summers done....pheeewww..

dont actually know how to describe the process of summers here...
soo many companies...sooo few people...still there seemed to be tons n tons of tension around..
the summers process this year started on 11th november.. n it went on for 5 days.. on the morning of sunday..every single one of my batchmates were there.. sharp by 7 in the morning..
there were people who got offers, moments after the process started... one can then imagine how enthusiastic the crowd of 250 people would have been... on the other hand...rest of the people who were attending the interviews without getting offers, were sooo hugely tensed that it required every possible effort to console them n inspire them for the new day...
my turn came on the second day(which in our slang is day z point 5)... with giving interviews for 2 companies..to be very honest i cannot say i was not tensed... the faster i come out the better i would be..i thought.... nn the moment i got the first offer..i accepted... happy to have come out blooming.... after all it was only a summer project for me...my plans for finals r different..
now lets come back to the situation of others...
one can imagine the intensity of the fight when the country's best of the best take part...
the one amazing thing about this fight is that the people (opponents or competitors..) support each other...console each other n believe in each other...everyone helps everyone else..
every new day did present us with lots of excellent companies... (watelse can one expect from the summers of IIMB..??).. slowly as the days were passing.. more n more people were getting placed.. n obviously the tension was mounting to unimaginable levels for those who were not placed yet... it is such a pain as can be remembered all thru one's life if experienced once..
finally...the day (thursday evening) has come when every one in the campus was placed.. with all the batch having one or more offers in hand..officially the summers came to an end with a closing speech by our own 'DON', whose speech was interlaced with some amazing achievements our batch has made this time..
then the time of partying began... first in line was a wonderful dinner... arranged in appreciation of the outstanding effort put in by our wonderful seniors.. then the night of l^2..wherein our batch was all out of their minds dancing to whatever tunes were played...
thus i came to see the last day when the preparations which started before 3 months, which involved countless number of modifications to the resumes, sops.. followed by filling up of company online forms n attending ppts...
hats off to the effort put in by all those trackers n placement coordinators..who could manage this humongous event with such elegance..
now can i rest peacefully recollecting all those eventful days.. having experienced such events, life now seems lacking flavor.. lets see whr life takes me to... its awesome to leave control of ur life to randomness.. one has to experience it to understand it...
