BACK TO COLL DAYS!

A gr8 experience!after a month of "professional life", was taken back to coll life environment....guess how??something even i had not expected....training for 2 weeks was scheduled from 25th of this month for another one week. Its basically a bird view of technologies and products here.some talks Quite interesting and some others go over head.one gr8 thing that happened is v really enjoyed these 4 days.ask how! exactly like v would do in our coll days.Attending classes and seminars for the sake of attendance,sitting back passing comments,laughing all the way trying to hide ourselves! finally come out and burst out!Some sessions were really interesting and informative but unfortunately many others were too boring.V would get completely bored especially in the post-lunch session...whatever the reasons may be!First day,there were experienced people in the crew and also geeks with master degree holders from IIT's. Some first 2 sessions, questions were shooted like anything,many irrelevant though!I felt many were completely unnecessary in the sense I felt in no way those information would help,and gradually u'll get to know as u work on products,also some info u'd get on the net if browsed rather bugging people here for info which just tax memory,and no 1 would be prepared to collect such statistics on mind! Well, let me not get deep into it! coz the more important and interesting issues r yet to come to light;)
Me and Shruthi were sitting physically there but mentally completely lost!What was going in our minds:r v the only 2 dumb girls here,not much things going into our head,feeling this session is of no use to us,and wondering how r others able to concentrate so much!after some time,decided to have a look on every1 else....first shock!a guy who was in the first seat in the morning session, and used to ask questions for every slide,and would never get convinced,had moved to the last seat!What was more interesting was, he from IIT-Chennai and was playing with a guy from IIT-Delhi! and what were they playing----"chukki ata"....a game of joining dots!....and they were playing this on tissue paper!!oooooooooof typical IITians :D!they continued this for the rest of the days as well!cool,really they've enjoyed! V couldnt control our laughter....next our eyes went on Sneha and Nivedita....crazy girls,they r trying their handwriting from left hand!after sometime I see again,seriously they r thinking something and making kinda points....stared for 2 more secs, got to know they r playing "cows and bulls" so nice! I remember the days v used to play inside classroom!, bingo,bollywod and more than that "fighter planes",i'm not getting the proper name for that,Prashali,what is that??????v used to play for nearly 2-3 periods!How can I 4get the dumb charads v were playing during class hours,across 3-4 benches!one in the bench starts laughing and the whole bench starts shaking!how many times VKA has stared at us. really frightening look she used to give,and for my luck/fate she became my project guide!but at last all ends well....she gave 95/100 for the dumb project!I suddenly remember 1 of the lecturer of sadvidya,physics dept....again there also our routine was sitting in last benches and laughing,he used to catch us so fiercely and a lecture after that for not less than 30 mins! god...i had got caught once and he asked a question,I answered :)physics had become one of my favourite subjects at that time and I used to fairly know things.He had not guessed that I'd answer!may be he was planning to spend the rest of the time targetting me,he was not ready to accept my correct answer,started with some theory all just to confuse us and finally came back to my answer, followed with his usual lecture!V were so helpless those days!whatever happens,should accept!another day,with a diff lecturer,and yes from physics again!"genda"-what all used to call him,he was taking current electricity for our class.One of the useless class was his and v all unanimously felt it was waste of time but used to attend min no. of classes for the sake of attendance!and dont ever imagine of taking notes of his sessions....but,sometimes I strongly feel I have to do somethings which every1 without a second thought skip!yes,I was maintaining notes for his sessions.In that class,it was Harini and Varsha who were completely involved in gossiping and got caught!they were sitting 2 benches ahead of me.he asked for their notes which were filled with lyrics of songs,cartoons this and that....they were asked to move out and for my surprise he suddenly asked for my notes!I was so happy after that to see his shocked face,he turned the pages nearly 4-5 times ensuring its my book and the stuff there was "physics".He knew very well that no 1 in the class would have maintained notes and had not even in his dreams expected that I'd have made sucha thing!his attitude towards me changed from that day,started giving a smile always from then!and nearly after 3 years since I left sadvidya,happened to see him near my house and he could very well recognise me with name!I had 1 more bad exp with YRR....hey it hink could have made a diff post for my sadvidya experiences....all most all bad ones :( yeah,coming back, me and shruthi were releived,thank god!no problem with us!v r like evey1 else and yes can say better ;)v too played BINGO,but just 1 game.2 girls in front of us!again experienced ladies who were so active for the starting sessions had completely come down.By this time it was dificult for 2 of us to control laughter,seeing others plays and faces!The 2 girls in front of us were very carefully examining and comparing their lunch coupons!!godd! what all things people do to kill time! after that even i turned mine and Shruthi's coupons back to see what was there;)By this time,every1 was damn bored....well the correct word would be "too tired",there were no questions,no interactions and 1 hour session would end in 40 mins!A very needed break v would get,at which time I used to return to my cube and try finish some tasks,for which Shruthi would always scold me ;)oooof another girl, completely slept,how dare she could do that! she could've walked out instead!nyways they were also points of entertainments for us!another guy,again a "specimen" after asking all high funda questions and doubts,asked "is ontap a filer??!"U can guss how me and shru would've reacted for that!that guy next tossed an orbit-may be or something like that to his mouth,next secong starting shaking hands vigorously..shruthi started "He is getting fits....see see"....I was getting scared if v'll be caugt for laughing like hell....next he bent his chair so low and was moving back and forth!"This guy will definitely break that chair today!"and v bursted again!One guy used to frequently go out and come....and would carry his mobile such a way that every1 gets to know hes gettng a call!shruthi again " how many calls he gets a day, y will no 1 call us??", and my answer "I too get hutch calls nearly 6-7 a day ;)shruhti started drawing my pic finally!"what not! hmmm another girl, daily used to come nearly 40 mins late, the first session would've come to an end!again would extend her breaks for atleast 10-15 mins....finally used to enter the post lunch session,with the dress changed and fresh make up!!!!!gr8 !! hey appreciate our observation skills,what not have v noticed!our next observation, y do people get 2-3 cans of tropicanas together!I dont feel like drinking that at all....completely filled with sugar and ,,,,,,,,,,,,other preservatives....one can i drank and the whole day felt like puking!leave thats individual "taste"!
Next today HR training....about coll to corporate life....thought it'd interesting, but not as expected. V had really enjoyed such training after 6th sem in coll which was the CII traning....unforgetable days! But this here didnt attract much,dunno the reason....may be v very well know those things or the time for implementaton of those "thoughts","values" and "actions" has come and its becoming difficult for us to accept!now dont ever ask me what this means....
Lets c how it'll go tomorrow!and for the next week,it looks completely technical.hope things dont go over my head and these sessions will really help some way!
