Last Day at Qualcomm :(

When i am leaving Qualcomm now i am realizing what am i loosing. Two months which were like dream come true period. Best review i can get from my mentor( Mr. Uttam Patanayak) in which he says that i am "Hard working and sincere person. I had done good job in developing Tool", that will be further used by Qualcomm and "Best wishes for life ahead" Thanks Sir, a mentor like you is very rarely seen.

We went for lunch at a grand hotel, food was delicious and team outing was the thing which showed how everyone enjoyed their job. I enjoyed like anything.

Returned from there got Intern's T-Shirt from Madam Shilpi Singh, who was so friendly with us all the time, everyone wished Best Luck for future and really I want to do my final sem Internship at Qualcomm, Hyderabad.

Bye Qualcomm for now hope to see u soon.

Official Story by Sunkara, Sudhir Kumar, Senior Engineer Qualcomm HYD

The beauty of sport lies in its unpredictability and the challenge of

sport lies in rising up to the situation. And this is what one

witnessed in our match with IBM on saturday.

IBM won the toss and chose to bat. Our captain Satyam Borah and

strike bowler Shiva were not available for the match. Rajasekhar

Gandhi captained the team for this match.

And the situation was totally not favorable to the "new" new ball

pair of Shubendra and Nickle... well, the bashing was a little too

harsh on us too. IBM went upto 80 runs in 4 overs! A bowling change

did the trick - well not exactly the bowling change, but a nice run

out by the wicket keeper Santhana alias Sandy ;-), ensured that we

get the first breakthrough.

The next over saw a wonderful catch being taken by Chandra. Running

all the way from long on to mid on, he pulled off what many would

have dismissed as something impossible. And the very next ball, Sandy

stumped their 3rd batsmen. Gandhi was bowler. Gandhi soon took their

4th wicket and IBM was suddenly reeling at 90-4. Talk about

unpredictability in sport!

The next bowling pair of Chandra and Vaidya were just not satisfied

with maintaining the tempo, so they upped it!! Chandra took 2 wickets

for 12 runs in 4 overs, and Vaidya took 3 wickets 16 runs in his 4

overs. A catch by Rajeev ended the IBM innings in 16.4 overs at 132 runs!

Special mention has to be made about our fielding here. The agility

of the players clearly helped in controlling the scoring rate all

through the innings. Brilliant catches by Chandra, Sumit and Gandhi

surely inspired the others to live up to the high standards thus set.

Catches, after all, do win matches :-)

Our opening batsmen Vaidya was in no mood to wait for a long time to

complete the match. His 48 runs came in 25 balls and this included

four 6's too. And ohh btw, twice the ball was lost outside the

stadium! By the time he got out, we were comfortably placed at 75 for

1 in 8 overs. And then a small mid-order collapse of 4 more wickets

did create tension though.

With 6 overs left and about 35 runs required. Shubendra Singh and

Gandhi steadied the innings. When Gandhi eventually got out, we

needed 12 runs off 9 balls. And the last over required us to score 7

runs. Sandy and Shubendra completed the job with 3 balls left! The

challenge of beating IBM was thus accomplished in a thriller!

Surely, the entire match was a totally perfect team effort, with the

captain truly leading from the front and all players complimenting

each other superbly. To beat a big team like IBM is no mean

achievement, and to accomplish this without some key players just

makes the achievement more worthwhile :-) Kudos to the team, and good

luck for the future!

Awesome cricket match against IBM, we won, summer internship rox at qualcomm....

Cricket tournament going here at Hyderabad between different Company's like TCS, Kotak Mahindra, IBM, Wipro etc. and off course Qualcomm is participating in it.

Match was in a Ground with good turf but it was pretty dried up wicket so no mercy for bowler's. But if the bowler like me bowling after 5 years with new ball, the situation can be pretty bad to worse like 1st over 35 runs for no loss, with 2 boundaries in the over.

Situation was handled by Gandhi our truly deserving captain, Nitin the level headed bowler, Kaustubh Vaidya who can spin bowl like anything and last but not least Chandra who is perfectionist. IBM made 132 in 16 overs all out.

My situation was pathetic, i thought i will never play cricket anymore. But the guys were awesome they understood my situation and cheered me up Chandra, Sumit, Arun, Rajeev, Gandhi and Sandy esp.

I thought just one thing if we lost today its just because of me. But destiny had some good moments reserved for me later in the game.

Vaidya and Sumit are left hander batsmen that resemble Jaysuriya and Gambhir in their style of cricket. These guys made 72 in 8 overs, obviously in this situation we were winning very easily.
But situation changed and we were 97/4 in 14 overs, Sandy had pushed me up the order before him, now i knew this was my moment.

I and Gandhi played for another 4 overs with bringing the situation to 12 runs needed in 2 overs. I was trying to be a pinch hitter but then ball wasn't really coming, I just took singles and then Gandhi was given out as LBW but it wasn't right decision at all, "umpires decision is last decision" and we honour it.

So situation was 7 runs needed in an over, Sandy a fast runner between the wickets took a double on 1st bowl, single on second and i hit a four over the covers to lead Qualcomm to win over IBM by 5 wickets.

Ya Destiny always shows you the position where you have to take a decision, i took and got best memories of my life. A very happy ending to a very happy summer internship at Qualcomm.

Dreams: The mysterious One's

Places i visit become mysterious when i feel i have been there, like "Shivji ka mandir at Bajinath, Himachal Pradesh (North India)" luckily i also got its picture.

This temple is completely made of stone, as you might be knowing this stone can be found only in central and southern parts of India!

Now moving on to dream i saw yesterday, it was like i was standing at the peak of mountain looking back what i gained what i lost. I saw this girl in pink salwar kurta couldn't recognize whether i have ever seen her, but she was beautiful.

I kept seeing these frames, where like in every era i was with her, seriously if i could show you what i saw you will be astonished to see. Still posting some pictures of similar places which i saw her with me,

This was the first one, the whole world is like black and white and there is so much peace that if you even talk you are breaking the silence of graveyard.


I was with her, when breeze hit you and you feel like if you were to die anywhere, you should die at this place.



In the summers, i was with her beside lake that has its splendid scenery.



In different era's, i used to recite poems to her.


Fought so many wars, with ever fearing will i go back and meet her and she feeling the same.


And in the modern times, we used to admire the beauty around.
