Training to Production.

( I had written this post on the 3rd day after getting into production. It has been over 3 months since then but i forgot about it. So I am publishing this post now. At the time of writing it, I was feeling a bit nostalgic about my training days. Things have changed a lot after that and now I enjoy doing work in office as well. Have learnt a lot in these 3 and a half months into production)

The last few months of my life have been quite eventful. I went through some of the best (and also most stressed) times of my life. Well this was the transition from college life to professional life.
I left my home town on 7th july for my fisrt job. We were told that we would be having some training before we actually get posting. And what a training it was! I never knew I could do only with four hours of sleep everyday until I completed the training though with moderate scores. At one moment passing the training exams itself seemed to be a Herculean task. But thankfully I passed it without failing in any of the tests.
Like college life this training period has also become reminiscent of the past. I made some really great friends during this period. Well, when everyone is in some boat then this mutual feeling of going through tough times gets people close a bit fast.
There were exceptions to this also like my friend N. He was a person who will always complete his assignments first, will get out of exam hall first, will never study till late night and you guessed it, even then got the highest marks in all tests consistently.
On the other hand were people like me who somehow managed to stay afloat though by working hard, that is according to my standards because I didn’t study this much in whole 4yrs of engineering.
Anyways, alls well that ends well. During training I was dying to pass the training and get into production and finally when the day arrived to get into production I realized how attached we had become to the campus.

As regards my liking :- training classroom V/s life in production, here is the comparison
During we were not bound by cubicles and had friends all around us, in office we have cubicles and software engineers around us.
Remaining in classroom even late at night meant having fun with friends alongwith studying, being in office for late night means coding, debugging etc.
In the hostel we knew even people from other batches too, here we don’t people from the adjacent cubicle.
This comparison can go on and on…
Conclusion for my preference. Do I need to mention it now after the above comaparison?
Well, in continuation from the last mail I can make out one thing: as we are going older, our circle of close friends is decreasing, the tensions are increasing, life is becoming more and more mechanized. Well can’t write anymore of this feels like we are going downwards from here maybe because of current state of my mind…dunno..
