,
Come from far and wide.
The group interview selection process,
Was really a fun-filled joyride.

So let's get down to the job at hand,
Let's begin the sorting process.
You're in safe hands (though I have none),
Don't worry, I won't make a mess.

Let me first take up Operations,
Which is used to conditions smooth and rough.
The diligent, earnest people here,
I give to lovable Hufflepuff.

For they are used to sweat and toil,
Most (if not all) have work-ex.
The intensity with which they can work,
Might leave others as nervous wrecks.

Next come the brainy ones,
Information Management is their choice.
Above the hubbub of lesser informed ones,
Rises their intelligent voice.

For they can see reason where others can't,
They can weigh the pros and cons.
To Ravenclaw, I give these geniuses,
Over whom many, in the future, will fawn.

Now I call upon the dauntless ones,
Who will have to brave many a fierce storm.
For they have chosen the world of Finance,
Where things have no fixed form.

They have to deal with market highs and lows,
And bulls transforming into bears.
To Gryffindor I give these souls,
Who have the strength to conquer their fears.

And then we have the clever ones,
Who have the gift of gab.
They can send you on a trip to hell,
And make it sound real fab.

Impressive they certainly are,
They know what they want for sure.
The Marketing people belong to Slytherin,
They have a certain mystic allure.

That's it, that's all, I think I'm done,
I shall now go get some sleep.
I happily leave you to your thoughts,Your musings, wondrous and deep.
