IS THIS IT BOOM.
--------------------------------------------
Act1 Scene I
Location: LTI
Actors: One man and one woman from Elite core Technologies. Name- what the hell would you do with their name.
Background: some 100 odd students.
Scene: PPT starts.
Our company is very good and we thrive on excellence. Lucrative view of company profile- we make software’s for Tata’s (What the hell TCS and Tata InfoTech doing there with 45, 000 employees globally) and Reliance (Ya! You can do that reliance as an alternative of making software from us or hiring us they can rely on bug free software from you) and there are also never heard names. He continues his conversation about what company does and what companies trying to achieve in future. He keeps us waiting for the package. Since I was not fascinated with slideshow so I reroute myself to stare MS-IT girls which seems to be better than our batch. 30 minutes ppt over. Alas! No package slide. Thou should not be fair, O Mr. Antonio- where is package? There was an ambiguity in information residing on placement website. So I dare to ask –“Sir, can you please elaborate on package”. Secret is still yet to unlock and the lady in white (she was not stunning- so no luscious feelings) opens her oral cavity- 1.2 lakhs. Now it’s time to see faces of all those attending session. Sir- is there any slip-up in what you said, but she puts a authenticate stamp on her words.
Many of us decided to stay out of the picture and decided to move to next scene.
*******************Scene I Ends**************************
Act I scene II
Location: Outside LT1.
Actors: Few Amitabh Bachhans of 70’s
"Sher bhuka mar jaayega lekin ghaas nahin khaayega. Mein yeh nahin kehta ki main sher hoon lekin yeh ghaas hain.”- One of the annotations came from a friend on miserable package offered. You have the enthusiasm for fly and our company will give you platform for fly (This one is from Ace Soft). Sir- I don’t want to fly I want a job- I can use Spice Jet, Air deccan, Kingfisher or any other cheap airline to fly, if you give me better package I can use Indian Airlines too. Well by this time you have understand the extra ‘s’ in bachhans reflects angry young man of 70’s who fight against the corrupt bureaucracy. Well I don’t know who is corrupt here (you must be thinking Asim Banerjee- I know it. Please don’t do he has done a good job in placement, though he gave me C in SEN). Another point – we are not bachhans but we are angry young man. Scene dispersed with everyone laughing on himself hiding their fake smiles.
************Scene II ends******************************
13 days of placement fair (as they called it) have been passed and still 100 odd people are unemployed (I am one of them- otherwise I will write down something like vivek). From the past one-year we have been reading in newspapers and porn-site (sorry typing error- its http://www.indiatimes.com/) about the IT boom in India. Companies are striking campuses like anything and recruiting in mass numbers. So at last 8 companies turned up and no comments on package- enough has been said about it. With almost 1500 companies in B’lore and contacting 400 companies around the India in last 3 months, we did not progress to 2 digits. Is this the IT- boom or we still have to wait for 4 more years to make our college popular in IT arena. And last but not the least- any idea of which company is coming next?

Well sameer,
Hard luck, What else can I say?
The brighter side is that you do not seem to have lost heart and that is what pleases me. Tough times do come and make people tougher. It is just that your patience is being tested. Do believe in yourself and things will eventually change for good.
Keep up the efforts.
All the best.
