what to say....

Today i saw cinderalla man. The movie was...is there any better adjective that awesome...than use that word. I tell u...it was one of the best...superb..marvellous..stupendous..i was entranced...even the qubbling ramkumar liked it very much. We , the sree theatre, gave a standing ovation at the end of the film. Did u hear that u ajith,vijay,simbu,dhanush,rajni,vijayakanth....standing ovation...when will u will ever come out of ur stardom and hype and will ever give us one quality movie, atleast one quality movie. Without any mumtaj dance, without any rape scenes, without any flying around, no mother sentiment, without a customary gana song....will u ever will be able to give atleast ONE movie like that. That day i will watch ur movie in a balcony ticket. Till then...even watching in cd is not worth for u ppl.

My infosys Experience

I gave my infosys exam today morning, that is on 18th. There was a good crowd, around 1000+ at the St.Micheal's academy. The school was too good. I felt like everyone except me was having a last time revision. My exam started at 10. First paper ws the puzzle one. I didnt prepare well at all for infosys. I never concentrated on puzzles and such descriptive questions as they were different from the CAT format. And i didnt prepare well in the past five week either. Those who had gone through the previous papers of infosys would have been selected.And I think they were in the 108 infy selected for the HR interview. I didnt make it through...feeling really bad and let down...I relly dunno why...I have an offer from a better company...but u know...still...infosys has been dream company...ever since i knew anything abt software..it was infosys...like a mentor...i thought i ud clear it...fuck shit..i shud have prepared really well..the questions were from different domain...like...critical reasoning and analytical reasoning...descriptive answers...cat format is different...i didnt finish the three books(unofficial infosys text books!) completely. I didnt go thrugh the previous question papers comprehensively...and yes...luck didnt happen coz I wasnt prepared when the opportunity came. too bad na..and yeah...it was not His wish too.
Anyway, its not that I am never gonna get into infosys...as a fresher...no I wont...but definitely one day...in a better position...I would get through...

Sunday at marina...

It was decided peremptorily that the get-together was on sunday 9th. I didn't give much thought about the day, after all its just an another sunday. It happend to be that the sunday wasn't just a normal. Vinayakar idols was supposed to be taken on that day for immersion. I have my reasons to worry friends. I witnessed riots during the prcession during the previous years, two times exactly at Ramkumar's home and once near my home! I think most of you would not have known that the route was changed after those incidents and its only in the last two years, the route has been reverted. So much for sunday!

Anyway, let's come the gettogether. It was indeed a pleasant experience to see the faces of friends. I just can't belive that its been already three months since our college got over. Man!...time flies. I had a great hardship to find the place, which according to many, was ostentatiously visible. My foot! Even though I have been at ice house near marina for 21 years, I never expected to be near that landmark! Yeah it was fine in the end. But definitely not a good place for the love birds. I wonder why we have never been to that place!

I really expected a good count, atleast a decent count. I would say, not many turned up. Of course, no get together is same without mutharasu and rangasayee...who sadly are having great time at Arizona and Kansas respectively. Damn u ppl! But yeah, I think only 15 turned up and only three girls. I think still there is demarcation between boys and girls. You know what, I expected those who were free would turn up in great numbers. Actually it was other way around. I find most of us who had turned up had been going to office.

This may not be a good advice, but I would like you people to have a little time for the past too. We would never back our college days albeit wasn't soo "college." Nevertheless, we have to cherish these moments. I really dunno how man people will turn up the next time when we have one like this, if we could even have one! I just hope that I am with u all to do "total damage"

Not to end this blog on sad note...after the beach me, kanagaraj,cd, bv,suman,kaks & laks went to planet ymm at spencer plaza. And...needless to say...we had a blast...if any police was around that time, i wont have been able to write this blog today! And yeah, I wish all the best for kannan and kanagraj in advance for their sojourn at USA. Dun be like muthu and sayee dudes. Find a girl IMMEDIATELY when u go there!

My team!!!...red devils...hey check out the new blog below this one! ...cheers....

Yahhooooo.....

I was on cloud number nine when i heard that dulcet! "Congratulations Riaz, Yo have been selected, welcome to TCS." I have run out of adjectives to describe the feeling hence I resorted to the above idiom. I indeed shared my experience about the recruitment process in the previous blog. This one is different. I cannot describe my feelings when I got my first offer letter. Well, its not my actual first offer letter the first one was the "coveted" Net vision.But realllly i dun regard that as my offer(not meant to offend others, this is purely my perspective). In my arrogant opinion, I am not supposed to end up at call centre, that too out-bound....please!!

I posted how I felt, what I should have to do, and what indeed happened, in my previous blogs. Now, today I got the result of my medical examination and I am declared fit, to be in TCS, physically. I dunno what to say now!...i am like..I cant express this feeling. Those who already have got the job, may be you will understand my feeling. I feel my hard work has paid off, and to get into the stature of TCS is awesome. Many feel that this TCS process was very simple and lotts (1112) got into it. I am glad that I am among that 1112 and not the rest who didnt make it.

Now the real test starts. What I do in the first two to three years will define my future. I have great, great and very great aspirations for my future. Unlike previous times, let me achieve that AND THEN share it with you. I really dunno how to take this transition, I am clueless. But yeah, I know, I will "evolve" to adapt to the "environment." This blog may not sound coherent to u, not at all. Infact I have not prepared anything, what ur seeing my thought flow described in words. I promise my next blog to be meaningful and based on some issue! So please please please bear(my happiness) with me. So till next time..
