Never give upwhen everything fall into pieces,Never even lose hope,When everyone turns their back on you.Remember:Life is not about being fair.It's about surpassing the unfair reality.Life wont wait for you foreverIf you let everything pass you by,You'll never find out,how beautiful life can really be.Don't be afraid to get hurt,if you dont risk something,You'll never gain anything.Strangers at one point,good friends in timeNobody knows how our world works.It's you a matter of time when you trully appreciate a person.A matter of fate:Where the right people are at the right place and at the right time.Nobody understands how the universe conspires for us tomeet the people we'll love or have connections withbut then it just happens, you click and the story begins...Last One:The measure of a person is not how well he preparesfor everything to go right,but how gracefully he stands upand moves on ofter everything goes wrong...!

Dissapointment For Freshers
2008-08-15 15:58:00
With the campus recruitment season for 2009-2010 beginning in regional engineering colleges across the country last week, the entry-level salaries have not been increased. Most IT companies have offered the same pay-package as last year and also reduced the intake of students. IT companies account for more than 80 per cent of the recruitment in engineering colleges. The salary for 2008-09 graduates saw a hike of at least 10 per cent across leading IT companies when compared to that of 2007-08 graduates. This year, the salary has remained unchanged and companies do not see why they should increase their pay package. ?We do not foresee any reason for a hike as we can hire people for the same package as last year,? said a Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) spokesperson.TCS and Cognizant Technology Solutions had increased entry-level salaries by 9 per cent last year. ?Due to the near-recession in US, margins are now under pressure and high costs are increasingly becoming a drag.

2008 freshers from Engineering colleges are seriously facing a drought of Jobs in IT sector in India. I am too an IT engineer of 2008 batch and as far as the recuritement process for job in IT sector is concerned, it has drastically decreased this year in both forms of recruitment, on-campus as well as off-campus. Even the walk-ins and the off-campus are also held for experienced ones and hardly few for the freshers.The most prominent reason cited by IT experts is the certain dip in the US Economy which has a direct effect on projects of US clients that are flown for completion to India. As the subprime is breaking the back of US Economy the projects from US companies have stopped coming to India.As a result of which most offices of USA based companies in India have dried up in terms of projects. This has apparently resulted in firing of many employees in big brand names like Sapient where the frustration of extreme shortage projects has been laid on the employees. Even many IT comp...

But now I have completed my Information Technology course in engineering and waiting for the results...Now there'll be no more bunking of lectures, no pangas with Professors, no more crappy assignments and journals to write and no more running around for submissions...But as I leave this college and look back and I think of those four years that have gone by...I wonder, I actually had fun in this place.....
