Numbers....

Numbers... how simple and cute they are..!

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Only ten 'things'. Easy to learn, easy to remember.. Not a jargon at all..

Our day to day life is so interlinked with it.. and cant live a day with out using them in some form or other...

When we felt lonely, we punch in some number in our mobile phone...

we may type some message..Here Numbers are doing the job for us...

Numbers can make us happy, it can make us sad..it can make us laught and even cry..

When some a student gets higher number as their marks in any exam..it makes him/her happy..

While someone gets higher number as their rank..it makes them sad..

When someone gets higher number as money.. he is obviously happy..

When it is all about his debt.. he is the sad person..

when some number in certain order appears...it makes us happy..

If somebody is checking the results of a lottery draw..

and the number matches...!!!

So numbers are capable of causing even a heart attack..!

If you gave some exams ... and your roll number appeared.. you are a happy man..

You are eagerly looking for the free limit of your broadband plan..

You are tuning into some radio station...

You are flicking the channel using your remote controller..

Numbers are everywhere...

Without your permission, you are getting older and older..

Your age is shown by numbers..

The days you lived in this world is shown by numbers..

The coming days are shown by numbers..

Past..Present..Future..Eeverything is represented by numbers..

The whole world.. Each day.. Each minute and even each micro or nano seconds are counted using numbers...

If you misrepresent any number or change the order it can make a big difference..

In your exam, if you enterd the wrong number.. everything is gone.. you need not have to write the exam..

If you punch one different number while you callin someone..you will reach someone else..

If you change the number of your vehicle's number plate..you can be a criminal..!

If you add an extra 'zero' it can make a differnce of 1 lac and 10 lac..

A simple representation of number caused a lots of problem during the start of this century.. The Y2K problem..

Everything in this world..however small it might be.. how irrelevent it seems to us..(may be due to our repeated usage)...all have its own importance..

Thank you ' calendar ' for teaching me this lesson.. ;)

Placement diaries - 4 [ Infosys ]

It was the first placemnt in our college for our batch. And there comes the giant..infy..

Everobody was excited and all those who have cleared infy's criterion prepared for it.

We also worked hard, not by preparing with quanti books and al.. We were a group of 6 member...great friend.. and two of them where the main part of our colege's placement cell...and i was also happened to be a very enthusiastic, active meber of that team.. So we have to prepare the wholw scenario as per the recruiting people's wish. they wanted this much of chair, tables , desks, becghes etc in each class room..they have got the best in the class menu for their lunch..tea and al. We need to arrange all these thing.. we need to consider the candidates food and seating..and the registration...there are looots of stuffs behind the scenes related to a placement drive.. we were unaware of it till we started indulged in it..

So the day before the D-day we were all at our college..spending our time and energy to arrange everything.. In order to fulfil the requirement we had to carry desks and beches from a one floor to another floor.. and how the hell it all weighed only we knew..

After that we went to order food for the next day..printed out many forms and posters.. cleared the table..cleaned the room..the plates... and little bit of beautification of the room intended for interview..

When we finished all these the time was almost 6 'o clock in the evening.. And we have a 'life changing exam to give ' the next day morning.. So far prepared nothing.. But still time was there, but how about energy??!!!

Well then came a call from one of our friends that he was also attending the exam the next day and he was coming to our place. So we have to make arrangements for his accomodation at our place. So he came.. we found him out from the bus stand.. and aftr food and all we reached at our hostel.. by that time there was little energy saved in me to learn anything new.. so didnt give it a try..and went to bed. Then the student coordinator of the placement cell...my friend..my room mate.. told me to call him up early in the morning.. coz he wanted to receive the recruiting people from the hotel where they were staying.. As he was not that good a waking up early in the morning..the duty of waking him up in hte morning was also on my shoulders.. so with that things in mind..setting the mobile alarm at that specific time..i touched the bed and slept....

It was the d-day.. Started the day very early.. Woke my friend up..then after sometimes an Innova came to our hostel and he left to the hotel. So then I have to start to the collge early as the key of the placement cell was with me that day.. the sooner i started to college.. Reached there and found two other members there. And started the works for that day..

We opened the registratin counter..set up the bench and desk.. set up the projector and mic for the PPT..

By 9.30 the big people came by the same innova.. We greeted them and by 10'o clock the whole process got its life.. The PPT started.. after that there was the aptitude exam. As i have to attend in the exam i 'resigned' from the duty and got into my seat..we filled up some application forms.. and aftr we gave the exam..

After exam it was the time for luch.. We have to provide food for both the participant and the intervieving people. By that time results would be pubished and those who got short listed must had to attend the hr interview..

We have no role in checking the answers as it might lead to some unnecessary talk.. So the whole responsibility was on our juniours..

After a while the results got published.. Wel i have nothing going through my mind that time.Coz i was unsure of my clearing of that exam as i dint prepare anything for it..

But to my astonishment My name was also there along with other fortunate people.. Well one other girl also got through the exam.she was also there with us as a part of the placemnt cell through out the previous day.. like me she might also dint get any chance to prepare for the exam...

Well then came the time for interview.. I wasn't prepared for this interview either... just like the other siuations.. i borrowed the shoes..and with that i jus started waiting for my turn to turn up...

And at last it came.. it was rather a simple interview..may be the fiirst interview in which i spoke something.... he asked me about myself,family,hobbies,,,etc etc.. and my resume guided him... and haappily i came out from the room and joined my 'team placement '

Its the time of the most exciting waiting...waiting for the results of interview... Jus like anyone else i was also anxious about the intervies..

it was alsmost complete one and half hours we sat in a room expecting our results.. the boys and girsl..the only sound was their gasping.. The results were highly confidential matter..so no one in our team could sneak into it...

And to end all of our anxiety...the results came.. again i have to believe that it wasnt a dream and its reality that i have jus got placed with infy...My name was also ther.. i was hapy...my friends were happy..and everyone those who got placed were happy...and there were not too many people who dint get..most of them cleared the interview.. bcoz that was infy...may be....!!

well i am haapy.. but our duties were still not over...we have to do many works even after the placemnt drive..like doing reverse of what we had done earlier in the morning...!!! setting up everything back into their original state..;) !!!!

well later that night we had a blast... we all partied... and shared the joy...!!!

thats something about my first placement.. but story still continues.. ;)
