Life at TCS

My first day at TCS started off with me frowning about falling in a batch where i had no friends. Making new friends had never been a problem for me and it worked out really good here. Each batch need a HR SPOC and people were asked to volunteer. I stood on an impulse because in a place where 2.2 lakh people work, to be recognized you have to be someone special. What i dint expect was the competition. There were two other stubborn people who were interested.Both of them became my very good friends later. But that moment, i had to do a lot of arguing and convincing. I was the HR SPOC and all of a sudden i wanted to b the best one. So i collected all the contact numbers of my batch mates and texted them mine. It started off there.
I settled in the last row with a gang of guys in ILP and I dint know some of the best days of my life came ahead. I excelled in everything i could and had lots of fun. Cool trainers joined us in having fun and strict ones were made fun of. It was like reliving my college life in an even better way. We teased girls once in a while but I guess they loved it too. All eyes would be in last row cuz we guys never shut our mouth. Vicky, Viswa and I were the most naughty ones. A month passed. We did our exit tests well. Viswa and I were given offers to be a part of my trainer's project in the future which we both decided not to in the very next sec.
cuz I was the HR SPOC, I spent a lot of time in the HR dept. All of them became m
y friends. Punitha, Sathish and suresh were close to me. We spent a lot of time together. I dint wanna go home at all. I spent half of my day at the office.
Then our batches were split for stream training. history kinda repeated itself. I was sad my friends fell in different batches. But then again I got a new gang of friends who have become my friends for life.
I stay with them now and trust me I have not been this happy in my life.
This photo was taken when we went to mgm together.
I wish we stay like this forever.
If i have to write about al the sweet,funny things that happened between us its gonna take forever so they are just gonna be my memories :)

In the beginning of my stream training, I concentrated a lot with help from Saravanan but later I started enjoying life.
We started finding a lot of game sites not blocked by tcs. We played dumbcharades with our trainers. We were never silent. A lot of them envied us. :) Vinod and Arvindan would tell stories about their friends who got drunk which were very very hilarious.

The exams were the fun part. We tuk exams only in groups.
All of us scored a minimum of 80% which is actually a very good score in that exam. The ILP days were coming to an end. I knew I had to bid gud bye to my trainer and a lot of my friends and especially the HR people. Biding gud bye to friends dint seem a prob cuz we felt we might fall in the same project which finally happened after i took a lot of efforts. The sad part was I dint know when I can meet the HR friends again.

I can finally say the ILP days were one of the best days of my life because I knew so many people and had too many friends who wished well fr me.. When i walk from one corner to another, I would get a minimum of 25 hi. I felt so loved here .

I wish all my friends who made my days memorable good health and luck :)
