Stage Jitters

My parents were watching Amrita T.V. They were so involved into it and I thought would peep in to see what it was. It was some voice hunt kinda thing among kids in Kerala. It was called Super Junior contest. So just settled to see few of them perform and seeing them; I felt small. When I was in my school, I used to be a part of every elocution and dance competition. Then facing judges and people were not even a matter of concern. For that case; in one Tamil Mandram's Poem recitation competition, my mom prepared me to recite a good Kanadasan’s Poem.

Back Again!!!!

Back again to form.... After lots of unimportant but unavoidable work around, here I am back to this world. Now started working in full swing in office. So all TCS'ians, please do tell me how you keep blogging, when all the sites are being blocked. ILP- A session for transforming us to professionals was over by January 12th. And we were asked to report to Chennai office on 16th. With full expectations and excitement [obviously you know people like me are bit over enthusiastic] were there in office. The first shock that brought us to reality was when we were asked to stay away from the office blocks and asked to be either in cafeteria or in jogging track. Che…First day in office and cafeteria???? Wherein we were expecting some welcome speeches in a comfortable A/C conference room. Even then we didn’t let our spirits go down. At the end of long uneventful day, the whole lot of associates who were asked to report on that day were allotted to different branches in Chennai. So one major
