Why do I need a GF??

Hi guys. Two persons who provoked (actually inspired ) me to wite a post on this title are,
1. A guy from MS (aama, Microsoft thaan)who ‘explained’ (tried to brainwash) saying the following bullshit,
“De, gal fren illana yaarum madhikka mattanga da…appa thaan company la namakkum oru gethu irukkum…Modhalla oru gal fren pudi”(Where to catch!!!)
2. Another was from Honeywell who decried me to the core when he heard that I don’t have any girl friends. His immediate reply was “WTF did you do in you fours college life, dude?!!” .

Now back to the title. The above two guys represent almost 99% of today’s youth belonging to a corporate world, who think that having a girl friend is like claiming accolades, the more you claim , the more famous you become..!! Also this post is not meant to offend people who are having girlfriend/s or not to support the rest 1% of the society who doesn’t have any GF, this is just purely my views on this title.

These people really don’t understand the meaning of the girl friend, do they?!. Anyways just wanted to show off some comparison strategies on how people change their mind over the years and guys turn to dudes.

Guy1: Hey, what was your grade in the science paper? I got an A+ .
Guy2: Hmmm….I got only an A .

Dude1: Hey dude.. wassup? I moved onto my fourth GF.
Dude2: Ha ha..You silly..I am onto double figures…!!!

OMG.. WTH is happening to you people? I am not complaing about you people having your ‘own’ girfriends and ‘enjoying’ life but it is your “No girlfriend-No enjoyment” attitude I am complaining about. I still don’t understand the proper meaning of ‘girlfriend’. According to me , She is ‘the’ very special friend to whom you share your intimate secrects and emotions of life and expecting her to reciprocate the same. (This is just my definition!).

But here the definition I heard from the 2nd guy, “Look for a good looking girl(If hot, it is better!!) Get her phone number. Chat with her. Then go out with her. Go to movie , CCD,McD,etc.. Put SMS booster. If the time period of 6 months is over, then start complaining and move on…!!(This is what is called MOVING ON after a breakup.) ” He ended his philosophical note with a punch, “GF are like medicines. They come with expiry date..”. (Sorry for having censored some more activities mentioned by him!!).
The one point I would like to stress upon is, “You can still enjoy your life even if you fall in the rest (defined as unlucky) 1% of the society without a Girl friend..!”. GFs never fall under the essentials/necessary category.

P.S : This post was not the result of my frustration in not having a GF, but just my views on this title.

P.P.S: @Good looking gals: This doesn’t mean I am not interested in having a girlfriend. My door is always open. Feel free to contact me anytime . :P :P !!

Something Big is waiting for you!!!

Before I start off expressing my views on the title, I wanted to ask everyone this question. Does the title mean just some words of encouragement for a person who has meet only failures in the past or words of truth. I also wanted to know if the following equation is correct,

Series of Failures ---> Big Victory

Does a series of failures mean that you ‘deserve’ to get something big?? On a funnier note, after losing out past 2 IPL’s (being table ‘bottomers’) did KKR make a impression in the third one? Did they get something big? (KKR fans still hope that KKR will win IPL-4!! Silly guys..:P)

Anyways coming back to the topic, I choose this topic because I had heard this title almost 11 times from each one of them.(Yeah.. Correct..I got placed in my 11th interview). After giving it a serious thought, I thought of just posting my own views on this issue. I personally that, ‘Something Big is waiting for you!!!’ are partially both (true and mere encouragement).. Because thought they sound like mere words of encouragement (they are, in fact) they are partly true. After coming across a series of failures, you get tougher day by day and also your dreams start diminishing and finally the day when you actually ‘win’ arrives, you feel that you have a achieved a dream of your lifetime however small your victory may seem. Yes. I felt the same way when I got into CTS after attending a series of Interviews (failures!! Well, both are same in my case..). I felt very happy cuz finally some company hired me and has given me a job (Atlas!!). CTS gave me what others refused to give me. By the time I attended CTS, I had settled for a ‘OK’ company with a decent salary which was perfectly filled by CTS.

Yeah. That victory was very big to me. I got something big. I got a JOB!!! I started off my ‘placement-search’ journey believing the title to be a lame statement, ended up in believing the same as some words of pure gold. I also really don’t agree with the part , where we start blaming FATE for you-not-getting the job. If you get a tough panel, “FATE”. If you don’t know the answer to the question asked, “FATE”. Even if your WHITE shirt gets a little dirty, “Hello, FATE!!”. Come on. Give the “Fate” a little break guys. (To be honest , I was ALSO a believer of fate.. not anymore). I started realising my mistakes I did and understand the process of interviewing. After that I started to show my dear old enemy, Mr.Fate a tough fight before losing out.Our Placement taught me something more important in life rather than C, C++,blah blah… It taught me patience, perseverance and more importantly how to fight fate!!

Bye guys. I gotta go. Something big is waiting for me..Yeah.. Company Cab!!!

P.S: After a series of my personal blah’s, I thought of writing something serious. Hence this one..!!

Wonder La Pics!!

WONDERful LAnd of Ceaseless Amusement

Hi Guys..!!Finally I ve got something to scribble on my blog, thanks to the (Awesome) Bangalore trip.After thinking about Bangalore trip for a week and then
planning it for another week, it happened...(finally!!). Expecting the bus journey to be pretty boring (and tiring), I got into the bus around 7.30 from Hyderabad. The only good thing in the bus was (Well , you know).. Seri adha vidunga..A guy working in Honeywell Hyd who was seated beside me,gave me really a
good company.So enuf about the travel.

Having made wait CKB abd Vangal in the Majestic Bus Stand for around 1.5 hours , we finally caught a bus to Wonderla. My actual version of wonderla is Wonder(FUL) La(dies)...yup.. We'l come back to that a little later..

Since wonderla had a concession for college students , we brought our ID cards. Moto and CKB had their duplicate Id cards.(Not the white one..) Rest of us showed our white ID cards and went inside. Moto got stopped by the security(ingayum ID card problem ah...)and asked him regarding his-different-looking-ID
card. Watch out for his reply....

"They are all hostellers sir. Day scholars like me are being given ID cards like this. We have 3-4 types of ID cards in our college sir.."

Wow!!What a blatant lie in 5 secs..!! We were all very much shocked by his presence of mind in handling that. If CKB had been in that position , the case would have been very different.

Important:
We were the only ONLY-MEN party inside the whole of wonderla. Cha..enna avamanam..seri hmmm..

We started off with dry rides and the first one was MAVERICk. (Awesome..!!)I almost cried when I saw that for the very first time from outside the ride. When I saw everybody else's faces, they were very much thrilled about going in that.(OMG.. What happened to this fellows..!!). gathering all my courage,I went for that one. I almost saw death in front of me, What a ride..!! Must-go-ride..!! After I came back from that, I almost felt like I have accomplished a brave feat.I said Bravo to myself!!But the next ride was still more thrilling. It was "y..Scream?!". Seeing the name and then the ride made my stomach come to my mouth.. (vayiru vaaaiku vandhuruchhu..)But stil enjoyed it a lot.We finished off all the HIGH-THRILL rides (CKB is an exception here!!).

After having lighter lunch, We started off with the water rides and the first few rides were amazing. VERTICAL FALL deserves a special mention. The only two water rides enjoyed by CKB was Rain Disco and Wave Pool. Coming to Wave Pool, When we came to the pool, we were next to shocked when we saw that no guy/guy was single. It should have been named PAIR POOL. Bearing all that scenes and tragedies, We still enjoyed that a lot.A great wave of enthusiasm started passing over us and we started to run to our next rides and When people were fearing to enter the water rides , we started racing in that.Finishing off our adventure with the Giant Wheel was a fitting one.(The Giant Wheel was placed at the top of the 13th floor!!!). What a trip!! Amazing is no better word to describe it.

My Personal advice to ppl:

If you are planning to go to WonderLa,

1. Stop thinking and Start packing.

2. Don't go with STRICTLY-MEN party.

P.S: I will be writing my return travel experience in my next post.The same beautiful gal who travelled with me while going to Bangalore from Hyd was alloted the seat next to me while returning..தொடரும்....!!

Infectious Colors of HiTech Hyd

Hi guys. Hey Arun , so sorry about stealing the topic from you. I would like to lay down some facts on why i like Hyderabad very much(by the way, I forgot to tell you.. i like hyderabad very much...)

and what make the people here SO SPECIAL.(seriously no double meaning...!).

First and Fore-most reason would be .....(you know)Guess....Correct!!Gals. Yes! I could smell many burning stomachs there but don't worry,almost everyone here has a boyfriend(may be for safety..!). You could actually see people saving a lot of money on dresses(Wait!Don't mistake me...) here as the women here don't spend much buying costly sarees or chudies(Only Jeans and T-shirt). But believe me, (Guys,Kindly note)they are really cute and beautiful. It is really worth studying another four years of engineering here in any crap university here(What a waste of four years!!). Can anyone answer me why it is not the same case with TamilNadu. Better we will start FASTING to acquire Hyderabad and make it as the capital of TamilNadu(idhu allava latchiyam!).

Next important fact-IMAX--Really a proud possession of Hyd. A must-visit place in Hyd. When you go to IMAX, you can see the cinema for few hours and the REST for the rest of the day..(I meant Games, Foodworld,etc). Seeing AVATAR on that Megascreen become one of my lifetime goals(also I achieved it). IMAX Screens-Best, Rest of IMAX- Best'est'....

Then, Hyderabad Biryani!! As everyone knew it...And ofcourse QC..!!

Bye guys. :)

Title Unknown!

Hi guys. Let me ask you ask sorry for 2 things.

1. Blogging after a very long time(Work was'nt the reason)

2. About the title(I was'nt able to hit upon one)

The reason why I did not blog was suddenly I found that reading blog was more easier than writing one and also after reading some of the blogs i knew(especially Jr Umesh's) I felt that I must not have started one(Seri paravala, samaalippom!). Coming back to my story, the next few weeks at QC went pretty ordinary. We were(are) in the starting phase of the project after a lot of enjoyment cum working days. I had to continue a project which was actually left over by BITS intern guy. Before I could understand the head or tail of the project, I was given the deadline. Next Week.(Only i now realised why is it called DEAD-LINE). I forgot to mention you guys about my(sorry, our!)schedule at QC in the last few weeks(Not now). Kindly note that the following schedule is not applicable to the two gals and ofcourse Manoj Kannan.

8.55 am- Catch the QC cab in running (everytime) as we start very late. I was able to see the Driver mumbling some(bad , i guess) words each time.(It happens!!)

9.10 am(sharp)- Breakfast (First Cafeteria,then Cubicle) seeing CNN-IBN news

9.45 am- Go back to cubicle and start ACTION!

for(time=9.45 am;time<=6.00 pm;time++)

(Browsing....Oh boring....Chatting...Cha...mokkai poduthu...Coffee....Playing TT,carrom,snooker,etc.......)

6.30 pm- Happily leave home :)

That is all for now..!!Will soon be writing about COLORS(You Know What!) of hyderabad.!

Bye guys..

QUTUMBOTSOV – Renaissance of QC

Hi guys. Having enjoyed the acme of luxuriousness in the past two weeks, I want to make a statement on the Corporate world, “All of you get ready to enjoy the Corporate ambience. It is simply rocking”. Qutumbotsov 09 of QualComm may be the reason behind my comment. A brief explanation about the function- The cultural fest, a feast for everyone’s eyes and tastebuds , where all the employees of QC will arrive along with their families(starting from Grandma to daughter) to enjoy the extravaganza. When we guys were informed that we were a part of the theme show happening on that day, we were very much enthralled about it.(Later it turned out to be a damp squib as we were given the roles of soldiers. Seri Vidu Vidu!!).

To describe the place where Qutumbotsov happened in a single word, it was extra-spacious and extra-luxurious (Okay! I accept, two words). The hall, called HICC (Hyderabad International Convention Centre) was filled with all possible latest technological equipments to furnish the hall with decorative features. The car parking was filled with (only) BMW, Audi, Benz, etc.(We were the only lot, who went there by Auto!).The event was host by a famous (we were told so!)Telugu singer and started off with a classical dance followed by Intrams-type dances by QC employees (Rajesh was also a part of the dance troupe).

Just when the event started to go off the track (as lot of employees were busy in eating), Tina (pop singer) was introduced along with her dance troupe to light up the audience. She dressed like a typical pop singer (Don’t ask me what!) and her dance troupe danced with maximum enthusiasm and little _____ (You know what!!). The event started to gain the momentum, as the employees crowded the dance floor near the stage and started dancing to her songs, leaving their wives shouting their names from the back(We were sitting quietly at the back, believe us!). The show on the whole consisted of all the colorful features (I strictly meant laser lights, stage set-up and non-living miscellaneous) one would like to a have a look at. Unfortunately we missed out the disco which started in the late night (as we left the show early). Qutumbotsov, was almost 5 times bigger (and smaller in another sense)than our Renaissance. Only after this function, I realized why QC stands 6^th in the list, ’Great Places to Work’.

Payanangal Mudivathilai

Hi guys. On Saturday, we had our first unofficial outing since we had been to QC. Whenever a person comes to Hyderabad, he is down with IMAX fever. We were no immune to that fever. We got up early at 11.00(believe me, it’s early!)and started off on our IMAX-3D mission. After booking our tickets for the movie 2012(showtime- 15.45),went inside the Mall. All we could observe after roaming around it for 2 hours was, Mall was large and the prices of the items sold there are larger than that. If you want to enjoy the life of a Corporate, first rule is your purse must outweigh you.

We had our lunch at McDonald’s. We searched for around 5-10 mins to find some stuff to eat that is economical(even that cost us Rs.50/item). Attracted very much towards 4DFX, I persuaded both Rajesh and Neeraj to go for one. We went for ‘HAUNTED HOUSE ‘ and it was a 20 minute movie. It was really a awesome experience and everyone must definitely watch one. 4D is a medley of 3D effects and movement of chairs + showering of water and blowing of air.

Finally we went inside IMAX –large screen(it should have been named extra large)at 15.30. The screen was really inexplicably large. IMAX screen will be approximately double times of a normal theatre screen. Even if you watch a worse movie with little visual and sound effects at IMAX, it’ll seem a excellent to you. If you go(sorry,come) to Hyderabad, never miss out IMAX.

After a mindblowing experience at IMAX, we went to Central Mall(largest Mall in Hyd). We actually thought of shopping there, but the prices suggested us to go for some better Mall! All we could afford was a coffee(named SUNSET ORANGE)from JAVA-GREEN which we drank that till we reached our home.

Moral: If you have a lot of money and don’t know how to spend it, don’t worry. (Wel)Come to Hyderabad.

Outing No-2!!

Hi guys. I could see your eyebrows getting raised after seeing the title of the post. Yeah we had our 2^nd outing. Before that, the 3^rd and 4^th days at QC was very similar to attending classes (did nothing, but gud time pass). We finished the procedures of getting ID cards and were assigned separate cubicles. Also we were briefed about the projects assigned to us. I could not get even a single line of that. The whole thing was Greek and Latin to me. On my 3^rd day, I attended a team meeting in which people from my team (Oh! forgot to tell you, I belong to CoreBSP team) showcased their updates in the last 2 weeks. Only thing I understood in the meeting was the last line of it, “We have planned to go for a Team Outing this Friday. Have fun”, my Manager said. AGAIN HUH?!OK.

I would like to stress upon the point that, mine is almost a ALL-MEN team. I imagined that we would be having team building stuffs and some HR related activities. There was only a small difference between my imagination and the reality. IT HAPPENED IN THE OPPOSITE WAY. It was purely fun and full of sports. We played Cricket in the morning and rest of the sports(Badminton, Volleyball,TT,etc) in the afternoon. In between, We had a wonderful lunch and Snacks. The travel time was engaged with Dumb-charads and Anthaksharis. My manager called me and said that you are good at almost all the sports, but the truth was they were pretty bad. Altogether it was a fantastic outing and I was able to familiarize myself with everyone in the team.

Intern outing Photos

Intern Outing

Hi guys. You would've been surprised to see the title of the post. Yeah. We had Intern outing on the very second day we joined. First place we went to was, School for eradicating Child Labour run by QC. Lot of small children exhibited their talents by dancing and singing. We were all really happy to see the smile they wore on their faces. As we dont know both Telegu and Hindi(but thoda thoda maalum), we weren't able to interact with them. But still had a very good time there. It was a fantastic trigger for our outing.
Coming to most delicious part of my story, we had lunch at 3 star hotel(i suppose, bcoz it was too big). I wasn't able to recognise even the name of one item we ate. We started with Minestorm soup and ended up with dessert with some north indian name. the dishes weren't too good, but still good. Then we had our Team building activity following that. We were split into 3 teams and it was a kind of saving-people from the shipwreck game and it was great fun as I got a good-looking girl as my captain! After the activity was over, we had a brainstorming session on what game should we play next. Finally we settled upon HELP (Don’t worry if you are not aware of the game, I’ll explain you).
The game (HELP) was the best of the outing. It started with a guy named Pramodh(from BITS ofcourse)explaining us the rules. He started, “there will be 2n+2 people , 2n people will be split into n pairs and among the rest two one will be the CATCHER and other one will be the SINGLE….” His way of explanation very clearly pointed that he was from BITS, Pilani and he belongs to the fruit category. Now coming back to the game, the catcher must chase the single and get him/her and meanwhile the single would break a pair and join with someone. Again the left out guy will be the single (Enough of rules! I’m able to catch your mind voice). The best part of the game was that the pairs must hold their hands together (bahooth accha game). Oh k. I could smell the burning of someone’s stomach, I’l stop with the game explanation.
We had our snacks then and started off with Anthakshari(only Hindi and Telugu). But we guys were able to get the Tamil version of the each and every song they sang(almost all were from Vijay movies). When we left to the outing, PSG people were in a separate bus, on returning they wanted us to come in the same bus. All way Anthakshari continued. What an excellent outing! We were very sad as it was a one day outing, it must have been a month outing. Hmmm. MORAL: Corporate , Corporate than…..

Perfect Start!!

For ages i've been imagining how a corporate world would seem like and what will be the work culture over there. After getting QualComm intern, i thought i was blessed to see the reality before six months. With a bunch of expectations and anxiety(also with a lot of fear)finally i arrived to the world,i had wanted to see.
First day at QC
NOTE: Herein, I'll be referring QualComm as QC
Following were the works assigned to us on the first day,
1. Arranging the chairs
2. Decorating the Hall
3. Stick up Charts
4. Giving away goodies
5. Taking Photos(I din!),etc
Sounds more odd?It was so familiar with what we all did in SU. Same thing. The reason was, it was INTERN TECH DAY. 22 interns from BITS,Pilani(whose six month tenure is over) were showcasing their talent(exhibit the work they've done) in the middle, when we were doing the arrangements for the fun games. It was a great to see even the company's VP coming and participating in the fun events. Also we had a tough time distributing the goodies, as everyone wanted one!
I wanted specifically mention more about these BITS people. They never treated us like new interns , and they invited us to join and help them in making the event more memorable. We became one among them in minutes. Such kind of thing would never happen with South Indian people. One more very great thing to note(IMPORTANT POINT)was the chemistry between the Boys and Gals there. You'll have to search hard to find a gal or guy alone,they are always mixed up.
Everything went well on the first day and we were appreciated for what we did(though we did nothing significant). I still haven't been exposed to the Corporate world, but i've made up my mind. This is how the corporate should look like. IT WAS FUN:)

Abstract

Hi guys!(Tat s how i usually start typing my group msgs,so..)Finally i've made up my mind to start a blog and write some crap that knocks my mind. From here on, i'll be narrating my experiences at QualComm as an Intern and also my meetings(encounters!) with each of the BZ. If you expect the following things to be present in my blog, then you've landed up in the wrong place..
1. Movie Reviews
2. Philosophies,Jokes,Poems,etc.
3. Also better English usage.
I've started this one to give vent to my thoughts and also another reason is , i got bored of readings blogs and so decided to start one! I'l try to make all my posts interesting , if else then try thinking IT'S REALLY VERY INTERESTING!!
