I love u Buzzzzzzzz

It was a funny experience. As usual, I was signed in my yahoo messenger. Me and Anoop were working in Photoshop. We have to finish the job on that day itself. While we were working Vani came online and buzzed my messenger. Anoop was afraid that I will start the conversation. Vani is our friend and me and vani used to chat for a long time. He immediately closed the window and resumed the work in Photoshop. She buzzed again. Anoop got iritated. Now I immediately closed the window to reduce his irritation. After some time, there was Vani buzzing again. This time Anoop really got angry and told me that he will scold her if she buzzes again. I laughed and we continued our work. At last we have finished our work. Anoop went out of my room to refresh. Now Vani buzzed again for the fourth time. Then we chatted for a small time. I teased her that I am going to watch The Matrix Revolutions which she haven't seen even once. Then we stopped chatting for some time.
Vani always like to buzz in the messenger and she buzzed again for the FIFTH time. Oh! oh! This time, Anoop, Tirupur and many of my class friends are sitting near me. Suddenly a mischevious plan rolled into their head. They pulled me back and held me tight so that I cannot get near my computer and started the fun........
I can see X typing "I". I know what it is. Then he typed "L". Its that only. I got sure. I struggled. But nothing could break the tight hold of those big guys. And it went "I LOVE U" Oh no! He pressed the Enter key. i went through my computer, passed to the internet data center, got mixed in the internet, went to yahoo server and then marched straight forward to Vani's desktop and there it displayed "I LOVE U".Here we were all watching the screen intensively, waiting for her reply. As expected her reply was "WHAT?" Then X typed it again. Now we will get some interesting reply. Everyone was holding their breath. "Come on, Vani. Its not me. You know that", I said to myself. Then came the reply.
"WHO ARE YOU?".
yessssssssssss!!!!!. Thats Vani. She is somewhat smart. I was laughing. Others were dejected. They were thinking of some other replies. But they didn't seem to give up so soon.Mow Mr.Y took the keyboard. He started typing great words and putting words directly from his heart which I know he got from his personal experience. But Vani is really smart. She is sure that its not me. He kept on asking who was chatting with my id. She told them that the words were not on my slang.A great war took between Vani and XYZ. I was laughing all the time. XYZ cannot succeed a bit. Vani is strong that its not me. After half an hour of our chat, we were hungry. I told thats enough and to my surprise they were also tired. "Ok! Thats enough!", they said and the war was over.
In the night she agani came online and I acted as I dont know anything about what happened. We chatted for a while, but I didn't say who were chatting with her.The fun continued the next day in our class. She has told the news to most of the girls and everyone was asking me and tirupur who the culprit is. We were too strong not to divulge the fugitives name. We had fun on this for the whole day and even on the next days.Now it all over. Tirupur was found to be the person and he took the entire responsibility and saved the other XYZ persons. Too generous of him.In the greatest war of all chats, I emerged as the winner. Vani the trusty friend made me win and XYZ can do nothing but surrender. She knows more about the true friendship. Whatever they told her, she was sure that it was not me. Thats Vani, my true friend.

Offer from Integra

The decision is not yet made. But now its time to make the decision. I have got the offer letter for appointment from Integra Micro Systems yesterday. Still dont know what to do. The main constraint is that only after 6 months of training and another 6 months on probation the job will be made permanent. And the salary increase will be made only at the end of first year. The two year bond still troubles my mind much. Our placement officer has told that I may not be allowed to attend on campus or off campus interviews arranged with the help of college. Though thats not much a problem, still there are hopes that Infosys and Hexaware will come for off campus interviews.I am worried that I haven't tried on these companies and confused whether its ok to settle in this company itself.
Life throws challenges daily. Everytime it gives a choice. Its up to you to choose one. Better make it soon and pray thats right......

Dont forget the interview tricks

The day of the interview from Integra Micro Systems, Bangalore. Me and my friend Ravi kumar were waiting outside the interview hall. I already saw many students from other colleges preparing for the interview with many text books like Operating systems, Data structures etc. I just smiled. I just discussed some technical questions with Ravi. And I told him how to behave in the interview hall, as I had attended training sessions by Mr.Suresh Punjabi earlier which he have not. And the time came.
Ravi was called in. I waited outside and I was the next candidate. I tried to remember all the techniques needed to impress the interviewer.
Number one,

Before entering the hall, knock the door gently and open the door and make yourself completely visible to the interviewer and say," May I come in, Please?".

Suddenly, the door opened and a person called my name. I stood up and he asked me come in. He is the interviewer. My first technique went useless. He didn't even gave me a chance to knock the door.
Then, I remembered the second technique.

Dont sit down without being asked.

If he ignores that you are standing, say,

"May I please sit down".

Unexpectedly, while entering the hall itself, he showed me a chair and asked to sit there. Damn. The second technique went off.
And then, the most important one. Mr.Suresh Punjai told us,

"The last impression is the lasting impression".

I have to make an impact while leaving by saying " I have showed you the best of me and I sincerely hope you will consider me for the job. Thank you sir". But again the technique was lost. When the interviewwas over, and I was about to make my lasting impression, he said, " Nice meeting you, Jeykumar. Please inform the next candidate to come after a few minutes once you leave.". I was speechless. My greatest three techniques were lost in this interview. I just said, "Thank you sir" and left the hall.
Anyhow, I showed the truth inside me to the interviewer. I showed confidence in my face. I showed sincerity to my work and I showed him what I am.And that earned me the job. Thanks to Mr.Suresh Punjabi for showing me what I am.

Life is full of surprises

Happy moments mostly comes as a surprise. Thats true. You can never predict, when, surprises may come to you. It happened last week. We had an offcampus interview from Integra micro systems, Bangalore in Amrita college, Coimbatore. 80 students from our department and IT department were given the opportunity to attend the recruitment process. Got the details only at the last moment, we ignored it a bit and went there as if it was a tour. We sang songs and danced in the bus.
There there came the surprises..... In the aptitude test, I am one of the 13 selected fot the technical test.
Again a surprise....... Me and 2 of my friends cleared the technical test and have to go for the final interview.The interview was on the next day. I didn't prepare anything for the interview. Someone told me that it will be more technical than HR. Anyway, I was not ready to preapre for it. So the interview went on.
A surprise again................ When everyone was interviewed for more than half an hour, I was interviewed only for 20 minutes. And there was nothing technical.
The HR manager told us that the results will be announced on monday through email. Days went and only on friday, I got the real surprise............ I got selected. I am placed. The offer letter will be reaching my mailbox anytime soon.

"Life is full of surprises. You loose them when you try to find one. Be where you are and they will come after you as a surprise."

heeeee.... How is my quote??????

Two days in Hogwarts

An unforgettable experience in the last two days. We had a two day workshop by Mr.Suresh Punjabi from Coimbatore regarding Campus recruitment training. The two days went like a breeze. All the 45 participants enjoyed every part of it with full enthusiasm. The best part is that he made everyone of us including me, dancing on the stage. We really enjoyed it.The way he really attracted is that he divided us into groups and awarded points for saying right answers, being punctual and many things like that. Every time he would say, "10 points to Team no: 1", I remember Aldus Dumbledore saying "10 points to Griffindor" to Harry Potter. One strange coincidence is that Mr.Suresh Punjabi also had a beard (though not much long) and also he told us that he was teaching magic to us most of the time. It really amazed me.
After the workshop is over, we danced again and sang a song and took photographs with him. An amazingly talented person indeed he is.

The search

My mobile beeped. It was a message from my sister. She asked me to suggest a name for her new born baby. We, computer engineers made the internet as our companion to solve this task. A team was formed. Me and my friends Anoop, Tirupur, Gokul, Naveen, Sateesh went drilling the net to get new names. My sister has also laid a constraint. The word must start with pa, pe, ta, or to.
That left half of the tamil words out of the choice. Padma... no its old. Tirupur suggested Pallavi and got a blow on his head for his stupid suggestion. Pavitra.. Priya... Bala.... and so on. Vani who came online in the middle suggested strange names like Tina, Tanya.. Tanusri. "Thank God! She didn't suggest Toshiba!", said Tirupur.

The fun continued for more than 2 hours everyone trying to recollect their favorite names which may be their relatives or girl friends or even l..... The final names taken for next round of consideration are....

• Sushruthi
• Preethi
• Prajusha
• Praveena
• Brindha
• Dhanya
• Priyanka
• Tanushri - Beautiful
• Aswini
• Archana
• Praneeta

My sister is busy reviewing the names now...And we armed with the net are still working on finding more cute names for this cute little baby

UPDATE: Pooja is a cute little girl of 2 years old now

A day with my friend

After a very long time, I met my school friend Karthikeyan.V. He came to pollachi in the morning. Together we went around pollachi for the whole day, chatting along the streets, recollecting our pleasent school days. Went to a browsing centre inspite we have 2 MBps leased line inside the college and went to the cinema JJ after which he left back to Tirupur. A rememberable day it is.
