Life @ TCS (Thatha Click-Click Services)

Well first of all caution this is a huge one so have patience…..well “Those who don’t have patience in life are patients of life.” (Sakka Mokkai)

Well for me life in Chennai has been pretty hectic……….. everyday I travel for three hours in the train n bus ……. 45-50 mins in Train n another 25-30 mins in the bus One way…. Well I have been getting up at 6.30 so as to reach office by 9.30 am. Well in BIM I have never got up so early not even during exams……… So I leave my home at 8 am n reach back at around 10 pm (hectic Schedule naa)

Well now coming to the life in TCS…. For the first 3 days we had an “Induction program”(IP). In that we were told about the project in which we have to work. All this was happening in the TCS “Sankalp” (Determination) Conference Hall…. Everyday we used to come at 9.30 am and from that time we used to have round table conference till 6 pm, in between few employees used to come n give us Gyan about how life is in TCS n what all the project was about…….. Infact all of us gave our introduction some infinite times……………… But in most cases people were surprised to know that we were doing MBA 'cas they used to think as to what all we will do in this project………………. Then in that conference hall we all used to have heated debates …….

On the first day of the IP we were generally wetty n talking to each other, but we were generally getting to know abt the project….. At the end of the first day we were told that u all wont be that wetty from tomorrow so we were given documents to read that’s how we became busy………. Then on the second and third day same thing was done………….. on all the three days we used to come at 9.30 then had one session till 11…. Later we used to go for coffee from 11 to 11.30 then come back n have discussions till lunch… Lunch was scheduled from 1 to 2.. Then another session then Tea from 4 to 4.30 pm…… Then another gyan session n finally leave the office by 6………….

Now once our training was over on Monday (25th April) we were put into various components. As for me I have to add a new functionality to the existing product….. Well we have been told to read the project documents which run in GBs…….. I have been reading quite a lot, I was feeling a bit restless just reading those documents but then I was told as to these people over here had to read those docs for 3-4 weeks n I am lucky as I have to read it for 1 week only …………. Well the lunch in TCS is pretty good……………

I am in TCS n the project is in the eClearSettle product of TCS… It’s a PRODUCT and a registered trademark…. It has 23 components………… Well eClearSettle offers a comprehensive suite of products for clearing and settlement of financial instruments … So we r getting to know quite a few things about Clearing n Settlement n Financial Market n bla bla bla……( If I start telling about all that n my mail will run into MBs…………. )

Well it’s a live project and we need to meet some very tight deadlines……… I have been working even on Saturdays,,,,,,,,,, Well life becomes hectic once u r out of college so when I go back after my summers I will enjoy my time in the college…… Those of u who r already working I need not say anything but those who r still studying guys enjoy ur time in college those days wont come back……………….

Carpe Diem
