Time and its ways!

Its been more than a year since I have blogged.

Its been such a long time since I have had some private time. Being a part of the  IT industry and this busy world has taken its toll on me.

I realize how fast time can fly and how painfully irrevocable it can be.

There are moments you wish should last forever and sometimes you just wanna kill time.
So what brings this change in your perception of time is something interesting to ponder about.

The key factor which influences this perception is the people we are with.
When you are meeting a really close friend after a long time you want it to last but sitting through a boring lecture is a big NO..

As time goes by, you feel cynical. Every tom, dick and harry tells you its a mean world and we have to fight our way through. Trust is a word you barely hear after college and this just keeps getting worser day by day.

The end result of all this is you stop feeling really happy. Having fun is different from feeling happy.
Feeling happy has a lasting effect and its cherished more.

The world is made of people like us. Call me optimistic but I am sure there is at least one good hearted person among every 10. If you can find him or her and let them know there are people whom they can trust and be free with, this phenomenon will spread and the world will be beautiful again.

When you  meet a friend from college or school and realize things are just the same between the both of you and both of you wish well for each other from the bottom of your hearts, hope finds way into your life.

One moment they are fun to be with, then you want their friendship for the rest of your life and then just their thought fills happiness into you.

Living a life just to make it to the grave wealthy and not hurt is a total disgrace to God who gave this life to love and enjoy.

So let yourself go.

Call a good old friend and tell him or her how you feel. Make new friends, fall in love. Its okay to get hurt because you can never really value something until you are burned.



Cheers,

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 :)

My updates!

It has been a long time I have posted things. Now has come the time to post my updates. I got placed in TCS and this happened on Jan 11.:)

It was like the best day of my life cuz the interview was really cool. I had a chat with the HRs regarding movies, twilight and stuff. It was incredible. Of course all this happened only cuz they were convinced I am technically sound. Most of all the day is memorable cuz I am gonna b with my close ones even after leaving college.. Yup! They got placed with me.

I filled the referral form yesterday and my exams start from April 26th. Just as usual I dint study much but I have a valid reason this time. I was busy working and supporting my dear buddies for their placements. Almost all of them are settled and that's a big relief. The thanks giving party was real fun in the beginning with us almost teasing the lecturers but it ended in sweet smiles, handshakes and tears. My college life has come to an end and I feel really miserable about it. My only solace is vasu is always gonna b with me.

Time to leave.. have to start preparing..

Hoping to do my exams well with God's blessings..

My first Salary

The best part of today was I had no idea of what was awaiting. I came back from college just like every other day and was happy that i had a nice time with my friends. I told my sis the day is gonna be memorable. Then I had to rush to IBM because I had to handle a class from 6 to 7. Then came the surprise. They told me it was my payday. Actually the scheme was that i get paid only after i complete a batch but they had made amendments and made it monthly.

I was asked to meet Mrs.Alphonse. I was so happy because she was actually my well wisher, a lady i knew from first day of my school. She blessed me and she was so happy that I had grown so much. She gave me a big dairy milk and wished me to earn more.

I came back home, gave it to my mom and thanked God. Now I am going to temple to donate 100rs as a token of thanks and gonna buy gifts for all my close ones:)..

This sure is a memorable day..

My First Job

Today I had a written test in St.Patrick Software solutions Pvt. Ltd, Business partners for IBM Advanced Career Education. I did the test well and I got my certificate for building a STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM software application to computerize the management of details of the students of IBM with facilities of storing the different courses offered and the batches present. I felt wonderful when i completed this application which is my first real world project. I added the search facility on my own and was appreciated a lot for its excellence. What came unexpected was the opportunity to do a part time job in that center. They were so impressed with my technical skills that they wanted me to take classes there. Today I was assigned my first batch. It starts on Jan 2 and I have to teach C. My dad is happy because I seem responsible now and more than that it is a privilege to be offered something like this when I am still in college.

I can guess how things are gonna change in a few months.. I am not sure if I will make new friends, i mean real friends and not that professional relationship which a lot f them share in that future world of mine. I am keeping myself occupied not to think about that. TCS is coming on Jan 10th and i haven't stepped into the preparation zone yet. I am whiling away my time watching movies and doing every other thing than studying. I had a lot of plans for this vacation and I followed it only for the first few days, nothing unusual..:)

Well, now I just believe that God will guide me into the right path and He will be with me no matter what just as usual.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

I watched the movie Romeo and Juliet today. Till yesterday, I only had a vague idea of this wonderful play. I started reading and just got engrossed into it for the lines were so wonderful.
The way Romeo feels about love and the way he admires Juliet is overwhelming..

No wonder people love it and it doesn't surprise me that it still stands as a beautiful romantic piece despite the passage of time.

I am just going to paste a few wonderful lines from this masterpiece..

First meeting
ROMEO: [To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO: O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
JULIET: Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
ROMEO: Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
JULIET: You kiss by the book.

Romeo says these words looking at Juliet when she appears by the window

[JULIET appears above at a window]
what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

My college

My college is a recognized government institution which comes under Pondicherry University. Getting into Pondicherry Engineering College is a dream for many in my place. Though I was qualified in the AIEEE examination my parents dint want to send me far off. So I had no other better option than this(now I am thankful to it:)). PEC is a prestigious institution and the only way you can get into it is through merit. I won my seat here. I should admit it is a sweet haven. When you stand in the second floor of the majestic Administrative Block you can have a wonderful view of the Bay of Bengal. The scenery is so artistic.

My college has given me so much and I am indebted to it forever. It gave me a very good set of friends. We come across a lot of people in life.

Many of them become acquaintances and many friends. But only a few make you feel, you can trust them on anything. They make you feel you can bet your life on them and being next to them is paradise. This college gave me such friends. Just 6 more months left for me to dwell here. These days are never gonna come back. All these things i am writing would remain as sweet memories.

I had a lot of experiences here. Friendship,Rivalry, misunderstandings, sacrifices almost every feeling you can feel in a lifetime. My dad wanted me to experience hostel life. The plan was to put me in the hostel for the first six months. Hostel life was awesome.It was Home away from home but there were no rules, only fun. The best thing I liked about the hostel was the freedom I had and that I could always be with my friends. When I was a fresher, one of my seniors told me that a hostel is a Home Of Smart Titans and Eccentric Legends. We were proud to be hostlers. Just like in every hostel we had rivalry with our seniours. It was very interesting and adventurous. I loved it. But later we became friends and had a very nice time. I still remember that farewell where all my seniors were in tears.
Most of the guys were drunk which dint help cuz they became more emotional. They were advising us to stay away from girls and to concentrate on our careers. That day, I knew even i had to face this someday. Now I know that the day is not far off for me and I cant even imagine it. It is so heartbreaking.

Our Parents are happy that we are going to complete our degree and get into a job. A few of my fellow mates are happy for the same. But it is not the same for me and my group of friends. We planned a lot in our second year on how to stay together after college. All that seems quite impractical now. Our position is different from our seniors. They were lucky. Their campus interviews were over by the 3rd year but for us it is in our final year final sem. This is so God damn pathetic. We cant enjoy even our last few months happily. Our destiny is still invisible....
