Worst Phase Of my Life

Living in Gurgaon is the worst time of my life. After my ILP at Trivandrum when I moved to Delhi, I thought that it would be nice to live in NCR but the fact is Delhi is the only place in NCR which is good rest everything sucks. Gurgaon is a jungle of buildings. There is nothing good about Gurgaon(from my point of view but anything is fun when you have your loved ones around you).   

When I got a project in Gurgaon, I shifted to Gurgaon since it was too far from vaishali (Ghaziabad where I was staying then). As soon as I started searching for a room, I realized that Gurgaon is too expensive. The worst things are worth a lot here.  

My project was good and we were going well but  my bad luck had it's effects. The project got scrapped and I was back on bench but again my bad luck continued. I still had to go to the office and sit from 9 to 6 without having any work. I had very few friends here as most of my good friends are in Bangalore, so there was no enjoyment either. I was bored. My boredom increased more when I didn't had to go to the office. I had nothing to do so I started to make games for windows phone 7. I succeeded in making 3 games which I will be posting on the marketplace soon.  

All my money was wasted in the afternoon food as the place where I am staying is too expensive. My average day food cost is almost Rs. 200.  My smoking has increased due to all this frustration and I feel like running away. Also TCS is giving my crappy project which I am refusing. I didn't do all this coding stuff for nothing, so I won't take a crappy project.  

Each day here is a pain in the ass. I hope this ends soon or I'll go mad.

ILP Trivandrum

I never wanted to join TCS but I had to join after rejections in Google and SAP. I thought Initial Learning Program(ILP) will be crap and the only thing that will matter in ILP is the final certificate. But I was wrong, I found some of the best people i ever met in life. It was like college life again but without any groupism or partiality. It was the best batch I ever had in my life.

Training in .Net was not hard for me as i already knew .Net but that was like an added responsibility(of teaching and mentoring other people in which i failed but it was fun doing that). The classroom was not about serious studies or project work, it was about gossips, little work here and there and having fun.

Initially on the second day of ILP, i thought this is going be interesting as I got a nice looking Tech. Lead and the best girl of our batch as my learning partner(sorry to other girls but it's what i felt that day and also it's what I feel now). Now my job was to teach her .Net(which was really tough for me as i never had taught programming to a non IT background person) and also to help my other batch mates in their doubts. Initially during the process i tried to remain calm and composed but during the end I think I was the most frustrated person.

Then I got the smallest team in my batch for the project and my my Team made me their Project leader. I think it was one of the best teams I have ever worked in.
In the end everything went great and i had the best time of my life.

During the process I found some great friends whom I'll cherish all my life. Thank you T-82 for the awesome time. I'll always remember our class gossips and batch trips. I hope i could write more but if I do I might get sad remembering our sweet memories. I miss you people a lot.............THANK YOU :)
