Almost entire life in jus 4 1/2 months .....

yet another post after probably 2 months....actually there s nothin much u can do wen ur on bench and wen ur far away from ur home town...so i thought i ll increase my posts...somethin to jus read and liven up a few minutes for me...so here i go to describe the last 4 1/2 months of my life...well i write to jus make myself happy and so here i go jus to enjoy that nostalgic feeling...

i am talkin of the 4 1/2 months of training at infosys-mysore...hmmm wher do i start ...the day i got my call letter....i was extremely happy...no no i guess 'excited' is more appropriate ....we got the call letter exactly a month before the joining date so basically that month flew by jus tellin ppl that i ve got the joining date and visiting relatives place,finishin up some work and stuff as if we were gonna die for ever or somethin...seems funny wen i think of it now....then finally for the last one week used my dad s money to shop for clothes etc etc......not like i din have proper ones til then but i guess jus another excuse to get some new stuff and paritally a part of the general rules wen someone starts somethin new.....so obviously me too did the same....then it coninued with callin up all friends and tellin them i ll be leaving and meeting up with them ...finally the day comes wen i have to leave....getting all blessings from the elder ones at home......an atmosphere worse than gettin married (:-p)...like as if ur entering some worst place on earth and really gotta be careful ..wat not...the typical parents advices which we barely follow but always have to listen.....

then finally landed at infosys mysore campus...i must tell u the first one week i was in complete awe,bliss,excitement ...dunno how else to describe that campus...mind blowing architecture, amazing hostel rooms, sexy multiplex, huge food courts minus the food ,green all around(green in every way..:-))), the crazily big umbrellas with infosys written on it...but for the size of the umbrella i would have flicked one for sure...hehe....then slowly settled down there after the borin induction program... then started the rigourous training....module after module... gettin to know abt the attendance criterion and stuff there at infosys and slowly finding it difficult to be physically present also for those innumerable lectures.... by the time we came to the last module and had our compre and stuff i was like dam i haven studied so much in my life types...!!!

besides the technical stuff which we learnt there we did learn much more...and trust me whether we use our technical skills gained there or not we have definitely grown as an individual.........firstly i ve learnt to come out of the comfort zone i was in with my friends and family.....of course i do have my times where i miss all of them and get irritated with life but that doesn last long coz we realise tat things can be the same always and if it is gonna be the same its gonna be quite borin......secondly i ve actually tried and made my ppl happy and proud by sending all these surprise gifts for birthdays...accordin to me there s no point in u earning if u cant spend it on ppl u love or help our family or friends in some small way...jus a token to say u love them and need them always...like the sayin goes" if u love someone show them ,its better than telling it but ya if u hate someone then tell them ,its better than showin it...". so basically i realised the value of each and every individual who has been responsible for my success in some way or the other...

i must admit tat it has given me a sense of complete independence...wen i say independence i completely mean it...where else could i experience walking back from classes at wee hrs of the morning(if ur committed even more better..:-)))), having more number of tea breaks than actual sesions, the innumerable games that we used to play,the communicator chatting from one desk to other, fwding assignments done by one person to all and submitting it by jus editing the employee ids and jus because we get tea or coffee for 24 hrs we practically lived on it and made it one of our favourite bevarages.. ..hmph!!wat not??..wat is exciting is u get to do most of it without any hindrances as in no one s constantly ordering u or tellin u wat to do and wat not.... no one monitors u wat so ever...so basically i d say wat u were there completely determines wat life u would have or wat u had...it was solely ur responsibility for everythin.....well its nice as long as u don mis use the freedom....

and lastly i completed my training successfully...whooooo!!!(yaya much more difficult than writing this post..:-D) and got posted to pune....well i was obviously feelin extremely sad abt gettin a location really far from my hometown....but now i am slowly gettin used to it... i ve actually started enjoyin it ...But for a few moments wen i miss my ppl or feel things would be better if someone was around i must say that this life does rock in more ways than one..... all gets back in a moment and i am back to experience somethin new and somethin exciting for the day....hopefully this excitement stays on for long which directly implies that the bench/table/chair period be reduced! and we are put into some actual work...

cheers!!
