A Good Comeback!!



This blog has lived up to its name "zombies"-awakened from its dormant state,and so have we !!
This month began with all our minds set to that one word-"JOB".And Tcs,our saviour was the light at end of this placement tunnel ;).It was almost a do or die situation for which we entered into this phase where fun was a distant dream(but not so distant too:)).
8th January was the day when our IQ was put to test!A many new words flying across us at real time along with crazy passages about North Americans and what not and the usual Quant which increased in quantity and finally time ran out ;)-a written round that was attempted on pretty much an empty stomach(thats me :P).
Well the time kept ticking and the results kept us waiting until it struck half past midnight(AaaaaH ;))Bugs bunny gave the good news :) and next day we were to face interviews!!
9th January,a day which was pretty important and memorable for all of us!425 in number had their interviews.Some were grilling,some were a cake walk and for some there wasn even a proper tech round(Lambu!!).Some poor souls had to sit idle for hours in our very own indoor-Bull and Kd :D and later grab the meagre biscuits and samosas like refugees.
The interviews were slowly at its end and the wait for results trailed thru the night!
Tcs loved announcing results around 12 midnight!!A huge crowd at the indoor waiting eagerly while our "offer"letters were getting printed :)(sweet!).316 lucky ppl were part of the TATAS :) and of course,we zombies conquered this troublesome sea and waved the flags of victory!!!
1 am and we were filled with utmost joy :) :).hugs,group hugs,shouts of joy and smiles al over the place,it was a sight worth seeing :)Happiness personified :).
The week after was Accenture which opened a second door for Lambeshwar.Companies kept coming and it was an utter pain attending ppts.Cortina was a surprise with its high pay prize that made lazy zombie,bugs, write the test with a smelly mouth and niki without a bath :D.So unfortunate was that day that the test was screwing and Cortina decided to come another day to test our brains again!!(lambu:"condolences to al")But teacher cracked the test yesterday and walked in for the interview without a decent resume :P.she claimed to have cracked jokes with the hr lady and even made the interviewers disgusted with her "not-so-right" answers !
Well those results still awaiting.
Then came Bosch which brought confusion for niki and teacher(wen are you not confused teacher!!). I was one unfortunate fool to have got the wrong question paper which screwed up the rest of my day but niki was flying high as things were going her way :).She was the oly one for whom the doors of Bosch opened :) Yay!!
Then was Societe Generale,for which teacher was again confused but both of us sailed thru the written and gd easily :).But the interviews had conflicting questions of comparison-Subex and SG and Tcs and SG.Eventually I got my 2nd offer which was a grand ending to my placements :) thank u thank u ;)(i got goodies too :)).
Finally 29th January,the sun rose for one of our most most awaited plans-oh la la Wonderla!!(A comeback!).We zombies had a wonderful time together :)Sow showing great amount of courage to go in the scariest ride-Insanity!And water rides especially the wave pool were a lot and lot of fun!!
This month had its serious,happy and FUN times all in one huge package!
February,a beginning to the 8th sem which by all means gotta be,surely, memorable for us all
A good luck with the projects-IBM,DRDO,NI and Mindtree(:P)
Also good luck guys for ur 2nd offers :).
Chao :)
