Life is Good....!!


well i know that the title sounds like the slogan of a very popular brand,but no,i'm really beginning to feel good-not because S.O(special officer) left my college,i'm placed..yes you read it right,i'm PLACED..!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
venue-Sri Ram engineering College
time-not sure,obviously in the morning.
date-sep 10th,2007.

The event that lead me to this fateful day?!.7th september,well it was some aptitude test comprising 4 sections.
1.comprehension
2.quants
3.logical
4.Data Structures,C,OS etc.
The test began on a usual note-i was blank,knew nothing.To make things more annoying i had this friend of mine asking me for answers when i knew nothing,whatever.The test lasted for about an hour or so.To my knowledge,i did well only in comprehension,logical and the other two were hopeless as i was randomly shading the circles,just when i was about to complete the pattern in my OMR..time was up.They said they'll announce the results later on the evening,none had the hope to wait,besides who would wait-afterall we've got our culturals and a last one at that.So we left,not even a shred of hope was there in
my case,i knew it would be one of those cases where i would call my dad and tell him my friends are selected and my dad would retort "its okay,there is always a next time" and all that.There i was sitting in my college's lawn and watching some event on the stage when my friend sent me the message "you are selected"..and i was like.."what the @#@#$$*&*&...!!wow...".I was'nt the only one,there were about 3 along with me and the surprising thing was that-only four of em were selected out of some 50 odd students,i mean from my college-so you can gauge my luck.I was very elated coz all this "aptitude through'ing" and all that were new words in my placement dictionary.
The interview was on monday(10/09/07) and needless to say i felt as tensed as a guy sitting on a time bomb.Unfortunately,time dint seem to sense my feelings and it was punctual-*poof* came monday- D day..!!
MONDAY:-
I hated it,that college was like built in the middle of no man's land and the only thing you can probably do there is plough fields,sleep there,eat there.i began to wonder what those students do when they bunk college,,..but the good side is that you realise its better you attend the college rather then bunking it in the middle of the day..!!
ahem..sorry i got carried away..where was i..yeah..I decided to go with anupam in his bike.The journey lasted for about an hour or so,after enquiring many people we finally reached the college-a relief.
The interview was SUPPOSED to start at around 9,but due to various difficulties it started only at around 1.30pm if my watch was right.But that doesnt mean we wasted time,the students at that college were human enough to actually understand our boredom and showed the movie-"chak de"..unfortunately that was cut short thanks to the timely intervention of the HR's of that company.
The HR's were also in a hurry,may be they had some flight to catch or whatever.They split the ones available into groups of 5 and the interview was over in a jiffy-not for me ofcourse,for the ones before me.!!.Then came my turn,i was pretty confident.It was over in about 10 minutes,technical wit periodically general questions like "tel me about yourself,hobbies..".I did pretty well,i was kinda confident,but i dint wanna fly high.So i sobered up.
The results were out ....and suprise..I was IN..seesh..I was very happy..called my dad,messaged all my friends..I was so happy,had no words at all.
Oh yeah,anupam,one more gal of my class also got placed.
Now my life is pretty settled and stable,waiting eagerly for the offer letter.
I forgot to mention the name of the company-EDS..do google it if you have time..
Thank you..
And if you people are wondering why i've displayed that pic,i stumbled upon this really really funny pic,wanted to share it with you people..!!

I never thought one had to google to find out about EDS. It is a great company. Almost as good as Microsoft and Google. So these are not mediocre musings anymore. You should probably consider " Musings of the freaky geek."
