ILP @ tcs part 1

I thought i would be frequently jotting down my thoughts after last year series of blog enteries.. but this mystic cloud has flown away from this writer bug.. as the monsoon season has come to an end .. mystic cloud got sm lil space in sky to fly back .. n make it's presence felt by giving delhi ppl its first winter rains of the season..

so this time around will continue from where i left my last post .. coz for the sake of continuation of the journey and also for the fact that about wat i am going to write , has got its anniversary just around d corner.. :)

23rd nov,2009 - the day i joined tcs..
23rd nov,2010 - the day on which i will complete my 1 yr in tcs(1st year of my professional life)

ahhh... its been a full 1 year.. which doesnt seem long... jaise kal ki hi baat ho..
Being born and brought up in delhi only,this was the first time i actualy went outside from delhi to stay ..
Ahmedabad my destination for atleast 1-1.5 months.. I was skeptical but equally excited about embarking on my professional zindagi..
we reached gandhinagar,infocity on 22nd nov,a day before the start of ILP(initial learning period)..
it was more of a combo of residential + office space.. which was gud in a way.. no hassle about taking ny transport to the office.. n our office tower was only 5 min(10 min,if u are also wearing first time heels like me , or 3 min if u have started running from hostel to office at 8:57 am :-P) walk from our residential blocks.. Infocity is in the out skirts of gandhinagar..so basically it was very quite types.. specially compared to our shor sharabe wali delhi :)
The first day of my office was VERY BORING , full of inductions abt smthing or the other.. second day wid same menu followed soon.. then came the lectures and labs... n our life skill classes..
I, who have always seen oneself as non-coder.. was little uneasy bt fully determined to learn coding but i eventually learned dt its not about language in which u code bt about logic ..which even an non coder like me can have... n i have discovered amateur coder in me there in ILP.

apart from tech n all.. what we had was fun... apart from 1st week(which we took rather seriously and did all assignments) , it was a paid vacation.Though the period was only 1.5 months..it was as memorable as my college life... "chote packet me fun" can be easily put as a title for dt..

life skill classes were the fun part .. participated in debates..team building games..smthing or the other activity to help us interact wth each other.. In ILP , I made great friends... learned about others culture.. discussed our respective regions' golgappas.. :-P sachi it was one memorable experince which i miss soo much now

Also,the weekend trips to here and there places were the cherry on the top of choclate truffle(isse yaad aya.. infocity has one awesum pastry shop..choclate room(which doesnt have branch in delhi :-( )) ... lothal trip was a fun road journey in a tempo :P .. then mount abu one ... and best was weekend trip to diu.. wow..all the memories just swept past me..leaving there sweet fragrance.

I soo wish to go back to that time.. specially now.. when life has become a monotonous routine...
