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. Even after 50 years if I think of my 1st salary, it will always be in the name of TCS in that VT-401. It was one of the best moments of the ILP.
So many cakes in such a short period. Starting from the 1st Salary celebration to the last Farewell cake, were really great. So many b'days in between such as Palash's b'day, Raya's b'day, Bharat & Shubhi's combined b'day, etc. Enjoyed all of them a lot & will miss these moments. Unofficially, I was the official cameraman to capture these moments.
I worked a bit writing some codes in the first phase of ILP i.e. the OLTP phase. Those times I mostly used to be busy in finding errors in the codes of people around me. But in the OLAP phase, I did nothing & was totally dependent on others.
Apart from these, the most important thing that I gained from this ILP is, some very good & more importantly very CARING friends. Because of some of these friends I never had to go to cafe for the prinouts of different documents. I remember, I haven't even paid for the printouts. Thank You. :)
By any chance, I don't want to loose any one of them in whatever worse the situation may arise. :(
It was nice to be a part of BG1_v1.1. ;)
I always had someone beside me in every situation starting from sequence of mappings to the diagnostics. ;) Samy the CR whom I voted, is my adviser. She always give me good advises. Whenever I was hungry, I looked at Raya & she always had biscuits or her lunch box full of fruits & sometimes paneer also.
Friends like Aritro & Soumen were always beside me during the lunch time especially with their empty plates waiting for me to finish. :) 
Skiped so many lunches. Even now when I skip any lunch those ILP days comes in my mind. :(
How can I forget Miss BakBak! Really the ultimate bakbak machine, Kiddo! If she were not there beside me in the first few days of ILP then things would have been more tough for me. Her name kiddo really suits her because she is still a kid aging not more than a 2-3 yr old kid. Don't know when she will be eligible for marriage. :P
In ILP we learned how to manage things. In college days, for a presentation we used to prepare for weeks. But in ILP, sometimes we didn't even get a single hour to prepare for ppts. Even my last ppts were not even prepared by me. Those were managed from others. Got so much help in each & every step. I wish these helps & moral support will always be beside me in the present as well as in the future also.
Last few days of ILP were the most busiest especially for the GLs. Most of the time we were working on excel sheets filling templates. Then came the final presentation & the SSA ppt. Final presentation ppt was copied & for SSA ppt I worked really hard but finally no one even saw that ppt. All efforts were in vain.
Then came our farewell arranged by ourselves only. For this we (Me & Manisha) prepared a website or rather a simple form with a database for the voting purpose. All went fine. 60 days of ILP were over very quickly.
Missing all those moments spent in ILP. Things & situations have changed so quickly than I have never imagined. -- "Change is the only Constant."
Anyways I hope to have a great career ahead to all my ILP friends. :)

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 the figure would be too small. But after few minutes net was there & I checked the mail. And the moment came, our first payslip was there. All the class was like shouting with so much joy I just can't explain. I myself was so much excited that I forgot about the salary figure. It was really one of the best moment of my life. After all it was the 1st salary of my life. Worst part was, I had no one to celebrate with. At the end of the office hours, I was just searching for some people to celebrate this great moment. I asked so many people but couldn't convince anybody.

Finally, was able to have 2 of my old friends to celebrate.
We had a small treat with the 1st salary.
At the end of the day, now I can say that from a college going student, now I have become a professional. :)

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. Its like waking up early in the morning then go to office then return home at night, have dinner & sleep. And the circle goes on. That's all left in my life.

Today I really feel the importance of a friend. I could enjoy in the office but you cant think of enjoyment without a friend. Till now I could not have too many friends. In my class I hardly have 2-3 friends. Its really very tough to survive without friends. The girl who sits beside me is really very humble and I can say that she is the best girl ( or a person ) I have ever met. I haven't met a person with such a pure heart. She is really helpful to all. Unfortunately, she is suffering from fever from yesterday. And that's why today she is absent and I have no one to talk with. Today I am really missing my old college & school friends. One thing for sure, in this corporate world you can find each and every type of persons. Right now we are having our ILP trainings. There is no problem for people like us who are from CS/IT background but its really tough for the Non-CS/IT people. Nothing can be done for that since we have to learn a lot of things in a short duration of around 3 months. I try to help as much as possible to those people who are in need. I try to explain things in best possible way. But still I don't know why they call me a bad teacher. :(
Even my younger brother calls me a bad teacher. There are lots of skills taught in here like Speaking skills, writing skills, etc. I hope along with these skills, I will be able to improve my teaching skills as well. :P

Really in need of a friend. I hope I will manage that too. Till then things are really very tough here. :(
Hoping for the best! :)

1st Week of the Corporate Life

Finally after a very long & arduous week its time to blog!
My corporate journey started on 10th of September at nearly 8:10 A.M. in the morning when I entered the campus of TCS. Then we stepped towards the auditorium which was quite awesome. It gave me a feel that I was sitting in inox, facing a big screen. Then there were sessions of lectures, then the document verification and many other joining formalities. Most of the time we were all just sitting in the auditorium getting bored. In this way the 1st day was over just sitting in the auditorium for the whole day. That day I left home at around 6 A.M. in the morning & was back home around 8:30 P.M in the night. It was really a BIG day.

On the next day we gave PAT ( Pre-Assessment Test). Top 10% of the performers were given the chance to select their ILP streams. Then again we were sent to the auditorium of the main TCS building. There first of all we watched a nice video regarding iSecurity. After that some sessions were held. Then we were sent to the vishnu tower. There we again watched 5 small movies of nearly 30min each in just max. 1 hr. :) :)
At last we were about to leave the premises, then we saw that the list having the different stream allocations was hanging just outside the class. I was allocated BIPM ( The stream I wanted the least ).

After these two days, our regular ILP classes started from the 3rd day. Sometimes it really gets very boring, after all how many times one can learn HTML & CSS kind of stuffs.. Although the majority of class is from NSEC but for me it seems like I hardly know 1 or 2 people in the class. :( Really missing all my good friends especially the college ones.

Then came the weekend! For weekend I would only say that if u are a job holder then only you can understand the real value of a weekend. Today is sunday & weekend is about to end. Again continuous 5 days of hectic schedule. :(

Some words about TCS

 

These days my best pastime is exploring about TCS.
Only 10 days are remaining before I join the company. So, I am curious to have a closer look at TCS. 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. But after surfing the net I found that its really a rumor and 0% truth is there in it. U can check the the truth in the comments of the post posted Here.
Now as far as hike in salary is concerned, the employees are given ratings according to their performance.
There are four bands A, B, C & D. Based on our performance we will be assigned anyone of them. Those who will be in assigned A band will enjoy the best hike in his/her salary & D band will also get salary hike but it will be less as compared to A, B & C people.
Now the tough part is, the band is based on Guassian curve. So, to get the A band we will have to work really hard. Say, if there are 10 people in a project then only 1 or 2 will be assigned A band.
Tensed!!! Don't worry this is not the end, hike in salary also depends on the designation. Right now, I will join TCS a ASE-T. After 1 yr my designation will be promoted to ASE with some obvious hike in my salary. After that I will be promoted to SE and then IT A with some good amount of hike in salary(hopefully).

In some blog I read that, After 5-6 years...if You are top performer...Continuously..if u got 5 RATING(A BAND)...u will be a Project lead..You..pay wise...will be around...9 lakhs..if u r a top performer..If u r an average performer..U may stay as a team member also..and ur package will be around..6.5 lacs...
I don't know how much truth is there in these statements but sill I am really happy after reading this. Hoping for the best :) :)
And as an employee of such a renowned brand i.e. TATA  we will certainly get good discounts in all the TATA products. Don't worry TATA is everywhere so we are going to get discounts in a wide range of products in the market. :) :)

Happy Birthday Rajan

This post is dedicated to one of my best friends ever, Rajan. Today is his birthday. I know him from Std. XI. And he was also my roomie for the 4 yrs of my college life. Really last night I was missing all the Masti that we have done while celebrating all the b’days in Shyamalima(The place we spent the last 2yrs of college life). Those whole night masti, those candles, funny names on the cake, everyone’s  face coloured with cake, reckless dancing, b’day bumps[rarely :)], and many more... Really those moments we will never get back.
Anyways, wishing you a very very very happy birthday. May all your dreams come true.

**@Rajan, All of us(those who were in the conference call) are waiting for the treat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Waiting for ICS

 

As the ICS update for my phone is available, I am eagerly waiting to connect my phone to a good speed internet connection. Instead, Currently Gingerbread is the most popular android version. Still more than 60% of the people use Gingerbread.

ICS  comes with some added features :

• Smart Lockscreen - Now we can interact with messages & recent events, play & manage tracks without even unlocking the phone.
• Face Recognition - Now we can unlock the phone using the face recognition. But for this your phone must have a front facing camera. Unfortunately, my phone lacks it so I won't be able to use this feature. :(

• Modified Dialer - When you start typing your friends’ numbers, your phonebook will automatically start finding them for you.

 

• Quick response for incoming calls - When you are busy you can reject calls with a text messege & let the people know what are you doing.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Well, there are many other changes made in ICS but these are the changes that I found most interesting & waiting to use these features asap.

USB 3.0

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It came into existence in January 1996 as USB 1.0. After that USB 1.1 & USB 2.0 were released. Now the era of USB 3.0 has arrived. USB 3.0 was released way back in 2008 but its still not so popular.

The major advantages of USB 3.0 are :-

• Super-Speed - USB 3.0 works at Super-Speed ( i.e. 5Gbps ~ 625MB/sec ) unlike USB 2.0 which works at High-Speed ( i.e. 60MB/sec ).
• Bidirectional - Unlike previous versions where data can only be piped in one direction at a time, USB 3.0 can read and write data simultaneously.
• Backward compatibility - Our existing USB 2.0 gear will work on version 3.0 ports and vice versa. We will be able to maximize our bandwidth when using a USB 3.0 cable with USB 3.0 devices and ports, otherwise plugging a 3.0 device into a 2.0 port or a 2.0 device into 3.0 a port will get us standard USB 2.0 data rates.
  Since the new interface has been carefully planned from the start to peacefully co-exist with its predecessor, the connector itself remains mostly the same with the four USB 2.0 contacts in the exact same location as before. Extra pins for the new lanes dedicated to transmit and receive SuperSpeed data are located on the back and only come into contact when mated with a proper USB 3.0 port.

Login to your Facebook account with different passwords.

As we all know that we can login to our facebook accounts by different usernames like your email id, registered mobile no. or your username. But do you know that we can also login to our accounts by using different passwords. Yes, its true. I found it on a blog. We can use three different passwords to login.

1. The main password that you use to login.
2. Now if u toggle your password between upper case & lower case then also it will work fine. Say, if your password is "ItsMeSumit" then if you toggle the cases as "iTSmEsUMIT" then also it will work.
   This facility is provided by facebook because in case, your caps lock is accidentally on then the password typed by you will be toggled. So, facebook allows these type of human errors.
3. If your password starts with a lower case character, then if u type the first character in upper case, then also it will work. Say, if your password is "itsmesumit" then "Itsmesumit" will also work. This facility is provided to resolve the issue with some handheld devices. Since some mobiles automatically convert the first character you type to the upper case.

2G! 3G! GPRS! GSM! Edge! HSDPA! A Brief Explanation.

Mobile networks! Right now it has become a part of our lives. We can't think of life without mobile networks. However most of the people are confused with the differences between them. I was also confused about all these things. But now these things are quite clear to me.
Right now the most important & the most widely used is the GPRS.

 

GSM

Initially GSM modems came into existence. Does anyone remeber the times we used those horrible 56K modems to connect your desktop to the internet by plugging it into your phone line?  Well at first thats how it was done!  Very low data rates of 10kbps and also the fact that we paid for the time we used the service were the main down points of this.

 

2G/GPRS

However with the take up on mobile phones rapidly increasing we saw the switch to digital networks which allowed for better call quality and the SMS service. We started to see the potential for data to be sent using them. 2G was born in the form of GPRS. This allowed data to be sent over a network that was a lot more optimised for data communication.
GPRS was and still is a little bit slow at no more than about 114kbps and unless you have a class 3 device, it can’t support sending data at the same time as a GSM voice call is in session.  However this is more than enough for many peoples needs, even today and to add weight to that, the first iPhone was a GPRS device.

 

Edge/2.5G

3G was on the way but we saw one more incremental step before this was rolled out.  Edge, eGPRS or 2.5G was a technology that gave us 3 fold better data rates with typical 400kbps being heralded by Cingular in the USA by using better coding methods than GPRS.  However 120-200kbps is probably more realistic.

 

3G

Finally full 3G was released and it not only gave us more reliable faster data rates of up to 384kbps but it’sbased upon a far better better platform that allows syncronous voice and data usage.  With 3G browing the web performing more media intensive data work becamse a reality and in some cases still rivals some broadband connections we have in out homes.

 

HSDPA and 3.5G, 3.75, 4G

Currently HSDPA is the standard for most mobile phones.  Running at 1.3mbps it rivals most broadband connections and networks are being upgraded across the UK to run at speeds of up to 7.2mbps, coined 4G.
We’re now even starting to see our first 4G devices in the HTC 4G MAX, although we’re actuallky seeing a trend in 3.75G HSUPA devices being released at the moment, which are actually HSDPA devices but with improved upload speeds too.

 

HSPA is it a spelling mistake!

Well no and HSPA and also evolved HSPA or HSPA+ are all new acronyms in the 3G world.  I’m not going to get technical here, but these protocols are basically the next step in the mobile networks upgrade path.  HSPA (Downlaod) and HSUPA (Upload) are pretty much implemented now and devices taking advantage of this can now theoretically reach speeds of 14MBPs on the downlink and 6MBPS up, some networks in the world have reported even more than this.  HSPA+ further enhances this up to 80 & 22 MBPS which is now surpassing broadband speeds.
With 3.5G, 3.75G, 4G and now HSPA we really now have no excuse to be connected to the Internet where-ever we go and its only a matter of time before the PDA or mobile phone truly becomes the data tool of choice as our lives become ever mobile.

One Month to Go. The Countdown Begins.

Finally the countdown begins as only 1 month to go before I will enter into the corporate world. I am eagerly waiting for that day when I will officially become a TCS'er.
When this long vacation(Almost 3 months) started, I thought how these days will pass by. But today when only one month is remaining, the days are starting to fly. I am also a bit scared about the life to come, when I think of those who have already joined like Abhay, Debraj, etc. They are so busy in Accenture that their social life has just ended.

When this vacation started I planned so much, that I will atleast complete 3 subjects Operating System, Java & DBMS but when only 1 month is remaining I am not in a position to say that even I have read more than 2-3 chapters of any of these subjects. Yesterday, when I opened the DBMS book & had a look over what are the things that need to be read, I found that there are lots of chapters & I don't have that much time to study all those. Really I have wasted 2 months. I am sure that this last month will also be a waste.

These days I am generally spending my time on Facebook, viewing features & reading reviews of mobiles phones & laptops on flipkart. Sometimes I am also searching different different things on google like
Internet TV, Tablet PCs, etc. I was using the term BRAVIA for so long but yesterday I knew that its an acronym & it stands for "Best Resolution Audio Video Integrated Architecture". Most of the time I am googling the salaries of different companies especially TCS, about Salary hikes, etc.
The best timepass is browsing various smart phones...

As a preparatory step in waking up early in the morning, from today Me & Sourish started morning walk. I don't know exactly the distance covered by us today but it took nearly 1hr 30mins. Don't know how many days it will continue. But hoping for the best. :)

I guess this last month will not be too long for me. After this I am going to be screwed literally... I will try to enjoy the most of this last month.

Unemployed after getting a Job

Now as my college life is over, No more classes, No more bunks, No more classroom masti, simply it feels like everything is over.. :(
I am UNEMPLOYED! :(
Since my final year result is also out (on 23th July), now I am officially not a part of NSEC.. Anyways its a part of life. It was really tough for me when I was leaving the college, but as time passed I really managed to cope up with these things. The day when I was leaving my flat was really memorable. Dumbsheraaj was also awesome.
I got some real good friends like my flat mates, Alisha, Debraj, Prashant, Pritam.. in my college life. I hope they will always be in touch.
I almost spent this whole month in kolkata. My mobile made me suffer a lot.

The most memorable day of this month was the 13th of Friday. :)
But It was really very tough to say goodbye.. God knows when we will meet again..

Friends who have joined accenture have been real busy these days. They don't have time to call. Some haven't yet given their contact no. I guess, I will be in a position to understand their busyness only when I will join TCS. Yesterday once again someone realized me that I am really impatient.. :(

Really, when you have works to do, Time passes very fast & when you have nothing to do, it takes ages to pass a single day..

Eagerly waiting for 10th September. I also want to earn some money. Life has turned eventless...

End of College Life

Finally its the end of my college life. Today I gave my last exam of the last semester of my life. This was the first time, instead of being happy I was really very sad. It felt like everything is gone.
I really don't know how these four years passed. Now its time to say goodbye to many of my real best friends. I don't know how I will fulfill their absence. I don't know with whom I will share everything.
Today in college I was seeing the faces of my friends and I was thinking that I am never going to see him/her again. This feeling was really very bad. :( :(

Whole day I was full of these types of bad bad thoughts. I never thought that leaving college will be so much painful.
Really its very hard to say goodbye. Today Ashish went home & I was really not able to say him GOODBYE. I don't know when I will be able to see him again. But where ever he is now or he will be, I wish for his happiness.

Really Friends are one of the most important part of life. Without friends life is empty. Without friends you can't even enjoy.
Its really very hard to see all your friends are going away... But its a part of life. ..

" Its not the goodbye that hurts but the flashbacks that follow... :( "

Yet Another Assignment

After a long time being away from studies, today we got our new assignment related to our 4th yr project.
We job is to get familiar with the very well know software MATLAB (Matrix-Laboratory). In order to do this we have to read only the help of the software. Not only this we also have to demonstrate one of the algorithms using this MATLAB. I don't know why sir believes on us so much. He gave us a weeks time to complete this. Hopefully we all(except some) will try to do this in best possible way. Let's see what we can do in a weeks time.

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 will be more interesting further.

Finally today our  LAN was repaired. After a long period I was able to connect to our NSEC KHILLI SERVER (Our CS server) but since I was connected through wireless so the latency was too high & I was not able to enjoy CS.. :(
I don't know what has happened to my roomie, daily since he is awake his lappy is on  & the LAN wire is always in his lappy till he doesn't sleep. I just can't ask him for the wire and so I am not able to play CS.. :'(

Second Consecutive Day of Masti

Today is just the second day that I have reached kolkata. And continuously for these two days two different places. Yesterday Esplanade & today South City.. :)
Having too much fun. Today we (Me, Ashish & Rajan) went also went to spencers. We purchased three different deodorants. Interesting thing was that both Ashish & Rajan bought deo for the first time. :P :P
Apart from all these fun I realized that Ashish was just lost in some different world.
In support of the above statement I am sharing a short incident. Me & Ashish planned to go to South City today so in order to reach there we had to take a bus (45 A/B) from Garia station. So we walked through our mess to garia station. But after reaching garia station we knew that we had to board 45 A/B bus. But Ashish was lost somewhere else & I don't know why instead of looking for the bus he asked an Auto (Garia stn. to Main Garia) driver "DADA KONTA JAABE". As soon as he asked this he realized that he was simply out of his mind & was lost somewhere else in the world of dreams... :)

One more day passed and I learned nothing new. Days are passing too quickly here.
I also started a new novel today "The Day Of The Jackal". Don't know how many pages will I be able to read. But till now I found the novel interesting.

TTYtter

This term was totally unknown to me till today. But thanks to Shoubhik that I heard this word for the first time.
Then I googled for the meaning of this word.
TTYtter is a console based twitter client. We can use twitter through the terminal(Linux terminal since TTYtter is linux based) using TTYtter. It is used not just for posting tweets, but has advanced options like any other well-known Twitter desktop client.
It is not an application but it is a python script that allows us to use twitter through the terminal.

Back to Kolkata

Finally after everlasting holidays(15 days approx.) I m back to kolkata which now seems to be real home for me.
My train was at 8:05 in the morning & my brother's train was at 9:33 in the morning(he was returning from home to bokaro - His temporary residence). We both left home together. And due to the greatness of Indian Railways, my train arrived around 50 minutes after my brother's train.

But after reaching kolkata I was amazed when I saw my watch. I reached kolkata atleast 1 hr early from my expectations. This is ather greatness of India Railways. :D

For the first time the journey from home to kolkata was not too tiring. I was trying to read a novel(Just for time pass not for interest) in the whole journey but was able to read only about 40 pages.
After reaching here(at my mess) I felt that everything was normal except one of my friend was totally disturbed. :(
I have never imagined that he will change is this drastic manner. I just hope that he will be better soon & I will find my friend back. :)

Nostalgia

Last day at home. :'(
Feeling too nostalgic. Why this happen always, on the last day that we dont want 2 go back... And this feeling comes only after purchasing the return ticket. :-(

I hope after returning back I will not waste time like this instead I will do something fruitfull.

Today is the birthday of 2 of my friends. Among them 1 is too busy to take any call & for the other I promised him that I will meet him today but due to this cold weather I think that I will break my promise.. :-(
Nyways I hope for a very good future for them ahead..

Intresting fact :
Today during my packing (For returning to kolkata) I realized that my knapsack was full of eating items. This will be the first time that I will be carrying so much eating items.
The intresting fact is that these items (All of them) belongs to my roomie who is very much popular for his ability to eat among all the friends. Today he has again proved that why he is so famous.. :-D
No one can match his ability. :P
As I always say him "DOST AAP BOHOT BARE BHUKKAR HO"... :D

Boring Days

Yet again a very bad, boring & eventless day. Simply nothing to do & due to continuous rain also not able to go outside. Day was so boring that I was not able to get any interest in movies too. Tried to watch 2-3 movies but was not able to watch any of them more than 10 mins. :( :(
Those who are placed in Accenture are too busy these days and we(especially me) TCS placed are just not able to find anything to do. Got too much bored with the holidays. Now I will be back to Kolkata most probably on 4th. My friend is also waiting there for me to return so that I can give some moral support to him as well as he will help me in the preparation of GATE.

Happy New Year 2012

This year [2012] I took the resolution to start blogging. First of all I was not able to decide what type of blog it should be. But finally I thought to write a blog through which I will share all my new experiences, learning’s and anything that will happen in my life.
Starting a new year with a lot of hopes. I hope this year will bring a lot of happiness & a lot of exciting things to learn.



Day Full of Rain :
Beginning of this year was full of rain. I guess all the plannings of those who planned for picnic today have been totally ruined. Its raining raining and still raining…….. Was not able to go out today.. :( But the weather is simply perfect for sleeping. :)
Feeling to drowsy..

A hand in cooking :
Today for the first time I cooked something under the guidance of my younger brother (Sudeep Nandi). Chicken was the object under experiment .. :D And the final output of the experiment was CHILLY CHICKEN. The dish was bad at all to eat in fact it was quite delicious. Thanks to my brother for teaching me a nice recipe ..
Now my brother’s suggestion is to try this recipe in my mess.. Hope my mess mates will love it. :)

Whole day was fit & fine but there was a sad part. I was a bit sad about one of my friends. He is totally disturbed after last night. I hope he will be all right soon. :(
