My Last Blog for Infosys!!

Guys here goes my last blog..I may forget to mention all the names..Apologies for that..But do remember my heart remembers all those names..inscribed.. I will never forget all those moments spent with you guys..Spent here in Infosys technologies!!


The Beginning!!

It started with a Tat No.3946.. which is still kept safely by me..
When they called out 2 names of 200 and my name was one of them..the moment was to be cherished..Yeah..The Journey with Infy was marked by that day!!

The Struggle!!

I was not one of those who could lavishly travel in autos as a student!!
Kabhi to aisa hua hai...Ki I have calculated "7+8 while goin..while coming..I take a lift...Then the expense would be reduced..Or do I take a 25 Rs pass.."
I would stand in local busses queues ..with lot of dhakka dhukki around..
Once I stood there in hot sun..Thinking..when will I get a bus..n then..I saw a white bus with blue Stripes passing by..I smiled to myself and thoght "Ab aur kuch din aur..."
Yeah..those were days of struggle!!

The Joining!!




24th September 2007 ..Yeah the Big-day..I stepped into the huge campus..Infosys Bangalore..
I smiled n thought..So finally getting down from the White n Blue bus...
“Sapno ki dunia hai..Ye jagah I thought …”A dream world!!
Ye infy ke tag me koi to jadoo hai!!There is some magic involved..when u wear this tag and walk down ..people look at u like u r a film star(yeah..I have this seen that expression lot of times..n I must say..I loved it)…
Yaha aake dekha..toppers ..people who have topped all their life are sitting beside me..

We were told that less that 2% from a college make it to infy.."Look to ur right n thn look to ur left..faces which u c are those esteemed 2%..They are special..n so r u "..
Well...should not boast about..But yes..Those lines did gimme a high!!

The Training!!

Yeah…It was time to get serious in life..But Wait..who was serious here??
It looked like a college after a college..
IMS_Sept_2007 was the most notorious batch Infosys has ever seen.Yeah..Microsoft training was something fun to be in.. I guess we are the only brats who have been driven into the training class like nursery kids.Yeah..Brats..
There are lot of fond memories ..sweet …sour..bitter..crazy days!!!
That voice n accent training..Nithin’s English..tod marod…
