Its been long..I would say pretty long at that...
Don't know where to begin..
So much has happened over the past one and a half year...
Its a series of blogs(Hopefully) where in...What the heck...I don't have the faintest idea what I'm gonna write...
So it was 20th Aug 2008.I had already been rejected by Mckinsey for the 6 months training.
Being rejected can be a real Bitch...
Then came Honeywell(a day bfr it was scheduled to)...
The mother of all companies..
We were aware this was the only shot we had if we wanted to have a training from college...
I along with my buddies just went to give the exam..Tension free...
The exam was an atrocious joke being played upon us. We didn't have an inkling even of the topics from which the questions were picked up.
But it was fun... Looking at each others faces...Laughing...
After the test we went to our rooms(after a sumptuous meal of course).
Next Morning came the results.I wasn't afraid. Somehow i knew that i was gonna get rejected.But I believe God had some thing else in mind.
Mine was the last name in the computer science list.God!!!Was i excited...
But to tell you the truth I was sad that my dearest brothers couldn't make it...
But i braced myself up for the next round...
The next round was tougher..We were given a Data Structure problem involving finding a loop in a linked list.I sat there clueless...
The invigilator(He was a real dude...Rockstar hair,cool looking...) was asking questions related to what our answers had been...
I hadnt written a single word...
Then something clicked and i wrote(like Ben Stiller in The Duplex when he had to finish a book which was due) like a madman continuously for 2 mins...And lo! I was done...
I was happy that i had achieved the desired result although the method i had used was pure Dhakka(A local PEC slang)...I didn't think about the question after that and just looked here and there...
The invigilator didn't ask me any questions and just took the copy...
After i discussed the anwers with some of my friends i realized that some of them had taken a better approach but they couldn't get to the final answer.I stuck around for almost 2 hrs there(for the results)...
Then cam the moment of truth...
Once again I made it...I still don't know how..But i made it....
And if earlier i was happy now i was... Deliriously happy...i just wanted to sing and dance...
But more was to come...
I was satisfied that at least i made it to this round...
The final round was a formality where in the Rocker Dude just asked general questions pertaining to our skill set and the choice of our fields etc...
I just wanted to shout out...Dude just accept me and gimme any work..I'll do...
The results were to come after a week or so.
i went home that weekend and boy...Were my parents happy...It was the first time(according to me) that they were proud of me after the Great IIT fiasco(i ain`t judging them..Mind you).But still we kept our fingers crossed...(He He He...)
The results were a little late in coming...And when they came i was busy playing carom in my Bumchums and baniyan...
And dude...if i was deliriously happy now i was...I've run out of adjectives now...
But yea i was happy...
I called up my friendz,family,basically contact that existed in my contact list...
And i knew all of'em were proud of me....
And once i had been selected i decide to fully enjoy my semester...
I watched every English flick with Googs(my college buddy) in theater and even some bad flicks.But it was fun ...I didn't study...
This internship has been a turning point in my life and what i believe its for the best...
I know few get this wonderful opportunity and i plan to fully capitalize on the rendered opportunity...
Next post i'll write about the Singlemost... the Biggest event in my life...
U'll see...
