I 'm happily married.. :)

After loooooooooooooooooooooooong time.. No?? But what to do? I was busy with my wedding shopping during the last month of the last year, and then the wedding, honeymoon (looooved it :P ) and some of the never ending rituals of Indian(Bengali) culture. But today I will tell you about a nice phase of my life.

Wedding day:

This is how I looked on my D-day..

Me with my Father, brother and Maa..

The feeling was like I had become celebrity for one day. Everyone wanted to take a pic with me. But posing constantly in front of the flash light was very irritating at that time. But people pampered me too, and in return it was my duty to make everyone happy.

This is my "Har-ek-friend-kamina-hota-hay" group.. But I love them a lot.  :)

During "Maala Badal".. (A ritual of exchanging the garlands)..

During "Sindur daan"..

 This is a ritual when the groom puts vermilion onto the forehead of the bride.

This is how I looked after "Sindur daan"..

On Suhag raat:

My father-in-law, Mom-in-law, Hubby, My father, Maa..

Me and my Hubby...

On the day of reception:

This my "reception-day look"..

I wore a lehenga which was my father-in-law's choice.. I loved way I looked on that day.. :)

With my Moms and daddies... :)

With my hubby...

We fought on that day too :P... See my face.. :D

Now comes the most charming part of the day.. We all danced.. Everyone praised my dancing and energy.. :P See the photos...

Me and Hubby..

Hubby, his friends and my bro..

With my two daddies... :)

I am very happy with my new maa and baba.. they love me a lot. I never felt like I was at a new place, I am really lucky.. So, I also try to give my best to keep them happy.. Together we are a happy family..
For the honeymoon pics, I will write another post very shortly. :) :)

Till then, keep smiling :):)

The end of Unemployment..

Sometimes i have passed some exams with marks close to the lower cut off but never failed in my life. So, I never even can think of it. My days were awfully tensed from 19th to 24th of September during the campusing and even it took my sleep away. It could be so that all my friends were selected except me. But, I was lucky and everything happened to me was in my favor. And on 25th of September, when I saw my name in the lists of final selected candidates, I was just too happy. And believe me, this kind feeling can not be expressed in words. I actually got selected in two companies : Infosys & Wipro. I am going to share the interview questions I faced for the future job seekers:

Wipro:

Technical Interview:

The interviewer was a lady and tried to comfort me offering water and chips. :-) :-) I said "No, it's okay ma'm, thank you' with a smiling face(It is very important that you keep a smile in your face always).It was quiet a long session but I never felt uncomfortable with her. She first took some time while going through my CV and then she asked me:

1) Introduce yourself. Explain the essay( they gave a topic to write on, my topic was: your vision on economic status of India as Superpower).

2) Do you have any idea about data link layer?

3) What is the main difference between Procedural language and Object Oriented Programming(OOP) language?

4) What is the advantage of OOP?

5) What is structure in C?

6) What is the difference between array and structure in C?

7) Write a query to have the full outer join of two tables in DBMS?

8) Do you have any idea about normalization in DBMS? Explain 1NF, 2NF, 3NF. Explain transitive dependency.

9) What is you favorite subject in Engineering?

10) If you are given a chance to choose among DBMS and JAVA to work with, which one you will choose?

11) Do you have any idea about how the business and outsourcing are done?

12) Do you have any gaps?

13) If we want to sign a bond with you with 15000 per month in the training period and then with the full package for 3years, will you accept it?

14) Will your family be comfortable if you are asked to work outside Kolkata?

15) If you are asked to work till 11pm in the night, your family would also want you in the evenings, but if you have to work, then how will you manage?

16) Being a woman, we have so many responsibilities to handle. I mean now you are okay, but after few years say after 10 to 15 years, how will you handle it?

17)In which area will you like to work- hardware/ software/ programming?

Convinced enough with my answers she told me: Dipanwita, according to me, you can now wait for the HR. Thank you.

HR Interview:

It was a very small session, just about two to three minutes.

1) So, Dipanwita, introduce yourself.

2) Please tell what you wrote in the essay.(I cited some situations which are against the free growth of a developing country like India.)

3) What do you think the remedy is?(the remedy for the situations I cited)

4) Dipanwita, do you have any gaps?

5) Are you relocatable?

And that was all... She said: " It was nice talking to you Dipanwita". 

This was all for me with Wipro and then on 24th I had to give the aptitude test for Infosys. I was selected for the interview. On 25th the interview was held.

Infosys (HR Interview):

The interviewer was smiling and friendly which helped me to be very comfortable on the D-day. It was hardly about 3-4 minutes session. The interview was like:

He: So, Dipanwita are you comfortable?

Me: Yes, sir.

He: Okay, tell me something additional to the application form (the only document they went through) so that I can assess you.

Me: Told.

He: So, cooking is one of your hobbies?

Me: Yes, sir.

He: What kind of items you cook?

Me: Told.

He: what did you cook for the last time?

Me: Sweet 'n' Sour Prawn Piyaaji

He: So, you try recipes from the reality shows?

Me: Yes, sir, I do.

He: What do you think is necessary for working in a project?

Me: Told.

He: If you are assigned to a project, what steps you will follow?

Me: Told.

He: Ok, It was nice talking to you, Wish you all the best and have a nice day.

Everything went so well, but I was not convinced until the result was out. And what happened afterward, I have expressed already. So, all the best for the future job seekers... :-) :-) :-D

Some Recent Collections......

It's monsoon here, super weather with lots of confidence in me. Actually my parents never even imagined I love photography this much. They still keep on pushing me like, do one thing properly, else nothing's gonna happen in your life and blah blah. I stay silent and this is actually a everyday-growing-challenge for me. I wanna show them that I can, and that's giving me a confidence. Anyway, I believe that every successful person has to go through a lot of struggle. So I am in.... :-) :-)

Random..

 I don't know the exact purpose of the above seen cute things, but  I guess these are mainly used for decorative purposes. But they are so colorful and attracted me a lot.

Boats..

 I think I need not give any detail to this..

Water drop 6

 As I said earlier, I am in love with the water drops. But mostly natural ones. And it being monsoon here, I am enjoying a lot capturing these. The purple leaves are of a cactus, many people mistake it to be a flower though.

Water drop 7

 I know it is a bit dirty, but the drops are beautiful. And I don't really wanted to miss to capture. :-)

Eye 1

 It's puchku's eye in a close up shot. And I am real thankful to her for posing for me. :-)

Grasshopper 5

Though I know it's not that good, but only I know what it took to get this much. I was like praying to God so that He helps me to get a good snap. :-| :-)

Happy clicking and enjoy the monsoon..

Some glances of Durga Puja '11

Durga Puja is known to be the most attractive and biggest festival of the Bengali. There are so many stories in the ancient history related to how and why this festival started and when for the first time. For the non- Bengali readers I must mention that for most of the Bengali, this festival is the most cherished and awaited one. This starts with Mahalaya and ends with Bijoya Dashami. The body of the Goddess are made by clay and the structure under it is usually made of woods. Here are some snaps of different sculptures..

The trend here is, many small or big organisations are there who make big pandals for celebrating this festival. Some pandals show the ancient  sculpture, some tell us the ancient stories of different matters ans some show any events. Have a look :

A trumpeter made m=by Jute.. 

Soldiers made by Jute..

King on the back of an Elephant again made by Jute..

People make this just for four days of celebration.. These acute decorations become famous but we don't really appreciate enough the people who made this possible.

Potter made of clay..

Doesn't he look like a real man?? So Perfect and flawless..

Decoation..

This decoration is also so unique, made of hundreds of clay pots..

Chandelier..

Sooooooo gorgeous...

Last year I didn't take too much photos.. But this year I promise to take much more pics and definitely share with everyone....

Manosha puja @ our home

Manosha puja, a ritual's been continuing since my grandma was alive. She died 20 years ago and since then, mamma has been doing with utmost respect and sincerity. People from the whole locality come to our place to reach God, to pray to the Goddess, to feel the calm and pleasant atmosphere during the prayer.Here are some pictures I took that time..

I always dream big. Is it good??

May be like many people as well as unlike many people on this earth, I have some dreams which I never thought to follow,just because I have some responsibility towards my family, may be because I didn't have that confidence to tell my parents to have faith in me,I could do it, may be because those paths are full of hurdles until we achieve goal and I was afraid, but now I think I was actually a coward that I even didn't tell my parents about my dreams.

 Now, a person,new to my life, got to know about those dreams as he himself asked about those. And he was so great to make me understand that I could, he made me feel I already achieved the topper's crown.

 In our dreams we think only about achievements if you imagine you would understand. But when we come to the real world,that same path slaps and kicks hard. 

 But in the dream, we are wearing the crown, thousands of people are clapping to congratulate us, our parents are proud of us and everything seems beautiful around. But as I said, I am lucky enough to have the support to chase my dreams now. And I am already a step ahead, as I know my dreams well,I know my goal, I know the time I have. I never wanted to be an engineer. One of the reasons is: It's nothing different to be an engineer. But I opted for it because I knew it would make me self dependent faster than any other professions. 

 Anyway, I am happy because I had to do a graduation and I think engineering is a smart choice. So, now just dreaming big, without even a little amount of fear in my heart... :) :)
