My Journey from Chennai....Hamburg

When somebody asks me in college...what is your aim? I simply said I want to do Masters in US.It was my passion of doing Masters in US.

But unfortunately I didnt get the best of GRE score to get admit and aid in US universities.So I decided to work in Indian Software Companies.I got a job in HCL CISCO when I was in final year of my college.The final year of the college went on with mixed experiences but thoroughly enjoyed the post placement scenario during the final year.

Well I started my career in HCL CISCO,to be frank I didnt have a great start in HCL CISCO.It was really a hostile project where I couldnt get the best of help from my peers.I hated that job...I didnt have a great start to my career...It was a tiresome and cumbersome work of fixing bugs in the switches of cisco where the code can be understood only by the person on mars...:)

Then I shifted to glamorous Cognizant Technology Solutions ,the firm where I really enjoyed a lot..infact flirted a lot ...:) got some real good friends...Those were real cherishing moments for me...I was put in Mainframes with black screens spoling my eyes...with some stupid bullshit work in JCL and COBOL...I didnt enjoy the work in CTS either....and MS was ringing on my mind...I already got an admit in Hamburg University of Technology,Hamburg Germany by that time...

So the call was to choose whether CTS or MS in Germany...It was too difficult to take the decision of leaving the job and go for Masters..that too in a country where you dont know whats going to happen after Masters..Then I decided to go for a kill
Masters in Germany...

So two jobs in one year was not satisfying for me ,I said to myself,whether Iam on right track..then I realized Time only can answer me...

I had my first flight journey from CHENNAI-LONDON-HAMBURG.London's Heathrow was amazing.Especially the transit from terminal 4 to terminal 1 was awesome...I realized how minuscule was Chennai's Airport but even then Chennai is my favourite city.

I reached the Hamburg airport,the day which I wanted for many days...
There was warm reception from the seniors and the life continues in Hamburg...
So far so good...

Rest in Next...
