For all my frens & trainee mates from Nov27 2006 batch B-)









The dawn of Nov27th 2006 can never be forgotten.The most memorable day in all our lives!

Little confused, little frightened, little puzzled(thinking of the start in such a huge campus)WE ALL ENTERED the gates of Hootagalli Mysore INFOSYS Campus.We were all thrilled when we were given "THE PINK"cards(our first IDENTITY CARDS)at the Multiplex(our first destination in the campus).We were very much fascinated by the campus, thrilled a lot thinking about the new life, WERE AT THE VERGE of TEARS when we were bading bye bye to MamaPapa and college buddies..TRIED HARD To control the tears COZ WE BELIEVED WE ENTERED THE PROFESSIONAL LIFE!!!BUT IT WAS false….Through out the training we felt it was just like a student life reloaded again in our lives…A RARE BOON which rare people get!!As the INFY song was played"You are my INFY"we felt a shiver in spine…A NEW EXCITEMENT THAT WE are going to be a part of "INFY FAMILY"!

THE first day most of us got lost in the campus searching for the right roads, searching for the food courts, for Xerox of markslists in G.E.C. and searching for many more things.

How can any one forget the sessions conducted at the multiplex? C-Life by Arun Nayar AASHI by PreetKushalappa..session by BRADLEY…popularly called Brad(cant remember the name of the session but it was NOT BORING I can say:-).Financial briefing of which not even a single word got absorbed in to our heads, still we tried concentrating on each and every WORD as if theres going to be an immediate test in it as INFY training and tests were already RULING our MINDS!"The first one week at INFY is like HONEYMOON then the marriage starts"!!These were the words of our Mentor Shashikala during the first Ice breaking session at INFY popularly called ILI sessions!( ILI==Infosys Leadership Institute).We all laughed at the joke but that sarcasm proved to be true:( but who can deny that we were laughing all the way in the midst of the TIGHT training schedule making friends FOREVER!!we didn't know that the training of nearly 5months is going to be such an unforgettable phase of ALL OUR LIVES!!

The role plays conducted made us laugh, bored us and made us sleep too at times, still we found FUN in everything.After the first week of icebreaking there came the HeadBreaking and the most important phase…. "TECHNICAL TRAINING"at the most renowned campus OF MYSORE,still it felt OK !CHSSC ,PF, RDBMS. The syllabus was flowing and exams were running simultaneously! Though we felt it was all like "A sheer COLLEGE" we all had fun at our answers, exams, sleeping sessions in classes(Ofcourse due to lack of proper sleep the previous Night) .TIME WAS JUST FLYING AWAY!!The tea made in the kettle and the noodles boiled secretly(as we were warned not to;-))became our staple food.We didn't realize BREAKFAST was deleted from our timetables…Got used to the same old boring coffee from the coffee machines, but felt good as we had it along with FRIENDS!!chat at FC3 and pizzas now and then for a change.,assignments submitted strictly in the very beginning days and CTRLC+CTRLV followed later :-) :-) MULTICASTS received in Ipmessenger..FUNNY FWDS nonstop GAGS and jokes. we dint realise it was JAN so sooooon…

Then came "the COMPRE"...The fun lasted till then lessened with the thoughts of EXIT POLICY!!

Some of the friends got separated after generic!!Entered stream which came to end with jet speed!!It was more fast than GENERIC…We PRAYED FOR OURSELVES. PRAYED FOR OUR FRIENDS as it is difficult to even dream of vacating the place after spending all these days here! PRAYERS were answered .The thought of losing people due to exit policy was terrible, still the thing which gave us courage was A forever SMILE on our faces which rejuvenated us!!FRIENDS WHO WERE WITH US TILL THE END!!!laughed with us:) cried with us!!:( THE DAY OF SEPARATION has finally come..ALL OF US got to go to their own places after trying all possibilities to get their most WANTED DC!!

The sudden thought of leaving MYSORE ,our ROOM and friends was ODD, but TIME DOESN'T HALT for anyone!!ITS HARD TO C SMILES WHEN THERE ARE GOOD BYES:( but WE were excited as V finally accomplished the training and entered PRODUCTION!

The excitement did not last more than a week!!THE MECHANICAL life here …colleagues …onsite calls…business relations…the dialy routines…made the memories of INFY—MYSORE more strong. Now we completed 2years here… but still the memories are afresh as if all the events happened JUST YESTERDAY!

For whatever length of time we may stay here ..say 3 4 or even 10years [:-0 ]the period from NOV27th 2006…till the completion of training in APR 2007 will be the most MEMORABLE ERA in the INFY REGIME!!I hope all our friendships last forever and ever.. CHEERS!!:)

KEEP ROCKING LIKE THIS ……….. :):)

winter is here!!:).............. HAPPY diwali









The sudden chill feel and the cool breeze,

Winter started with a drizzle across the reeds!!

The day ends fast.. some times at Five,

I dialy get a glimpse of starry night in the long—Busdrive!!


Time to switch off the A.C.’s and turn on the heaters,

Time to wear jerkins socks and sweaters!

Beautiful are the water droplets on the leaf tip,

Wonderful is the early morning hot tea Sip!!


Mornings with fog are in a haze,

The day starts off in a laze!

Saved are we from the hot sun’s blaze,

No mood to work, just wanna Gaze!!


Nothing dominates the drowsy feel,

Yawn to control and to just reel!

Its warm and cozy under the rug covers,

Starting the day needs lotta powers!!:)


As the lazy days get dragged and even the freezy nights,

To brighten up came the festival of lights!

The sound of fireworks is the sound of joy,

Stars and "THE MOON" gave a try!

Failed to shower equal beauty in the illuminated SKY!

Galaxies in a rage and moon let a sigh ;-(

"DIWALI "we celebrate it with spirits so HIGH!!! :-):-)

------------HAPPY DIWALI---------

me "N" ME

In solitude my MIND it screams,

Under the starry sky and the moon light beams!

At this hour of night I sleep but my mind it DREAMZ:(

There are two people in me it seems!

One is sad, the other is in hearty smiles!!

One is resting in peace the other has travelled miles!

EID-UL-FITR




PRAYER FOR PEACE






Unique day--OCT2nd ---the holy eid and Gandhi Jayanti!
The repeated bombings made me so gloomy that I felt to write some words in the memory of many innocent people who became victims of those culprits who are targetting at the destruction of humanity and peace with monstrously venomous agenda called “TERRORISM"

Mother Nation is equally important rather more important than mother religion!!
What mistake did these innocent people do to meet such a horrible death?The motto of all the non humans is baseless.Is there any punishment for such non humans on earth??If not on earth will atleast the supreme power above punish them???


“Awareness is the path of immortality;
Thoughtlessness is the path of death..”
Whoever seeking ones own happiness
Inflicts pain on others who also want happiness
Will not find happiness after death”!!!!


-----------LORD BUDDHA----------


The ultimate impact is on religion! Does any religion preach to harm others??Religions are created by man. There is only a single universal religion i.e."THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY".India a huge sub continent renowned for its “UNITY in DIVERSITY” is now being invaded by DEMONS who are trying to bring diversity minus unity in to light .."DIVIDED WE FALL UNITED WE RULE"!
When it comes to the point of mother nation let us remember only one thing that “We belong to India.It is our Mother Nation. No one can steal its peace.We will fight for it.”
Please take this oath to be united FOR EVER AND EVER
VANDEMAATARAM

“LET THY SOULS REST IN PEACE!
LET THY NATION BECOME PEACEFUL!!”


Oh god "may peace shower on this EARTH"
Punish the NON---HUMans! and save the earth from the wrath of the beastly humans.

one of MY "most FAVOURITE SONGS"!













Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai,

Kabhi kabhi aditi wo bichad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai,

Aise mein koi kaise apne aasuon ko behne se roke?
Aur kaise koi soch le everything’s gonna be ok?

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi naa khushi aur naa mazaa,
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa,
Aise mein koi kaise muskuraye, kaise hass de khush hoke?
Aur kaise koi soch le everything gonna be ok?

Soch zara jaane jaa tujhko hum kitna chahte hai,
Rote hai hum bhi agar teri aankhon mein aasu aate hai,
Gaana to aata nahi hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hai,
Ki aditi maan kabhi , kabhi saare jahan mein andhera hota hai,
Lekin raat ke baad hi to savera hota hai..

Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai,
Kabhi kabhi aditi wo bichad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai,
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..

Tu khush hai to lage ki jahan mein chayee hai khushi,
Sooraj nikle badlon se,aur baaten zindagi,
Sun to zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi,
Ki aditi wo jo bichadte hai ek naa ek din phir mil jaate,
Aditi, jaane tu ya jaane naa phool phir khil jaate hai..

Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai,
Kabhi kabhi aditi wo bichad jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai,
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..

Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..

Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..

"THE DARKER SIDE"


The Lonesome nights and the days,
still time is flying in such a fast pace!
Where am I leading to?
What am I up to?

A drizzle and even a holiday used to make me feel WOW.
The civil dress on Saturday and fun filled Sunday are lost now!
Was always in a crowd with hell lot of noise.
Being claustrophobic now I prefer silence and poise!!

 Getting wet in rains used to be my pleasure.
Now the muffled soil and its essence just bring the memories back in leisure!
The rainbow colors, the hide and seek played were “the Best”!
The radio and music are the only partners now:::where are the rest?

There was no calculation in any relation.
A friendly hand seems a puzzle now, a violation!!
Is this mad to feel with heavy mind collision.
Will this persist with out any solution?

Time just slipping away from hand like sand.
Day to day errands giving me sufficient grand.
Along with me a bunch of folks of same and different band.
There are invisible strands on this “ ROBOT LAND”!

No place and time for emotions as a professional.
To work and have periodical fun is a conditional!
A question to god Why is heart made of such delicate glass?!
while the rest of the human body is a hard mass!


When the Sun shines up in the sky so bright,
like a bountiful crop for harvest waiting for the time right,
may be all my compatriots sharing the same thought.
Thinking whether to express it or not!



Life sometimes a brief candle with the two ends burning,
Sometimes an endless mile; a bus wheel turning!
A friend to share the lonesome times, a silly thought,
freedom to love, freedom to shout, freedom to just freak out!


A handshake and a daily hi , just say it loud and let it ring!
Past present and future We all are a part of everything!!
