One Team.. One Spirit.. One Win..!

One Team – One Spirit – One Win….

Do you know how a lion hunts for its prey among a herd? It observes them for a while from a distance, shortlists one and attacks, that is Why this post comes here today. I actually we, have been waiting for the right time to come.

So, everyone is unique. Like the five fingers of a hand, what if we put together as one? “The Fist” comes, a stronger one. That is what expected to come, and is called as Team Work. A collection of strong-minded individuals, who have learned to make up a strong team are almost impossible to beat.

I have never thought that I would step into such a team on April 18, when I entered Cognizant.

Yes..! My Batch is “THUMB RAISERS” – One Team – One Spirit – One Win!

We, 22 Associates, are from different States, from different parts of Tamil Nadu, and from different Engineering background and from different cultural background are united by a single word. “Cognizant”

It’s Bliss.

Let me Say, first, about our Monitors..,

To Begin with, The Captain of The Ship, Roger Prakash [288211], our Batch Owner is supportive and never let us down or alone at any circumstance. He is an admiring personality and a good Leader. he is the man with an energetic smile on face which makes us refreshed. Thank you Roger for leading us in a good way and thanks for all your help even when you at your difficult time. We are blessed to have him as our Owner.

Our Mentor, Karthikeyan, supprted, taught and gave us a Chance to know how a Business Unit would be; He taught us What to do and How to do. Really Blessed Again!

Here Comes the Coach.., Our Technical trainer, Kavitha Madam. One day, there were some associates from business unit came to address us. They saw our trainer and at once they are excited and said “Guys, You are Lucky to have Kavitha as your Trainer”. On Training days, we felt how true that is! She is the one who filled our empty mind with technical knowledge. She is strict but Compassionate, Lenient but Stern, Helpful and Friendly all the time. No More words I have...

Our Behavior Session’s Trainer Shanthi. She said Our Batch was quite special to her as she could feel some happiness and energy when she entered our room every time. We too felt the same. She taught Professional Etiquettes such a way that we may never forget!

Jeyanthi handled Cognorators session and to say about her, So Special, I have to repeat all the words that are said earlier... Behavioral Sessions converted us into professional whereas "Cognorators" taught us how to proceed, in cognizant by being professional.

In a Nutshell, (Thanks to Jeyanthi :) ), we are Glad that we got great trainers, so that “Not even a single session was boring and sleepy.”

Outing:

Our Batch has gone to so many places in Chennai. Starting from Velachery Phoenix Mall, We went to Muttukadu Backwaters, Kovalam Beach, Marina Beach, and Mahabalipuram. Each and Every time the Co-ordination was awesome, we enjoyed a lot. If Kala Master sees our enjoyment, she would’ve said “kizhi kizhi kizhi”. Then Dinner @ Thiruvanmiyur, Sholinganallur, Adyar. Lunch @ Sholinganallur, Mahabalipuram etc etc etc.., We use to sit in the Open Auditorium infront of Cafeteria Daily at Lunch and we’ll come back together!

Team @ Mahabalipuram

Team:

Unity is Strength. The more we do want to be united, the less we call it done. Though it is unofficial to say, I hereby display the nicknames of our batch [Universally accepted!] Only to express how unite we are...

“Youth, Kavignar Padayappa, Renigunta, Don kutty, Maddy, Marma Nabar, Kattabomman, Happiness/Kili, Mayilu, Benz, Chellaakutty, Thala, Dubru Chetta, Ghosal, Fox, Komban, Sathishananadha, Mahe, Aaththaa and so on”

Out Reach:

Is Entertainment and Enjoyment Enough???

We need an Ace in the hole! We called on Annai Illam, A Homage for at-risk and orphaned Children and Old Age People, in Kottivakkam; A New World for us where we had seen what life is. They are not Orphans or at-risk people. They loved everyone. They loved us. We loved them. They are relatives to each other. They are relatives to God! We had a Great time there. We made them Laugh, Dance, Sing and Enjoy.

Also we helped them by lending a hand to fulfill their basic needs.

That was the Happiest day in Our Batch; One of the happiest days in our Life.

I could write about each and everyone in the Batch...

Creativity and Enthusiasm:

We have a football Champ, A Chess Champ, Some Coolest Guys, Fruitful Readers, Kind hearted People. And So on...

Let me List out some of the Articles by Our batch mates in C2...

Jagan Raj’s Life in Chess, Invincible Fox’s Love Stories, Pari’s Experiences with the Rain, Benjamin’s Journey, Manikanda Prabhu’s Drive are some creative Articles in Company Blog.

One Day, I had a chat with some friends. They Said and I quote “Academy life is a Promising Period” I make a small correction “Our Thumb Raisers Life, here, in two Months, is One of the Most Promising Periods Ever”

July 5^th, 2013, we are  released from the Batch and That Explains why the First Para is included! Yes! This is the Right time to Express.

 

Everyone speaks Parting Words at the End but we dont because

Parting Words are only for those who part or depart... Not for us...

We are One Team... We have One Spirit... we made One Win...
