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?
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

Coconut Papaya..........

After a loooooooooooooooooooooong time, no???? Today I am going to share a recipe, but it's my mom's invention,not mine.. But it was just superb. I am damn sure nobody in this world would dislike it. People who hate papaya for ant reason would definitely start loving it, it's a vegetarian recipe. So, here it is..

Ingredients:

1) Papaya (washed and grated) - a whole papaya..
2) Coconut (grated) - half of a standard sized coconut
3) Cinnamon stick (3 small pieces) , cardamom (2 pieces)
4) Mustard oil
5) Ginger paste (1 + 1/2 tsp)
6) Garlic paste (1 tsp)
7) Green chilly paste ( 1 tsp)
8) Salt (up to taste)
9) Turmeric Powder( 1/2 tsp)
10) Sugar (1 tsp)
11) Ghee (1 tsp)

Method:

1) Heat the oil and fry the cinnamon and cardamom for the nice flavor.
2) Then give the grated Papaya and cook for 5 minutes.
3) Give Ginger paste, Garlic paste, Green Chilly paste, Salt, Turmeric powder.
4) Cook very well till the water that came out from the papaya dried a bit.
5) Now, give the grated Coconut and sugar and cook until done.
6) Spread the ghee, cook for 15 secs and serve.

Isn't it very easy?? Yes,it is. It can be served with rice as well as loaf. I guarantee every one will love it..

Happy cooking..

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..

Ei mrito mohadeshe roddur barbar,(2)
Hoyto nodir kono resh..

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....

Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake,(2)

Ratri by pota - Lyrics

Song : Ratri
Singer : Pota
Album : Sadakalo
Band : Morudyan

Hothat jakhon sondhya neme ashe,
Akash pane chand muchki hashe..
Adhar jakhon gobhir hote chay,
Somoy jakhon emni e boye jai..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..(2)

Sokal abar ashbe jani kal,
Durer akash porbe sindur lal..
Sei akashe nei re kintu chand,
Sei akashe nei re mayar fand..
Dinke jakhon sobai bhalobashe,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar pashe..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..

Ratri bela swapno dekhi ami,
Ratri bela adhar jole nami..
Ratri bela bahir pane chai,
Ratri bela tepantore jai..
Ratri bela morme baje gaan,
Ratri bela rokte ashe baan..
Ratri tumi mon chashider khamar,
Ratri tumi amar sudhu amar..
Dinke jakhon sobai bhalobashe,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar pashe..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..
