Life @ Final Year CSE Guy at IT-BHU - Part I

Hi All,

I am starting a thread of this post due to the size of the blog so the post is divided into some parts... here in this part I'll tell you briefly what I am gonna write in these threads although its quite clear from the topic... here in this first post you'll see the life till my first company interview... so read on and enjoy the novel written below ':P'...

Final Year of an Engineering Institute... huh... a different kind of feeling altogether.. feeling of being the ultimate senior among all the batches... feeling of being so close to the real world that stands infront of you at a distance of just one year... feeling of being able to do all the things that one thought he'll be doing whenever he is free... feeling of FREEDOM.

Here we go... in this post you'll be encountering to what does the Life @ Final Year CSE Guy at IT-BHU means. Its already over a month of my final year life... I haven't done much of the rocking things yet but still its over three-quater year left for me to rock IT-BHU.

It starts with the last day of summer vacation at the time when all the students are coming back from their respective summer internships / homes / masti bhari life etc etc and are gearing for the upcoming session and a mega - event of the engg life - campus placements ( CP ). On the first day of insti after getting registered for the new semester it felt to me that something has changed... people were looking more serious then ever... as if a wave of study ':p' has passed over them and they are looking keen to their career... observing more deeply their surroundings. Geez... that is really a different feeling... I never felt that way... aisa lag raha tha as if I was alone tension-free guy haha... ek baat se hamesha tension rahi hai mujhe ki 'MUJHE TENSION KYON NAHI HOTI ?' :d... log mar jaate hain tension karte karte aur yahan per chahte hue bhi tension nahi hoti ':('. New semester has started and we, the final yearites have every reason and right to bunk classes ':p' on the name of CP... although faculty has a different way of looking to the matter... but no comments on it presently :).

First week was quite normal, really eventless... people were talking about CP but no one was preparing for that... may be still making their mind to start study... slowly slowly the time passed and the dates of CP to start dragged near... it was a week when the first company was destined to come... infy SET Labs... bangy placed company it is... waise to har koi bangy jaana chahta hai but yahan per ulta hisab hai... i have been to bangalore for my summer internship for 2 months in may-june period and i simply didn't like the place (no offence made ':)')... aur thode din reh jaata to pakka bimar hokar hi aata... so obvs was not serious with that company... kher... the day arrived... i sat in the exam... had 0 preperation for the exam and don't know how but the written was cleared... man !!! what did they see in my ans sheet ??? why me ':(' ?... interview was 3 hours ahead... now starts the fight...

Firstly I didn't prepare for the interview... studied nothing, really nothing... and moreover my resume wasn't prepared... my dress wasn't there... my shoes weren't ready... tie too wasn't there... I had to collect my certis and grade cards too to make the file to be taken in the interview alongwith me... everything... really everthing had to be done in just three hours... god curse these company guys :d. Well I started to make a resume... resume making itself took an hour (since I didn't realized that dress etc also needs to get prepared... so was doing the things slowly slowly haha) after an hour when i was going for print outs of the resume, 'stop' shouted one of my frnd as he also wanted to go with me for printouts... everyone of us was same in the way of getting prepared in 11th hour ':)'... thik hai bhai tum bhi aa jao... another 15 min waste... 11 of us got through for the interview so branch vehicles bhi kam pad gaye the... so arrangement of vehicle was another problem... man, was getting really late there... so after getting the printouts it was already 1 hour 40 min over and just an hour left coz its not a good thing of being late to your first interview ':)'... now I needed a team-work to be able to reach for the interview in time.... here it goes... our branch is awesome whenever it comes to unity and teamwork... I asked someone to arrange for a tie (which afterward I got to know that I too have one)... somehow I found my certis and grade-cards from different places of my room... and here was realized the worst nightmare... two of the grade-cards were missing... shit ! shit ! where the hell are them ? abhi to yahi pade the ek min pehle... kya ho raha hai yaar... well... a search party was established and after 5-10 min a frnd came having them in his hand and said that i forgot them in someone's room a min before, careless me ':)'. Now by the time I already gave someone the task of getting my dress iron and some other fellow to arrange for a file in which certis will be placed and then to place my certis in that too... a real war-like situation. I myself started preparing for my shoes... time was tickling away very fast... every min was important... room to ek living hell mein transform ho chuka tha... kuch nahi samajh aa raha tha ki kya cheej kahan padi hai... by the time hershit was placing my certis in file I went to take bath and in between my dress also came and other things were also settled... 20 mins left now... I rushed back to the room got dressed... got into my shoes... someone (may be hershit) tied the tie to me while I was wearing shoes... combed hair etc etc and got ready completely for the interview.. tdaaa.. and that too just in time i.e. 5 min before my interview. I went to TPO still unprepared as far as academics are concerened and as I reached TPO someone came and called my name... i thanked god ki bhaiya time per aa gaya ':)' but to my dismay i was LATE... he said 'Where were you ? Your name has already called twice.' Man !!! kya ho raha hai... i saw my watch and still a min was left.. I said that I am here at the time I was supposed to come... but who listen to the last min excuses... kher... TPO first floor per gaya... they asked me to wait outside till the interview panel free the person they were busy with... a long wait... long long wait... I waited for 40 min before I was called in... aaj tak samajh nahi aaya ki us bande ne ye kyon kaha ki mera naam 2 baar announce ho gaya hai and I am very late for my interview... kher... as they say... company wala hai .. thik hi hoga ':p' haha.

THE INTERVIEW

A real adventure... more interesting than the interview preparation described above haha...
To Be Contd...
