MVSR Campus Placements

When myriad heinous things barged into my life, i was trying every which ways to bring in some exhortion into my whacked life & in many such attempts i was relentlessly a failure :( but  one attempt which made little difference was an oppurtunity that MVSR gifted me.!!I was placed to Cognizant Technlogies(CTS)wow!! but how??Yes!!Yesss!! MVSR campus placements.Thank God!!

These oncampus palcements were momentous in every student life who fetched a job & ofcourse to others also; as it atleast gave them an oppurtunity though they couldnt make it a success.I was waiting from the day i got Job( 17th january 2010) to canvas my experience here, i had duirng the placements & finally the time has come as the placements have come to an end @ MVSR.

There is a lot of difference between On & off campus places.To say in humorous way,off campus palcements are like swimming in a huge river & when it comes to On campus ,it is much simple like swimming in a small lake.There are difficulties in both the streams; one must know swimming ha ha i mean to say one must be talented enough to succeed.

Anywayz coming to my experience;After many reschedules due to TG agitations, the two I.T wizards CTS & infosys visited our campus for recruitment. My mind was pre-occupied for doing m.s in u.s. So i along with my other friends were not much interested in them,but a chance at our door step must atleast be attempted right.so we made an attempt.For the first time in our B.E life, we were apparalled in formals.No wonder, we were goodlooking as software koolies :).Like every other college hour we moved into the examination hall(they call it,Written test). Ha ha..Enno exams raasam idho lekka annatluga.we were made to sit in hall for the results of written test to be anounced. Amidst tensions of job aspirers ( we were bindhaas anyhow) we all cleared the exam with the least of difficulties.


After 3 long hours of waiting, i was called for attending the inter-view.As i entered the cabin, having seen my photo in the resume & myself live, the H.R was shocked.There were less features coinciding ha ha,short hairs to long hairs, achha bacha to awara..No wonder, he has his own suspicion regarding my identity.Any how, i have cleared all the confusions.


1Q: tell me about yourself?
I told about myself as it is from the first paras of  the post i have written in blog refer-http://rakeshkonda.blogspot.com/2010/01/rewind-22-years.html

He was just listening to my speech.I couldnt make out what was going in his mind,he was typical negro like person with hardly any expression on his face..OMG.

2Q: what made your percentage go down from 90`s to 75% in B.E
ans: i told, during years till inter the criteria was to score more & get placed to good/top collge.I fullfilled that requirement then & now coming to engineering, i put myself a criteria i.e., application of what is learned( application of programming languages i mean).& i have succeeded in that task also.

3Q: where have u applied?
Ans: i have told him about the projects i developed clearly & regarding the seminars & symposiums i have attended like sun tech days. he was much impressed finally found an expression on his face.

4Q:what was told in suntech days?
ans:It was a conference held by sun microsystems which aimed at introducing new technologies developed by sun & some demonstrations & some practice labs etc,.I told him clearly about javfx which amused me there.


5Q: any question to me?
ans: nothing much sir,i dont expect anything in return my duty here is to answer what i feel.
(konchem over aindhi annatlu expression ichadu) thappaka,when are the results scheduled sir annanu,tomorrow . u may go now annadu,.

6Q: hey wats ur specialization( he screemed befre i leave the cabin);
ans: I.T ( i reckoned)


huff finished.came out happily as i was satisfied.happy that he has not ragged me inside with stupid questions:P

Later after 3 more hours we were made to assemble in the same hall,now for the final results .
Oh my goddess, i could see people holding their nerves tightly to find their name amidst huge noise.
Some mr.x was announcing names.he was harldy audible.everyone was gathering all their strengths to concentrate & listen properly( i couldnt find such attention atleast a day in engineering life)
Lots & lots of cheers,applauzes spread out as the names were announced.
Amongst our group, sharath was the first name told out,yoyo our joy knew no bounds.atleast one succeeded.
Within no time,bharath`s name was announced..wow much more amazement. I was very happy,so happy that i forgot about my result.But immediately after his name,my name RAKESH KONDA was announced.Chills & thrill run down my spine.huff..In what must be the strangest of luck & coincidences Sharath,Bharath & I have made it for CTS.Wow.It was like a romping victory in the end.We are software coolies now
But if u trust me, i was not much happy ( had my own stupid reasons for that though) coming to genuine reason why i was not much happy, few of my friends couldnt make it CTS. 

Stats: Around 280+ students(in total) were taken in by cts,infosys,csc,uosd,prithvi solutions, apps associates,dark horse i.t ltd,bel,hyundai & many core companies)


The best part of this was, i was so shocked to see people so much serious of placements. I never took it serious.You know they really were serious, they put their life at stake to make it for placements.Many succeeded,..At the same time, i saw people dethroned due to failure.What an experience Trumpets & Triumphs a package in life.


We feel good when succeed,gloomy when we fail.But what is success without people worth sharing & loved ones :(.Believe it or not,they say bitter pills give good result,but tasting those bitter pills is the tough criteria.
Finally;It is not life that matters but the Journey.
I am getting emotional & going to shut my crap now. C u

Kerala Tour-part2

Oh my godess!! I guess i have taken too much time to make a come back..I am helpless, was busy with the final days of my B.E.Any ways let's continue from where we have stopped @. I presume you  remember.. Esh Esh MUNNAR. But to reach munnar,we must first go to Kochi(cochin/ernakulam) what so ever through a train for 2 hrs.

Kochi is the next capital of kerala after Trivandrum. We were in thrissur, we could harldy see any huge bulildings,but here this place is a huge city with all resources almost like hyderabad.As i told in my earlier version we met our next helper,Mrs rajani madam, a co passenger in the train,who came to our rescue. She was almost an eye-opener to us, told many facts about true kerala especially about the fake literacy rates that emboss on the papers.Any how, she loves people of andhra pradesh &  has canvased a tourist plan for us boletho she told us worth watch places in kochi & we followed her plan:). We were to Dutch palce, a museum that still treasures the belongings of the rulers of kerala.To say every ruler in the pictures reminded me of many mad thuglaqs who ruled the India.Followed by fishing nets,fort kochi, &&&& the most thrilling Cruise journey in the Columbus ship to the Andaman & nicobar islands ( i should thank mr.joseph uncle,one more rescuer, whose influence fetched us tickets in the Huge ship).Unbelievable we were in a huge ship,travelled all along for 18 long hours in it,i could see crystal clear waters running beneath it. The water was so clear, it acted as mirror, i could see my face in it :)

After that awesome journey,we were to munnar from Kochi.Believe it or not this was my first visit to a Hill station, travelled all along the steepy,topsy-turvy roads for 5 long hours we were at MINDBLOWING Munnar!!

I was shocked to see rooms with no fans installed; later my senses prompted that there isn`t any need of it when the climate is so cool all the day.Next day morning, we started our oddysey in a hired cab,i was taken in by the beauty & serenity of Munnar.Our 1st vist was to a flower garden, where the flamming reds merged with the greens making it a sight to behold, was a splendid beginning.Followed by echo point,boat ride,Honey bee trees,some dam,shooting spot,etcetra etcetra..I cant describe these much better than our photos at these places do (so i dont wish to give a try at all)- You may have a look at 

"http://picasaweb.google.com/106276625069899258769/YounGUnzMunnar?authkey=Gv1sRgCISUk82p48X_Mg&feat=directlink". 

Surely you will be amazed by its beauty; There was one place that takes a lot of attention by many tourists; RAJAMALAI-highest peak in south India.There are things that money can`t buy,we have many such moments here;The view from here awesome & was a spectacular sight to witness.Kerala at its best.The night stay @ a luxury hotel in Munnar had many twists involved(cant share anyhow-censor cut :P).Believe it or not,i felt the hotel to be absolutely the last word in luxury::::

The other day, we moved to Kottayam town, where in we stayed around 4 days.We almost put our life at stake to reach Kottayam from "munnar".Such grief giving journey it was. I dunno if anyone still remember us in kerala, but the AARIYAS surely does.This hotel fed us for 4 days, almost 10 visits.we found one more rescuer Mr.Swamy who arranged a cab to Sabari mala for usKottayam was our central place, we made all our rest visits to Allepey, trivandrum,Kovalam beach,Veli tourist village,Sabari mala,kumaragaon from here.

Allepey, i hope many people from A.P are familar with this place due to the movie Ye maya chesave.Yes we were to allepey/allapuzza.The house boat jorney & the journey in the shikaari boat was asesome. It was almost like witnessing the movie live again.Loads & loads of snaps were taken here.We were no less than any model ha ha.

The most exciting & spiritual part of our tour was a holy visit to  sabari mala.I think i cannot forget this anytime in life.We started climbing the hill @ almost 3.30 am.Gathered all our strengths to climb it.It was a hill mounted @ almost 65-70 degrees with rough hill flooring,surrounded by huge forest, amidst different sounds made by forest birds,of courses huge street lamps were installed.Really tough to climb.This was really spiritual, we found little children,age old people,obbesssed people,literally handicapped people & people of all ages climbing the hill chanting swamiye saranam ayyapa all along,which with no doubt was more than boost(the mantra):). There were food stalls all along the up-hill which really were phenomenal in quenching our thirsts.with in an hour& 15 mins we reached the temple.We never thought we could make it so early.Thank god( swamiye saranam ayyappa).Amidst huge devotees we made our glances at the Idol..wowwwwwwww..The idol really took us into a Trance;A return journey down the hill was much harder even.

Out of Trance now & we were back to kottayam..The following day, Trivandrum served us a grand welcome :P.we rushed eagerly to One of the top 10 beaches "Kovalam Beach".The wild animals in us sprung up,no wave was left untouched,Our joy knew no bounds.Enjoyed a lot.This beach was very similar to calangutte beach in Goa.Followed by a visit to Veli Tourist village, an amalgum of garden,boat ride, floating restaurant & beach. The speciality of this place is it is the end point of back waters in kerala that end at the sea.Spectacular sight to witness.

The last day of tour, before we took our train to warangal, we`ve put a good climax by visiting AnanthaPadhbanabha swamy temple hosted Lord vishnu, a huge idol that resemble the idol in srirangapatnam.This temple was spread in area more than an acre, was almost like a puzzzle garden with many entries & exits.Huff our 9 days long journey lasted like this poof!!!!!

P.S:---I couldnt restrict myself to less-details as my heart was so excited during the tour &

when writing thoughts were flowing like anything.Believe it or not,i made it lot precise anyhow.There was lot more to say. You are safe,as Iam not a great writer or poet.

Oh My Goddess-Women

A woman parked her brand-new Lexus in front of her office ready 
to show it off to her colleagues. As she got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off the door on the driver's side.
The woman immediately grabbed her cell phone, dialled 911,and within minutes a policeman pulled up. Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the woman started screaming hysterically. Her Lexus, which she had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, 
no matter what the body shop did to it.
When the woman finally wound down from her ranting and 
raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.

"I can't believe how materialistic you women are," he said. "You 
are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice any-
-thing else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the woman.

The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
"OH MY GOD!" screamed the woman. "Where's my new bracelet?
