UFMS

In my penaltimate post i told about the power of V.What is the power of V, is it V for Vendatta,no as the add's say it VISA power. I got my H1B stamped on 6th of February 07 and was anxiously waiting for a onsite oppurtunity to hit the deck,luckily i got one and now i am writing this blog from the US. I have come here for an onsite assignment for a tenure of six months. I have loads to say about my two weeks of experience in this alien land,will be updating in near future. As of now i would like to point out few things u need for ur survival in US of A. 1. SSN(dnt think i am talking abt my college,its the social security number) 2.Mobile Connection(U can get this without a SSN) 3.Computer with an internet 4.Car(without this i am finding life really difficult.) Does the tittle makes u fluttering. Update from my side.

SCWCD

Sun Certified Web Component Developer,yes this is another feather in my cap wrt my professional front. I have started the practice of clearing certifications to keep me out of the ennui of bench and to keep my self motivated. This exam is a real value for money. Its not a cake walk. It requires immense preparation for 3-4 weeks followed by few mock tests. Its better you go through the book wuld say mug the book head first servlets jsp by kathy sierra followed by taking test in enthuware.

Purpose of the Bangalore Visit.

This is just a continuation of my previous post. The main purpose of my visit to Bangalore was to attend a interview for the PGDBM course offered by Bharathidasan Institute of Management. The admission procedure comprised of the normal monotonous process of test, group discussion followed by interview. In addition to these, BIM-B also conducted the Psychometric test. I faired well in all the competencies. I also got a offer from BIM-B, but i am in a dilemma whether to go or to leave. Because of the power of "V".To know more about, please wait for some more time.

Bengaluru

I went to banglore for a day's visit. I left chennai in KPN nite bus 10:15 pm but the bus started only by 10:45. First i planned by leaving in LalBagh Express but was forced to cancel because of the last minute call with the onsite team that cropped just before the day of journey. Coming to the bus travel it was more strenous than i expected thought the bus was so called air bus. I reached Banglore by 5:15 and got cheated by the auto walla. From City market to Chandra Layout(Vijay Nagar) i shelled out a exorbitant 150 bucks. My cousin was teasing me after hearing to this. Then i had a bath refreshed myself and then went with my cousin to Marathahalli. My cousin dropped me at Domollur post office and then i took a auto to Marathahalli Post. I will tell in some other post on the Modus operandi of the visit. The return was on Kaveri express which departured from banglore at 11:45. Banglore climate rocks but traffic sucks.

SCJP

Yes i have become a sun certified java professional, i would say this the only notetable thing that i did as far as my professional front is concerned. Coming to cracking it, its a cake walk if you have worked in java extensively but there are some trips and traps that one need's to be vigilant. My request would be to prepare for a period of two weeks and to take mock's for a week and go for the kill. My special thanks to my buddie for asking me to paddi,sorry for this kadi.

While coming from Adyar with my cousin,to much of my surprise i found a man who gave a new pradigm shift to tamil cinema.He gave film's whose story mostly depicts the life of cops.He is now consider a avant grade director as far this genre goes. Hope you guys would have figured out whom i am talking about.If not please have a look at the snap.I found him to be too modest and i was about to ask him when can i join you as your assitant.

GRE,GMAT,CAT,DOG,DONKEY,GATE,DOOR!!!!

The title clearly says it all,yes i am going to write about the competitive examination trauma that a particular individual undergoes at the end of his under graduation. I am mainly sharing this with you because i was in a state of imbroglio when i was in my final year. I do not want ane another individual to undergo the same. All i would suggest is try to do a self study about your strengths and weaknesses. If you are technically strong which means you are able to code the TSR program in lab exam without mugging or getting the output in electronics circuits or LIC lab(trust me i have never ever got an output in my four year stint) please think about giving MS or GATE a shot rather than thinking about CAT. If you have great interpersonal skill think about CAT or GMAT(provided your dad is an ATM). At the end of the day its your passion that determines what you want to pursue. What i would like to suggest is having a clear defined approach and focus which will help you in saving time and
After a long hiatus i am back cribbing things which i found interesting. I found this phrase in one of the blog that i liked very much " To know oneself very well, have a USP, ceate credibility and reliabilty for delivery and finally to orient oneself as a person who executes all actions. " This is nothing but a piece of gyan given by a leading HR Consultant and i got much lured to this because I lack all the traits that are explained in this :(. Without all these i am wondering how i have travelled three years in the competitive industry that I am currently working.
