Got Bangalored

Back from our kinda silicon valley, really a master piece (courtesy: Electronic City, Bangalore). Three days of ALSB/OSB (some ORACLE console) training is totally off my mind coz this trip was more like a paid getaway.

Not that it's my first time but ya it was my first office tour with my team. Anyone who goes there for a short stay, loves it; mainly those who have office to attend & other loads of work.

3 jam packed days:
  • Hardly a 4hr/day sleep on these 3 days.
  • At Wipro guest house- great hot water shower & good bed spread... & ya it's free!!
  • Office Work- sprawling campus, lots of scenic beauty (diversifying/multi cultured girls) & mind blowing architecture/management.
  • Not to forget- trainer was really learned & had superb presentation skills
  • Commutation- cabs, new AC volvo buses & the cruel autowalas (this is one small problem)...but again, its free right!!

Its a cloudy afternoon on the left, My teammates & I at EC 1, WIPRO, Bangalore

Worked hard, partied harder

  • BRISTO 85- A Koramangala theme restaurant, famous for hookah & food. Had a good time, but I still suspect one thing!! do they have their own kitchen or do they get food from other restaurants..;-)
  • BRIGADE ROAD & PECOS PUB- brigade is by far one of the best shopping/commercial areas of India, great crowd & flooded with chinkies (Chinese/Japanese). I bought a cool Aviator Ray-Ban (actually Red-Bay..;-P) glasses & headed straight to PECOS which had a superb ambiance, great music (full Bob Marley & Pink Floyd types) & good food with beer. Really, time well spent.
  • OASIS MALL & SANJIV KAPOOR's food outlet- OASIS mall is awesome but heard that GARUDA MALL scores over this, had a quick dinner at SANJIV's food outlet. This was thrilling ;-P as we were getting late...had to rush to check out from our guest house & head back to Chennai.

Good travel & great first time experience. The place is amazing and worth a weekend,I just dint feel like coming back coz I badly wanted to visit HARD ROCK CAFE (never mind, some other time). The highlights would be: Superb weather, Superb location & of course everything was free..;-)..cheers bye.

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Wipro- Reporting day

Image
Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day. Reporting at Wipro office , (Guindy) Chennai- reached half an hour before and the process started just as we reached i.e. at 8:00am (bang on time) Talent ready to transform Form filling - have everything calculated to enter in your form i.e. all the 10th,12th & semester wise percentages. Also note down your agg...

The candidate you want to hire

If you are hiring, the best fit for you would be someone who can fit right-in without any kind of training. There are a lot of guys like that out in the market, but the challenge is that you need to find them, that explains why monster.com and naukri.com is such a big hit. So, I’ve been doing some interviewing for quite a long time now, and I believe that some of the good ways for you to find a candidate is to: Target potential companies and not candidates – if you find a company that works exactly like you do, then you get candidates from there who fit right in. Target communities – Be a part of the community, contribute to the community, and hire people from the community. Coz a candidate in a community shows that he is passionate about his line of work and is working more to get things done besides his office work. Address pain points – Yes! It is a business strategy and not some hiring strategy ( I think, I got that from my MD’s talk in a leadership meet ). It is very general,...
