Finali i leave da trainin room...

I am always think i will blog frequently - and proudly quote dat blogging is my all time hobby n well…I am seriously able to blog as much as a normal guy who works 17 hrs per day wud do – not that I do that much work- not for all da gold in the world…but well I simply don’t simply to remember the golden line – ‘blogger.com’ so dat it can sometimes adorn the explorer bar of my firefox with it…

Well da core line of the blog signifies it all today- training over- work begins…question 2- is the work hectic? Doesn’t seem so as of now, but afaihh(as far as I have heard) it is…question 3- is the work interesting? – pretty much – but I don’t know if I shall be completely honest in stating that…coz well it isnt part of my agenda in life – still experience to lena hi hai – and it doesn’t concern a specific department in SSI…covers a whole range of possibilities and functions, relating different departments – if I can best put it…and its altogetha a different kinda work – all I need is now to plunge myself into it, so that I can start liking it soon…

Although I still gotto get my concepts cleared…certain procedures etc taken care of…etc etc…for starters I have received a temporary desk on the 8th floor…and so have my other 2 teammates who departed from the training group with me…howeva ‘desktops’ wasn’t exactly my idea of a perfect job…still seekin da kinda system about 75 percent of SSI has here – a laptop to be specific – don’t know when I get dat, but it will be good workin wid it…

As of today we just had review of some docs, and then one of the guys in the team explained da flow of da code which he was handling, to me…so dat I wudnt have ne probs with it later – he is goin on a leave – which reminds me – I must think about setting my own timetable properly now…

So far so good…havent yet found ne bloggers here in SSI..though me sure there will be a pretty big number hiding deir faces in the laptops and typin out their day-to-day happenings…shall update as soon as I locate one…

Ciao for now..

Things sumtimes just dont go ur way...

This post is about 2 main things - how i want to proceed in life- and how is life proceeding for me...

Lets talk first bout da former...

Dreams - according to the most of the motivating books i have read till now, are wat take u forward in life - how many times in life have i heard the line - dont ever give up on ur dreams...thats what i have always agreed with n will to - think bout it - life will certainly change with say a high-edge percentile in the mocks - confidence enough to crack a 100 percentile on Dday, following which zoom thru the GD/PIs of the major b-schools, get thru the one rite at the top, slog ur ass for the next 2 years and move to the managerial field i have always wanted in life - an HR manager - or da least to say a Systems wida Marketing degree that wud me scale pretty high too...wat say then?? i get wat i want and a comfy life with a wife follows (correction - the second thing is an altogetha different experiment in life)...

Or say the famed management side proceedings dont go very well...well then proceed far off in the company itself - say the time taken to climb the ladder is long - still worthy enugh if u can be a functional consultant initially, slowly elevate upwards to the Staff stage and then move to the HR side..why not? after all, my skills reside in that area itself...life can be a cake-walk after that too naa? say a senior HR manager in 2-3 years...wudnt mind da toil of 2 eyars for that...

Lets come to part 2 of the discusssion...ahem! dats where i am at present naa...

Bored and bugged of life...as a rule to parallelism or shud i say 'antonymism', evry thing just doesnt proceed in da way u want it to sometimes...2nd attempt at the Common Aptitude Test and yeah - i'm a pretty bad second attempter - reasons - things not gettin serious enough due to the time spent at work...returnin home by 8-9 and well...formalities of bath and lunch takin up more time than normal...result - havin the preparatory material as the sleepin partner at nite - no dats not at all romantic...

Work seems to be goin fine with the trainin, but well things are gona get tough when we put in my stream - the name Interfaces and Conversions and all da things i have heard bout it till now dont reali sound so good as far as my career graph is concerned...but still the name Oracle - so gotto go by da rule that things will be tougher initiali- but well u gotto have patience...n maybe maybe better things are in store for u later...

Bout a month left for CAT and the tests to follow...n my blog overflows with my failure stories...
