Day GAK - ISPAT

We return after a hiatus of six months. To cut a long story short we laughed our heads off on the second day when the so called 'sure-shot' guys failed to get placed in TCS. We got placed on the third day in IBM (Whoa!). And today on a God-Alone-Knows (GAK) Day of CRP some of our friends are looking for a job in a core company run by our own Mittal-seth of the Versailles-main-Barjatiya-style-shaadi fame. This day being part of yet another vacation, with the mess not running and the other contributor to this blog being 'home alone', we were forced to leave the cozy environs of our rooms. Turns out that "SQUARE ONE" an SVNITian band was gonna perform at Coffee Culture one of the coolest hangouts of apnu Surat. It was a great three hour long show. Contrary to our expectations, and thankfully so, a majority of the crowd was non-SVNITian. The show was a good hit, with a decent mix of hard rock (gnr - sweet child of mine), soft rock (eagles - hotel california), pop (bryan adams - everything I do), grunge (nirvana - smells like teen spirit), indipop (euphoria - maeeri) and some paki stuff too (junoon - pappu yaar! tang naa kar....). We hope such things go on in future too. I am not sure about the other contributor but I believe more and more that the Maneka Gandhi version of Patiala Shahi is a great place to have dinner especially stuffed paranthas. More later...
P.S. : SQUARE ONE consists of the lead vocalist, Jojan V Jose; the lead guitarist, Mrinabh Dutta; the rythm guitarist Shubham Shrivastav; the bass guitarist Abhishek Chinchalkar and two girls we conjecture are cheer leaders.

Day 1 - TCS(1)

So its that time of the year when everyone bought new clothes and shoes to give an air of 'formal'ity.
People going gaga over a shirt sleeve here and a tie knot there.
Its campus recruitment season. Tadaaa!!!
Characters of the day:
1.)Shrek aka Shriyak - Crisp white shirt which went soggy with sweat by the end of the PPT
2.)Kaddu aka Sushant aka Sri Sri Srivastava - Leg pulling to say the least
3.)Arindam Goswami - Sang rock songs on the steps of Seminar Hall
4.)DB Naik - I think he had a problem with me seated on the chair
5.)Anadi Mishra - Freaked when DBN called him Andi!
6.)Nikhil Ram - Gave fundas on GRE
7.)Prabhat aka Mama - Was charmed with the deal he got at Pantaloons
8.)Asmita Someody, TCS - Made her pitch in a primary-school-teacheresque fashion
9.)Kapil Somebody, HR TCS - Interjected above's speech with well-timed PJs.
10.)The Junta - Clapped on cue and off it.
Just Apti and Psychometric tests today.
