Kolkata Trip Day 2





After a hectic night trying to find a hotel, it was 1 AM when I went to sleep. I was informed that i had to travel to Durgapur 3 hrs from kolkatta and I would be alone and I had to complete the written test and come back again to kolkatta. Oh it was a hectic trip i thought. Morning 5 AM, got a call from the placement officer, Krithika and Vidya had made the baggage ready for me. I left Kolkata at 6 AM. Funny once again, forgot take snaps during travel. As always ... I had nice small naps during the trip to Durgapur with interruptions from the PO with small discussions on current IT scenarios. I reached Durgapur @ 8.30 AM where i was introduced to the college asst PO. The strength of students was huge, i had to give a brief talk about the organisation , which took some 20 minutes .After wards arrange for the test and start off with it , Luckily the volunteers were helpful with all of these people joining L&T Infotech in 2008. Test finished @ 3 PM . During the test all volunteers were busy asking me questions on the company and my personal life. I remembered my college days where i was in the same place and used to interact with the company people. I took leave from the college at 4 after having a light Bengali lunch (without Paneer). during travel back to kolkatta i had a chance to take some photos which are here...... finally reached kolkatta at 6.30 PM , i had been told to come to CIT where Krithika and Vidya were having a campus recruitment , that day was horrible for them .when we left , the students told that there was a concert of KK as part of their college fest, we were in no mood to stay back , as one more travel was awaiting us the next day to Kalyani ( 1.5 hrs from kolkatta) . Way back we traveled through the heart of Kolkatta was able to see the famous spots (Victoria memorial, Eden garden, Howrah bridge, Missionaries of charities.....) finally the Tram was visible... unfortunately no photos here.....

Had a nice dinner at hotel and went back to sleep as Vidya and Krithika continued with the paper correction. The next day's schedule was to travel to Kalyani where 2 campus recruitments were to be held. The details in next post.
