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. :(
