"HIP, HIP, HURRAY!"

               
                      Its been a long time since my last post...  Everyone have their own dreams of getting placed in a good company.... And that dream came true in my life 2weeks before as I got placed in CTS..... I just like to share what happened on that memorable day......

                    After the written test we were waiting for the results with our fingers crossed. I just can't contol my pressures so I went home. My friend Vetri is the one texting me as they announcing the names. First ten panels got over and I said to my mom," still 30 more panels ma don worry". Vetri texted, 20 panels n still not. n I said, " machi, innum 20panels da.... 200membersla surea vanthrum da...." And , again vetri texted 30 panels n still not... BUTTERFLIES STARTED FLYING IN MY STOMACH. 31,32,33 n still no. And I politely said to my mom don worry ma "lets c wipro". 34 n not. Myself n Vetri were completely desparate. I just shaking my head n leaned on to the sofa.... My phone rings.... n its vetri......"dei..... ur name came in 36the panel... uh..... I relieved a lot. The most interestimg part is myself,sivaram,satheesh,vetri n vishal are on the same panel " We were jumping like anything n getting ready for the next day interview.

                  A Guy, who attended the interview before me told its a HR ....So,we thought we can eaily get through..it.... n I'm the first one to go in our set... Before that, for the first time in my life I heard some serious instructions from my frnds.... 1st to go is Vetri.." Speak with confidence da... if its tech then try to convert the part into HR". 2nd to go is Vishal "dei...speak loud... n never lose ur pitch..whether ur answer is right or wrong". And finally,our don satheesh told.."ALL THE BEST, machi". I had a final look at my friends n enter the hall.

                  First 2mins usual intro n he glanced at my datasheet. He surprised n ask 95% in XIIth, 8.37cgpa... I said yes sir, n added I secured school first in Xth sir, with a smile. Don't know what happend to him he just said "Oh,, ok...lets c...like a challenge.." . Your area is DBMS n OS. Immediately  I started recollecting the important questions from that. But surprisingly he asked questions from the hectic software engineering.

          He started with,1.whats s/w engineering? 2.SDLC? 3.Models of SDLC? 4.Steps in waterfall model?5.Testing? 6.Types of testing? 

                   I felt very uneasy with that damn S/W engi ques n tried to change his mind by saying,"My hobbies are blogging n cricket sir. Recently, I posted about " The power of no" (Actually. its one of my class mate's blog n I memorize that post like a strategy to impress the HR. And it was really worth for it. B'coz that post has that much sense n I should really thank her a lot). And started saying," Everyone in this world thinks "YES" is the optimistic word n "NO" is the pessimistic word.. but I would say "NO" is a optimistic word n its more powerful than "YES". Then, the HR have a strange look at me n asked, "HOW WOULD YOU SAY THAT?"  I thought I got the bigfish n started speaking what I memorized( if u want to c that post then visit this link.."THE POWER OF NO"). After that he told, "oh...nice..n interesting...".

                   But, all my strategy went wrong in that case. He started to ask technical from where he left... I just said myself ,"SEMA BUN DA"...  

             He started, 7.Black-box testing? 8.White-box testing? 9.bottom-up?10Top-down approach? 11.normalisation n types? 12.Transitive dependency?. The most surprising part is that I answered all the questions correctly. And my interview session got over.

           I went to my home n same as written vetri texted whats happening der.....he told,"dei department wise announcing da". I went to the rest-room with my mobile... I felt my heart-beat  was raised to 150 per minute. Suddenly, My Phone rings... It was vetri.... " dei.... we all got placed da.... most of our boys got placed da" At that time,I just shouted n screamed  like anything.... I just lifted my mom n made a swirl.... Everyone felt very happy in my family.......  I just enjoyed every moment in that Sleepless night.....

             Now, we are chatting..... "apadi namma ena kilichomnu RS.25,000 salary tharanga da......."

"EXAMS CAN NEVER RULE US"

                         Here I just want to tell how I spent last three days.Exams were going on those three days.Exam days are the most unforgettable days in our college life because we usually remember the sad things happened to us more than the days we enjoyed. It was very difficult when we had one exam a day, now we have two per day so our condition becomes very worse.

                         Before exam starts we don't care about anything in the class, lectures, advice, etc... rather we used to enjoy every moment in the college.Even, when they announced the exam date also we don't take that much serious.But,suddenly our whole life style changes the day before the first exam.Day scholars begin to stay in the hostel for group studies.Some, wont took bath and some not even brush as they saving that time to study."We begin to set alarm to get up early.We usually spent more than an hour to search  for the text books which we threw away when last exams got over.And for the first time in our life we call our friends for asking doubts in the subjects".

                         Most of us don't  know the portions and some don't even know which exam is the next.And its very hard for us to cover syllabus over night.So, we will ask our friends to teach us.Those exam days will create a huge demand for the rank-holders as like they are the god to save us. We beg them to teach us. And some get promise from those "brain-boxes". And some make reservation even two days before to ensure that they will teach them that time.

                        Day scholars condition is more worse.No one will be there to help them. When we set our mind to study and open our book we had a strong doubt whether that question is in the syllabus or not. So, we text our friends and mark the syllabus first.Even though, we are fresh at the beginning we feel sleepy at the end of  first page.We will see the clock hits  "11" when we finished 5pages.When we see the pages yet to cover, fear enters into our heart.So, we call our friend to hear whether he had studied. The moment he/she replied  "I didn't open the book at all",we will feel that much relaxed and happy and tap our own shoulders for covering at least those 5pages.

                       30minutes before the exam are the most crucial part and the deciding factor of our result. We will study as if we are going to get the gold-medal. All the staffs will be jaw-open, when they see the back-benchers studying with two books.We don't even consider the bell rang for the exam and we keep on reading. Then we take a last look at our friends and enter into the exam hall like a soldier into the battle-field.

                      Once, we had a glance at the questions there will be no words to describe that awkward situation.All the questions that we left as unimportant will be there.We all think about the guy who set the question- paper and use some dirty words to scold them inside.We spend the first 45minutes in the exam hall by chatting with the juniors sitting side to us, looking at the lady supervisors, dreaming about how we studied last night, etc... Then we look our  friends sitting back,they show a failure sign about the exam that make us to feel comfortable and make a little smile.

                     Once, we got out from the exam hall, we will see many drooping faces but we are very much relieved.How hard the exams may be, We will be perplexed only at the exam hall but once the exams got over we started our usual routine of teasing, not caring of anything, enjoying the life to the core. No one can change those habits from us.However, the Hod's and teachers advised us on seeing our performance in the exams we will never put that in our ears because its our college life and we keep on enjoying every moment of our life until the next exam starts.......

"THE PERSON I ADMIRE THE MOST"

                       This was the topic I like to speak in our "Infosys campus connect program" but unfortunately it was not accomplished there.And I take this opportunity to tell about that.

                       The person I admire the most, was not a famous film star or sportsman or a politician. Rather, he is one of our classmates. He is always cool,calm and like to learn new things. And he is none other than my friend Rajkumar. We used to call him as Raj.

                        During our first year myself, Raj were the batch mates and we used to sit together.We enjoyed a lot there.One day our english mam asked us to take seminars. As it was the first time for all of us, we were nervous. It was my turn and Somehow  I managed by making some funs in my seminar and escaped. As Raj was from tamil medium he was not so good in english at that time. So, he struggled a lot but he didn't gave up to finish that seminar.

                  In my second year, didnt know what happened to Raj, he changed his place and like to sit with Roshan. Roshan, was a malayali who don't know tamil but was too good in english and so he want to sit with him. It was good to hear that, "so we said,its well and good".But, I thought how it would be possible.We saw Raj always used to speak in simple english with Roshan and we saw him committing lot of mistakes. But, he continued to speak in that format without considering those mistakes.He never gave up by others mocking when they called him like "english peter" etc..After that he changed a lot.The first thing I noticed was that he begun to read english magazines and newspapers.
     
                  One day when I was in his room, I wondered to saw him hearing english songs and he also sang that hard lyrics impeccably. When I checked out his laptop, There were only english movies particularly romance movies(don't know why).When I asked about tamil movies he said, its totally waste, same centiment, same story, waste of time.... At that time I just nod my head to whatever he said  and never spoke a word in return...(but actually, why I went there was to get some tamil movies)      

                 During our third year  we went to "mysore Infosys as an IV to attend the SPARK program".After that program when they asked to us give feedback the guys who always used to speak went first. And atlast I saw a rising hand behind me. I was surprised to see Raj rising his hand, b'coz it was not our class, its the infosys and there were more than 100students. When he delivered his speech, it was like a miracle. Really, his feedback was the best among all  and he spoke with flawless language. While others gave the positive comment about the program, he had the guts to express his negative comments. And he got a loud round of applause from all of us.

                 While some of us wasted the opportunities that comes in our way, Raj created his own opportunities and make well use of it. I saw a burning fire on him.I saw him as a person who keep on improving for the last 4 years. And now, no one can say that  he was the Raj I met 4years before.B'coz, now  he was the man of confidence who can speak english fluently."Everyday, he was one inch better than the previous day". It surprised all of us a lot to see how well he was improved.And I am very glad to see my friend improving in his life.

                                                                "KEEP GOING RAJ"

"RAKSHA BANDHAN"

                           I have never seen FINAL-CSE-"B", like this before...It was like a festival day in our class...... yup, its the "RAKSHA BANDHAN", where many of our class girls tied that rakhi in the hands of our class boys whom they feel like their brother(apadinu avangala sollikiranga).
 
                         There were many mis-understandings,quarrels between boys and girls before, but on that day it was like a dream final-cse"B" where both of them interacting with each other. Boys, were speechless when girls tied that rakhi in their hands. I don't know what happened to these girls, they were holding a bunch of that rakhi in their hands. "Really,I was very much keen to know, whether these girls tied b'coz they felt, that boy resembles their brother or b'coz of affection or "JUST FOR SAFETY PURPOSE" (hope it was not for that last reason)".......

                        I myself saw one of our class girls asking in the amenity center for 5 or more rakhi.I was surpised to see that she is having class full of brothers. Uh.,..........

             

                  

                        Two of them tied rakhi to me...One that I expected but the other surprised me...... When I saw some of the boys with 7 or 8 rakhi in their hands.... I felt happy,relaxed and escaped b'coz that horrible situation didn't happened to me.....And some girls were saying that their brother should gave them a gift.... Thinking, only for that gifts they had tied......hoping......not like that.....

                         I could also saw some heart-broken for some of the boys when girls tied to them, which they really didn't expect.... felt sorry for them...... It was very interesting when few of the girls tied to the back-benchers which they never expect.... "They thought only for the safety-purpose they were tying those rakhi and all....."

                 

                       And, for the first time in my life  I had presented the gifts to the girls who have tied that rakhi in my hands....Not only me....Most of the boys presented the gifts to the girls without considering the cost of the gift.... 

                          B'coz, Some of the boys thought, they had tied this 5 or 10 rupees rakhi and demanding for some gifts more worth than that....But, when we think deeply, somehow they have considered ourselves as their brother and  showed some kind of respect by tying those rakhi's in our hands. 

                       So, its not the money or gifts that plays a vital role here, its the "AFFECTION THAT MADE US TO PRESENT THOSE GIFTS". (enake ithu konjam overa thaan theriyuthu......)

"THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS"

               Its my pleasure to write this post. Here I just want to mention one of  the good things happening in our class. yeah! Its the b'day celebrations of our fellow class-mates.

                 When we joined in this college we didnt know each other. As the time passes, each one of us found their own friends.So, what really happened was that if there was a b'day celebration, he/she would invite the friends belonging to his/her gang. It was like a cold-war among the gangs in our class.

              Then, we progressed to second year. Some people in our class,  who really cares for the unity of our class took some  remedial measures like meetings in the hostel, compromise etc...But, all in vain.Only the gang celebrations proceeded.

            At the same time, the  people who needs the class to be one and not to be sepearated by gangs had never gave up even after they were mocked and shamed by some of  the fellow mates. Ah!!! It seems You all eager to know who were that "PEACE -PIGEONS"... here is the clue for two of them.... A guy who loves NCC  more than the WEB-TECHNOLOGY CLASS and the other one is a zero-watts BULB but it brightens like a SUN. Hope,you figure out them. 


              Finally, the day came when we all celebrate the birthday of one of our friend all together. It was a nice celebration for all of us. It nearly takes two good years for us to realize , how much enjoyment we missed in that two years.Then, what happened was that whenever a boy/girl celebrate his/her b'day we all celebrate it together with cakes,fun, teasing (ootifying) them by writing their "CRUSH's" name on the b'day cake. And when he/she cuts the cake there will be some friends waiting to rub the cake pieces on their faces,,,,Over that, there will be some other friends who were so much eagerly waiting for the cake piece to EAT.... Uh..... full of enjoyment......

  

               Other than that, if the b'day is for a boy, then surely, there will be "BIRTHDAY- BUMPS",  where all of our friends will give  "POWERFUL SMASHES" on his back continuously. It will be like a DEER caught by the GANG OF LIONS". Its full of fun for all of us except for the birthday boy. Myself, had faced that situation on my b'day, when one of my friend,project-mate, VISHAL gave  two "THUNDERING BLOWS" on my back.I was screaming there like I'm going to die at that moment. But, what to do, its all in the game. I just saw my back turning into "CHILLI-RED". Then what I thought was that, I should gave that blows to someone else.

               Ah! There comes, my friend pradeep's birthday where I enjoyed a lot more than my B'day. It was that same guy vishal, who hold pradeep fimly and I gave that "THUNDERING BLOWS" back to him. I saw his back tuning to "BLOOD-RED".I was very much happy at that time to see his back worse than mine. There after we didnt miss anyone of our classmate's b'day. We all together enjoyed the celebrations.

               What I like to point out is that, there are many of my friends including me...never celebrate our birthday in our life by cutting the cakes,birthday-bumps etc...... We were so much glad to have such friends in our classes...It shows us friends are the one who really makes our life worth meaningful....When we are out of the college next year, we all will  surely miss this enjoyment what we are enjoying right now..." I bet all of you, surely, Tears will roll out of your eyes when you think about your life, without your friends."So, utilize this last-year and enjoy like you never enjoyed before.
