Reporting from Infy Mysore...

"To err is Human, To Forgive is Not Company Policy"

This Message,I received some days ago,along with many many forwarded messages tht every Infosisian receives every day.... A nice and funny message,but the real meaning,I came to know only yesterday(means thursday).... The reason is simple...My room mate was fired from Infosys as he didnot meet the required selection criteria.... It is in 12th,not in BTech.... He said tht he didnt know tht the cutoff was 65%(he had only 60.5).... It was a sad moment.. I mean,only a day ago,did v celebrate My B'Day party(Not much yaar... only a small party).. He was all laughing @ tht time,and I didnt had a clue abt all the things tht was supposed 2 happen.. But he knew tht within 48hrs,he has 2 resign from Infy.. Tht is the cruel Irony about this whole Incident. He didnt say anything 2 me @ tht time.. Then,on thursday,he send me a mail saying all these things... He was in Tina's class,and she was telling tht he was one of the smart and helping guys ter.. Wen I went back 2 room,he was there.. I couldnt find words 2 say 2 him... Then,on friday,he left Infy,2 B'Lore,again,2 start the job hunt!! I hope tht Both Luck and God be with him... Byee mate... Hope 2 c u again,somewhere,someplace!

p.s.:-My new room mate is a guy frm Kottayam... A calm guy...Valiya samsaram onnum illa..
And,Yogi came here on saturday,and I wonder y he was here!! Hmmm... Mayb 2 c some1(???) I didnt c him..jackie told me tht thing.. Mandi and gang is here.. Heard she scored 48/50 in C#.. Ivalokke enthinanontho padikkunathu!!! Got Bonney's mail 2day.... I am posting the letter here...

A Day of Pranks.....( ;-)

Well,I actually wanted 2 write about the Great Fire Drill that v had yesterday.. But Dhanya wrote about it yesterday.. So,I am writting abt. another incident that happened a couple of days ago!! None including Anu knew abt. this incident,as none were around.. It occured in FC2.... i.e Food Court 2... There was me,aby,kc,mansu,teena,santhi and another girl called manjusha(Mansu's classmate)... V all were seated there,and having dinner,when kc announced this...

kc:- eda aby,nammal innu ravile kanda karyam ippol parayatta??
aby:- eethu karyam??
kc:- innu ravile nammal orale kandu...evide kandu?? Gym-il!! Veere aarum alla,nammude shanti!!
shanti:- eda,ningal enganne aarinju aathu??
kc:-aathu mathram alla,nammal ninte video iduthitundu... ramuvinte digicamil!!! ;-)
shanti:- eda,kashtam undu...aathu delete cheyyanam
aby:- nangal aathu Mcetil ulla ellavarkkum fwd chayyum...

After tht,shanti was mood off,and didnt speak 2 us... She went and ordered a Pizza(yeah,thts right).... and sat at another table... after the meals,she just went out and just said a formal Byee 2 all of us...Meanwhile,v were organising a master plan.... In between,Tina and manjusha also became victims of our gang!!!

The plan was simple....

One of us is gng 2 call her room and talk 2 her as a person frm HR,or some one Important... And accuse her of Mis-Using ECC(Employee Care Center) facilities... Naturally,I was the choosen one,for various reasons which include previous examples!!! So,V went 2 a PCO,and the following conversation occured... The reason for this prank was simple enough... Yeah,there is a reason...V r not cold blooded people.... KC was a little hurt by that incident...so,v planned ths one..

So,I dialed her room No...She picked up the phone

Me:- Hullu,is this room of Ms. Shanti shasi-dharan Naai..r?? (As if I had trouble pronouncing these south indian words...Actually,many ppl here have trouble...)

She:-yes,speaking...

Me:- Ma'm,I am frm ECC..V have received an information tht u were misusing Gym facilities!! This is serious and action may b taken against u..blah..blah..and some kalip blah..blah!!!

She:- No...I didnt...other blah...blah...I have taken pass,I am a member of ECC...blah..blah..

Me:- OK...do u have pass??(She was almost into tears...I can understand it frm her words..SO,I decided 2 end this prank quickly!!!)

She:- Yes Sir(Oh yeah,Sir...she called me Sir.... I fall for tht word.... OH....Gives me "Romanjam" hehe ....Jocking... Others were standing outside...Mansu was laughing like hell...KC was sitting on lawn and laughing...aby was lying on lawn..)

Me:- OK...then go to facilities room,and get a photocopy of ur pass,and Submit it....

She:-OK sir,I will do it...2 whom shld I submit??

Me:- Submit it 2......

she:- 2 whom??

Me:- 2.....Mr.Krishna Chandran....

Then,I heard her slamming the Phone... I hope it is not broken.....
Every1 was laughing out here....Then KC called 2 her cell,and peace was declared!!!!
But it was damn fun tht night.....

And,in between,I learned 2 play pool,and billiards,and also tried my luck in bowling....hehe..
Now,only tennis and Gym remains!!! But I dont think tht I will get time!! This weekend,there is no cinema in multiplex... So,getting bored,eventhough I have assignments 2 complete.. And,I got the permenent ID card frm Infy....Damn...I make this Luk good!!! And Then there was this stupid fire drill yesterday... The security ppl was very serious... they were running around...V were walking slowly...some girls took the umbrella,others took their coffee mugs,2 grab some coffee... some others were waiting 4 their PC's 2 get shut down...I just locked my PC and was walking along... I heard tht in some classes,girls started screaming and were running... In Aby's class,the guard came into class and spoke something in Kannada...No 1 understood even a single word.... A girl who understood,jumped from their seat,and ran out of the class,screaming "Bomb...Bomb"..Then every1 else too jumped and started running... The situation was almost similar in other classes..In our class,the guard just came in and said every1 2 go to football court...He didnt mention anything...So,V didnt knew wht was gng on until v reached football court!!! One thing is 4 sure,If any real thing happen,most of us wld b dead!!!!

Anyways,thts it 4 2day guys....I hope Naru is having a wonderful life @ suntec....

Induction of a Suntecian...

An year back...leave alone...three months back...if someone said I would up end up in Suntec, I would have been laughing my ass of!
Not that I am in it completely...signed the papers (Even a stamp paper! My first ever!) and got my appointment letter...
Vallathil oru kaal chavitti...avarenne full aayittu pidichu akathu idumo atho vellathil thalli idumonnu kandariyaam!

These three days were the induction programme...to be frank I expected boring lectures...but got some precious insight into the company and any good product company in general.
First day was intermittent discussions with mega breaks for tea, lunch etc...
AC conference hallil irunnu thanuthu boradichu...none of us could get the AC controls right...Pinne spent times kathiyadi and playing with the swivel chair! Nalla rasamaanu aadan! :P

14 of us joined that day. 3 of us for technical writing, 10 as software engineers and 1 lady as HR. One of the software guy was rejoining and was somehow made to sit with us in the first day. He wasn't there the second day, so 13 of us...reminds of the last supper...will I be the Christ? :P
8 girls and 5 guys. One of the guy was in our class in MCET before the first reallotment. His name in Krishnakumar.
This batch is kinda unique that all are Malayalees...almost all others had north indians in them.

And speaking of which...there are a lot of Northies here...and our COO is British. He was on leave this week, so we didn't get to meet him. Saw the induction sheet of an earlier batch and in that he was mentioned for a session.
Sessions were very good...but some made me sleepy mainly because its ages since I sat in a class...5 minutes into Quality Assurance session and I got a fine grasp of CMMI. Earlier had mugged up and thought it in a different manner.
Most of the session takers (if not all) are the top people here. Some sessions where terrific like consulting, marketing, implementation (the second implementation session was very hot! :D ;) )

Today and the first day was at Kuravankonam and yesterday was at Technopark. We are at Nila. (Sulu, we are neighbours!) Now on its three weeks product training at the new Knowledge Center in Vazhuthacaud. We are the first batch in that facility. This will be over by October 6th. After that our posting will be at Technopark.
Training is very interesting. No classroom sessions. Training will be same for all of us, tech writers and software dudes. A complete study of the various products. Then on it will be hands on training for all of us. Seems to be much better than the boring and pretty useless classroom sessions.

Software guys would absolutely rock here. They get to work on some great stuff and never have to sit in a bench.

Food is pretty good at the Kuravankonam canteen. The veg pulao on day one sucked. But today's food was great. A little expensive though. But we dont get to eat here anymore :(
A security from my school is working here now. He is a pretty cool guy. Not sulky like other security people.

Now on its a hectic time for me. Suntec pretty stringent about Internet usage from office. Will get a better idea only after we join. It seems my nocturnal life would never really end! :D

Rock on people! God bless everybody!
