Chennai Life's Kick Start

wheeeeee... Am back from my hibernation period. Well, my hibernation was not because I was busy or hectically working.. but i was too lazy to type anything in my blog. From now on, I hope to keep this blog alive. There has not been much entries that I have put in this blog earlier. So to start with this is something I cherish as golden moments, "Chennai Life's kick start"

My first day at Chennai, I came into this city like any other ambitious, enthusiastic 21 year old girl looking ahead at the bright and prosperous future(well, thatz how my friends wished me when i left college). Joined Cognizant, with no friends, no seniors, no one I know, except my only loving brother. But he... he was/is at onsite. Therez nothing much he could do. I realized that I was dropped in this big city alone. I knew I had to help myself and there was no one else to help me out.

Suddenly from the blues, arouse one young sweet lady with a bright smile, "Rememeber me, I am Sathya. We attended interview together."... Oh really..!!! How do I remember? I hate it when people ask me "Remember me??". My reaction: A stupid Blank Face. Ok.. maybe... Good. Finally somebody I can talk with. Mine might have been an amnesiac memory, but my mom seemed to be sharp. She seemed to remember her very much. My mom brushed up my memory saying, "shez that smart girl we spoke with on the day of your interview, remember?". Ohhhhh.. Now got it. "that smart girl" Knowing that she is gonna avial Cognizant accomodation during training period, we planned to be roommates. Went to Pallavaram(accomodation location) and booked for the rooms.

Saturday - went for Medical checkup... mmm.. well, I dont remember the name of the hospital. Nothing big to mention about the medical checkup. It was just a normal medical checkup. But there were two people I met that day whom I should mention about. One - Managai - who later became my batchmate and friend. Two - Miss. Anjali Kizhakkekunnel Sukumaran. Shez gonna kill me for elaborating her name. Mallu - again another mallu - Is she gonna be added to the stack of my mallu friends.... No, I didnt think like that.. I didnt even think about her. After lunch, we headed to Pallavarum to occupy my new location. And when I reach there, lo.. its Anjali again with her mom and her bro. I was there with my mom and my dad. I had to share my room with her. Within a quick few minutes after our parents left, we became friends. This is becoming "friends at second sight".

Sunday, I went with Anju to book train tickets to go home for Christmas. Reminds me of the song "I'll be home, for Christmas". Sathya joined us at the hostel on sunday, and after a few relocations we were put in the same room.

Thus started the chapter of Chennai in my Life's History.

Well, actually I wanted to type more. But I'm bored. If I'm bored, I know how bored you should be. If u still reading this, plz come back again. I shall try to post an interesting blog..... :-)
