ST @ ST, the PS continues

The first awaited weekend after the PS has started. Awaited, because this week we went to the office for the five days while last week, we had just gone for a couple of the days and so that weekend wasn't that awaited like this one was….

Anyways my company has provided us with company buses, which come to pick us up way too early. The last stop of my bus is the one I get-on from, and the bus comes at 7:50 AM. So just imagine what time it starts from Gurgaon which is the first stop.( Well the answer is 6:45 AM…just imagine people board the bus at that ungodly hours, campus mein to itni subah uthte bhi nahi the ;) ).

I generally go sleeping in the bus and it gets us to ST at around 9, then go for breakfast, then go to the office, system to de diya hai, but net is not given to trainees( the mentor has to log you in for you to access net…).

Then we work with frequent breaks in between, paas mein hi ek Monginis type multi-vending machine lagi hui hai, chai-coffee to kafi often pi lete hai.

Lunch is quite good, but line mein lagg ke plates uthana feels just like Sarath Mess, infact plates bhi kafi similar hai..anyways food is subsidized, and costs just 5 rupees for us. If we take the sweet, it costs just 11 bucks. After the heavy lunch and TT ( or sometimes just a walk and lazing around in the lawns ( dilli ki sardi mein the sun feels quite nice unlike in Goa where it used to literally seem killing…)

A nice analogy given by Sanket, another PS mate from Pilani it feels just like a school-subah school bus mein baitho, class ke beech mein breaks lo, interval mein khana khaa ke ghas mein baitho, aur phir bus mein hi wapas aa jao…

We have 16 people from Pilani here while only 3 of us from Goa. By the way Mentor Graphics PS has just got cancelled and so those students have been allotted ST. And so we are now 17+5 students at ST.

Waise shaam mein, the ST bus takes around 27 minutes to do what the local private buses took more than an hour on the zeroeth day (Read here). n I'm lovin it ;)- Sote hue jaao, sote hue aao :)

Kam bhi mila hai thoda, have to go through a firmware user-manual for 3/5 Megapixel camera for Nokia Mobile phones. Abhi am going throught that manual, aage kya karma hai pata chalega…

Chalo phir sone ka time hone waala hai..kal phir wapas jaldi uthna hai :(
