Internship Experience or B'lore Experience as I must say!!!

2007-05-25T05:59:00.000-07:00

Here I am; after hibernation period of end sems & settling in Banglaore. In this blog I am going to take you with all my experience of internship.

To start with, lets go back to end of endsems. My last paper was that of Operating Systems ( the only concept remains is I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL REFER TO BOOK BY BRYANT !! ). May be some implicit relation between AM & BRYANT. Recalling about that exam, I attempted it in one single blow, didn't gave too much thought;( I now guess thats the reason for B+ : courtesy Mohneet).
Well, leaving that crap (where it should be), my parents also called on me that night. Well, I was in mood of celebrating end of 3rd year with my friends. So, I took dinner with my parents & returned to hostel.

That night..............

I have to go Delhi to catch my flight for Bangalore from there (PB & BISH accompanying me). Jan Shatabdi was at 7:30 a.m. Pb & I had a little talk about plans to be carried out in Bangalore. PB also told me about his friend, who according to him could provide us with each & everything we want in B'lore.

I thought of it being a cool journey; but I forgot about the continuous down pouring at Delhi. All three of us had to sit consecutively but finally we were dispersed. I was able to fit myself at the seat aside of sliding door. The lady beside me had so much luggage that she was on window seat & wall of baggages in middle seat. Problem came when her partner came to occupy that seat . I then had to meddle into ( as a responsible youth) juggling their baggages below seats. (damn these oldies...) .
Somehow, our journey was over & Delhi's scorching heat had already made us dull. We put our luggages in cloak room & then went to have glimpse of Delhi. Sight seeing of birds was kind of cool! Mine & PB's frequency matched while BISH was lost somewhere. We searched for Spiderman 3 in CP, but show was over. Went over to REGAL & PVR Rivolity. But REGAL was too regal to cast SP3 & in PVR, PB's laptop spoiled our plan.
So, we had to roam in Palika Bazar, I dont know whats special about that place.(I dont know whats special about that place; sellers & buyers both know that the high prices are subsequently slashed down). I was tired of walking on the streets; we had lunch at McDonalds & then returned to station to claim our luggage. There we had South Indian dishes (as in Sambhar Vada ) because some hasn’t nullified his appetite. We finally agreed to go to airport & enjoy the cool atmosphere there.
It was going to be my life's first experience on a plane. I was much excited. We took an auto from Station outer & we were the reason for a brawl between two brokers ( it was totally arousing, with a tinge of Delhish accent). Though excitement was not that high as I thought it would be; I slept in the auto & warm air continuously waking me up! Finally we arrived at airport; ahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

What a relief to eyes; it were making the highest throughput they ever made( same with PB & BISH). We waited for sometime to get entry; . After going into airport we took the seats & then waited to board the plane( 2hrs. later). PB told to go into the deccan boarding room & had a seat there. So we missed global fairness; just Deccan & Spicejet.

We were hungry; BISH went to grab a sandwich at confectionery shop there Narulas. A pack of cheese sandwich containging 2 costed per person Rs 63. ( God, why is it so costly). I finished mine somehow.
I was charging my mobile at the charger point; a policeman was doing the same. He said “Narula se ho…”; I couldn’t understand so I said ‘yes’( as usual....) . After sometime I noticed that the waiters at Narulas were wearing red tshirts & so was I. Quite embarresed.

My mobile screen went off ( i should have brought my Ericcson Walkman series). Someone said it wasn’t charging, people came to see & giving their judgement so I took it off. We stood in the queue as most of the passengers were to occupy the window seat. BISH was foremost in the queue; we lagged behind. Finally, we boarded the plane & occupied the 3 consecutive window seats. I was quite amazed to have a look of Delhi when the place took off. Acceleration during takeoff was my favorite part of flying. After that I slept; frequent free falls were also experienced.

We landed at Bangalore & PB was trying to call Takkar sir; he got him & asked about his address. The van which we hired took Rs. 400; first Bam! inBangalore

Next day for Induction Programme we have to go to Hotel Ashoka Deluxe; but the venue was changed as we came to know when we reached there. We had to move to Hotel Windsor Manor( erstwhile known as Windsor Castle). That hotel (or castle which I should say) is the best which I have seen in my life till now. Its royal look, receptions, bars, dining rooms etc. were appearing of some other country not of India. I was overwhelmed & wanted to have a look of whole layout; but all persons concerning with IBM were to go to one of its Hall.

I asked the manager there to make a call to my home, he told me the rates would be high. He enquired from the operator; the rates were Rs. 105 per minute. A blot from blue…………… recalled its Bangalore & that too Windsor Manor……”

There we met Ramchandra, a guy who came from US might be from George Mellon University. He was doing his MS there. He was a cool guy & he opted this intern because he wants to be with his parents in India.

After this our search for Paying Guest begun…………. & that’s continuing till now.

Destroyed, damn you midsems!

Again, to hold the front! Emotions arose all of a sudden. Nothing is good, everything bad( specially the elective GT)..... Somehow after getting over thru intern tension; life is not gud at all......

Retrospecting the days of school where we actually study & had a gud environment; there was a dream cherished in our eyes. But what all remains is "their ashes". ( god help the phoenix arose from it). Now what remains in my eyes is sleep & agression.

Couple of days back! discussing with Monty; we were actually wondering what all we have gained till now! (....lest leave this crap; its same old boring story ). Although, we finally landed abt. discussing our latest crush. The most co-incidental part of it that we both have some attachments with the same homophone .

Well, my event in Congizance-2007 went well; though my personal experience for future is that I wont hold any post of coordinator in future! Bad part of it was that I cudn't participate in any of the events!
Although, during CHAOS( @Cognizance )! I was able to rejuvenate myslef by watching the semis b/w 2 DU teams & the finals: Rev v/s Elite .
In nuke; Elite gave a major blow to Rev( I remember that one of the round lasted for approx. 6 seconds only) ; but somehow(in inferno & d2) Revs were able to regain their position as defending champion. The match finished at 12:45 a.m.

A week after Cognizance we had our sucking midsems..... Now everybody knows abt. it . I think the Profs. here are waiting for moments to take life out of us! TS are over now with just 11 hrs. of sleep in 2 days! ( I am sure this wont be fruitful ).......

The only good things which remaining in my life is watching Friends & playing Billiards.

Thank U Guys!!

Winter Vaca.(06 ends)

2007-01-07T20:13:00.000-08:00

Vacations at home can never be constructive; atleast for me . Who can b such an idiot to spend whole day playing CS with 20 bots that too in fy_dustworld or 4/4 AOE 200 popu., team islands+Rivers(toughest)+Fortress..........I wish to say , I am Joey;I am disgusting...... (abridged from FRND.)

Plans for study didnt worked out; yet I managed to get some books.
Good part is, I came across a lot relatives & unknowingly touching their feet for wishing me luck.

Although, I enjoyed living with my nu pet 'Tyson'. Nothin else to write abt. holidays except of losing 300 bugs for rapairing of laptop adapter.

.

3rd yr. 2nd sem.

2007-01-07T19:57:00.000-08:00

Quite a predicament for me! Waking up at 7:15 a.m & running to MCA dept. for GT class; cold out here ......... its so cold that I cant even think of! Well start of this sem is not quite interesting for me. Morning electives is making life more cumbersome. Chang of room is yet another change for me.

Recently, me & yuti back off from goin in New Wing, & finnaly it resulted in collapse of others' plans.

Last sem was quite a pain-stacker; yet able to grab 5A's & 1C+. with SGPA 8.75 (touchwood). Leaving acads apart, news of Her's marriage was a bolt form blue; & if u hav frnds like Monty * Gola who would make u sad at heart by singing it thru out the bhawan, who else needs to take care of.............. God,tell them to empathise with me.

Still not able to grab an intern!

Goldman hit me hard

2006-09-26T12:25:00.000-07:00

A few of my frnds. r aware of how i managed to get selected in Goldman interns' written test. Well that wasn't all where it ended.GD & INV were waiting for a hunt. Well just ontime preparation wasnt fruitful for me. In GD candidates started yellin( ---it reminded me of my first GD ever at Air Force Base Station, Varanasi----------), somehow I managed to put forward som pts. but i wasn't able to hav concrete thoughts.

After getting kicked out I realised that something is probably missing in my personality, may b outspokeness or extrovert. These crap r a lot of tension for me. I dont know whether these things r of great concern or not but certainly I find myself a loser at frequent occasions.

I wil try to pay heed to Pb's advice that "------its all abt. acting."...............................

Interns crap!

2006-09-20T04:56:00.000-07:00

Although, mid sems ended yet no relief for me. This midsem seemed to me as end sems of previous yr.. Adding to this mid sem crap, some *..... companies hav started for interns.

Goldmann- missed
Schlum- not even shortlisted
Microsoft - big bulls r after them

This week, I lost in Inter Bhawan Snooker match. That a***ole BABA didnt even gave me a chance , nor he missed any shot. Although we them a tough competetion( especially Mayank & Scahin(MBA) ) but as usual , Ganga Bhawan cant owe nothing better than that.

Algo. class is no more a soothing one ( not becoz of her frequent absents !!!!!!!!) but that same crap written in book is pasted on board i.e. twice torture.
Moreover, wordlist preparation is on a halt. God knows abt. my future! (@Pb)

For Monty & UTK , u think that i m goin crazy for my satyawachan which i told u, but guys keep one thing in mind that u hav to search for purpose of ur existence in this world snobs. Try to deceive the biggest "DECEPTION POINT" of ur life.

Glen episode

2006-08-31T21:52:00.000-07:00

last week was quite charming & joyous, especially the algo. class.
All of a sudden i developed passion for color "black" (most of u hav guessed). Also, its good to hav fun rather than studying Logarithms in class for Algorithms.

Well, bad luck in Billiards Challenge for me & gola. I missed a rare oppurtinity.
As an optimistic, alaknadna jindabad

Vocab practice is goin fine (but certainly we hav to speed up) & headache of TS has arrived.

Way on to 3rd yr.

2006-08-17T22:59:00.000-07:00

This july giving start to 3rd yr. that same old profs. & electronics is not letting me free.That same old crap ,tuts,lecs...........
Moreover, dean(of our collg.) here is quite free, cheking each canteen that parathas r not being made & patrolling in collg. in midnight. Fu**in administration here needs no introduction.

Although ,things r quite goin cool & i hav started learning Guitar. Well that was fun for first 2 turns after which it is a bit of burden.

Lastly, only through my efforts & a bit of Bish. i was able to complete my summ. proj. As usual , batsa(my proj. partner) goes with easy part of preparing report(which he hasnt started till now, 'hope he does').

Sometime i feel much lonely. Also my tastes hav become tasteless. As in , i stopped watchin movies & my favourite 'Frnds'. May b its a transition period

As usual , no success in gettiin over som fairer sex. Lets hope for best .

Well, from now onwards i will try to work more hard so as to enlighten my career, without ane disturbances.

2006-06-04T03:45:00.000-07:00

Well, staying in college in Summer vacations for project is a tiring job . All day sleeping & no constructive will till now .
What could be more depressing is to hav a proj. partner more careless than u . Side by side becoming a regular viewer of 'Southpark'.
God only knows how my proj. will come to its entitled destination......................
