After A Very Long Time I'm Posting...Hence a Very Long Post :P

Well, it so happened that a few days after my last post i attended the walkin test for tata consultancy services. The thing is , the first day was for for people with certain qualifications and nearly 16000 ppl turned up.So to get to the test earlier my friends made me get to the place at around 6 am.for a test whose first batch started only at 1 pm. All my friends live near the center but i dont.So i woke up at 3 am got into a train at 330 am and got there at around 530 am. There were around a 100 ppl there in line before us. And we got a test slot of 130 pm.

There wasnt much of a crowd on that day.the funny part was some other friends of mine came inb after me and they got to write the test at around 11 am....bcos there was not much of a crowd.
Wrote the test at 2pm.The results were announced at around 6 pm.We were told to fill in a form and leave. To use an old cliche between the test and the announcement of results, the tension could have been cut with a knife :P
On september 3rd we were called for an interview.The first round was technical. Since I absolutely deny any knowledge of programming :P they started off on my other subjects..electrical enginnering and networking. The ladies interviewing me were caricature s/w company interview panel types...one lady who was doing most of the questioning had this 'i know u dont know anything' look on her face...and the other i barely noticed :P
After a long wait...first for the tech interview...supposedly to be held at 1130 am but actually at 3pm...there was a loonngg wait to see if i had cleared it to go the next round the hr round.

Hr was simple.nice dude.it was around 7pm.He asked me something and i went on from that to something else which was only vaguely related and so on and then he smiled a lot throughout.Finally he said 'thankyouwewillgetbacktoyou'.

A week later was told i was shortlisted. Went to fill in a personal declaration form two days back.Will kow in Two weeks whether i got the job or not.... :(

other than this been pretty jobless.
