The Internship

Google Bangalore is a great place to be in. We enjoyed a lot there. The fun we had there is enormous. There are about 20 interns along with me from around India. We had a great time there. We have not roamed much in Bangalore except for malls and multiplex's in Bangalore. Finally on the last but one weekend we went to Mysore, Its a very nice place to watch. On last week of the internship we had interviews(The day of the interviews is the most tensed day for me at Bangalore). My first interview took place in the Table Tennis room, which had gone decent. The second one was pretty good. Finally the intership came to an end. The last day we were unable to leave that place. One word to say about Google Bangalore is
"If you want your life to be challenging, there can no better place than
Google Bangalore."

The rest of the semester....

The rest of the semester went on well. I became so lazy after i got the internship. And the laziness went on for weeks and just few days before the final exams realized what going on, and tried to remove my laziness and partially succeeded. And I have done decently in the semester examination. Went home for a week after the exams. Most of my time during the week i spent dreaming about the life at Google. Even though I had some trouble during the journey to Bangalore, I met my friend Adi at Hyderabad where i have to 5 hours break before the next flight.

Good News !!

I came back to college and in a couple of days the results of the interview are out and i am selected for the second round. The second round got postponed for 2 times and i gave the 2nd interview on the terrace of our hostel. He once again asked me my favorite subjects, i told the same as before and added one line at end which screwed me properly during my interview. The line is
"I also like Networking."

He started asking some weird networking fundas and thought its going very bad. So i told sorry sir i attended only 2 classes of networking and i don't think i know enough to answer ur questions. Thank God! he understood my problem and changed the question. Things went on fine from there, At end i messed up a bit in informal questions(Google Don't care that much for informal questions).
On my birthday around 12 noon i thought today i there is some thing nice going to come. As i expected, as soon as i opened the door of my room i got a call from Google HR that i got selected for the internship. Happy Birthday and Happy Happy Day for me.
