Vinod’s World

Karthik (The champ of AIHT) and I attended the quiz conducted by Infosys at the Mysore DC on 13th of August. The questions were really good and I am planning to post some of the questions as an episode of QCT. Thinking of when to post it I have test on Thursday. So I guess I will post it on Friday evening. I will sms all the members of QCT to check it out. I will put up the answers the very next week. So all will have a week’s time to answer and I guess that is more than enough

Take care friends

My specific stream training started last week and the same day my stream people were split up into two classes with one having trainees for CRM and I applied for that. I am right now in a small class with 24 other trainees and all are from Tamil Nadu. We have been told about our posting and it will be either Chennai or Trivandrum. We won’t get posting at any other development cente for now. Lets see where I will be posted after my training. I am planning to visit Chennai this month. I will confirm it in few days time.

I was unable to post for more than a week due to the exams and shifting of class. After the main exam my class was shifted due to the change in the domain and once again I was shifted to another block due to another shifting in block. So now my block is the nearest from my hostel room. I can start 10 minutes before the starting time of the class. The building is some kind of paper folding model and has a different look compared to the usual buildings built by Infosys. I am not sure whether I will be posting regularly or not but I will try my best to post as usual. Till then have fun.

 It was friday when my friends in fast track decided to go for a trip to coorg on sunday. Karthik asked me to come with him because he felt odd to go with them as most of them were new people. Since my main exam of the first half of training was over on friday I decided to go with him. So we were asked to come to entrance by 5:30 in the morning. I was thinking about the trip after hearing the time to meet others in the morning. I didn’t had a proper sleep for the past one week due to the Chennai trip and then the exams I had consecutively for three days. I was busy with these things and didn’t sleep properly and friday night I was seeing tv So I was in need of proper sleep and Saturday is the only day one can sleep properly. But as usual I slept after mid night and got up at 4:30 in the morning (Thanks to Karthik who called to my room and asked me to get ready). So me and Karthik went to the gate at 5:45 because I was sure about others timing and the same happened. Others came at 6:15 only.

The mini bus came even later and we started at around 7 in the morning and went to few boring places where we found nothing interesting (Elephant sanctuary where no elephants could be seen, a lake where we found few elephants and we were not allowed to go to the palce where the elephants roamed). Then we went to falls and had a good time there and as usual I stood at the back watched others enjoy the waterfalls. I was taking snaps as usual with my cell and it was around 5:30 in the evening when we started for Infy campus. We reached by 9:30 and I was very unlucky because I planned to go for Bachna Ae Haseeno movie at night but when we reached the theatre the security said the counter closed few minutes ago. So another week passed by without a movie. Now I am in the domain whose training duration is the longest. I will be learning lot of things in this module. I don’t know where I will be posted after the training and I am happy with what I got My exam results will come after a month only.

I came to Chennai yesterday and the whole day was so tiring for me after the bus travel from Mysore to Chennai which was horrible and the worst in my life till now. The bus took four and a half hrs to reach the Bangalore bus stand and this much time took when the bus was just 1km away from the bus stand!!! We (me and my college ECE friends with whom I was coming to Chennai) thought of walking to bus stand as we didn’t take dinner. It was 9.30PM and we were so hungry. We could have walked to the bus stand but it was raining. So we were sitting inside the bus for four and a half hrs and we finally reached the bus stand at 1:30AM I guess and now came the real punch. The conductor said they won’t stop for more than 10 mins which meant we won’t get time for dinner!!!

So we went on and I could not sleep properly because the bus was kinda ok. So I came to Chennai at around 8AM which was supposed to be 5AM. I came home at 9AM and then went to Music Academy for Land Mark 2008 quiz. I returned home at 10.30PM and slept as it was so tiring day for me. Today it went like a flash. I met my college friends and went to ground. Thats all for the two days. Tomorrow I might post a quiz Take care all

The climate here is really awesome. In July the sun shined in the morning and in the afternoon the temperature was around 28 to 30. In the evening it rained everyday. And now in August it is raining often and there is no sun shine at all This climate is really good and you hardly sweat here. The dust inside the campus is very less as they clean the road and all other places everyday. I heard that it is raining in Chennai for a while now. I just hope that it don’t rain heavily when I come to Chennai because I don’t want to sit inside my house for three days and miss the chance of meeting all you people. My 7th module test is on thursday and the very evening I’ll be leaving for Chennai. I’ll reply to all your comments once I reach Chennai

My grade was being maintained as I wanted it to be after the first module test till today morning. I had a module test today morning and the module was a perfect example of how a theory paper should be. The module was related to TQM, Quality etc which I really hate (It is interesting to study but not good for exam ). I knew from the beginning that I won’t do well in this exama nd the same happened. Due to my stupidity I answered 5 questions wrongly knowingly and lost the A grade. Now I have to get A in all the upcoming exams which is difficult to get a better output after training. Damn the theory!!! I HATE IT

I thought of going for Sing is Kinng and Hancock this weekend but due to my module test on monday and due to my laziness I decided not to go. These module tests are killing me so much and because of these I am either missing or giving up lot of things here X-( My first half of training will get over on 22nd of this month and the very next day my second phase will start and will have module tests in that too I hope that I enjoy the three days visit to Chennai to the fullest Take care people

My main exam is nearing. I have only two weeks left for my main exam and I don’t have much time to prepare for it as three days are already ruled out of my schedule due to my visit to Chennai. I am coming to Chennai on 15th morning and will leave 17th night which takes three precious days from my training. But it will give me lot of thoughts to remember as I will be seeing my parents and friends after more than a month. I have two module test before my main exam and till now my aggregate is above normal though it should have been the best but due to my laziness I lost .5 marks in the first test and that has taken my aggregate down to the next level I still have three hurdles to pass before I can determine my CGPA of the first half of my training at Infosys. The training is really interesting here. Though I didn’t learn anything new till now I am waiting for the next half of training where I will learn something new.

For now I am learning what was taught to me in my college life and I must thank AU for setting the syllabus better than other states’ syllabus. The things I learned till now was taught by our so called staff members in our college and it has proved useful to me (This one is applicable to only those who thought college syllabus was a bit useful). AU syllabus is not useless. It depends on how we take it. I know that it was useful but I also accept that half of the syllabus was not fruitful. But still on the whole the syllabus was useful. I have to wait till September beginning to know my CGPA of the first half of the training that I am currently undergoing. Lets hope for the best

India was in a good position till lunch. I saw the score in the afternoon of day 1 and it was around 160 for 3. Ganguly and Gambhir were at crease in good touch. Then in the evening I used Airtel Live to get the score as there was no power supply in hostel (we get it at 6 in the evening during weekdays) and I was shocked to see the score as 247 or so allout and Sri Lanka were 14 for 1 at the end of day 1. Today Indian bowlers are struggling to get wickets. Till now they have dismissed only two top oder batsmen and Vass is in good touch in this innings and is giving a good support to Sangakkara. It will be nice if this test match draws but I think that is not easy to happen because Sri Lanka will hold a good position by tomorrow if the Indian bowlers fail to do some damage by the end of day 2. Sachin and Dravid failed once again and I don’t think Sachin will be able to break Lara’s record in this series. Lets hope for the best.

P.S. This time coming saturday I will be in Chennai Waiting for the weekend to come soon I have a module test on coming monday and the worst thing is that its fully theory

This birthday was a special day for me. My first birthday in Infosys and that too with cake So my class friends Vaibhav, Varun and Apurva took me to Gazebo (a hang out place where you get eatable items) and we were joined with VN and Karthik followed by other college friends. They gave me the expected birthday bombs and my back was in a situation which I never expected. I was unable to sit in class yesterday The cake was cut at 12:20AM of my first birthday here in Infosys. Then next was the grand finale and that was putting the cake all over my face, hair, shirt and also my new track Then in the evening I gave the treat and it was in Dominos and the bill was once again as expected which I won’t tell

I missed one thing a lot and that was my close friends with whom I used to celebrate my birthday for the past 8 yrs I missed you people a lot I will upload the pictures of the birthday when I come there.
