24 march 2007 - a special day in my life which pushed me from college life to a corporate life. Yeah that was the day I got placed in Satyam computers services ltd., On 22nd march 2007, Thursday, our class started with usual gossips and confab. At 12 noon, our placement officer Mr.AJAY entered the classroom and informed students, to come n collect the hall ticket at 1 pm for the Satyam placement drive to b held at SA ENGG COLLEGE, the very next day...
I was consciously absent and had no idea how to prepare for it. After returning home and browsing for some ques paper pattern in Freshers world website, I was confident that i can face the first level test without fear.
23 march, Friday, we all friends met at Guindy and reached SA ENGG COLL. We reached the test hall at 10 and gave our test. It contained totally 15 ques out of which at least, 4 must be right and there was negative markings too. I did 5 sums correctly which were of logical, probability, figure sum and a math ques. Then I attempted all d 15, in a thought that if at least 2 is correct then 8 can b wrong. After waiting for a long time, the aptitude test results were announced at 4 pm. I was praying god that I should get rejected on that day(Friday) or get placed on the next day(Saturday). Somehow me and Shalini cleared the test.
On 24 march, Saturday, myself n shalu visited SA engg coll for next rounds. We heard that still 2 more rounds to go. Knowing nothing about the GD topics, we sat idle on the lawns with shivering hands . Then in the GD round, my team was given the topic "is dress code to b followed in coll?". We were totally 10 members in our team and we together had only 8 min to discuss on the topic.A gal from savitha engg coll initiated the GD and said agreed that dress code should be followed, then continuing her a guy and gal, I was struggling long to get my chance to talk and whence got,I just disagreed with my friends on the topic. I said "dress is a part of college life, if v go abroad or on-site to represent our company or country v must wear formals only,so its not much necessary to b followed in college life"...after fighting for 8 min and exiting d room I felt like, I was in a coma for sometime and came out. I was unable to recollect whatever happened in the GD session. Shalini also experienced d same.After the GD results were announced, I was quite normal, but tears rolled on shalini's cheeks which reflected too on me. In the mean time v gone through and referred some topics in c, c++, java, blah blah..Atlast I was the first to be called for hr round. That hr fired so many ques, I tried to ans many and say it was almost like a stress interview. I was confident that I shall get placed in Satyam. That evening was very worst that v did not have lunch, or any snack from morning, just filled our stomach with college well water. When the final results was announced at 9.45 pm,our names were called out in series priya, shalini, arsha booshan. No limits for my happiness on that night, we became "satyamite"!. It was one of the happiest moment which I can never forget in my life.
Thanks to my college, placement officer, and to SATYAM as well.

Need betterment @ govt offices
It was one fine day, me and my friend visited "JAYAPRAKASH NARAYANA MAALIGAI", the so called employment exchange located at santhome, chennai which literally says "Employement to everyone". I was shocked to look at the crowd where a mass of people of all ages were already waiting to get their new subscription cards, renewal cards..blah blah....
We inquired about the procedure and finally found the place where the forms for freshers were kept. After filling the necessary details in the form, we submitted it. The officer asked us to wait outside to collect our cards. I found many girls from outskirts of city who failed to submit their necessary proofs like ration card, community certificate etc, were told to make a call to their home and send d copy of proof via a fax machine. I was happy to hear that officer's suggestion to those girls. But, happened what? "powercut" announced by tamil nadu govt for an hour. Those girls were in a hope that they could take print out after an hour, unfortunately, a transformer sparkled for a while and it was again a power cut thatlasted for a long time.
And there was no proper waiting place for the people as everyone was supposed to wait outside which looked like "people are hanging towards the government for their job". Does it look good? Atlast when the power came the officer called out d names and issued their respective cards. It was funny as he called the name akila as"aala", vijayarani as "jayarani" and made so much of confusion. My name and my friend's name were called in the last moment and he handed our card. As the clock stuck 4 pm, everyone dispersed from that place and the office was closed. I wish that Tamil Nadu Govt can better improve their office premises with
1) place to rest [for public not officers]
2) drinking water and rest rooms
3) uninterrupted power supply
4) computerised methods
5) last but not d least, respect the public
