Rewind 22 yrs-part2

Hello Friends, today I `ve lined up my troops to resume where I have paused @ Rewind 22Years post. I will breathe a sigh of relief once I complete this pending work he he.

Well, where do I begin, better to start at the beginning! I still remember the first day of my college with a pack of shocks & surprises started at the Administrative block of my college. Fashionably!  my goodness, what a pleasure it was, meeting all fresh faces at one hall made for the students of Information Technology in the First years special Block. That day, I did not expect I would make these many friends from the same classroom. Wow.

I was Outsmarted many a times in the same room. Everyday, I used to sense a fragility that worries me, yes a fragility to face ragging. Hence forth, I used to dwell in many tricks to escape from this evil, though caught a few times. Run little rabbit, run!! Now & then I made a proper idiot out of me. Silly & funny days those were.

Many bunks made us have fun at snow world, Treasure Island, ocean park, cave carting, dhabas at medchal, movies often on Fridays & Tuesdays to escape from the mechanical drawing classes he he. Birthday parties  that covered the most beautiful places of Hyderabad. I have a huge collection of snapshots of our odysseys. Most engaging n very clever we were. J

Fun in the class, fun at the mechanical workshop & c programming lab. Freshers party at 10D! Silver Jubilee celebrations of our MVSR College.

Wow fun masti everywhere in the first year. Blimey, amidst the joy, exams used to hit us like an untold storm. Keeping aside fun, one day batting before exams with short-listed important questions told by vamshi, my friend, we used to easily manage & get through the exams with very decent score often J!! All our happiest hours fly the fastest, as is the case with our first year, passed away as easy as winking.

Sooner, I was into the second year that showed different new shades of people as we turned to seniors now. That was our turn as the seniors to bang the freshers paying them the due amount of ragging he he. The following months it was our turn to throw them a freshers party. It was this moment that brought in entire new shades of people into lime light.

Mysterious things Time & Money. Both these things change people a lot, Money is the best catalyst that stimulate the bad corners in ones personality. Dunoo, why people have so stinky affliction to money.Huff. We've all got both light n dark inside of us, what matters is the part we choose to act on.

What so ever may be the reason, people around me really changed a lot after this party. So to say, our class was almost divided into 3 to 4 groups. Loads of cold wars ran between us & then nothing was the same again, not even traces. I pity the wrong side. Things we loose have a  way of coming back to us in the end, but  not always in the way we expect.

Every semester, we had one not the other thing to celebrate like the National Level Technical Fest, Cultural fest, Desi Day, Annual Day, huff it was the most happening time. We were not just confined to these things, we attended fests at various prestigious institutes of India. We were always forefront in different walks of life subjected to good global exposure. Here, I must not forget to mention, Remarkable day, that was when our team won the third prize in the event Panorama at Transition 2009 held by Cognizant Technologies, most enlightened & happiest souls we were then J.

In the following semester, Industrial tour gave us one more stake to have a deal more of cold wars. The willing went & the unwilling left behind, people had their own justified reasons though. I was amongst the Unwilling, Anyhow we have fulfilled that tour with the Kerala tour in the final semester. I believe fun & peace co-exists where good friends assemble, we had much more adventurous enjoyment than we actually dreamt off in Kerala. For more details regarding our tour, best browse the following pages-

The best & the most useful episode of my engineering was the on-campus placements. Regarding this episode, you may better click the following link.

“http://rakeshkonda.blogspot.com/2010/05/mvsr-campus-placements.html”

On a whole, I am done with my B.E (I.T), 2006-2010, from M.V.S.R Engineering college, Hyderabad successfully. When I look back, I find equal amounts of good & evil which were momentous in making a better-me, a more efficiently stronger person than yesterday. I have learned to cook , live alone & learned a lot more about life. Every bad period taught me a good lesson & the more mature one I am todayJ. Life is a climb, but the view is great J.

Finally, now, I have two doors almost open for my future.

1)Job @ Cognizant Technologies

Or

2)M.S(c.s) at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas. I am waiting for my U.S visa, which has been put under hold for Administrative Processing of Section 221(g) since 3 weeks L. Once this visa is issued, I will fly to the USA, early August 2010 to begin a new Chapter in my Life.

I hope, fate favors me this time at least & dwell in the best things possible

And above all I wish to change a lot, wanna seriously become emotionally extinct.Wish me goodluck

Stop Complaining-Start Thinking!!

This was one of the best mails i have got.. I thought of promoting this!! & is here for the purpose:)

"I COMPLAINED THAT I HAD NO SHOES UNTIL I MET A MAN WHO HAD NO FEET"L!!

This world is one FAMILY……. We are all BROTHERS & SISTERS!!!

If you think you are unhappy, look at them????

 If you think your salary is low, how about her?

If you think you don't have many friends...

When you feel like giving up, think of

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If your society is unfair to you,

how about her?

En joy life how it is and as it comes !!! Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us J!!!

There are many things in your life that will catch

your eye……………..but only a few will catch your heart....pursue those..

This email that i got today needs to circulate forever...: Thanq Adithya Vishnu:)

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
