realisation

a hi to all my readers who hopefully might have been visiting  the site for a new blog .

This one has been long time coming . Its straight from my heart and it is kinda controversial since it deals with one of my real life incidents. I am not a very cool type . I cant handle a gang of friends like situation unless i like everyone there. otherwise i find it hard to talk something cause i am always afraid i will goof up my image. I had a horrid time in fourth semester when it seemed i had no friends at all. A couple of guys in class put up with me during that time and this article is dedicated to them .

I  have friends but well they are same as me . not cool ones that people like but

they are guys i can easily  talk to or be with for ever . when we had  this industrial visit in fifth semester , I  was going through a peak period at that time making a lot of new friends , i deserted these guys for being in company with the cooler ones. My friends were not of dancing in bus type or yelling names type and i guess i left them to be with people who will do all the above things. The thing is it did not end with the industrial visit. i continued to ignore my true friends in order to say in touch and please the so cool people . i had forgotten the pillars that stood by me when all was lost. I knew i was hurting them . I knew what i was doing though not back-stabbing certainly provided them with almost same amount of pain . Yet i did it .

When the sixth semester happened , this time we had industrial visit to bangalore for four days

and as for me , i had got even more new friends widened my circle but i realised soemthing was amiss.

Ya those dudes may be cool but there was no warmth . I missed that warmth. I realised that i may never have what it takes to be cool or be associated with a huge gang and have fun but i cant lose out people who mean  a lot to me .

People whom i can trust and people whom i care about and i know they will do the same for me .

I  deserted guys who wrote my notes when my hand was hurt ,

helped me do whatever work i did not finish  due to my laziness and always responded to my cries for help .

Well i did go back and appologise to them . I am so bad as to say sorry through a blog but this is just to tell myself that i have come back realising what a big fool i was.if you ever read this , i just want to say sorry from my heart . Thanks a lot for being there with me.

You guys are friends others dream to have . Keep rocking always .

This post is especially to you JC .

CTS-NIKI

i am fresh from finishing my placement procedures . i attended the CTS campus recruitment programme on JUNE THIRD ,2008.

I thought i could share with you all my experiences about the placement .

The first round was an aptitude round . This was divided into three sections

a) Quants

b)Verbal

c)Logical Reasoning

Quants :

this was the toughest portion of the paper . It had twenty five questions to be completed in 30 minutes .

It is not easy to complete  all the sums and hence make sure you stay focused and try to finish as many as possible . there were no negative markings in our paper however I cannot gurantee all C.T.S papers will be of same type .Hence i just solved as many as i could and marked the rest in random manner.

Verbal :

this can easily make or break your dreams .

If you are someone who is strong in English atleast  grammatically can use this exercise to score over their rivals .

It has 10 question on finding out the correct and incorrect sentences  from the given options .The remaining 15 questions are to answered as a reading comprehension exercise. Make sure you practice reading large paragraphs fast in order to solve these questions easily .

Logical Reasoning :

This section had 20 questions to be solved in as many minutes .

It mainly had ’Odd Man out’ questions using a variety of figures .  it also had 5 questions based on reasoning which can be done well if you think with common sense . On the whole the test was pretty much only if you have already prepared quite a bit for your aptitudes.

575 students from my college wrote the Aptitude Examination and 320 got through to the next round.I was one of them. All of us were then asked to attend interviews. I was thee first to be interviewed and it turned out to be for the better. My interviewer was very decent and genuine person . It was very easy to talk with him and hence i got through all tough sections of an interview easily . I was able to answer the questions on my area of interest and this settled the deal. I came out knowing I woudl most probably end up with the job.

I then heard from others  that they were questioned about current affairs and their views on contentious topics . Remember to always stay neutral in case the topic has lot of moral grey areas .Also some of the HR’s asked questions other than the area of interest that was mentioned in order to test the student’s overall ability.

Overall,I would like to say more than your technical knowledge or your aggregate , it is the confidence with which you handle the interview that makes CTS select you .When attending any interview for that matter always stay confident that you will crack the test .

CTS selected 202 students from my college and ended the day in a cake cutting ceremony.

So in the end, did i get the job?? Well that’s another story to blog about

MNM — rUleZ

First the facts that are required.  On 19th March, 2008 the ECE Dept of MNM Jain college located somewhere on the Old Mahabalipuram Road ,attracted us students to bunk our usual boring college class and have some fun instead. I guess fun is what we got since, much to our amusement, we found that majority of the competitions were rigged.

It got more funnier, when the organisers of one event told the participants that they would get prizes but the cash prize would be taken up by them, in exchange for getting the winning certificate.

This concept of favouring  our friends in symposiums has been occuring for a long period of time . No  college is free from leaks regarding format of event, the answers to important questions or even rigging the results of preliminaries  in  order to ensure our friends get through but i guess ,even cheating when kept at a small rate can be forgiven . The experience we obtained from this college in particular, where participants not selected for finals were called , names deleted and others names added  and so on . Having been a part of the group that conducted  a symposium , i can understand it is difficult to contain yourself from being tempted onto forcing your friends , however you just need to grow up to do it. Just have to be sensible and do our job .

I hope in future the concerned college better get  its act together or else it is going down the dumps.

whats life

this time its going to be a really different topic . Lets talk a more sobre topic -LIFE. This whole thing about life is that ask any guy in college — they say life sucks. ask in school-they say life sucks.ask people i mean adults working hard for their bread and butter–life sucks. When it sucks so much why do we try to survive?? Just cause some monkey -brained scientist gave it–THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST’ does not mean we need to try and live doing things so that the previous one sucked a lot ,this one s better . NO NO NO. If you are living a life without interest ,you will survive . But if you have great ambitions , then you have to watch out for the innumerable difficulties that come on your path. I guess ,as students in India,there is no scope of intelligent learning.I guess this is the main reason why life sucks for us though this is supposed to  be the happiest phase of life. Come on,if this is the happiest phase of life ,then life is not worth living . Everywhere, there is a monotomy. Your life becomes a periodic waveform eg-say sine wave with a lot of ups and downs but we never know which is up and which is down . People in relationships would tell me ,yes my life is worth living cause i can spend some quality time with their counterparts but man i guess its better  being single and enjoying the freedom of it .All the above bickering is only for students from ma part of world with no freedom, dress code for babes  and  having a nerd in every 1 out of  2 persons. so if you guys think you are having a better life enjoy..

p.s– mu blog never gets listed in google what is the use of adding tags????
