June 2010 joy at the end of it!

An internship offer had come in from National Instruments for 2 months. But didn’t take up the offer as our new house was in finishing stages and I had to be available to help my dad as much as possible. Exams approached rapidly and was seriously preparing for it. Finally exams got over and all was well.

June 16th the exams were over. June 18th was off to Bangalore with a coding genius Vishwas Sharma for a programming contest by RV College of Engineering. The fun thing was, at the end of the journey we found out that the entire contest was bogus and it was a waste of time coming there. So, I planned up a tour of Bangalore with my friends and cousins and had a tryst with Forum

Finally, the results came out. A perfect 10 CGPA. Joyful ending to an insightful, meaningful and enjoyable semester at NIE.

June 24th: My house Gruhapravesham. Was a grand function with more than 200 relatives and friends at our house. Enjoyed the day thoroughly and busy for the rest of the week in arranging and shifting the old house.

May 2010 – a month to memorise

May was one of the most interesting months of this year. May 10th: Won 2nd Prize in TECH QUIZ during NIECEFEST 2010 and it was fun, challenging and well-organised.

May 13th: A memorable trip to Barachukki Falls. Not a lot of water and off-season! But had loads of fun with classmates :) Don’t forget to view the album

May 15th: A monumental day for me and my family. Received scholarship of Rs. 12,000/-  from Dr. V Prakash (CFTRI Director) as I was named the topper of 2nd year BE and topper of 4th Semester. My parents were moved to tears on this day with happiness. Was blessed to have such a family and too happy to have made them happy and feel proud. :) Check out the pic for that day

Other activities during April 2010

April 24th and 25th were 2 days when we had mock placements by Xenesis group for free on our campus. It was a first time experience going through the placement process. It was professionally handled. Got good marks in the process and was happy with the performance.

The fun side of it was that everyone had dressed up in formals for the first time in their life. Here’s a glimpse into the fun.

April 26th: TCS Tech BYTES conducted at JCE was fun! I got selected to the top 6 teams in Mysore and got 4th place overall. Got Fastrack goggles as a token of appreciation and I cherish them even to this day! Another proud day for me :)

In just four days, on April 27th, had been to an excellent trip to Chunchunkatte with a few seniors and juniors who were part of techNIEks volunteers’ club!
