And the best part was...afcourse the weekly assessments... ahh..raghuveer sir...hanu ghosala...vijaya kaparthi... oww wat a program manager man...she hated the site of me i think...jus dint lik me for no reason watsoever... according to her i was never "PROACTIVE"... may be i shud hav shown my proactivity in getting her out of her role itself man...wat a lady... :)
and who can forget our funny seminars... people, jus because they had been given a chance, spoke about what all and what not... so much for one 15 minute seminar....and that seminar actually became "THE" topic of the day, "THE" highlight of the day... amazing topics.. :)
those days of case studies...all masti and no studies... all we knew was that we were making something great rather than breaking wat was already there... final day...well our team dint hav a deliverable cuz of our soooo effortful efforts.. :)
those sale seasons in shopper's stop/mochi/pantaloons... those trips to the hyd central/mangatrai...those visits to abids/choodi bazaar/necklace road...those hot hot biryanis in paradise...those bowls of yummy double ka meetha... its all magic...i think it still gives me a nice flavour in my mouth.. and who cud forget the awesssssome alankrita day...what a day and wat major fun!! i miss those days...more than wat any words cud ever describe...those days have given me more than i can ever say... :)
i will cherish every bit of it always.. :)
and and and our ever so sweet nagaraju domala.. he was d lifeline of d mainframes practice i guess.. and wat a way to get a gud feedback from the naive ELTPs... wil come one fine day and give a touching speech... " who among you gave a bad feedback for me.. (and instead of asking what he was lacking that we gave a bad feedback...he wil actually blackmail us to give him a better feedback.. he he he)...yu know i was always number one and jus because of yur bad feedback i have moved to the 2nd spot ( i wonder if he was ever number one man...cuz one of my seniors told me he gave the same speech last year...and the year before that.. :)) so people please consider again and give a good feedback for me...it hurt me alot so please dont let me down this time(by d way sir...please don let us down by yur boring presence...please teach us something useful na)..." anyways..those were the days of feedbacks and impressions...and everyone was busy creating a gud one thinking they wil move into the best projects if they stayed gud in those important people's eyes..but who knew in those days that project allocation was all random...based on a pot luck... :)
And these were the things the ELTP dreams were made of...all we knew was that MF has a load of onsite oppurtunities... and we are now part of a BIG BIG corporate world... and we r gonna enter REAL projects and work for REAL BIG (fortune 500) clients... little did we knw what dirt we are getting ourselves into...all we knew was that we were software engineers...in d making...major big people...gonna be doing some major big stuff in life.. :)
saare sapne kahin kho gaye...haaye hum kya se kya ho gaye.. :)

Memories... memories... :)) most times its what gets everyone through in life. The pain, the joy of what we've gone through and what we are going through and what we will go through is what is life !
Dreams havent gone anywhere at all... life has taken turns that are leading one through different terrains....
Nostalgia is to be thought about, not to be dwelt on !!!
cheer up, for the weekend is here :)

@ MR MUSTANG..
am happy for yur comments...but actually its not memories.. its jus that those days hav left such an impression on my mind that i jus cant take it off my mind.. my first lessons were learnt during my ELTP days...and are really very very special to me...some of the most memorable of all days of my life till now.. :)
You reminded me of my ITP days ( Initial training program) in Tech Mahindra. I feel nostalgic about those days... we use to toil hard for exams, take 8-10 cups tea a day to keep sleep away... In all those were best the days of my professional career...!
