Mountain Trek

After getting placed the only thing left was to roam around the campus. The one thing i always wanted to do in college while studying was to run up to the hill behind the campus. One fine day anand wakes me up from bed at 7 in the morning, we have our breakfast in mess and head for the mountain.

We had great time climbing one peak after anohter, in total we climbed 3 peaks behind college.

Called up friends in the campus from the mountain top to cheer them up.

the pics below will show how excited we were all during the climb.
we took eatables with us so that we dont fall off mid way.

reached campus late in the afternoon, hit the bed.

had a nice days outing today

Mission Accomplished

30 November' 05 was mission accomplished in PUNE. coming far from home and hoping for great career materialized that day. The company Birla Soft Ltd. Just a day before that I wasnt able to make it into company I was eager for. Didnt feel much disappointed just felt not my day.

On D day I was totally engrossed in getting ready for one presentation around 3 pm. I had no clue abt the arrival of the company the role they were offering n last the salary. I was abt to walk in for my presentation. My dear saurabh bhayya gives me hint abt the role n growth in the company. I take his advise n sit for the written test. CAT based test, good fortune that day senses prevailed and I got to the strategy which gives good results do things you know first. Some how cleared the written hurdle.

Then came the GD by this time I Changed from my bright orange shirt to white shirt n a tie. I still had my beard on ( scary thought , how would the corporate feel abt it , i was framing excuses for not shaving). GD was also ok " Indian IT Boom crippling manufacturing & engineering industry ". One of my pet topics so I was sure I will clear the GD.

5 people was left in fray for final interview. I rushed to room took a quick shave n got ready for the kill. The interview was done by VP HR n VP Ops of the company so I had my best shot possible. My research work which I did for event at IIM Bangaore ( my earlier post of unfinished dream ) was the trump card for me in the interview. My hard work for 45 days on Indian IT industry was the crux of interveiw. I was able to convince the panel abt my credentials.

After a 20 minute interview I knew I made it. The offer in hand was very good 6.5 lakh pa.
Now trying to figure out how to spend my rest of time in college.

Chennaiiiiiiiiiiii i am coming
