The Transition

I am not sure about the title.. but lets see !! ;as I tread along probably i will figure out ( at least that is what i am good at - figuring out the unknowns).
As it is said - "Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart." Probably the very notion helped me in securing my project.
whoa whoa... kk..!! let me get you some background..

Okk!! as my profile states i am a final year computer science undergraduate student. We are required to work on some project which the university popularly tags as "BE project" ; while a major lot considers it as a pass on activity I had decided i will make sure this runs smooth and serious for me.

I had a written test before the "Filthy post" Click here to view. As i had mentioned there; I was selected for project trainee by TCS Talent Acquisition Group ( The name makes the credential sounds volumnious .. lol ) for TRDDC ( Tata Research Design and Development Centre). Its the first R&D organization of INDIA which is owned by TCS. Click here to read about TRDDC . Last friday we were called for Project allocation. Though i had opted for OS & Networking Domain Project..[These two subjects had allured me quite a lot during my course of engineering] we were alloted a project on Agile framework on Ruby on rails.. by some pattern matching algorithmic software (at least that is what the authorities had stated).
And today was my first day at TRDDC.

My very first day at office began with quite a bit of pro-active events. We had planned to meet ( we refers to my project partners) at a common place at 9:30. But as it is said " Sleep and Anshu is difficult to get past."...
"Anshu anshu .. get up".. "Urgh !!!! " i replied , and i saw Ankit (My project mate) staring at me standing beside my bed.. " Fuck " i uttered, "whats the time.." i flashed up my cell. It was 9:30 and i had 9 missed calls. 7 belonged to Ankit and 2 belonged to Tejal (she is my second project mate) "Oh god.. i am dead"..i was scared to speak any word.. but God was kind.. Ankit didnt seem to be in a ruffled mood as he didnt say anything .. i got up quickly made the necessary ammendments to my stature and set off. I realized i was quick at getting ready.(Agile - i suppose) Later Ankit told me on the way how hard he tried to contact me at early hours. I wasnt receiving my cell and my roommates were too busy sleeping. I realized my mistake.. apologised and everything was settled.

We reached office by 10:30. Two things were evident..
1. It was no college.. The place was dead silent. i thought how even they get up here by 09:00 hrs.
2. The place and people were AGILE.

I was amazed at their capablity. No tresspasses no unusual roam. No unwanted noise. I thought where have i landed. We were escorted by a TCS personnae to a conference room where we were intoduced to our Project guide. The conversation lasted about 90 mins. The experience was good and too technical to be mentioned here. Later some formalities popped up. We got our access card soon. By the end of the day I have quite a list of things to prepare for my next day.

Things are not gonna be easy. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. And i do not belong to those genreics. I know i have to work and i am looking forward to exploit this opportunity.. For all the rest there is someone watching me. And as a matter of fact I believe him.

Btw i have a title for the post.[I said i am good at figuring out unknowns] "The Transition" suits well.


Thats all for now
