review of Sept ..(MS )

Finally the month of September is coming to an end.. so i found it was imperative that i review whatever i did this entire month...
So lets begin...
The first week: (1st - 6th )
1st - 4th :did nothing much except a few classes... hehe just mundane stuff..
5th september: Well ..MS had visited the campus .. and i was in my room when TC@nitdgp aka nawab aka Swapnil came to my room .. as usual i was enthusiastic about attending 1 more PPT .. (i had earlier attend AMAZON's Amazing PPT.. ) and then i came to know about MS IT considering pre final students for internships... and so i thought why not give it a try ...
I mean the written was pretty difficult considering the fact that even the final years had the same set of questions... and luckily i had cleared that written ..
Then the next day(6th sept) we had the interview rounds .. mine got over in 15-20 minutes shortest time duration of the interview among those short listed.. :P and the week was almost over after back to back tiring days...
one more week passed .. and i came to know we had our final round of interview in MS sales office in kolkata .. that was 9/11 .. had to wake up early and was there before time ..(very typical of me ..) and then i was the last person to be interviewed... and it was not much of a difference coz that was almost a ritual now for me to wait for atleast 3-4 hours ..for interviews and vivas... even that was very short one .. typically HR questions were asked..
Then the next day the results were out ..and i was one of the two people to be selected for Internships...
and then all the days after that passed with classes ,sessionals and Class Tests...

PS:1)won 2 out of the three codecracker contests.. one of them was a nite before the MS interviews.. hehe
2) MS PPT was lacking that Corporate feel that Amazon had.. i mean Amazon ppl knew How to monetize everything :)
cheers ...

The week that wasnt ... ? was it ??

The last week has turned things ..upside down for me atleast ..
i dont think i have attended any classes this entire week ..( haha some respite for me atleast..)
Moving onto the serious part ... i understand that there are more important assignments that are needed to be executed.. with no further delays ..(and i assume that i understand its importance.. )
But having said that i could never understand the importance of things and i still dont!!! and i guess it doesnt really matter.. because if u always think about the destination then the journey itself starts to bore u ..and the expectation to succeed chokes u up...
so lemme enjoy my journey as far as i am concerned the destination is still a distant mirage... . and am optimistic that the destination would always continue to elude me !!
cheers .. enjoy life.. BRB...
