Last Day of College

Last four years have passed with a lot of patience, tolerance and what not. But all that was worth it as finally I have completed my course and have earned the title of Engineer Sahab. As if it’s something worth bragging about.  To be frank I have not liked a single day of last four years I have spent at the institute. There was nothing that’ll bring sweet memories. Food tasted worse than medicines, weather was a constant reminder of hell, lectures were lullabies and friends I had none. All the stories of freedom and independence showed their true colors.

Anyways, I didn’t want to write this post telling my dukh bhari dastaan to the world. I wanted to do this post to thank and share the heart melting gestures my juniors showed on the last day. I couldn’t tolerate Kolkata anymore so I had decided to leave the day I had my last exam. I had to do everything on that same day. Return the books of the library; get my packing done and everything else as well. I returned to my room as fast as I could after exam and after a little rest started packing up all my belongings. I was alone at the hostel as my peers had left for having their own parties and juniors had exams.

The fun part, what has prompted me to do this post, began after they, juniors, returned from exam. They stayed constantly with me immediately from the time they returned until I boarded my train. They helped me with my packing, carried my entire luggage to the station, and it was pretty heavy, stayed with me at the local- train station even when I had to wait there for over an hour.

Finally they came with me to the station from where I had to get another train again carrying my entire luggage. I had never been subjected to such love and respect. I have always travelled with no one seeing me off or picking me up. I have always been independent.  I hate such independence. These guys almost made me cry. I owe these guys. Ill never be able to repay.

Thanks a lot all of you who made my last day at institute my best day there.

My First Experience in Software Industry

Alhumdullillah I am doing an internship in a software product MNC, a multi-billion US based company. The BMC Software. So far the experience has been absolutely tremendous. For a student just getting an opportunity to walk into a company is it self a big deal. I just cant thank enough my Rabb that he has given me the opportunity to work here for almost three months.

My work evolves sitting on the chair in front of company provided laptop for hours. What I do is that I am building a couple of plugins for BMC Remedy Developer Studio. The plugin will help the users of BMC Remedy Developer Studio in finding various resource while while developing products.

BMC Remedy Developer Studio is basically an eclipse based plugin. Therefore although I am developing plugin for developer Studio I am in deed learning a lot about the internals of eclipse workbench too. 

My exit profile will be an eclipse RCP/Plugin developer after this internship.

I am immensely grateful to my Lord for giving me this opportunity.

I am also highly in debt of Mr Amit Kumar Sriwastav for making it a reality.

More to come about my internship in a few days insha Allah

Interesting incidents during internship

In this post Ill share some of the intresting things which happened with me during my internship.
Ill start with the first day I entered into the premises of the BMC Software, Pune. I was staying with Mr Amit as until than I had no room. I came with him to the company riding on his motor bike. Pune is a big city but the system of public transport is absolutely a mess. If you want to travel a distance of 4-5 km on public buses do not expect to reach there in less than an hour. So almost every one except students who can afford their own vehicle everyone travels on his own vehicle. Most of the people driving have no traffic sense either so you have to be extra careful while driving. 
Sorry I was supposed to talk about my day in the company. Right?
Well we reached there its an nine floor plush building and to be honest I had never been into a software industry before. We walked to the reception, Mr Amit arranged a visitors pass for me and took me to the eight floor. I waited for him to arrange me a meeting with Manager in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is just cool. There are cafe coffee days coffee vending machines, Pepsi, other drinks, snacks available for free. Also for the guest.
I waited there until Mr Amit returned and took me to meet the manager. He made me sign the internship deal with terms and condition in there and asked me to read it carefully as its always asked but nobody cares  to read it. I too signed it without bother what it read.
