The Saga of 3 Months…!!!

So here comes the story of 3 months , so much of drama , love , friendship, travel n etcetera...

Mumbai Travel:

First it all started with the official travel for one month from March 21st to April 20th to Mumbai regarding project training … And yeah finally into the project from Feb 23rd onwards and on a business travel… It was a hectic schedule and was going tough … Got some really good friends in the project hoping to build a strong bond… We all were provided with a top class accomodation from our company and it was all really good and enjoyed the posh life for the shorter period… We are totally 5 from chennai and during the free weekends that we had we went to Shridi baba’s temple,A movie (Ayan ) in the Hub, Juhu beach, Gateway of India and Fashion street. It was all fun and missing Mumbai except for the Parents, friends and food… And food yeah for the people from South to North its really a big headache … After all these things to the worst part im the only guy in the team… Lots of misunderstandings within the team members and lotsa dramas and it was all the teachings of life and about the people…At the end of the training, the exam was conducted and i was one among the 7 members who cleared at the first go…  Everything that happens in our life has a purpose and this travel too had thought me many things and finally helped to me get my lady love and more appropriately realize the love of my life… And yes myself and my girl we both being together from the first day of our corporate career realized our love here in Mumbai and expressed our interest to each other … It was a great splendid, wonderful, beautiful, romantic and memorable moment of my life…  and again some dramas happen after that finally the day 18th april  came for the return and we are in Chennai on 20th April and busy with the Project. The machine life has started and dominating the life letting us have only few hours to spend with the parents and friends. The Hope, Confidence n Courage everything seemed to have been pumped up and heading towards the search of the successful path…!!!

After a long time…!!!

After a long time i tasted the freshness of air tonight outside… it was a nice cool weather totally n also rained a bit during the day… N now at some 11 pm , i just went out n stood in my balcony and i could smell the tastefulness of the air, as i had used to during ma childhood when the pollution was bit low compared to today’s world… It gave me a nostalgic feeling and a pleasureful night…!!!

Nature is Ultimate…!!!

Separation – the worst pain ever…!!!

Separation is one of the hardest and heart breaking pain that one could ever have… Right now im at the receiving end of this pain… 6 of my close friends who got trained along with me , who started their corporate career along with me were asked to resign their job yesterday ( ie 24/02/2009) which is a lay off…Many of  their hopes , ambitions n everything got dismantled…Don’t know what will happen to the rest of us… It was like almost 7 months that we have been together , shared a lot of memories and now fearing whether they will forget me in future… If humans had been created with no emotions , sentiments then it would have been better but still its impractical … and now im feeling the pain and its killing …!!!

Beauty of nature!!!

Today after a long time, i got up at 5:30 am. I am alone in the home…!!!

I just went and stood in the balcony of my room to get some fresh air. It was a very pleasant morning with the natural music of bird’s gigglings and still the sun didn’t open up and it was a scenic beauty with the trees waving along with the wind in that about to rise occasion. I was chuckling, enjoying that remarkable experience…!!!

Period of illness…!!!

While training and interviews were going on in one end … my health got affected cuz of an infection in ma umblical cord … Went to almost all known doctors , everyone said it needs to be operated … My parents were too much worried about this and they were broken … Finally a pinch of hope came after we got a suggestion from my cousin to meet a doctor named Selvarangam … He is almost 75 yrs old and has more than 40 yrs of experience … He gave us hope by saying that it can be treated without any operation … i was like having my review every 7 days and it almost went for some 4 months (september – december) … and finally even he told that it needs to be operated as it didn’t get reduced … and my parents were indulged in all the other ways like going to baba’s temple every week, etc  for it to be avoided …  and finally when we went to doctor to  get the date for the operation, the doctor examined and said that its getting reduced now  so lets wait for some 10 more days and re examine the condition … And finally after 10 days it was completely gone n im back to normal…some miracle happened and my parents were too happy that ma operation got cancelled…!!!

Anguish…!!!

Yesterday (03/02/2009), i dono why i was very much distressed with mental pain about the job i was doing … the so called testing… I hate it really… may be im not into the real world of testing i dono… but for whatever im doing stating as being in testing , i hate it… I dono on whom to show my anger , pain for being in this very boring and unchallenging field …

I even showed my anger on my family members  dad , mom ,ammama , sister and also on my little niece without knowing what i was doing….

Now im feeling bad and shameful for what i have did…

i also told my mom that i don like the job that im doing and im supposed to do something else… and told her let me quit the job, but words  not from the whole heart seeing my other friends who are still waiting to get a job… she tried to console me and also advised me not to do anything without interest and asked me to quit if i don like … she is very supportive you know after all she is my mom…!!!

But still i couldn’t control my anguish inside …!!!

Waiting and hoping for a change…!!!

Training and interviews!!!

So after all the turmoil , testing training started on september 25th with 25 members … It went on for one week, again had some fun during the training period … After training got over, we were on bench again waiting for the project  On 8th Oct 2008, myself along with 4 of my batchmates were asked to attend for an interview in one of our branches  for the testing services Horizontal team, different from usual project scenario… it involves R&D kind of stuff… Out of 5, 3 of us moved on to next round of interview with testing services project manager Mr. Rajesh… I was the first one to be interviewed by him… Interview longed for some 15 mins…He is one of the best interviewer i have attended so far… I was not selected as only 2 were required, other two friends Vivek and Meyappan got selected and again i was moved on to bench…After a week, on Oct 14th 5 members were asked to attend interview for a project called TriZetto… Unfortunately i was not able to attend the interview on that day as i was not feeling well … i told the HR and got the permission to attend for the same next day ie on 15th Oct … also got an appointment from the TriZetto’s Project manager Mr.Srini to attend the next day… So i went there attended interview, 2 of the Project leads Mr.Daniel and Mr. Suresh  accompanied Mr.Srini for interviewing me … I enjoyed myself in the interview and attended it with full confidence… talked about politics, charity ,Kung fu ,Hitler etcetera in the interview…  I still remember the sentence said by project manager that when he asked ” Do you have any questions for us”, I  asked “What’s next…?”… He replied ” we were afraid of you , do you have any contacts with any politicians…?”… and they asked me to wait outside and said they will let me know … Out of curiosity , i called the HR Mr.Karthik and asked will i be in or again i will have to attend some other interview…? .. He said that he jus now have spoken with Srini and he is satisfied with my performance …n also he said that  don’t leak out the information as officially its not out yet… By the time , Out of 4 who have attended the previous day only one girl got selected , So another batchmate of mine also my sister Prathyusha was asked to come on the days closing moments to attend for the same Project’s interview… She came along with Deepthi one of ma batchmate also the one who have attended the interview the previous day… To our happiness , ma sister got selected for the same project but on the sadder side Deepthi came to know that she was rejected and she was broken… We tried to console her but still cudn’t…

So from next day onwards we were asked to report to  Mr.Srini in DLF IT park where the Syntel’s office resides…

Height of laziness…!!!

I would portray myself as an epitome of laziness…!!!

As it is evident that my last post was on Oct 2008, and after that each time i have thought of writing new post, some way or the other the negative thing in me, so called laziness dominated me and pushed me back from doing it so…

But i have to admit that i felt very much incomplete for i didn’t continue to write … So im starting to write my so called online journal again with this new post in this new year 2009…!!! 

Staring this year with this lazy post to break the laziness in me and to come out with all the determination, hope and belief to create wonders and happiness in the coming days…!!!

Unexpected turn …from “Getting into Development” to “Testing”!!!

hmmm im back with this post after a long time… So how it all happened to testing..?

On 24th September , Ms.Shobana ,testing trainer came to our training room with the list of people who ll be attending the training in testing… unfortunately or fortunately myself and other 4 who were moved to bench were also included in the list… i was totally disappointed with this and dono wat to decide only at tat time… i called my friends and also one of ma mentor n guide u can say Mr.Karthik… everyone advised me not to take up testing… so was totally depressed n was getting info from everyone regarding this…Next day ,hr from testing services Karthik was about to meet us all… he came n asked us whether we are really interested or not n told us that “we don want to change your career itself ,n also we don’t want you people to regret after getting into testing for not getting into development” … he is one of the guy with good character u know… he gave us that freedom to decide on our own n get back to development … i straight away said to him that i am not interested in testing … he told that he ll talk with Deepak ,ex reporting manager and ll make us talk with him regarding this… along with me after hearing all the lectures from karthik 3 other friends Spandana,Prathyusha n ratna also opted out of testing n we went n spoke with Deepak… the major turn took here… Deepak advised for some 30 mins, brainwashed n did everything to make us take testing itself again…I felt it was useless talking with him again n just took whatever is destined to me n started ma testing training…!!!
