After a wait of more than 5 months , i joined cognizant,chennai officially on oct 30 . it has been very interesting/boring/different period of my life . i went through different phases in this period .In the first month , i have been busy visting various friend’s homes and receiving friends to my home
. in the next month too ,i never get out of college mood . though physically away , i was in constant touch with friends . i also used this time to find my old friends from school times and share our memories . i read quite a number of books too.. but once friends one by one started moving towards their new journey , i started feeling the pressure. The Question of when would DOJ would come ? and life moving without any target made my life very monotonus .
Then i wanted to search for some new things that would make my life move on. i started learning swimming and see lot of movies . i saw a lot of variety of movies from award winning classics,actions ,adventures ,oldies to romantic comedies. but i lost interest of films too in one point of time ,same goes with the swimming too (but anyway , i finished my swimming course
) .
then my search started again , i was seeing one documentary in NAT GEO at that time . it rekindled my passion for seeing documentaries . i started to download and see variety of documentaries . now i have a video library that would run atleast for one day
.jus when my passion for seeing documentaries were rising day by day , i got a call (from cognizant) from no where and joined the company within a week.frankly, i never expected a call and even doubted it as a prank call
5 things which made my life easy in that 5 months
* taxi taxi song from sakarakati and kangal iradal from subramaniyapuram , there was not a single day i slept without hearing these days in this period. i loved the visuals of kangal iradal song to the core
* call from the friend :
a call from a friend is always spl to me . that too in this period , whenever i get a cal from friend that would be very happy moment for me
it is natural to be happy , whenever u knew someone remembers u even in their busy schedule . there are days when i have looked @ my college photos till mid night and thinking of those beautiful memories . but i learnt that , i need to move away from past and live in the present
( when others are doing that to perfection ,i’m trying my best)
*gtalk
*srichu ( my sister’s son)
*computer and my friend sam (he has been with me since our kinder garden times )
atlast my vanavasam ended and my new life @ cognizant and chennai began
it is always nice to have new friends and learn new technologies ,this is something like having a feel of cool breeze and exploring places. i’m right now doing both

Soon you might get a feeling that you could have waited a little more and staying at home wont be like vanavaasam:) As long as you dont get that feeling, enjoy
