Training @ Cognizant

I received my Date of Joining mail on 16 Oct 2011, I was so happy that finally I got that. I was the only one from my college to get the mail to report on that particular day so I went pretty much alone. I reported in MEPZ on Oct 20th from the next Monday my training began in Siruseri. I was able to spot many people who studied with me in school on the first day of Induction.

Initially I was placed in customized batch then was moved to Advance JAVA or J2EE in a generic term. I got pinned to IME vertical that handles clients related to Information, Media and Entertainment domain.We were trained in batches of 24, curse or charm I got into a batch with 20 girls! Whatever it didn't last for long, I was pretty much comfortable after getting out of it. My school was co-ed but classes were separate for boys and girls never mind 8th and 12th grades, where I was put into co-ed classes because I'm a good boy :P In college I remember studying together with girls nope remember seeing girls in my class cause they used to mug we used to bunk

Whatever I never felt comfortable with girls, good that I was put into batch of more boys at least marginally. If you were following my blogs susa360(extinct) & answer360 and my friend Vibin's privatevibin(extinct) blog you might have some reason to smile about girls :D Slowly the training began with "Dude" trainer to whom we bid adieu so that someone who really knows Oracle can teach us. Then came Sasirekha fairly fine trainer even she made us yawn for JAVA classes or is that my concentration was not there :) May be I was not there :P

Cognizant gave a new insight to life, new practices, new friends, new life, knowledge. "Ain't they colleagues" you might ask but no they are friends all freshers we never behave like morons just humans :P To be honest I even gained some new female friends not all girls behave same, I wish no girl from my college reads this :D I even volunteered for a CSR stuff they call it JA-Junior Achievement, which help in shaping up the future mind to better pick what they are going to be and study accordingly, so thereby reducing the number of engineering aspirants :P just kidding. 

Reaching Siruseri from my home is a herculean task, so I took the office bus which picks me up from Chromepet GST road to office and drops me back to same location. Wires can help anyone push the one hour and fifteen minute by taking you to trans-music world. I practiced it for sometime didn't work for me got my headset torn :( so I worked on relationships :) made new friends found companion. Was little life journey taking me to new world, professional world. Some nice little breeze from Pallavaram - Thoraipakkam Highroad have always begged to slow down the bus.

Here we had some exams to clear before getting into business, its was never a problem because papers! they help. Its more like a Q&A book which made many Anna University students as Engineers, they even existed in corporate :D Wonder what I even topped in a paper but that's the only subject for which I did study only using official materials.

I can't stop writing myself about the first month salary and the new joy of spending own money. Actually I received my first month salary in second month :P weird! not so for me because I choose an International banker I had to deal with that. I planned to buy new clothes for my family including Caesar, a collar for him. Parents they always see you like child, permission denied :( so all that I bought was a silver coin and sweets, but it also made me feel well :) Good thing they didn't restrict me from using Debit card asked not to spend much, they never check account the trust worked I didn't spend much, except for the new culture's treats :)

Even though the training concentrates on Technology, Vertical, Horizontal, Domain, Client Satisfaction, Peer, Team work, Leadership and some more words which can possibly send your head in spin, I learnt many things but not any of the above. It provided us a platform to work, it taught us how we can possibly work. It showed some people with great knowledge and attitude and asked us to be them with no choice...

      hi Anand since you asked... I'm from Electronics stream too it was not tough for me, one does not simply clear it but you'd get a lot of help from trainers and peers you'd know it when you are in. feel free to reach me once you are into organization you can search my full name in global address book.
      Some say Its easy to clear test from Pune than Chennai I'm not gonna sat why now you'd understand it :) Cheers!

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

When would the thriller end in Group B?

Chennai, 18/01/2011 World Cup 2011, the final four from Group B is to be decided in the last league match of the tournament. If the last played match in Group B between England and West Indies on 17/03 was won by West Indies there would not be any problem. Now I'll discuss the possibilities! If Bangladesh is to Exit This is the simplest of all, if BAN is going to lose against South Africa they'll make their way out from World Cup. If West Indies is to Exit This is next possible if BAN wins SA, and India wins West Indies they are out with 6pts while team ahead of them will have 7pts and 8pts. If England to Exit This is next in list, If BAN wins over SA. If Ind Vs WI match ends with WI winning by small or moderate margin. If India to Exit The most impossible to happen thats why I say India is already qualified! After BAN wins SA, WI must achieve a target over 250runs in 25 overs or target over 300runs in 30 overs. If India is going to chase West Ind...

How to make Recycle bin understand your mood? Delete operations made easier

I know the title is bit void ;) but i can't come up with better. With the internet age on high we are finding it difficult to actually delete outdated items. So here is way to make your Recycle bin to understand you. How? Properties dialog box of it :) Recycle bin Properties dialog box Right click Recycle-bin icon to access Properties , at the bottom of dialog box you'd find a check box (Red box in image) whether to ask for conformation un-check it when you are on week-end PC clean work. Delete operations are now just a button away ;) cool isn't it, but beware of consequences. {Sorry for the old-look image I use windows classic theme, as I heard it will use only minimum processor so speed will increase you can try this too } Still not enough you want the file to go away... just go away instead of sitting in recycle bin watch the pink box. Click configure for independent drives, every drive tab will have options similar to as Global settings except for '...

Microsoft showing no mercy: Morro and Media player 12 are neither for XP user nor for Vista users

Windows 7 beta version went on to places replacing all other operating system. Even before the official launch of the OS Microsoft was ready to launch software which will not work on xp or partially on Vista. Windows Vista was a big failure for Microsoft they lost their market; Not because of its incompatibility to software’s without digital signature or pirated software but also because of the requirements and the large space that it occupies for no reason. Once Microsoft was The commander in chief the OS market with Windows XP later with its service packs. The fall of the giant was not because of Mac or Useless firewall it was because of the much hiked Vista. Vista was a good for nothing OS neither they were little nor compatible; Even though they caught the minds and eyes of many failed to rule the market as XP did. Windows 7 successor of Vista is not just a compatible OS its requirements are lower than its predecessor. There is no problem in Windows 7 but it is creating pr...

A trip to Meluha alongside Shiva

I never comment about his attitude or his grin face very ill tempered guy… no one wants to mess with him. He was breathing heavy probably he just battled out someone near our lake’s bank or was he resting after his regular practice. Why does the blood stains are still there in his sword probably he just put few life to end, just before I could ask him to wash them we heard some announcement deep from Manasarowar. Couple of strangers were using some bizarre tools to shout, actually they are inviting us to their town. I wanted to warn of letting strangers inside village but Shiva had other ideas, he was sure they are not part of local barbaric tribes. May be our ancestors mustn’t have allowed other tribes to fetch water from the holy lake, their thirst was for blood not water. I thought he can discuss about foreigners to him but he was so depressed about next barbaric attack from local tribes. Before dusk another attack we were not able to prevent the murder of kids and women. Ruthl...
