Where it started. This is me in
September 2018, the night before my Cisco interview, hurriedly gathering suits and boots from friends. Epitomizing
college life 😁. Touchdown in Bengaluru. I lived with my uncle
and his family. This was taken right after they picked me up at the airport! First day at Cisco! Right outside BGL 17! I
proceeded to use this picture as my display on almost all social media sites 😂 With the other Cisco interns! Notes made during the internship. Don't be
fooled, I am not so neat. The notes progressively kept getting worse! 😄 At the famed Corner House dessert company of
Bengaluru. I must've significantly increased my chances of contracting diabetes later on in my life in that one
night. Gorging on some delicious fried fish!
A dejected pub full of Arsenal fans,
depressed as we just lost the Europa League Final to Chelsea. Still feel scarred due to that day. At the Bannerghatta National Park with my
cousins and Uncle! DJ Snake in the house put yo hands in the
airrrrrrr! Birdwatching and Birdcatching. Yeah. Not
the other kind unfortunately. :( At the Karnataka High Court. Incidentally,
this is when I realized I needed glasses as I couldn't read what was written on the building, but my Uncle and
sister could. Randomly running into Abhro, my Class 12
friend, at a local KFC, after some 3 years without contact. Abhro was interning at Adobe then. A very lucky
meeting indeed! The chilling rooms on the Cisco campus. For
winding down when you need a break. With Gaganjeet, my senior from school who
incidentally was also my intern partner. We became good friends during this intern and it was Gaganjeet who
talked me into seriously considering graduate studies in Computer Science! The smiles on our faces are because we have
been told we are getting a full time offer at Cisco 😂! This was taken on our last day of the internship.
Stepping out of the Cisco campus one last
time. I intentionally wore the same clothes I wore on my first day at Cisco. Handing back the access badge which
contains a photo of me I am not proud of, was easier than I thought. 😌 Taking one last picture of Bengaluru from
the plane that would take me back to Pune. I couldn't meet some people I wanted to, but met people I never
expected to! 1/19
