Ganesh ne vaapas bulaaya...

Know i havent edited you for long blog - but just as i had told i will...well da month that passed in Bangalore had actually been the month where i did learn a lot...to write evrytin bout it is actually out of bounds, coz there is so much which happened...listin the main events here -

- enrolled for TIME Aimcats - defintely worth takin them...six are over and my ranks are hoverin in the 1100's...want to pull them up to the 500's which is definitely possible...i answer them at St Francis College at Kormangala where i used to stay with my cuz...

- enrolled for Career Avenues Mock Cats - slightly on the easier side but here are the actual teachers who can give one a real feedback on how to answer the paper etc etc...struck up one 60 lately in one of the papers - but nowhere does that mean that it will be easy enugh to do dat on Nov 20...

- used to travel to Richmond Street almost evryday to go to Career Avenues(cav for short)...real tiring as i had to get down on Double Road and walk ahead from there..the buses wud neva wactually go there..

- usse yaad aaya - one great achievement...the BUSES - which i have got a good heck of by now - i mean the bus numbers which most people dread coz they tend to be hard to remember...n most of the times u have to change two buses etc to go to a single destination.

- Another thing which happened recently - my Ganesh gift i shall call it...made it thru Oracle - to be precise Oracle Solutions Services India or OSSI for short at Bangalore...here were the proceedings
-> 6th August called for test at the OSSI office at Commerce@Mantri on Bannerghatta road(sweet dreams of IIMB)...
-> Test in mornin comprisin of aptitude, math, englisn(exactly of CAT) and tech stuff too(databases and pointer programmin-picked for Y Kanetkar)...bombarded it like netin- probably main reason why i got thru...a good score
->selected among the top 33 from the 300-400 students- (this was following an essay - topic -'Finish what you start'...wrote real well - quoted examples of da Software Industry itself...
->immediate interviews...mostly HR kind..but main tech part bein of the Final Year project on which i was asked a lott..but went well...
->told to leave as we wud be notified later...guess wat - first notification aft 2 weeks (had almost given up hope - only for the fact that it had all gone real well)..sent a form which i was told to fill along with updated resume and send to be called for da next steps of entrance...me was surprised..
->waited for one week...only to see the offer letter itself in my inbox on the next friday..elated like netin!!

Now back to Goa to an awaitin thrilled parents...after havin spent some great time with my best friend who was who equally quite thrilled bout Oracle happenin...and me bein selected as an Associate Consultant (ahem!)...and what a great occasion - Ganesha Chaturthi itself...party time indeed!!...So me here for the next 2 days now n leavin on friday with parents to Blore...where i have found a pg at Kormangala...Oracle joinin on Sept 12th ie coming Monday..so maybe i can edit some more of you after i join there..
