Stress, Disappoinments, Happiness& much more..

I had all these mixed feelings in these 4 months... Will describe each in brief.. At least from now onwards i ll be sincere to blog here...
TATA TECHNOLOGIES
With Some hope i attended the Tata Technologies interview.. The Mam who gave the PPT for Tata Technologies was good.. Don know why my friends didn't like her.. Well not necessarily every one's expectations are same.. Then we had 1st round.. Aptitude.. The paper was a bit tough.. i was only able to get answers for few questions.. Venkat made a blunder by marking all the answers in question paper itself.. Bad luck venkat.. The results were announced.. And i got my name in the 3rd(final) panel.. Karthick found his name in the 1st panel.. Dharmendra's name was not there in the selected list.. So Sad.. TATA missed him... Then i attended the Group Discussion round.. The Title was a bit simple..'Business and ethics dont go together..' On the allocated time of 20 mins the mechatronics girl started to conclude in 10 mins itself..At that time i had not even Started..Then i started to speak my points..The situation in the gd hall changed into strange a strange one.. i'll say one point and the mechatronics girl and dhillip will start concluding.. Then i ll speak my next point.. then again they will conclude..I think whatever points i spoke was right.. But my English was not good as others.. The results was said to be announced on the next day.. I had very little hope.. But the selected students got a message from PAT office.. I didn't get any.. Its Ok.. No problem.. Karthick's title was a bit difficult.. 'Whether Automation in industries is necessary or not'..
I don know whether i would have spoken any a single word if i had got that topic.. Congrats Anay, Prashanth and Shiva kumar..
Completion of the Sem exams..
The semester exams went well.. I enjoyed the subjects in this semester.. Both the subjects were comparatively easy.. Got C grade for EHD and B for ESD and Seminar..
Project Review..
The title i had chosen as my project was 'Overtaking assistance using GPS and RFID'.. Initially i got an idea regarding vehicle to vehicle communication.. Because Jeyaram sir had said that working on inter vehicular communication would be nice for Automotive Electronics Students.. Then i developed the idea of over taking assistance.. It has already been developed but i think no one had used RFID&GPS combo for that.. I started investing lot of emotions in my project like SRK has invested it in his KKR team(lol).. I had a strong doubt in my project and was asked the very same question in review by Prakash sir.. I started bluffing but he was not convinced.. Really staff's like Prakash sir and Karthikeyan sir are good.. They understand the concepts quickly.. No wonder Prakash sir is in such high designation..
TCS tragedy
We had TCS internship interview.. No one from our gang attended it, except me.. I didn't prepare anything for that interview.. I shagged off on the day before the interview and on the morning of the interview i read a topic from Jakki vasudev's 'Atanaikkum Aasaipadu..' i started from home without wearing shoes and came back to wear it.. But still i had forgotten my id card..While going in bus i prepared some 'C' concepts and saw a cyclist continuously following our bus till Vellore VIT Green Circle.. In college i got id card from Shaam.Then i went to Chenna Reddy auditorium.. There i prepared some 'C' programs.. The test started very late.. No PPT session.. The questions were really tough.. Out of 84 questions i didn even read half of the questions.. But remaining 40 i tried to solve and got answers for few also.. As there was no negative marking i attended all the questions...The results was said to be announced next week.. One morning i had a dream in which i was missed out in TCS interview.. I went to college that day.. While having lunch in food court i got a message from Karthick.. In which he had mentioned that why i didn't let him know about my selection in TCS intersns.. i thought he was kidding.. And i was talking about my plans after getting a settled job.. My plan was to learn Piano.. Then we came to lab i was Surprised&shocked to see my name was really there in the TCS internship selected list.. In that i was mentioned to report at chennai on 7th October.. I went worried rather than getting happiness about this selection.. Karthikeyan sir was so keen in sending me TCS..He even said that when i didnt take this offer he will give only E grade for my project.. All my relatives and my parents insisted me to join.. My father's view was very sentimental.. His point is that I was asked to join in TCS on my Birthday.. Next thing, that day is a 'no moon' day.. So he was very keen to make me join.. i was confused.. I don know whether to laugh or cry.. In fact i cried on Oct 6th morning.. While brushing my teeth tears rolled down my eyes as i m going to miss everything..My Home, Village, friends and most of all VIT.. And these guys made me cry again by giving me a B'day gift.. A nice Parker Pen along with a greeting card.. The Card read 'Pls Come back Soon..But not before TCS internship.. And also with a Girl friend'.. Tears filled my eyes.. I went to bathroom and cried.. Then i came back to lab and cried again.. I'm unable to control my emotions.. I went really attached to Dharmendra, Sunil, VIT, train everything.. Then we went to Khanna hotel.. Had food.. And we came to bus stand.. Karthikeyan sir suggested me to go in an AC bus.. But i took a SETC and bid adieu to my friends.. I Started to CHENNAI..
