Journey towards Infy.

Journey towards Life …..

Hello FrndZ This is Abhi( s h a k e ) …. Thank You 4 ur Vote of Congratulations …..and this goes the whole procedure thru which i had gone 2 make whole things possible …. ” Der Se AAyaa Par AAyaa”

My heartly thankx 2 Dnyanesh Khadke and Sudeep Jamkar 4 whole lot of things provided right 4rm books and their independent help and moreover unconditionally ……and now the stuff ahead will really make u believe that … “ MIRACLES DO HAPPEN … !!! ” It waas 3rd yr. …… CogniZant …….full of joy and madness 2 join the company but we had just started the Agarwal and so can’t clear out the apti itself ….and so lots of Disappointment in the 1st stage only and then came various companies including MBT,HoneyWell , Disha,Persistent , IBM,i-Flex, and many others…. and DISAPPOINTMENT was not leaving me anywhere …..

One stage had occured where i had left out all the things 4 apti and concentrated on our Curriculam but it wasn’t so easy …..since everytime i wud attend any kind of lectures / practicals … just c all my frndZ selected in some or the other companies and it made me really annoyed and everytime i use 2 ask question 2 myself ….”Why this is happening with me ??? “
Also while campus notice use 2 come in class and i use 2 b like really disaapointed hearing ” There is Campus Interview held in MIT on bla bla @ bla bla timings !! ” and use 2 just say “shit yaar ab wapis jaana padenga ” …. i.e. No kind of Excitment was there in me 2 attend any campus and was really tired of them ….and so i got an habbit of not telling 2 parents abt the Campus after Cogni and MBT…..and i use 2 keep my necessary files ,etc 2 Pramod’s house on the previous day and avoid any kind of tensions 2 the HouseMembers ….

And this continued ……although i was doing wrong but mine opinion was … “Why 2 give them TeNSION of all these things ??? I am responsible 4 this and y shud they care ??? ” Also mine mom in too talkative abt these things and she takes a lot more tension than me …..although dad is cool enuf and always says “Better Luck next time “….and mom keeps on asking ” Tu kutha kammi paadthoye ??? Seriously kar naa abhyaas !”
and it made me really emotional than anything else ….
But w8 a minute .. y i m telling all these things 2 u ??? yaar this was main reason …..
Frustration
Frustration
Frustration
this was the word which let me out of all the tragedies …..
And then one day i decided … “Bas bahut ho gaya ……. Bahut natak dekh liye ….. Ab kuch kar dikhana hain ….. Abhi nahi tho kabhi nahi ……………..” and 4rm then onwards the struggle began …..I remember i and khadke had forwarded our resumes 2 company and he got a call and not me but since there was OffCampus conducted in Pune by CalSoft on the same day so we ( Pramod n me ) decided 2 opt. 4 it and we went with khadke and was really terrible XP ….. there were countless no. of Students approx. 600-750 and it was really as depressing moment. On that day i decided , Offcampus is really terribly HARD 2 CRACK !!! and there were many of our classmates …who went with lots of DISAPPOINTMENT…….

We had left Pune on that day itself although Khadke and Rakesh S. were planning 4 stayiing 4 another day but atlast we left @ 10:30 pm and arrived hometown @ 5 am ….Yaah lot’s of boring stuff included in this but “Kyaa kare yaar yahi se tho shurwaat hui hai “ …..”Jab tak tumhe chot nahi pahunchati tab tak Dard kaa aahesaas nahi hota !!! ” File Submission and same tragedy with JNEC had happened which made our college really Famous although it was shameful yet annoying ….. Anyways fastly moving onto …. @that time I decided …..Infy is the last chance and 4 me it was like “Live or Die situation!!” …And @last me and Anna ( Sudeep J.) got the Letter 2 attend 4 the Apti in Pune on 7th May and letter had been deleivered 2 us on 28th April i.e. we had approx 1 week in hand ….and i had really given my 200% …

No Internet No syllabus No Playing No Entertainment

Simply “Shakuntala Devi and 300 Puzzles ……solving whole day …… browsing the Question Papers of Infy ….and that was the whole day work 4 1 week ……although it was really tiring since It was whole about Brains !!!! I mean 2 say is R.S.Aggarwal simply can be read once or twice but u can’t attempt 2 have puzzles 3-4 times ……But what 2 do ….no other solution……..and Special thanx 2 these frndZ :SUDEEP J. for the ultimate luck and perfectly keeping the DOSTI till the END !!!DNYANESH K. for the Shakuntala Devi and 300 Puzzles……( Thanks 4 saving my money dude ..1!!!! )RISHIKESH K. for providing a little help 4 puzzles which he cud simply solve it thru his Master MindTUSHAR P. for providing the confidence in me 1 day b4…
and the whole class who withstanded besides me in every way …….THANKS A LOT be-CSE………………..!!!!!!

And it was the day on 6th April on which we left a’bad and arrived pune @ 10:00 pm and went 2 my Neighbours house ….and simply went 2 Bed 4 the Main Event 2 b held 2morrow…..and we got up early @ 5:30 am and @ 7 am we left and arrived VIT @ 8:00 am and was simply gr8 XP ….there were around 650 students who had got the call letter and there so many 4rm our college 4rm EXTC branch and IT …..and many more …..
We had started with filling of Initial form @ 9:30 and @ 11 we started with Aptitude Test ( Puzzles ) …Most horrible XP since u’ve no option ….so can’t use the coins like “SARDARJI’s ” there was just a blank space left after the questions and we’ve 2 write in Ans correctly …..
I had managed 2 attempt 7 questions out of 10 …. don’t exactly remember how many marks but i’ve solved questions of all type of marks like 3/4/6/8 ….and then there was ENGLISH section which was really simple but was very time consuming coz of various Paragrahs , etc …… Then came out after the trajec 2 hrs and discussed with Anna and got some of the ans matched and just w8ed 4 the results which they told 2 display @ 4 …but they were nice and displayed it by 2:30 pm and we were just sitting in classroom in VIT which were very boring although campus was nice but there was no place 2 sit around like in our Heaven …..

By the time we had forgotten 2 take our lunch in knowing the result …..and so just sleeping played a bit Hollywoos bollywood in the class with Anna ….and then suddenly there was crowd accumulated in campus and Results were out !!!!! …..we had simply No Expression and nearly assumed 2 leave on that day itself after the lunch …but luckily things won’t happen …. I was lookin around my name in the 3 lists displayed with very bad Handwriting and so cant get immediately …..and while i was lookin ….anna told me ” Abhishek u r the 1st !!! “……..i was simply fainted and no XPression on my face i told him ” Abey !!! Yaar phir se dekh naaa !!!! ” ……..Then i saw it. …. and was really HeartRobbing XP …..i mean u can’t even imagine or even brilliant student can’t say that he/she will b 1st among the 650 students ……..that also 4rm various background ……and in simple terms ……IT WAS REALLY GR8 eXPERIENCE …..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna wasn’t shortlisted but he just had came 4 trial since he had a job .. Disha ..!!! although i was no were and so i told him …i had different conditions than u ….and so many stufff……and he was disappointed but he didn’t show off …..and …..i simply manage 2 Xplain him that it was a must 4 me than u …!!!And then we went 4 chinese since it was abt 3′o clock ….and had 1. Hakka Noodles & 2. Shezwan Rice it was also simply gr8 ….. and we came back home till 4 and had tea and slept off …….Then we decided 2 go 2 Anna’s Bros…… who in Infy 4 3 yrs and since he was leaving in Aundh so it wud b better 4 us 2 catch 4 interview ……Yaah they have called us 4 interview in Infosys , Hinjwadi .!!!!and we were somewhere in Swargate so too long distance ….so to avoid the morining QUICK schedule we decided 2 goto Aundh and so we left @ 10 ….and reached there till 10:30 pm ….and slept in his room ….

In the morning , we directly went thru Infosys bus with him(Sudeep’s Bros !!! Sorry yaar i can;’t rememeber his name since mine memory is very weak .))….which arrived sharp @ 8:15 am ….and we arrived @ stop ….and there also all the employees standing 4 there respective buses …. Wipro , TCS , Satyam , Infy , etc and we went in thru INfy bus without having been selected !!!

Then we were be-sitted in the room and then @ 9 we were called in although sudeep had 2 w8….coz of security reasons …..and it was really Bizzzzzaaaaarrrrrdddd XP c’ing Infy 4rm inside and it’s like HOtel and to my knowledge each soft company is like that …..Simply Big and GR8 …..Moving on to interview , we were allowed 2 w8 4 sometime and @ 9:30 Interviews started off ….1st no. was mine 2 face the hell ….But it was really kool and i cansay that coz i’ve cleared that ….!!!! There was old man and lady ( young )and initially How r u ?? this n that and then started with puzzles which were ask in Apti …and they ask me my approach 2 prob. …..I explained it neatly since it was prob. on ages and then they ask me 2 Give Intro …..that also i manage 2 answer correctly ….and then they ask me puzzle which was not ask in Apti ….but was too hard and can’t answer that ……Do u like reading books ??? yaah this was the quesiton and i answered quite well and they said which books and i answered Reader’s Digest and then they told me 2 narrate a story which u wud have read somewhere in PAST and i made it there itself and Bol di….!!!!!

Atlast they ask me 2 ask any sort of Questions and @ the end they ask 4 CV copy and i came out …and we were told that w8 4 15-20 min …….and aftr that they told us ..”U wud b notified after 3-4 weeks “and we came out with a “Sword hanging around on top of our head ” since it was really tiring XP 2 w8 4 whole month 4 the result since u don’t know what will happen …….But kyaa kare …..INterview tho aachaa huaa …and somewhere i felt ” ki ho jayegaaa ” We left pune on that day itself and touched A’bad @ 11 pm and the other day came 2 college although there was no1 2 share my views and so went 2 NetCafe directly …..by the time PL’s were going on and so another tension comin in …..Final Semister of whole engg course and we were abt 2 move out 4rm the college ..!!!!

Somehow PL’s were gone in w8ing 4 mine results and 28th came on which our exam commenced , and it continued continously with 1 holiday in between and we had a sigh of relief after dwdm since there was holiday of 2 day and only 1 papers CSC was left ….so relaxed a bit …..and somehow exams were over but still there was no any sign of mine letter ….and i started worrying since 1 month had passed and i hav been told that the letter is deleivered in 20-25 days and i was really worried ….
Then came the eXternals and they were also over and finally w8ing 4 21st coz on that day it wud b last day of our college and we wud b moving out in corporate world …..but then suddenly while i was sitting in NetLab …. i received a Letter 4rm Infy …that I am selected !!! and it was the day when i feeled most wonderful event ever happened in my whole engg carrier !!!!!and initially i told Pramod although there was Sardar and Saxena in the house …and i told him is it true just take a look and he congratulated me !!!
And i went out 4 the printout copy of the letter and then came home 2 sandy and he gave me the soft copy which was more nice than the hard 1 and there is reason behind this and that is coz it was colourful !!!!!!I simply relaxed and don’t hav anykind of tension and so really not bothered of the project since ” Woh tho kaise bhi nikal jayega !!! So just start njoying the Life !!!! “
So this was summary of what all things happened !!! Some of u might think , ” Y he is discussing all these with me ? ” and the ans 4 this is ” SHare my X P ” …..u r mine class mates and i m sharing with u ….that’s simple reason and i don’t hav 2oo many frnds so don’t wanna forget u all so 2 keep the frnd’ship Alive ….thru my mails i try 2 come into ur world ….whether u take it +vely or -vely ….just let me in .!!!!!

Feeling better …..???? I’ve missed many of mine frnds so 4 that xtremely sorry ….and i’ve made in the video 4 class as promised using our class pics …and is on the motion 2 distribute it so just come in with a CD 2 have our BE-CSE !!!!Also mine Birthday list 4 the boys is complete and i’ll upload it in 2-3 days .Sorry i don’t have birthdates of all the girls in class and i’ve given this task 2 some1 and she didn’t responded so sorry boys u can’t get the real stuff !!!!!
