Now I AM A TCS ASSOCIATE

A week has passed out since my (stupendous ) success(I can say now or may be I'm not sure).But the truth is that I'm one of the guy to be recruited by TCS(obviously a software giant) on a campus drive a week ago.So this blog is dedicated to my hardwork and success and above all god who was with me right through the two day process. And when I say I was one the lucky lads I really mean it.Because many people who were excellent in tech (obviously I don't doubt mine) didn't get through and some with poor skills(read tech) sailed through.This is perhaps the irony of these placement drives.You need to have a great amount of technical knowledge or great luck or sometimes both.I personally believe that luck determines only 1% in success but sometimes this 1% luck outweighs 99% labour.And I had my share of luck on that day for two reasons .First I was interviewed by a Lady(don't take her for granted) who was kind enough not to ask absurd questions .And second I was at peace with my self(lucky enough because many of my dear friends got frustrated by the kind of "unkind" questions hurled at them without any mercy).The interview was a cool breeze with only some minor faults but she seemed impressed though I believe I could have spoken a bit slower.Need to take this fault seriously .Well I would not go into the actual questions and make this space a boring to read .As soon as I was out of the interview room I knew I had made a mark and was somewhat sure of my selection unless something wrong happened.But in the end after a lot of speculation ,the results were announced and my name was called(thank god) among those 310 lucky people.TCS has the largest workforce and is known to pick people in bulk(but that is not the reason why I was selected).And because of such a process some enter who are not supposed to be there(read misplaced).Therefore TCS throws out it's employees( sorry Associates) in order to weed out such "misplaced people"( I'm not fearing about it).


But is the battle won ? Nope!! The job is only half done or rather I would say it has just begun.I say this because now I can prepare for CAT where I long to belong(read: IIM) without any thoughts about placements creeping into my mind.Having secured a job in the very first company ,I have no tensions as of now.But my task ahead is cut out as i have only 7 months to go for the D day .If I 'm able to crack it that will be my biggest achievement till date and I'm quite capable of doing the same.And determined too.I have begun the same process which I had left before the placements and zeal remains the same or may be enhanced .This I have to achieve for my self .And I 'm quite contended or rather adamant to do it.Ahead is a long battle and only if I 'm quite focussed to bell it I see no reasons why I can't do it.So let's hope for the best not better and pray to GOD.
