College to Office …..


College life seems to have left my hand and I hardly had time to realize that
Good old days man ! I miss them ! I miss attending those lectures , bunking those tutorial classes we used to have at PCC .
Sitting wid friends in the corridors and discussing everyting else except studies .
Planning post exams outings …much ahead of the exams !! Cursing the college the university corrections the sem durations the local buses , the timetable the results ….uff !! and yea also the long queue in the library , paisa khao examination and the revaluation forms ! Gosh…what an experience !!!

Besides fooling arnd what I also miss is the sincerity behind studies and the so called replication of submissions, the hardwork behind the last minute preparations ….Uff!!! Those were great days . Rumours abt the results and the lastminute change in time table ….

Then came the days when i realized its time to prove my self …its time to earn urself a living ! to get a JOB!!! This word has haunted me for a long time ……I used to see my friends content with a job before even before passing out of engg ….They were too good !! However hard I tried I never succeeded in clearing those stupid aptitute tests . Huh !!

But yea …I too had my day !!
The day when I happened to clear an aptitude. Was so used to NOT clearing any campus recruitment tests …..i ignored the fact that my name was called out for the Info-ReachTest ….I dint expect that at all ! Guess I was so used to disappointment …..that I dint want to …or rather was skaid to answer my first ever tech interview !! I cudnt belive the fact that I had later cleared the interview too …..

And then started the days ….of working !
The jobbing !!!


Was too excited on joining my first job ….as I just wanted the world to know that I finally had a job. That I was not so dumb !! yes …this was what I went thru

As I was getting used to the new environment ..i also realized the feeling that slowly creeped in my mind. Independence …… I am a grown up girl now …
I had started to take things coolly (which is otherwise not my nature and my friends know that well )

Few words started to become an integral part of my life …
Routine , Projects , Team , Development Testing and last but not the least Deadline ! …..i finally came to know what a deadline is and what it takes to complete one !!
U shud remain as cool as possible…
Believe in the fact that Google can find u everything !! possibly everything on this earth ! lol!!!!
And above all ……don’t think abt the after effects …as the more u think abt the time left and the amount of work left …the more it affects ur work !!!

That’s work !!
Other aspects like Confidence …which I seriously lacked …started to build in me ! I knew I can program …I knew I’m capable of taking up tasks ! that is a great feeling one can possess !!

But what I cannot get back in life is the time I spent wid my lovely friends …
The jokes we cracked ..the laughter, the canteen atmosphere ….their support …their suggestions their comments , their opinions the fights and the compromises !!!
Life cannot give u back these moments ….Coz its those special friends whom one always remembers in happy and sad moments of life !!
