As I said in my previous post, I was asked to visit Rediff Office in Mumbai. I thought Wednesday (25th) would be a great idea. Informed the same to HR. I got the return ticket to Mumbai on Tuesday. This was the first time I was going to Mumbai and also the first time I

Rediff Interview

Kulbir Saini — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:53:04 +0000

A few days back I got a call from an alumnus about a job opening at Rediff in my domain (server side craziness ). Initially I was a bit surprised because I was not expecting something like that at all. After discussing a bit more about it, I returned to my room and forwarded

To be or not to be Marcus Cocoza

The feeling that B.Tech. is almost over forces me to feel a bit nervous. I spend (I am not sure whether to call it wastage) a lot of time socializing (at coffee shop and in BC with friends) and rest of the time I am sitting in front of my computer screen trying to develop

Exams Over and Upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.2

Kulbir Saini — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:46:52 +0000

Finally the exams are over for the 20th time ever since I joined IIIT. 20 times in just 3 years is a bit too much of evaluation and still there is not even single person in my batch who can really be evaluated based on his/her scores in these so called exams. More than 80%
