Having Some Fun Finally !!

I was not in a good mood to write a blog for quite a long time... But now things have become very clear or atleast changed for good... This month, I thought will be like anyother month that I had gone through after joining Phlips - coming to office daily and doing some work, which had of late become a daily routine... But to my surprise, on Nov 3rd I got a mail from Cisco, that they invited me for a selection process...

I did not have much time to brush up my basics, as selection process was scheduled on Nov 7th... But still I made some preparations as it was one of my dream companies... I was surprised to see some 350+ crowd that has come from various parts of the country... Actually 547 had been invited like me :) I took up the written test, and myself and Vasanth had a good dealings that really worked out, that we both cleared the written... And to my surprise, Vasanth's name was called out first and my name was called out the last..., And in the meanwhile as tension peaked, I started looking door side to leave the hall, but luckily my name was read out lastly.....

This gave me enuf confidence, that I ll get through... Did the interviews well to my satisfaction, and left Cisco, with hope I ll be selected.... But after a week, it was quite a big shock to know tat I wasn't selected... I came to know this wen Vasanth told me on Nov 16th that he has got thro... Of course I was happy for him, but still I really have no Idea on this....

But when I was down for couple of days, then came a good news tat Philips gonna make me permanent by Dec 01... Ofcourse I felt happy this time... This really shows tat life like a sine wave has ups and downs, and most important of all is that let ur hopes be held high and also ur spirits... Today I feel much better, and as I am writin this blog, am getting another mail from Cisco - this time they have sent me an invitation to attend the selection process for customer associate... But I don't think I ll be taking up this time.... Because I am made permanent here, and also I always wanted to be a developer and not a customer support engineer... Even testing is kinda boring to me.... Now I feel happy to be a .NET Developer.... And the road map of my team is pretty cool, with more development activities coming in....

I think the recession that had hit the world has receded and most companies are recruiting freshers.... More jobs open in my company too... They r goin for campus recruitment to my college on Dec 04...

And to add more to the blog, this month had a dip and a peak in my life.... Now its kinda sustaining itself somewhere in a better position.... And to add even more, I played TT today for 3 hrs..... So its clear tat am having some fun finally..... !!!
