Me and Patni Computer Systems

like any student fresh out of college, i too had lots of expectations from life. i wanted to get into the best company, get good pay and have lots and lots of responsibilities. i also wanted to be the one who was totally in control of things and give my best to the job. lets rewind back to that day (18th september, 2008) when i had my interview scheduled at patni computer systems. it was an important day for me, because not only was it my first ever job interview, but it was also one of the days when i had a close encounter with a really huge company (with branches in almost every part of the country) . i had always heard of the saying, "butterflies in the stomach", but this was also one day when i could actually feel it all happening to me. as youngsters being swarmed by professionals, all of us got a new sense of freedom and confidence that one gets when he/she enters the professional field. though our interviews went really well, no one knew what was to happen in the future. to preserve the memories of "our entire day" at patni, we took loads of pictures and also enjoyed the canteen food which was amazing.

coming back to this day when i have settled well in patni (its been a month since i joined the company-18th december,2009) and happily undergoing training, i get a feeling of nostalgia and happiness when i walk around the area where our class had taken the pictures and admired the infrastructure of patni. the feeling is still the same, the excitement and hopes from life remain the same, just the responsibilities have increased. i realise that i have actually accomplished some of the things that i had set out for.

i have got into one of the best companies, will be getting my salary soon, and i have got the responsibility of proving myself in this fast-moving and competitive business world. with lots and lots of confidence, honesty, intelligence, smart work and focus, i am sure ill do very well in this big, bad and wonderful world of patni. but for the time being, let me just enjoy my time and learn things at my own pace. :)
