At Last!!!

Many people ask me y at Last??

Beginning from
Google(turned out to be Rofus) - couldn't clear JAM

Then on attending whatever comes over:
Infosys - Freak out HR show
Genpect - Over qualified
Apollo Health Street( NIIT ) - Encouraged me, may be next year(as it only for 2011 passouts)
ZenQA - Not much testing stuff

At Last its DELL, where all those experiences turned out to be useful ;-)

I say its the patience that paid off :-)...Wait for the better opportunity to come over...

JKC Infosys recruitment drive

This journey started from 5:30 am.Having travelling 4 hrs to reach INDUR, lost patience out there. But had some snack and refreshed. Starting with Pre-Placement talk( No one is interested, everyone watching out for the test to begin)

The test was over in some 1hr 15 mins. They said the results will be out by 2:30pm please wait near same place.Now its 1:00 pm, so there was time left for lunch. As, I was feeling hungry had my lunch soon and got assembled over the same place they specified.

At 3:00 pm person entered into the tent....at once there is pin drop silence in the room.... he has a paper in his hands!!! Every one Watch out!!!!

He stated that there are only 102 members qualified for further round i.e. HR...soon started reading out the selected list names! Few minds past.. the list is over.. those whose names were out.. left with smiling faces.. actually ran.. ran where ? I didn’t bother.

In ten more mins… another paper came! The so called LIST.. he read them out! My name wasn’t there!!

What the F*** Am I so worthless.. I felt so ashamed! More surprised… then came list 3. Again- my name wasn’t there. 

In another 2 mins ! the list 4 has turned up.. it was 3:40.. A man.. who made us wait for so long.. whom I cursed so hard.. shouted.. Sai kiran Kotha. I attended yes sir.. ! The dragon now looked like a God  to me. I ran just like everyone else whose names were called not knowing where.

Another guy at the entrance pointed out, please go to the Block 4 building you have an interview round there! I stressed ‘NOW?’ He stressed back ‘yes NOW!’ I walked.. Actually ran.. Now an interview.. again my stomach is feeling empty.. Thinking how will I face the interviewer now! Am looking like a dog who just played football in mud (I don’t know if dogs play football) and there is no water to least wash my face! I grinned at myself.

Everything was going in an order. People are in line. Few rooms lit and seriousness all around. There were people to help, to learn where you have to walk towards, to me  where I have to run towards.

I was stopped by a person! Sit down.. he ordered. I sat down on the bench outside those lit rooms, waiting for my call. A couple of students also got added up in few seconds beside me.  A student just rushed out.

I asked him out of more anxiety and less concern.. How was the interview? What did he ask.. he said.. well I am from ece.. So he questioned me about how I like my subject ? my hobbies ? what projects have I done ?

At 6:00 pm  I let myself in.. greeted eachother...

Answered

She starred at me attentively..

Oh.. cool.. what else you do along with your engineering..

I continued ....

She went back to my resume.. so sai, you mentioned in your resume that you participated in extra curricular activites.. what have you done..?

I acknowledged back few of my works, hopefully she must be overwhelmed to listen.

( got realised and started to speak again)

This time a huge mistake told the Chairman of infosys as krishnmurthy( actually its narayana murthy found out later)

she caught me again.....no chance of escape....

ohhoooo i thought its enough....even she too might thinking the same way....

She told you may leave now......I gestured back. Nice talking to you.

After 7:00pm the results out ....this time no name in the LIST!!!!its tough luck( not being selected among 80 of 102)....

At last, a total 17 hrs of testing patience little bit disappointed but pattered myself if not infosys try other....;-)

Stephen Hawking couldn't read until he was 8!

Thu, Oct 21

Melbourne, Oct 21 (ANI): Britain's most renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has revealed that he could not read until he was eight years old.

He also said that he was academically idle until he was diagnosed with a form of motor neuron disease.

Hawking, who gave a rare public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall in London, said, "My sister Philippa could read by the age of four ... but then, she was definitely brighter than me."

He added that he was never more than about halfway up the class at school.

"My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers," News.com.au quoted him as saying.

"But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better," he added. (ANI
