Extracts from a Clueless Mind..

Its been six months into a corporate life and life can't get better than this.. or do I mean life can't get worse than this.???

These six months have been a mixed bag of good stuff and not-so-good stuff.Feelings of all kinds have raged in my heart-ranging from depression due to homesickness to gladness of holding your very own paycheque:), ranging from nostalgia of college days to the freshness of new environments, ranging from missing old friends to the anticipation of knowing new ones..

Hmm..btw who says we are working people now?? who works in the software industry anyway..?HahahaThe standard lines a fresher hears are, ' you are just a fresher now.. the client wants only experienced people', 'Now is a good time to build your knowledge base'(just a better way to say tht the work we can give you is to study',' we're puttin you into this competency building project where you will know how things are done' (again another way to say you are goin to do nothing for the next few months).

Not tht we have a problem with that. I mean atleast not me.I've thoroughly enjoyed my 6 months of 'WORK'. i.e about one month of classroom training(more like college), followed by about two months of dummy project, finally put into live project, all interspersed with more days of mail checking , chatting, music searching, and basically doing nothing. What about the days of fests, team building sessions, and so much more recreational activities...? now thats somehting we used to look forward to and thoroughly enjoyed..:)....in the process were created friendships that are carrying on inspite of our 'HECTIC' schedules...
