Oracle Rocks

Today I met a guy called Ryan Lamose (sorry I don't know the exact spelling). Let me start from the first. Myself along with 6 other oracle recruits were invited to Taj Gateway on Friday for an event called project selection event. We were taken to the hotel on an innova and there were already more than 100 people, form different colleges. We had our breakfast in the gateway restaurant. I have never seen those many items for the breakfast before. We had a great time enjoying the 5* accommodation for the first time in our lives. Then we were given some Oracle identity cards and were made to sit in the conference room. Then many people had come and started explaining mumbo-humbos which our brains failed to process. I couldn't understand a bit. Very first presentation was by leng leng fung ( again don't know the exact spelling). She is a South Korean lady and she started explaining about EM (Enterprise Manager) and started correlating her trekking photographs with the the work we are gonna do followed by number of other boring presentations. I tried my level best to not to sleep but I failed just like ever. Then there was a great lunch I enjoyed it, some more presentation fallowed in the afternoon as well and we had one more dinner at around 7o clock. Then started my problem. The food started giving me stomach problem and I had a bad time vomiting in IISc. I thought I should never eat in the 5* again.
Next day was quite busy.I met say 6 people technically they are called managers. I never talked much with them except this guy called Rayn. He was so funny and so interesting that at that moment i decided not to miss him.
To day we had very boring day waiting for the announcements and I was very eager who I was gonna get. We drank the real juice, we ate, we talked, we roamed here and there and finally results were out. I jumped with joy as soon as I found my self in Ryan's team. He is standing at the back of the cafeteria. Kapil was one other guy who is also with me. I went to him and said "I'm very happy "
There were pizzas waiting for us but none of us including the iitb guy likes pizzas. Rayn said that he had already reserved a restaurant for six people and we started walk down the Lexington building. Suddenly Rayn wanted us to drop our bags (we just got new bags..) so all of us again went up, dumped our bags and returned. We didn't take car because walking is faster and comfortable in the forum area, we walked down to a restaurant through forum mall and our table was waiting for us in the first floor.
We had a great time. He offered me wine but I said no and then we chatted for so long and had really great time.
The way back was not that memorable because it was raining very heavily

I'm starving for sleep ,et me stop here
cheers
