The First day of my Infosys Virtually

  Oh god, we’re the first batch to join Infosys virtually and missing the Mysore campus very bad. Ever since I selected for Infosys I dreamt and planned how to enjoy life at the Mysore campus. The moment covid hit India, Our plans and dream of visiting a beautiful campus shattered. After a year of selecting through the placement finally the day has come to join the firm virtually. Today (May 3rd, 2021) is my first day joining Infosys Virtually and I’m so excited to join the firm and explore more features and learning technologies. They asked us to join through “WebEx” which we did. The session is great and we and the host interacted very well. They welcomed us to Infosys and the feeling is great. Looking more to learn and work with the firm. Thank you I have also made a video regarding the joining process for freshers so that they don’t have any struggles during the joining. Below is the video link. https://youtu.be/9JBxJ9Qq0E0

The Struggle of making a YT Vid

 It's been three days since I got the idea to make a video. The making of this video requires nearly 10 males and females each. Having been set with the males, many of my female friends are refusing to make the video as they are afraid of these social identities. I just don't know why, just get stucked in this situation. I just gave the thought of made this video only with my male friends. I wish I could do this video by tomorrow.

The Perfect way of preparing CAT

Well, if you follow these rules with perfect discipline, you will definitely rock the exam.
