So it's time to enter the professional world.After 4 years of struggling with Electronics I am finally entering an IT company.Well,to be frank i don hate IT world.But the more
attractive thing as far as I was concerned was that 3 months of training was @ Trivandrum ,which means I can stay back in my God's own country for another 3 months.Happy !!
So I boarded Jana shadabthi express with my dad from Thrissur station at 4 o'clockon 20th June 2010.Reached Trivandrum central by around 9.It's my second visit to Trivandrum, intial visit being during my 9th standard picnic.Me n dad stayed in a hotel nearby railway station for the night.Next day we started early in the morning and reached TCS campus around 7 30.Nidhal called me up n told he'll be there in 5 mins.So I waited for his arrival.But in between I noticed boys n gals moving inside the so called Hostel. So I thought that boys n gals hostel were inside same compound. Soon Nidhal arrived.As soon as he arrived we entered our names in the register and told the guard that we want one room.He rejected instantly ! :P . There is nothing like that here..As people come,rooms get filled..that's it !
He directed us to a small room inside.There a lady was sitting.She asked us to check our names in the list.Actually she was responsible for the room allotment.As soon as we realized that, we requested her mildly.She too rejected.But mildly this time.So it was time to use our trump card ! Malayalam ! We requested her in Malayalam.She didn reject this time.She just smiled and gave us the Key.Both key had number 157.We smiled back ! and said Thanks :) Advantages of mallus in Mallu-Land :) We proceeded with our luggage to room no 157.In the mean time I called up Satish.He said he was already on his way downstairs(he got his room in 3rd floorn ours was on 1st floor).I told him to come to room no.157.So we went in search of room no.157.We followed the room no.s and finally reached the 150's lobby..Okk.But 1 thing again I noticed gals were still roaming around!
I told Nidhal ,Dude it seems to be a mixed hostel.
He replied,'Yaa, daa'With lot of enthusiasm !
As we were opening our door a gal came out from the nxt room ! 'Damn !',It is a mixed hostel !! Nxt 5 mins many other gals came out from neighbourng rooms.
I told him,"We have a lot of girls living in our neighbourhood".!
Nidhal,"Ohh,Yeah',with a really cool smile.
Soon Satish arrived with Ritesh and Varun..all were well dressed like proper IT professionals.So it was time to leave for the first day of training @ Peepul Park.I soon changed my shoes and just freshed up and we too accompanied Satish to the 'Temple of Learning'.As I was entering the main center my mobile rang.It was my dad's call.Soon guard near by caught me n said,"Mobile is nt allowed in this campus'.
I repled,'Wat ?'
He made it clear n told me,"Nxt time if I find mobile with you,you won't get it back'.
I was really dumstuck.It's jus 15 mins since I arrived at TCS campus n I have already one 'Last warning' !!
Well I started to get a feel of the totally dump ILP rules.
We got into a big lecture hall.It was better than the college ones as it had A/c n really comfortable seats.We entered and occupied sm seats in the 3nd section from the entrance may be 3rd or fourth row from the top.Curiously I took a look around abt the other faces.I expected a lot of mallus as it was in Trivandrum.But it didn look soo.I could see Sardars n all.Okk..Ist session started soon.First session was by whom..I really don remember.Sm bdy from outside TCS,TVM only. That session wasn't that interesting.But the next session was by the Admin of TCS,TVM.It was a really entertaining session.He cracked a lot of jokes.
Following that many similar sessions followed and the most boring of all came from Shafeeq Ahemed.Only thing he had to say was 'TCS has only Do's and consequences :P'.That day before lunch.We had our Document verification.T06 & T07 had their document verification together while T08 & T09 had theirs together.So me and Satish went together to the concerned place.As usual we sat sm wer behind.We started observing the other ppl closely and started commenting abt them.After sm time two guys came inside.From the first look I could make out that they were of my kind-mallus.They asked us to arrange our docments in sm particular order so that they can speed up the verification process.Among the list they showed I lacked 2 things;8th Sem GPA card and Provisional though I had my passing certificate with me.
One guy was realy short tempered..ooohh..One sec..I forgot to introduce to sm elite ppl.Before coming for document verification Class Representatives were elected.Well 2 CRs were elected 4 each batch.Well..as far as T09 was concerned It was a guy who looked like a Nawab and a gal who looked as if she's has jus passed her 10th.I didn know their names then.
Now back to our current scene..Document verification..When my number came, I went to him with my documents.He verified them,but as Provision was missing he wrote there,Not complete.After document verification we had to update our names and % in BE in sm XL sheet.Till that moment I was fine with the fact that I was in TCS despite the fact that I'm a BIT graduate.But then I saw sm thing written on that XL sheet which drove me really crazy.Sm bdy had put their qualification as diploma.Dude..that was too much.Both are weighted same in TCS.Bullshit !!! Me n Satish went totally crazy after seeing this n that was the inspiration for many of our crazzy deeds in TCS :P
