My life..........from Infosys to SIOM

It has been 3 months since I left Infy. I feel like going back and travelling back to this current moment. After a wonderful journey in infosys , i came to SIOM on 9th June 2011. The college had already begun and people were attending senior's SIP presentations . Chetana , being with me since the GD rounds, was the first person i met when i arrived at SIOM. How can i forget bubbly Elli who was with chetana.
I entered my room 304 :) with my roomies inside welcoming me with smiles :):).
Then i met DB , active member of SIOM 2011-13 facebook group, who asked me to guess people names who were on fb . I recognized Arunima :) who resembled my friend Shelley .
Then came Aarambh--our foundation day, people gelled with each other so well .
Then the fantastic industrial trip to Lear Automotive which introduced us to the concept of JIT. SIOM rocks for all the practical learning that it gives us .
Then came our Outbound Learning program , management lessons through games in nature. Blind trekking through valleys, army games , WOW!!!!!!!!!

Then started the hectic schedule of yoga,gym,aerobics, lectures,assignments,exams, committee work phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I love this life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy to be a part of SIOM.

Mysore Training



After a long wait , finally the day arrived when I became an 'Infoscion' . I was in awe of Mysore Campus. We were taken to our hostel rooms which were at the other end of the campus.Hostel rooms were like hotel room for sure :) . I bid adieu to my parents and I entered into a new life .
For a while , I often lost my way when I walked from the hostel to the training center .
I met so many people in my training from Hyderabad,Bhilai,Tamil Nadu,Bangalore,Delhi,Agra etc.
I liked the methodology of training first theory and then practicals everyday . Plus the breaks were so great , spent at Gazebo and fc2. I even rode a bicycle after 10 yrs . I also fell down badly once.
I even learned Salsa :). I became a fan of Goldminer :) during the lunch breaks and boring lects .
Each birthday was spent with such pomp and fun that we used to look forward to bdays.
Even the trips to different hotels for treats was such fun . I loved the city 'Mysore' though it didn't have big malls,it had great transport and safe environment for girls.
I made some friends for life here ......
6 months of study,gec,food courts,maggi, coffee,friends,birthdays,shopping,gazebo....................................

Long Time.........

It's been long since I have stopped blogging. Life has changed so much in 2 yrs.
I have grown as an individual . I have met some fabulous people during this journey.
I have learned so much . Mysore Campus life was so awesome . It was like one mixture of people from all over India . 6 months of one more college life then came Pune Campus , where I was exposed to Corporate World and office politics and work load phewwwwwwww
But I got used to all of that thanks to awesome support system of my mom, friends .....
I promise that I will continue blogging and never abandon my lovely blog .......
