The biggest day of my life- The placement story!

Today was the biggest day of my life till date, I got placed in Infosys Technologies. Someone had asked me yesterday that whether I will be sitting for Infy or not, to which I replied-"Well I have put in my resume now lets see whether they short list it or not". Then he told me all the best n Hope tomorrow is ur day. Well it turned out to be my day.

A day before Infy came, whole day I was studying (That was the only day I studied for placements). I completed Ross in 6 hours flat. I think I havn't studied this much for any of the exams in BIM. Then read Gujju's(Himanshu) CBM notebook.

At 12.30 a.m. I went to Vasant's room to wish him on his b'day. There three of us ie me, Vasant and Vasanth started discussing about the Basel 2 norms, then our summer projects n finally both of them had to tolerate my cribbing about Infy not taking non-engineers last year, infact I cribbed a lot about that. Anyways went back to my room at 4.30 in the morning to catch with some sleep. At 8 am my roomie Chitappa woke me up, I told him hey they wont shortlist my resume as I am not an engineer so let me sleep; but some how he got the better of me n I had to get up.

Went to the MHD for the PPT, after the PPT they asked for the resumes for shortlisting. N I came back to my room to catch up with my sleep. As I was about to lie down, Nishad called up n told me that my resume has been shortlisted. Then I hurriedly shaved, took bath n went back to the MHD.

Well if I say I was nervous before the interview, it wont be wrong. I was jumping all over the place, but a few words of encouragement from Kavitha, did wonders. Well I went inside n the interview was great, the guys from Infy were really amazing. Well if before the interview I was jumping then after the interview I was flying.

Well the first to be selected was Aparna and then 20 of us followed her into Infy. When YLK sir told about "the boy who cleared the hurdle at the last moment", people around me knew that it was me, but even then I wanted to hear my name.

Well it was kinda dream for me, infact not even in, my sweetest of dreams, even day dreams I had thought of getting into Infy. Well it took me a few days to come to terms with it.

Well I would like to thank a few people from the bottom of my heart- Vasant, Vasanth, Kavitha, Nishad, Himanshu, Sai, Sri Vidya, Adhikari, YLK sir, Sankar sir n infact everyone in BIM.
