15-JUN-2010: Start of a Professional Life.

My First day at ACCENTURE.

Like everybody else, i was excited to join accenture. though i dint expect to join so soon.

I got unusually early in the morning, as dint i want to be late and also i couldnt wait any longer. while dressing in formals, suddenly i remembered the day , my father had taught me to knot the tie. My knot tie used to be the best in class (this is what my teachers said).

I, Rohit and Rohan are classmates and so we had decided to go together. on reaching the building, we were asked to wait along with few other new joinees. all of them had come dressed in professional manner.. .. i think dressing properly gives us confidence to speak to new people.

We chatted and waited for 40 minutes or so. then the concerned person gave us a warm welcome. one of the attractions about IT companies is the cafeteria. As we went around the facility, i saw the work bays, the cafes, the neat and clean , well lit corridors. proper direction boards. As i stepped in the main area, it gave me the feel of a big MNC. everything neat and tidy. all other people were posh and sober to speak to.

Then we assembled in the seminar hall. it was the time do complete all the papre work and other form filling formalities. that part was boring. another thing i liked is, wherever you sit, cafeteria is just 2 mins away. The cafeteria has juice bar, salad bar and not to mention southindian platter, etc, etc.

There is one recreation area where i found pool, carrom and a big full fledged gym. i am yet to explore the library and other facilities. i must say the canteen/cafe is well maintained. food was tasty and easy on pocket.

All in all the first day , tested my patience as well as passed by smoothly. i have nice people around. i hate this word they print on i-cards "JOINEE", we are ASEs (assiciate s/w engineer)...lolzz

New Phase--work..

After finishing all exams, i was on a vacation . i enjoyed the royal stay in The Gun House(thanks to Chandrahas),

then both of us went to shimla, kullu, manali, rohtangpass, delhi..It was the first trip i made without parents. first time i saw fresh falling snow. i felt serene and peaceful in the himalayas. Himalayas are godly, huge, tall and exhibiting unsurpassable beauty and strength.

Near rohtang pass, i found a huge rock on the edge of the mountain. nobody was around that corner. the rock was flat,smooth and snowclad, big enough; so that i could just lay down and gaze at the himalayas. that was the best moment of my entire trip, i was alone there , laying on the rock. i must say, that 40 minutes , i really felt peace of mind. fewdays before my trip , i was shuttling from my home and drdo and college, had worked day and night with my partners . it was so much chaos. and then the peace, one can actually experience what is peace in the himalayas.

All of us find peace in some or the other way. we cherish those moments for life. if not , then atleast the memory gives us momentry happiness. i would say, if you find yourself in tough time, just take a deep breath and try to fresh up the moments..they will definately give your mind a rest. Simply gazing at the beauty, be it some scenery or (person, place, object), makes your eyes absorb it and permanently instill in your mind an image of the same.

I immidiately joined Accenture after coming back. My professional life is one week old. i am still trying to sync in with it. the thought of becoming responsible gives me goosebumps. Till now, the enjoyable part was 2 day induction program at Le Meridien. its entire new world out there in Accenture. so far i liked the place. As more days pass, i'll get to know more about this new begining and probably i will enjoy it....
