ILP Days

Now its almost around 3 months and I would say, I have learned a little & enjoyed the days a lot. It was only for 60 working days but it created a great impact in my life. "Big things come in small packages." In the beginning it was a bit tough because all the faces were completely new to me. It took some time but I got few really very good & special friends in this small ILP. This ILP gave lots of great memories such as my first salary....

The BIG Day

Really it was a big day. The day I got the first salary of my life. It was really an awesome experience. Getting salary this month was never on the cards. But as we reached office today, it was like we may get the salary today. Just it was the matter of checking the email for the confirmation. But unfortunately, internet was not available at that moment. Seriously, at that time I was hoping that we shouldn't get the salary now because...

New Life! New experiences! New Friends!

After spending 15 days in TCS, its like I am used to this hectic life. There is no time to do what I like or things of my interest. Life is getting boring & boring. No excitement is left in the life.

Today I really feel the importance of a friend. I could enjoy in the office but...

About salary hikes, about designations, about discounts as a TCS employee. I also heard the rumor that if a we(TCS'ers) marry among our colleagues then will be gifted Rs. 1 lakh each from TCS.

The Day Of The Jackal

Instead of preparing for GATE, today I was wasted the whole day reading a novel (The Day Of The Jackal). After reading few pages of the novel I realized that my speed of reading the novel is such that I will be able to complete it in decades. The main problem I am facing while reading this novel is my very weak vocabulary. Facing lots & lots of new unfamiliar words and looking for all these words in the dictionary is just too much time consuming. But beside all these I would say that novel is quite interesting till now & I hope that it...
