First Day at Microsoft

I am as excited as a little kid's first time at DisneyLand.....



Got my Autums internship offer from my Dream company a.k.a Microsoft, and after the initial excitement died down, here i am getting my next set of nicotine boost right at their bangalore signature building(Embassy Golf link).
Here for the next 2 months working with their SMB and partner development program (Not only did i get my dream company but also my dream project... how lucky can i get) ^-^ .

Now lets get talking about this Microsoft heaven workplace....
The entire building reeks of microsoft's trademark :-
(a) Passion for Microsoft
(b) Passion for Technology
At every nook and corner you find one of those really cool Microsoft Banners and advertisements; and almost everything is tagged with M$ ranging from Paper Cups till Ceramic Plates.


As far as technology is concerned, you have devices you only imagined... for example the conferance room is equipped with a funky piece of H/w which has cameras mounted giving a 360 degree view of the entire room and as soon as it hears a voice it can zoom in on the particular person.... ULTIMATE technology; and just going around couple of floors there are seriously sci-fi objects whom i can't distinguish if they are there for Interior deco or actually serving some cool technical purpose.

All i can say right now is "I am Loving it"

Just to give a small overview of what's gonna happen :-
Day 1 : Arrive at campus, Get a Lappie (Yipee) just for the 2 months period
Day n/2 : An interim review along with getting to know across the various divisions of Microsoft.
Day n : Our pockets jingling with the internship salary :)
I really don't know if we can ask for any more ( a la oliver twist)
