Gone days.....as ELTP

ELTP 897– 899 - “Coolest” n “talented” B.Sc batch....that SLC has ever seen……and will ever see..!!!!!! …….and me extremely glad n proud to be part of it….

The Entry Level Technology Program (ELTP)... I know it doesn’t pull any string in your heart...except until you are a great ELTP...but it’s more than Strings for me... it’s something so close to me...My days as an ELTP in Satyam...those were the fabulous 4 months that will be the closest to my heart always..
On 26th June, 2008 a group of around 80 innocent ,Kid & Kind-hearted people entered SSL (Satyam School of leadership), Where we had or Reporting or Joining Formalities....

The big Hitech Hall it was a world class technology centre with heavy international look, I didn’t believe at once if I was sitting in that hall, it was a beauty to watch the hi-tech room. – Cool AC – new faces – Corporate Culture’s fears – Rakesh, Gopi, Katty and I entered the Real BIG world...

We all had seated in a single row...and I didn’t miss to wave hands to Rajahmundry girls...I was little worried...Bcoz I didn’t find our College beauty Teju there in the hall...
After few minutes Gorgeous Tripura, Sreekanth, Praddy entered the hall.
We started filling tooooo many forms.

The funniest thing happened when I was filling my form. I was filling everything in a hurry... After everything was filled we were supposed to cross check the things that we had filled. We were told to cross check it with our neighbouring partners. I remember I was sitting next to Bharath (Rao garu) and Rakesh on Left hand side.. Rao garu is tallying his sheet with Sudheer and Rake-Rakesh with Karthik...So with whom I should tally.. I was frustrated a little and the funniest things were when I was tallying every column of mine with that of Rao garu, there was a column called languages known. And I to best of knowledge wrote English, Hindi & Telugu. then I was comparing it with Rao garu....and to my surprise he had written something far from what I had written, C, C++, java n all seeing that within a fraction of second I hide my form from Rao garu’s sight so that he could not read what I had written. I then stroked it of that column so that nobody should get even closer to what was written there before. I was laughing on myself. I never told it to anybody. But ya I was really laughing on myself,,

I even couldn’t forget the First food in Satyam – Horrible man....

All the happiness got vanished when we told we were on hold due to lack of Computer Certificates.

The Saga at My home Hub on 27th June is as big as our Satyam way book...

Finally they told that we were “IN”

The first day 30th June 2008..

The buses are waiting at Mayfair, Begampet to take all of us to STC-Satyam technology Centre.

We waved back to all the Parents.

SLC-Satyam Learning Centre is place for ELTP....it was just beside STC-parking. we had Started our career there as an ELTP, and getting the brand name as Satyamite... Even we are in job still us r in like college.

The 15 days Pre ELTP course – it Created a mini Tsunami in the minds of non-CS students...Oh god..

At last the batches were divided after our first OLA (online assessment) called as SPOT.

I was in the IMS directed batch with 31 other buddies—where all chemistry bugs are thrown into. with 7 CS Geniuses(Bharathi,Manasa,Latha,Pratyu,Ritika,Shashi, & Zak).

The Training part—and Dorms kahanies are so long so that U can read in another post...

Old IT block - STC

Those Tuesday saree sessions... those amazing breakfasts and evening snacks at the Dorms/SLC cafe...

And the best part was...of course the assessments... Thanks to all Facilitators,expecially to Chinnajee and Hari sir for long losting relationship with us..

ahh..Santosh Pandey... oww wat a program manager man...he backed us so much -- I think...just for whatsoever reason... according to him we were never "PROACTIVE"...
And no one can forget our funny seminars...(Me and Pratyu – as the Great Seminar Reps)people, Just because they had been given a chance, spoke about what all and what not... so much for one 15 minute seminar....and that seminars actually became the Great fun – Actually headache for me and Pratyu.Those days of studies...all masti and no studies... all we knew was that we were making something great rather than breaking wat was already there... On exam day...we use to think of team work but our team didn’t have a deliverable cuz of our soooo effortful efforts.. :)Those shopping seasons in Koti, Sec’bad... those trips on weekends..especially those visits to Kompally Cine Planet --necklace road...those hot hot biryanis in paradise...those bowls of yummy Haleem... it’s all magic...I think it still gives me a nice flavour in my mouth..

And who cud forgets the awesssssome Alankrita day (Out bound)...what a day and watte major fun..!! The DJ is Unforgettable also It gave me good B.Tech friends..Our friend ship is still alive through my mailing lists.

The day we went for Sisu vihar
I couldn’t forget the day--those who fought 2 get d best seat when the bus had arrived... the Cold war between the northie and southie gang in the bus over which language song the driver should play...thank GOD the driver fed up with us and So he actually stopped playing songs after a few minutes...ahh
Some memories of the ELTP days, time which I spent wid them... yeah! There were lot many people with whom I had real nice bonding, they are simply unforgettable... the time we spent in the evening with each other in that cold breeze walking around STC campus, and those discussions and practice sessions we had for the cultural evening purpose... lot many to mention writing one or two lines will not do any justice, so there shall be a complete post dedicated to the ELTP days in this blog some time later for sure!! and also there will a post on the THEM too... ha ha say a tribute to the relationship(interpretations are all yours).
I just love these.... also I couldn’t forget the day when we watched the movie Tare Zameen Par-- that was being shown in amphi open theatre at STC-Club..that too in Rain – Especially watching beside Appu...

Satyam Culb - STC

And and and our ever so sweet nagaraju domala.. he was d lifeline of SLC (it seems) anyways..those were not the days of impressions.....but who knew in those days that project allocation was all random...based on luck... :)
And these were the things the ELTP dreams were made of...all we knew was that IMS has a load of (even onsite) opportunities... and we are now part of a BIG BIG corporate world... and we r gonna enter REAL projects and work for REAL BIG (fortune 500) clients... little did we know on the dirt we are getting ourselves into...all we knew was that we were Network engineers (Still in the Making stage)...gonna meet big people...gonna be doing some major big stuff in life.. :)
I miss those days...more than what any words could ever describe...those days have given me more than I can ever say... :)I will cherish every bit of it always.. :)

Do you think you are right all the time..?

My friends have decided to pass a fatwa against my blog If I didn’t stop writing about myself and start writing something which didn’t concern to only my world.

So I dug my brain, went deep, very very deep. After my mining voyage I have decided to apologize you all. I didn’t find anything which is out of my world there. So to save myself from reputation of another Rushdie or Taslima, I have decided to write the following content.

Don’t let yourself to fall in Confusion after reading this Ok.. :-)

After getting into the Job of this…
I think of those days when I dreamt of being a journalist cum Animator.
I was decided to become a journalist in my 10th class.

But no way after my 10th. So I decided to Complete 10+2 and then join in BJMC (Bachelor of Journalism & Mass Communications). For the same sake I’ve avoided B.Tech. But time paved me to B.Sc from there to IT industry (Which I used to hate a lot…You can’t expect wats the extent my haterdness. (My College Friends know it much better).

So Why am I not putting (have not put) an effort into it? May be I am not creative enough? May be I don’t have the zeal to be a (gr8) writer? May be my Parents didn’t convince with my Reasons. What happened to those days when I thought writing & Creativity is the only way to show my true self..?
Past has gone…
I am not that guy who thinks Kal ho na ho.
I wish I had more time (or could create some) to spare for this everlasting passion of mine. But this post isn’t about my aspiration or a list of excuses for lack of willpower.
It’s ok, but why I need to write this post..?

First thing

Many of my friends are masters in their respective talents…
Also many of those don’t have Independence to choose their own career.

We can’t blame Parents, because they always expect good for us.
But I am saying about those guys who are around you. And masked as FRIENDS and try to play with your feelings. It’s about persons who underestimate you. Not only this they even mislead you with sweet words.

Even though they know talent in you. They discourage you. And give Comments and stupid reasons. Tries to sketch your future path colorfully. All they do basing on their own Knowledge. All might not be Correct. But for sure All are not wrong. People may say you are still a kid to choose your career.
Yes First of all I am a kid (I am still unaware with the art of deceiving and I am still honest!) Before I underline my point you should know what made me to this post...

I thank you guys for your tolerance....but this post is for persons who didn’t and couldn’t Understand Others feelings.

I know it’s hard to think by standing in others shoe. But it’s not tough to do.

On the other hand,

If you have given a Suggestion – May be if you have given a Comment. What do you get in return? Analysis of your character, citing you as an example of person who warn or harm others. Calling you a sadist, who seeks amusement by undermining people. A selfish person, who judges others, just for personal satisfaction. Claiming that you are a kind of person that should be avoided!!!

I wanna ask all those..“What do you expect? Please tell me from next time what you want to hear. I will exactly do that.... do you expect everyone in the world to think the way you do? Is that so!!Then please inform before... we will all turn into stereotypes that would have emerged out of your imagination? Then you are nothing less than a god!!

Then comes third,

Something bad has happened. Whom we have to blame now..?? Me again..??
I’ve given my opinion. I didn’t insist you to take that decision.

Why should I blame for your decisions?? So Now, What do you expect from me??? An apology? Then you win. I am sorry for giving an honest opinion. I am sorry I didn’t act mature like all the TRUE FRIENDS. There you have them….

Friends all the above things comes with EGO.

I just think all these people are overpowered by their Egos. I know criticism hurts, I love to be a critic.

Even I have been criticized but if I didn’t consider it, then it’s only my world out there (self centric or it would be a santosh centric).

Everyone tries to justify their acts. It’s a human nature, their justification is based on whatever knowledge they have developed in their life. But you should have proper decision making skills.
Do you think you are right all the time and people with Opposite thoughts are always wrong…Is it..??

Then please leave your address, I want to meet you (You have redefined the rules of nature. I surely would like to troche you :-) :-)

Remember everyone is an angel in their thought. But real ones are those who are in others thoughts.

See You Soon Hyderabad…

Me... Born Hyderabadi...

It's Very proud to Bear this "Born Hyderabadi" on my shoulders.

But now I am Leaving Hyderabad, Moving On ...

A crossroad has come and I have to take a different turn.

I've had a memorable and wonderful journey with you.
Now it’s time to say Goodbye to you all...

Saying goodbye is never easy, and for me there is no exception.

I discovered some of my best friends in STC (Satyam Technology Centre)-Hyderabad.



STC - Old IT block

(I’m really excited to go Chennai ...BUT...I'm really sad to leave my friends...they also said kind words about each of us. I'm getting sappy (sad+happy), I know..., but they are SO sweet and kept telling me how much they will miss me. A few of them definitely made me tear up).

I packed all my bags. Those are not much heavy than my heart... (Really yaar).

After a tearful farewell to all my friends and today, I am in Chennai. I wrote this blog entry from my hotel room.

I was sad to be out of Hyderabad and also thrilled to be seeing more of India.

My Heart wishes I could have spent more time with some of the people I met, and feels that may be I became so bad with the fact that I was in busy that I neglected my friends for the sake of travelling to city every Saturday. But I have no bad feelings, only thoughts for the future.

My last days in Hyderabad were filled with Happiness, sad, Boring and satires with my favorite friends that I’ve met there. I can’t forget all those Monthly road trips, Friday night movies, Cafeteria dinners ,Dorms, midnight biryanis & Nasty jokes & Worst fightings -not to forget the late night (over heated) debates on religion and philosophy and values and ethics and what not…..!

I am definitely going to miss this place but hopefully the people that made it so memorable will continue to help me in upcoming golden years...

Words cannot express how much I am gonna miss this place nor I can’t articulate how eagerly I am looking forward to the new life ahead. Perhaps it is these mixed feelings that bring a smile on the face, for each new experience in Life....

So with this lots of emotions, here is goodbye to this wonderful STC ... And hope we’ll meet again…!

I believe destiny will bring us together again. For the record, my train went smoothly and all my bags are fine…ha ha ha…

"I'm going to cherish all the memories I have, till the end and I will always remember my 1st job: a job where even my colleagues were more like friends, a job which mixed professionalism with fun and friendship into a perfect mixture.”

I'll See you soon Twin cities....

but ..Till then....

Goodbye Hyderabad, Goodbye Wonderfull City and Goodbye to everything and everyone that I encountered there...

"SEE YOU SOON"

I know some or the other day our paths will cross again.

Thank You all for everything you've done, and for everything you've taught me! :)

Thanks for bearing up with me.
