Scribbles of a Lazy Geek

  Long time I posted here :( I am getting restless to post something and anything :| -- Maybe I will be able to manage my time better, once I am a little more experienced in my work :| ... I hope so !!! -- Its been almost 3 years since I am blogging , now dont ask me why I am telling this ... just felt like sharing it ... no its not like, ‘on this day that year’, just a random thought which struck my mind :s .. I guess I actually I started blogging somewhere in Jan '06. -- Eprise !!!! Damn it !!! -- There is a book called, 'Book Of Answers' ,it is Freaky !!!! Everytime I go to Landmark in Forum, I open this book atleast once :P … Amitesh ne Arun ko dikhaayi, Arun ne mujhe…. Aur main baaskiyon ko dikhaata hoon :D -- Talking about Landmark, mann... the place is an amazing Time pass :P -- Talking of Landmark, yesterday there were queues to enter Forum :O ... I mean ... what the hell :O ... queue up to enter a Mall :O -- Argh!! I almost forg...

Yeah… sad but true :(   I don’t want to grow up! Why do we have to sober down once we become professionals? :(   A couple of incidents made me write this thing….   On my way to Goa , I and my group were sitting in the bus… and another group of youngsters was also there, possibly from infy … and everything was so calm, everything was so silent, no one was talking with each other, they were all sitting silently! I asked Rohit, why is everyone sitting so silently? He replied , they are all professionals… :O .. I replied, is it?? He said, “Look at us, we also have sobered down very much after college” …   This Monday, I brought Home Baked Cooked, which my Mom made, to office!!! I shooted a mail to my team mates saying, “Sweets at my Desk”. I expected everyone to come running to my desk, and finish off the cake in matter of seconds!!! But to my surprise, 15 minutes after I sent that mail ,...

Abhinav Bindra :)   Finally … after such a long wait, India has its first ever Gold in a individual event in the Olympics!   And a Gold in any event after 28 years, the last one came in 1980 in Moscow Olympics, when USA and allied countries boycotted the event!!! This means Indian National Anthem in Olympics after 28 years :)    

Okk, I know its all getting a little toooo … long :P … will try to finish it all up now :)   Generic Training is meant for those who aren’t from CSE/IT background. The first module was PST – Problem Solving Techniques (a non-evaluative module), so no Module Test for this one :) … It was just some basic Algorithm etc and stuff.   The first evaluative module was CHSSC(Computer Hardware and System Software Concepts). It was just some basic computer funda’s, which I luckily had studied in Operating Systems and 8085 in B. Tech (now that’s another thing how much I knew about it  ). I was nervous like anything on the night before the exam, but in the end it all went fine and I cleared the exam with an ‘A’! Slowly I started settling into the routine of studying ‘daily’, which was something new to me :P. A night before an exam I used to sleep at around 1 or 2 at night, slowly the sleep time started getting...

Oh…yes, first day at my first (err .. second) job. The first few days are supposed to be induction, and many people had told me that we can enjoy this wonderful campus only in these first few days, later these people wouldn’t give us time to even meet your room mate (and they were right.. to an extent). The horror stories had started pouring in even before the ‘actual’ training started. I met Mehtab (another school mate of mine) in Mysore , and he told me that he had not slept for the past three days , and Combiflam and Black Coffee were his food and water for that time. :O . He had his ‘compre’ on the day I joined. Now, for those who are wondering what this ‘compre’ is, it is the short for Comprehensive Exam. This ‘compre’ is the same like the final exam, where the entire syllabus comes in the paper. I was scared to say the least! He had stories about people fainting during the exam, exit from the company for failing to clear the module exams (something like the sessionals/minors...

After giving the interview, I waited for 28th Jan, my new DoJ at Aztecsoft, patiently again. Somewhere in mid Dec I got a mail from Aztecsoft about my DoJ being postponed further till May ’08. This was when all hell broke loose again . I dint informed it to anybody that my DoJ had been postponed, and thought of telling them only when the result of Infosys interview was out!!! But, I was meant to experience this too…. A guy by the name of Avnit Anand(whom many of you I guess know, as the Agarsen ka topper ) just did his part and my parents came to know about the new DoJ through him…. .. Finally on 6th Jan I received a call from Infosys Bangalore about my selection and , I was told about my joining at Mysore. Things smoothened out again! I packed my bags and boarded the flight to Bangalore on 12th Jan. The only sad part about my joining Infy on 14th Jan was that I would have to miss my Sis’ wedding :( . This would be one of my biggest regrets :( , but there was hardly anything I could do...

Oh, Yes! I cleared the infosys written exam again ! The next day was the interview . I was alone at home that whole week, so dint hv anyone this time to iron my formal cloths. Bought a new folder and somehow managed to ron my cloths. I decided to wear my new cloths, which I had bought recently as I was about to leave for my joining at Aztecsoft J. The night before the interview, I just brushed up a few current affair topics that I was expecting to be queried about in the interview. The next morning nicely dressed up, I left home for the interview venue by bus, and reached there a good one hour ealrlier than my scheduled time of interview. As soon as I sat in the waiting area after submitting my documents, I was called by a guy and asked to wait outside the the interview room until the interviewer calls me inside( jus for some info, this guy who asked me to wait outside the interview room was the same guy who also came at MAIT during the infy test J ) . Waiting patiently outside the roo...

The previous year … i.e. June’07 – May ’08 has been eventful in more than one way. I always thought that I had seen it all, but I was wrong. There were always some surprises in store for me, and to be very honest I was caught unawares and unprepared! Still, I have got no regrets. The first checkpoint was 3 rd Dec ’07, the original DoJ ! Slowly everyone started to leave, and there I was waiting with a smile for my turn J , but there were different things in store for me. Joined Wipro BPO for a month and a half , and to be very honest , that is one experience I wont forget for my entire life! Fake certificates, fake resume, taking calls :P , night shifts, voice and accent training …. egg rolls and maggi at the ‘rerhi’ in front of the office building at 2:30 AM … it was all fun !!! and then the cabs, it was all an experience worth IT ! After WIPRO BPO which I had to leave under some ‘unavoidable’ circumstances :P came the real PAIN ! 4 months gone by and I am still there, 2 ...

Time to Move on ? Yes !

When was the last time you called up someone and had ‘nothing’ to say and just to stretch the conversation, said “Aur suna ?” . I have been noticing this for quite sometime, when I call some friend and we have virtually nothing to talk about I invariably repeat the same line again and again , “Aur Suna?” and the reply from the other side is also a standard one , “Bas chal raha hai/Bas sab sahi” or “Bas….. !!!” . There have been moments when both of us on the phone said the same phrase at the same time … and then follows an uneasy silence, persons on both sides waiting for the person on the other side to start some topic! In the end … the uneasy conversation ends with both the people saying… chal fir.. bbye… cya !!

Something which I never managed to do in 4 years, I did it in 2 months :O I finished one register :O ........ poora register khatam ho gaya :O , cant believe I did it! Also, the refill of the pen is also going to finish in a few days :O Wow!!!

Time – 3:55 am Date – 9 Feb ‘08 Location – Training Lab Reason for being in training Lab – Project (to be submitted on 12th Feb) I had decided that I wont be writing any senti stuff here…. But jus couldn’t hold it back today, thoda senti to likhoonga :P….. vella baitha hoon… code ban nahi raha aur neend aa nahi rahi .. so what better to do :P. Time has changed , a lot has changed with it. INCLUDING ME ! From the past 4 years I don’t remember a single occasion when I had woken up for so late for a deadline which was still some time away… rather a lot far away by the standards I go with. :D Well, one change that has come in me is that, of late I have started looking at things with a different perspective. I have slowly but surely started believing in “Whatever happens , happens for the best”. Another change I believe has come in me is that , I don’t know why, but I have started loving loneliness. I love being alone! I love solace! Whatever may be the reasons ….! And also …. ahhh leave it...
