Its a good question. Why HR???
have you (i mean the HR folks) have ever thought why this kind of a question is probed only to we HR guys.
why doesnt some one ask, for that matter in an interview as to why have you chosen for IT specialization? why are you an accountant?
what am trying to put across is, this question is probed just to see one's presence of mind. .........HR is basically to do with people interaction. so proving your people handling skill begins right from this point of answering this question !!!
if you can handle that person whose questioning you, you already have convinced him 90%.
specifics to the point.."why HR"....
a) its to do with one's flare for the subject.
b) one of the functionalities of any facilities or admin department in any company is about "Maitenance"....of anything!!!
likewise resources (people) too need attention. hr is for resource maintenance (i dont mean maintenance in literal terms here).
everything is automated, atleast somewhere some point there has to be a human touch. thats where HR pictches in. it palys a mojor role as a "liaison" b/w your top guys and the resources.
i just thought would share these points (particulary after reading thru the conversations b/w you and jeevan).....no offence...just kidding!!!.....but believe me i did laugh a lot !!! sorry !!!
let me know your thoughts !!!

Hey Dheeraj,
Try to understand. If you don't want to understand the role of HR, then you can accept all the general belief and go along with the crowd.
