The TTP (Started on 22/12/2005) 7.59 pm on my office PC and Jenni is online and wanted me to write the blog after seeing my friend's blog thanks to her who helped me to end another cool year(9days yet for 2006) in the somewhat useful way.... of course, my current project is nearing to end so not much work......its good to recall the good old memories of my First interview after my 30 months of IT experience................thank my DAD and God .................now am in a good position and of course not in good project............but few lumps are sure at the month end.

This Blog is all about me and my friends..........For the sure, it's not about the tuff situation we faced to get the JOB while we are on a job hunt............... it's all about the Funny things which happened in My first Interview Thanks to Thangesh.................. In fact, he is the one who built my first Resume for job hunting in Pondicherry. TATA Motors Walk-in Interview venue was MAAS Hotel Pondicherry
I somewhat remember it's May 10th, 2003 (not precise) but for the sure, it's the 2nd week of May 2003 because I am not done with my BE arrear exams ……yeah, I almost waited more than 17 days to give one arrear paper ……….after giving all my current 8th Sem papers………… I remember May 17th, 2003(My best friend Satya's birthday) the day I wrote my last Exam in my college to get my degree and I still remember it, Electronic Microprocessor(3rd Sem Paper)
Its the evening of May 1oth 2003 as I told ………….we are at Thiruvanmiyur Bus stop to catch the mofussil Bus that goes to
Balaji looked like an executive with a suitcase and dressed formally in shoes on. Ramesh was pukka and showed up like a westerner with shorts, a T-shirt, and a cigarette in his hand ………yes he is the only guy who smokes in that group at that time(note).
Out of all....... I am the only one with a hopeless mindset because I don't want to attend the interview because I am not done with the exams….......I was waiting for the bus with them only because of the efforts taken by Ramesh and Thangesh……….yes they wants me to feel what the real interview is …………and of course, me too. So it's more like a picnic trip for me. No interview tensions!....... nothing! ……..only thing in my mind is just wanting to sit in the interview.
Balaji was my classmate then and Ramesh(Popularly Known as Acid Ramesh in College) was my college senior it's rare to continue friendships with seniors once they are out of college, in that case, am lucky that Ramesh is my very good friend still!……....Thank god he is also in a good position now
We got into the bus around 6 and the bus started moving in ECR it's the very road where Every teenager in Chennai wants to drive their bike with their girlfriend in a pillion……exactly what was running in mind when am going to get a bike to do that!…………..I hope everyone with me might have thought about that at least once on that bus journey in ECR.
It's more than 3 hour journey to pondicherry by bus…...... it's natural if four guys traveling together they will start making fun by pulling one-others leg ……….same thing happened with us we are enjoying the trip . we talked and laughed at everything right from the fuss I created in the Light music competition to the Funny thing that happened with Ramesh's proposal to his batch mate …............though Ramesh laughed with us am sure he was a bit depressed it's natural ……………..because he was not settled properly at that time though he finished degree one year before us………I don't know when and how our talking went into a serious path.
Ramesh told a story of some XY guy who didn't get a job for a long time and finally got placed in a reputed company with a good pay pack…………and am sure its there in his inner mind that he wants to get through this interview to which we were going ………..I literally prayed to god for him at that moment on the bus.
We reached
The MASS hotel where our interview center was ………soon we entered the room we came out
For the energy drink (what pondy is famous for?)……..yeah …… Ramesh went for
Royal challenge beer……….we 3 joined him keeping a side dish in mind …………but that bloody guy opted for a traditional Tamil Nadu style(pickle)……soon after dinner we returned to the room
Next day morning ………I wanted to make a Resume ready before my interview…...so we went to a nearby browsing center……..Thangesh is an active member in preparing and editing the Resume(always) ………And that was my first Resume in life built in Pondy….....we reached the interview hall an hour after that …..it was not crowded that much as we expected….many guys from Chennai were also seen…..a fat lady came out to collect the resume from all of us waiting outside……....my ultimate aim was to sit and experience the interview rather clearing it ………for that my Resume should be shortlisted first…....but unfortunately all our Resume was rejected ……...because they need the candidate with a speaking knowledge in French………that’s the place I felt why I didn’t opt French as my second language after 10th…….....we came out of the hotel with the same speed we entered……….Even though we laughed something was running through all our minds…….cant say...... what it is?.......................soon after that, we started from pondy except Ramesh(he wanted to knock on the doors of all the companies in pondy)…I reached my home for Dinner………Soon I entered my house my mom and sister asked
What happened in the interview?
Yeah! Yeah! it was good!.... they were happy with my skill set but they want a guy with the French language …… it's an immediate requirement for
Though I just went to sit in the Interview ……………I didn’t say that, I said Goodbye at the Interview hall door itself! …………Till now my mom doesn’t know that!……I still don’t know why my 390g doesn’t allow me to accept the truth………… readers can say why?!............. mail me, please!
It may not be too funny as I told you in the beginning………but it is true that
If you think about your past after a course of time you feel like laughing
That’s what happening now ………am looking back after 30months
If it happened to me to write this soon after the incident ………..am sure I won't say its funny…………. This is what life is according to me.
Since it's my first blog I don’t know what made me write such a big essay kind of thing…………but am helpless!.
I will try to come up with a short and sweet blog in the future.
