LIFE IN IT - PART 1

I have long been contemplating writing down my feelings and experiences of workin in the Indian IT industry but never really thought of putting it down in a blog...considering it would be read more when compiled in the form of a book and become a best seller..but have not been able to go beyond three pages ..hope this series of blogs go a long way to provide the apt content to make that book i wish to finish..so heres the strt.

I joined Cognizant not because of any particular reason,yes..no reason at all except that it was the first company to come to campus fr placements and I imagined I was the last man to fit in the IT industry..so wanted to test on what basis wud they actually reject me..for there were a lot of reasons to be found..but here I am an year later, hanging on, still not knowing what I am doin here...


few things IT taught me ( would delve in each one in the coming series) :

1 ) u know u made a mistake by choosing IT so does ur neighbour.
2) since u know it... u either quit or do well at it but do not curse IT.. coz on paper; all newspapers and magz fr that matter the IT industry does well, but wen u look at ur bank balance u know it doesnt apply to u.
3) there's life beyond sittin in frnt of the comp ..better keep that in min after 6 o clock every evening..the job can make u forget working hrs.
4) crowd will always be better in the other project ,in the other it company,IN the the other appt,in the other college..let history not repeat..utilize ur resources.
5 ) the english dictionary doesnt run in a loop of conditional templates which require formatting for rewriting the code of onsite initiatives..keep reading beyond those lines of code language
6) the best part of the day need not be while drinking coffee from the coffee machine
7) u can walk to a person and talk all conversations need not be mailed/sent thru msngr
8) u know pens can be used for writing as well.......
...many more to follow.
