aloha!
I know. I know it has been a while since i updated my blog. What to do? Life does become quite busy at times.
It has been an interesting, busy and tiring week this one, not to forget the incredible time I had last weekend!
Last Saturday the BDotNETStudent team along with Mr. Kevin D'Souza went to Mangalore to give some .NET awareness sessions at two of Karnataka's best colleges - NITK, Surathkal (formerly REC, Surathkal) and MIT, Manipal.
After a hectic Saturday, Sunday saw us chill out at various spots in Mangalore. I loved the waterpark at Pilakula and the ice-creams at Pabbas! Read more about the trip here
We returned to Bangalore on Monday morning at 6:00 AM in a Volvo bus and unfortunately I couldn't even take some decent rest after the journey. I had to leave at 7:15 AM to Perot Systems, where my 8th semester project was to begin!
Monday was a long and tiring day. We had to fill lots of forms and listen to a lot of (mostly boring) sessions on the company policies and rules and I dozed off during one such session, only to wake up a few micro-seconds later with a jolt!
The rest of the week saw me leave to Perot early and return home late in the evening dead tired. The travel was killing - nearly 40 kms one way in maddening traffic. And since four of us friends are car-pooling driving was a big pain. We were allocated to our respective projects on Thursday and my college group is under a huge project for Cendant Mobility, working mostly on various Microsoft technologies (vb, asp, vc++, sql server and .NET)
Mid-week brought some good news, when I learnt that my team "DSCube" had qualified for the zonal finals of the Software Design invitational in the Imagine Cup! Yo!
Now that I have been assigned a work-station at Perot, I can update my blog more regularly, since I have access to the internet (and boy, is it fast!) :-)
