My Leisure Time Click Series - Collection II

 Nice to meet you the second time through my Collection Series II. In this series, I have added some of my interesting clicks, which lies on various fields of photography. These pictures make you think how nature looks different for different eyes. Being an amateur in photography, some of the clicks may look odd for professionals.

Bokeh Street

First time in my photography life, I have made a bokeh photography. Yeah, it's my Moto G that made this daunting click. I used on of my finger to make the lights out of focus. It's crazy right? This picture may bring your desktop a dark impressive background.

Chrysanthemum

 Again a dark click!!! This is a flower blossoms in my backyard. All the flowers are stunning with a black background. Backgrounds are no edit, it's all off the majestic Moto G's astounding exposure control.

Periyakadu Beach - Seashore view

 Really talking from my heart, this is the most stupendous site I've ever seen in my life. This is one of the place in my hometown where population roaming is less. Absolutely it is the reason why the site remains stunning.

Wild yellow

 In our college, usage of smartphones are restricted. If I'm following this unworthy rule, how could this daunting yellow queen poses before me. Actually the click is an accidental one, when I taught my friend about photography. At that time I didn't even guessed that this pictures gets itself displayed before your eyes.

A tarred road in focus

The Long way!!! One fine day I was supposed to walk through this alone road. The incredible climate and blowing breeze made me to enjoy the beauty of wet road. The tiny crushed gravels and tar glue made the awesome look to the lenses

My Leisure Time Click Series - Collection I

This is my first collection of photography. All the photos are taken in different locations. As I said, three pictures in this collection are taken from my home alone. My neighbors used to make fun of me, when I'm moving here and there with a smartphone in hands. Don't try to guess any high end smartphones, these pictures are the creation of my Moto G first-gen (5 MP camera) and Lumia 720 (6.1 MP camera).

Wild cat

 I love playing with cats. Cats also do the same in return. Playing with their furry forehead and skinny neck-side are my outdoor pleasure. This cat is residing here with me for about 2 months. It is a wild cat normally impossible to find in town-sides, but possible in my home alone. Lol! In that case we are really lucky to have this. Luvvv you catty.

Coconut shell

When I've gone for a picnic to Kanyakumari, me with my family members planned to take a breeze from a really beautiful seashore there. At that precious second of my life, my eyes had gone through some interesting things around there. I took many pictures there and one of them is the coconut. Coconut is my favorite but to my fate it was an empty coconut :-(

White rose

White roses always glow in pride. This is one of the flowers blossom in my backyard one fine day. The flower smiles in cherish as they got pictured on my phone. Usually all the creations in my backyard smiles at me all time as myself is having a smiling face-cut.

Making you to think whether it is a white or yellow rose, right? Yeah, It's again white majesty. I think the flower makes it's right pose to my camera lenses. This one will make a nice background image for your PCs.

My Leisure Time Click Series

I started my journey as a photographer from my age 17. I have photographed many natural touching scenery usually from my home backyard. I love nature photography and this may be the reason why my first video production lies on nature. DSLRs are my dreams; Smartphones are reality. Till then I've done up to the mark. My first photography was made with my Nokia Lumia 720 stuffed with an awesome 6.1 MP camera. Later on I've switched to Moto G first-gen for it's Operating System. Till then I've missed my Lumia a lot. Yet my Moto also made it's part well on capturing daylight scenery.

My First Job Interview Experience - SAP Labs India - Scholar@SAP

Hello folks!
 It was a great morning on Saturday. I was returning from my cousin's marriage, leaving it half attended to appear for SAP Labs recruitment drive at my college (Loyola ICAM College of Engineering and Technology) on 19th September, 2015. I was quite bothered, reading online blogs about experiences of those who got previously selected at SAP Labs, were from Computer Science background. I'm from Electronics and Communication Engineering, I have a different background that of Computer Science students. I was quite disturbed by this thought. Yet, I had a confidence, at some corner of my heart, that I can make a break-through at SAP Labs interview.

The Move

I was quite passionate about SAP Labs, because they offered 2 year M.Tech program at BITS Pilani, along with job, for the selected students,with no out-of-pocket expenses. It was called 'Scholar@SAP' program. So, I opted for the screening test, which happened two weeks before the 'Interview Day', at my college.

Screening Test

The screening test was quite challenging and interesting, with the first part to test our personality (They had some name for that. I don't remember!), which had 60 questions to be answered in 10 minutes. Then the Technical part, testing our knowledge in Computer Science and Database systems. I was able to answer questions about programming language and OOPS concept, but nothing about DBMS and stuff related to that. Then, some 'Logical Testing' and 'Vocabulary Testing'.
One fine day, we got a confirmation mail stating that I can attend the 'Final Round Interview' for SAP Labs, to be held at our college campus. Myself along with my friend, Shriram from Computer Science Engineering from my college got cleared through the screening test along with some girls from my college.

The 'Interview Day'

It was the 'Interview Day'. I got the shirt-sleeves buttoned and my certificates arranged in a file, borrowed from my friend (Unfortunately, I don't have one). There was an Introduction session about the company and the products. We were told that it was a three-round interview with 2 Technical rounds and 1 HR round. Then, after this session, we were asked to wait, for our interview rounds.

Technical Round - I

Still I was searching for a seat, I was called for Technical Round - I. I appeared before my first interviewer. He asked me to give an introduction about me, he gave me some puzzles to solve and to find mathematical solutions to it, also to make an algorithmic approach for the solutions. I was so cool, I solved almost all the puzzles. Those puzzles were new to me (because I'm not a nerd), but pretty interesting.

Technical Round - II

Then I was called for Technical Round - II. This round was more lenient and the interviewer seemed easy on me. He asked me to rank C, C++ and Java, according to my expertise level. I ranked it and he asked me questions based on it. Seems easy right? We were given a formal application form at the introduction session, where we were asked to 'tick' the programming languages we know. I 'ticked' C, C++ and Java. I know some Python too. I know I'm a noob in Python, so I haven't ticked it. Its all about expertise level and not the number of languages you know or heard!So, Be cautious while making an impression at the interview.

HR Round

I got through Technical Round - II! Finally, it was HR Round. This round was the most interesting one. I really enjoyed that. There were two HR managers. I greeted them with a smile and introduced myself, my achievements and my family. The game changer at the interview was two things for me. First one was my Android game called 'Kolr' on Google Play (Checkout 'Kolr - A color tapping game') and Second one was, about my idea which got selected as one among top 20 ideas across India for 'Suggestion of ideas for PMO App Phase I'. I explained these two things. Also there were some more questions to test my attitude. I tend to be positive in everything. 'Being positive' was the real test actually.
I was quite cool and humorous, the whole day. Also pretty confident and bold. One thing I must tell you, whatever may be 'Be positive'. This attitude will help you a lot! I assure.
Then we had a photo-shoot session and took a groupfie! The day ended happily!
