My first day in TCS-JNR

I was in for a big suprise on my first day at TCS-JNR (Vadapalani). I had imagined a warm welcome speech by the MATC walas and proper redirection by them. What happened on Nov-15th was nothing close to my expectations.

My day started at 10.00. I waited at the reception/lounge (with the other Sep-30th batch mates). To my dismay none came to even address us. I was a bit irritated. Around 11.30, our patience was tested to the max and we decided to meet the MATC wala. The matc lady was not even aware that a batch was to report on that day. (Baaah.. so much for competency levels) She then asked us to write down our skill sets and submit it to them (i wonder wat happened to that paper ????). She then told us to wait till 1400 hrs. Goodness me.. There was not even enough chairs for us. I was sitting on an elevated flooring for 2 hrs.

We had our lunch (the food is a hell LOT better than wat used to be served in Trivandrum) and reported to the matc again. Finally, at 1500 hrs she came out of her cabin and told us that we would have an official meetin with the area MATC officer the next day at 6 PM ( is it a nite party ???). That was it.. my First day in TCS.. something which i never expected. But i must say i'm a bit fortunate.. considering the fact that there are batches released from ILP, a couple of months ago and still awaiting a formal meeting with the MATC.
