Independence Day Wishes!! India!!

நாம் பிரிவின்றி எல்லோரும் உறவாக வேண்டும் 

நாம் பகை இன்றி எல்லோர்க்கும் சமாதானம் வேண்டும்

அமைதி கொடு இறைவா

பாசமும் நீயே பந்தமும் நீயே 

பயிரும் நீயே உயிரும் நீயே

தூய்மையில் இருப்பாய் துரோகரை அழிப்பை 

குண்டு வைப்பவரை விரட்டி ஓட செய்து அமைதி கொடு 

உள்ளத்தில் நல்லவரை உயர்ந்தேத்த அமைதி கொடு 

பள்ளிக்கு வந்தவரை படிக்க வைக்க அமைதி கொடு 

தீவைக்கும் துரோகிகளை தொருதிட அமைதி கொடு

வறுமையில் வதங்காமல் வாழவைக்க அமைதி கொடு

நிலநடுக்கம் இல்லாமல் எப்போதும் அமைதி கொடு

ஊர் எங்கும் சந்தோஷம் உண்டாக அமைதி கொடு

அடி பட்ட போதும் நான் அஹிம்சை விடமாட்டேன் 

அன்னியர் தீ எரிய விடவே மாட்டேன் 

என்னிடம் வந்தவரை எந்நாளும் மதிப்பேன் 

ஏற்றங்கள் பெற்றுவிட எந்நாளும் படிப்பேன் 

உப்பின்றி வாழ்பவர்க்கு உணவுடி மகிழ்வேன் 

நான் உயிரோடு இருக்கும் வரை தாய் மண்ணை காப்பேன் 

ஐக்கிய நாடு கொள்கைகளை நான் விரும்பி ஏற்பேன் 

அதன் வலி நாடுயர நாளெல்லாம் உழைப்பேன் 

இறைவா அமைதி கொடு

LIFE

Life is so full of uncertainty,
Yet we plan in expectation.
Overpowered by our own vanity,   
We fail to see our destination.


Ah! But if we could see ahead,
Life would be void of interest.
Though at times its filled with dread,
It has its share of joy and zest 


A constant challenge we'll face,
If newer quests we are to gain.
And should we fail thus no disgrace,
We must rise to fight again.  


So lest we fail to see the purpose
For which to this humble Earth we're lent
Think within thyself- repose 
Life could be peace and content.


When from this Earth we must pass on
As see as its the Good God's tend.
We'll climb into a newer dawn,
Into a life that will never end.

The Story of 'How I became an INFOSCION...'

A week and two days back the final year students of HICET gather to get the information of INFOSYS' combined campus drive for HICET, SRIT and CIET. Then on every day was placement training at college, training us in Quantitative aptitude and HR interview. Literally a huge amount of stuffs were incorporated every single day getting closer to 22 Dec 2010 (Interview Day).

I prepared quantitative aptitude, Verbal and Non-verbal, logical reasoning in a fast phase as days are short when you start working.

Finally 22 Dec 2010 dawned!!!

Ground: SRIT
Scene 1:

Every eligible candidate from three colleges turned up in huge number and so do I.
First was a excellent Presentation by Infoscion detailing the past, present and future of the Giant (infy). Then all of us were allocated halls to take up Written Test. It was 10 30, I was in the hall, applications were distributed, and filled it as instructions guided well. Be very careful while filling this application because at the end of the day in HR round you will find this in the hands of the Interviewer.

Scene 2:

Then written test started, it had 2 sections. One was logical and analytical reasoning having a pattern, 5 questions of visual sequence, then a paragraph thats requires logical thinking and little bit of Math carrying 5 questions, followed by data sufficiency and data interpretation questions each accounts for 5 marks, then was another paragraph testing your reasoning skills and last was like first sentence is a consequence of second sentence. Totally first section weighs 30 marks to be completed in 40 minutes. The time was ample and easy kind of questions were asked.

Second section tests English skills, with sentence completion, choosing the grammatically correct sentence, then a series of simple paragraphs carrying one question each appeared, last part was a very very very one page long reading comprehension, skimming and scamming will do, ending with a half page long comprehension. English part amounts for 40 marks with a duration of 35 minutes.
Right after you get your question start finding answers stead-fast as towards the end of the questionnaire requires a lot lot of time.

Scene 3:

Well then, written test was done, it was 1 o'clock all of us patiently and impatiently awaited the results. A few preliminary instructions came in. Here it goes " The results will be arriving shortly. I have a few requests. Please do not clap or get over excited. In case of any confusions in the details of selected candidates Please do not barge in between, come back to me once I'm done with announcing the results. "

After that, like an hour passed. Finally results came in " Lets start with Hindusthan.. S... " I clapped out of excitement, the one with mic said " I said dont clap". second name was called out '' Dharini Venkataraman of IT". God!!! thats me!! then I walked out to head to HR interview. There were 8 students from my class and it was a record as fellow dept from my college had a low strength.

Scene 4:

We were to sit on the queue to make all requisites ready in hand. I was ready and called in as the first candidate to start this HR interview. Here goes the questions that were shot at me.
1) Dharini Venkataraman, you are from Hindusthan college of engineering and technology, right? Tell about your life as student at Hindusthan.
2) So you were the Students' Joint Secretary? What was your role being so?
3) Did you face any problems being the Secretary? if so, how did you solve it?
4) Have done any mini project?
5) What problems did you face while doing it? How did you solve it?
6) What is you role in Main project?
7) What are your interests?
8) I said Blogging and music, so he asked.. So you dont read?

Thats it HR interview was done. I was waiting for like 3 hours for the results.

And yes, the results came, "Dharini Venkataraman of Dept of IT " was called out.

Thus I became an INFOSCION :)

i love animals!!

My first ever mock interview :)

It was a Thursday
Ground- Assembly hall
Trainers from Zoom Consultancy zoomed into the campus.
We ITians, aeronautical and mech final years were called and split into 4 groups with IT, aero and mech all together. That was literally the first time we were juxtaposed with the non circuit branch.

It was whole lot of excitement in the beginning. The session started with marketing. We started to mingle with each other and it was perfect team work, felt really comfortable than with the students of my class. Because these people are new to us and knew almost nothing and had no grudges on square 1.

Then was Mock Interview session. I was pin pointed, targeted, aimed at , bull's eye...
Interview started!!

Int: Tell about your self
Me: I'm dharini. A final year B.Tech IT student at Hindusthan college of engineering and technology.
My family is father, who works as Q/C inspector in West africa, my mother, a happy home maker and my elder brother working as Senior Bioinformatician in Malaysia.
Talking about my strengths, I'm a good organiser, my self confidence takes me higher in career. I love team work, good in time management and i'm self motivated.

Int: Impressive... What are your hobbies?
Me: I play violin and blog.

Int: So you are a carnatic or western musician?
Me: Carnatic

Int: Which ragam do you like?
Me: i like Mohanam

Int: Why do you like it?
Me: This raga doesn't have ma and ni swaras and every song composed in this raga is mesmerizing. Thus I like it.

Int: Do you love someone?

Me: Yes, my parents.

Int: You said you are good in time management. how do you manage time?

Me: I list my chores, then fix up priorities. Depending on how much time a task accounts I'll devote that much time for it.

Int: What about being an organizer?

Me: Well, in my college we organize symposiums, national level conferences and workshops every year. I actively played as the chief organizer. Managing as many as 200 students, splitting them into committees, assigning tasks, giving deadlines, eventually extracting quality work on time. And in the end symposiums turned out to be a grand success. That's my achievement as an organizer.

Int: What makes you cry?
Me: loneliness after a heated conversation with a close mate makes me cry.

Int: So you pull up heated conversation?
Me: Not so, at times situations makes me burst out and he/ she doesn't try to understand me. Resulting in heated conversation and a loneliness after it.

Int: Alright, imagine you are working with us. A gentleman in the firm who is close to you wants you to reveal company's secrets. If you don't he'll leave you. What will you do?
Me: I'll will not reveal company's secrets and treasure the trust of the company on me. And a person who wants me to reveal company's secrets is definitely not a trustworthy person. So better I lose him.

Int: Good!!
What is your area of interest?
Me: Object Oriented Programming

Int: What is a virus?
Me: Sorry I don't know :(

Int: What is a constructor?
Me: A constructor initializes objects, ie., variables and functions in the object. Assigning default values to variables... blah blah..

Int: What is the difference between procedure oriented programming and object oriented programming?
Me: In Procedural programming Programmer combines related sequences of statements into one single place called procedure. A procedure call is used to invoke the procedure. After the sequence is processed flow of control proceeds right after the position where the call was made.

But the approach in oops is that classes and objects are used to model real world entity taking help of methods which performs the functions. Emphasis is laid on tasks in prod. approach whereas in oops concept emphasis is on things that does the tasks.


Int: What is your vision and mission?
Me: My vision is to become a programmer, develop professionally. My mission is I'm learning programming languages and developing logically thinking to support programming skills.

Int: Associate you and your name.
Me: My name dha- ri- ni is a combination of 3 swaras of music. Also I'm a musical person.

Int: So being a developer is not so important for you?
Me: See hobby and profession are different sectors of life. Hobby is for relaxation and professional life is major part of life. Thus both are important.

Int: Any queries for us?
Me: What will be my growth in your firm?

Int: You will start the journey as a developer with us then team lead, project lead till the GM of the company.
Me: Great! Thank you.

Int: Done!!

And the feedback for this interview with them was i have to change my answer for "WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?" and widen my area of interest.
Eye contact, gestures and communication was impressive and outstanding (I swear..no exaggeration !!)
