Rakesh has a point...but

Rakesh, i don't deny your comment. We have our differences and biases which will cast a shadow of doubt, even with my previous post. I am not saying that people will sacrifice themselves for the class... never!! but all that bull that a fragmented class cannot achieve a common goal is not true n i don't agree. All that matters is that we stick to together (well... almost all of us without taking names) when it matters the most. For it is only in times of distress that you find friends and some of, including myself, saw that people can be trustworthy; more so because i found that some of us did put a bit of faith in me also. A comment like this from probably the most cynical guy in class does count for something and i hope to believe in that...

Thoughts on Placements

We became the 2nd batch in the history of this college to host a placement week on 3rd of December. Not only did we raise the level of expectation but came through with most of them. companies and profiles were new and varied which overall met our expectations of job and pay. Yet in the midst of all the good times we had a few set backs also. Although placement week is over officially, we still have some friends who are trying to find the right start for themselves. What i think stood out in this placements was the level of commitment of "almost" all the students towards each other. Most of us didn't think twice about not appearing in an interview if it meant giving another friend a chance which he or she needed more than i did. For that i applaud my classmates and i think it's a clear message about unity and trust when it matters the most. fingers were pointed at us on this issue but i think we have sent the right message across. No. of offers, packages are mere statistics which will unfortunately never capture the undying spirit in us as a class.... as a team!!!
