They told me ... go, u will learn a lot, u will see it all and u will 'get a grasp of things'...
I went, i saw, and its almost two months now. IBM India, after the Junta shortlist(or longlist !!!) that was reduced to seven, after the long interview at midnight, after the travelling alone from Mumbai to Bangalore, after the lonely nights in this ghostly hostel ... (i love my roommate now!!!) and after two long months, it is finally close to ending.
Today was the penultimate day. Tommorow after the team dinner, we are done. Am done with my project(s), all three of them. Will send out participant report doc kal, bas, over.
I am wondering what i have learnt here ... is it how to pester people, or is it diplomacy? i did learn stuff about Compensation and Benefits i could never have learnt in class, mixing of theory in books with stuff that works, its a circle, give some/take some ... /keep 'em happy/ else they'd run ... another KJ here!!!
Never mind ... so i was wondering what i did after the praises i got ... people ask me, which college, and then say ..."no wonder ...", but ask me, i do not have awsome grades ... i dint work 'too hard' as they say, i just worked, worked coz i wanted to and coz i liked it. It was fun all through and no, they dint need me to give them Jargon ... all that mattered was to talk sense ... and for me, a fresher knowing nothing, talking sense translated to asking sense!!! So there i was, bugging my guide, through and through ... till he told me the why's and how's and ultimately mastered a master answer, which was ... BCOZ ... i looked at him perplexed, waitin for the sentence to complete, but it never did ... the answer was bcoz bcoz!!! :D Needless to say he had had enough; till me stubborn and pestering conquered that with a grin and mastered another question ..."which means ...?"
I had a wonderful guide ... the whole team was fabulous ... Anirban (my guide), Mahabs(a very sweet girl!), Jillian(the eyes and the chocolates and the jokes), Meetu(competition on PJs!!!) and other senior members who knew sooo much that i was almost scared to talk to them lest i appear dumb(till i actually did and found they were wonderful)
Two months down ... i dunno where i grew ... i dunno where it added on to me(ok ok, i know it added to the tummy tyre!!! ) as a person ... but for all i know, its time to say Goodbye ... i dunno whether i will come back, i dont even know whether i want to come back, expanses of skies still remain unfathomed ... life, here I come!!! :)
