It�â�€�™s going to be long, I request some patience.
502 Satyam Estate, yes after reaching Udaipur we were told to reach here. It took us some time to accept the fact that this was our home as well as office.
We were a group of 8 interns in Zigsaw Consultancy Services, 5 of them from my own college NIT Surat, 2 of them from IIT Kanpur and the last one from IIT Madras. The Kanpur guys had joined early in the first week of December. So they were already present to help and assist us. It was because of them we could have our meal that night.
Both of them were working so hard that night as if they got 10 assignments to solve. I was wondering whether I am the odd man among these workaholic chaps. I along with my friend and those two chaps, four of us became friends in just one bout of conversation.
The next morning he entered, the Green jacket guy who wears contact lens.�Â� When he took my interview on phone, he sounded like a 40 year old veteran and an influencing CEO.�Â� But when we saw him, he was just like one of us. Yes am talking about the man behind Zigsaw, Mr Vaibhav Chouhan.�Â�  Soon after, he called us, the marketing guys to provide ideas for his company.
Honestly speaking , before coming to zigsaw, the company seemed like a jigsaw puzzle to me. Open its website , look around, you find
�â�€�˜ Intern mapping�â�€�™, now what�â�€�™s that ?�Â� 
�â�€�˜Test algorithm�â�€�™ , no idea about it.
�â�€�˜ Permanent hiring�â�€�™, ok so this is a recruitment start-up.
Obviously I stood dumbstruck to his question. I rather asked him to explain it detail about the company.�Â� After a 3 hour interactive session we became familiar with the Zigsaw. The green jacket guy made us feel that it was our own company. He never hesitated in sharing the passwords and admin rights. He even shared his personal Facebook account password. Never before in my life I had received such an amazing hospitality.
Too much said about the first day, lets go ahead. Lunch and dinner was never a problem, thanks to the location of our office cum home. All the basic amenities were provided. You would feel as you just shifted to another room of your hostel, a deluxe one.
Nights, what shall I speak about this. 7 interns, 3 rooms, no neighbours, you know what happens then. Our nights were ruled by 3 C�â�€�™s , Cards, Cricket and Counterstrike had become a commonplace here. If the nights were to be described in three words, they would be �â�€�˜Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment !�â�€�™
While you are working there , you can go out and play cricket at any moment , he would never object provided you finish that day�â�€�™s task. Such an awesome start up atmosphere�Â�  you would find there.
Hats off to the developers , excellent work by them, sleepless nights, pain and exhaustion. Although they couldn�â�€�™t fix all the bugs, they played a key role in launching our job portal zigsaw.in.
�â�€�˜Momentum Officer�â�€�™ yes this was our designation, feels awkward but swaggy. We did various jobs, to name a few- data mining, online marketing, strategy development, social media promotion, client management etc
The best thing about the internship is that you get to swim in the corporate world for some time. The same surreal world which was once alien to us.
Our biggest achievement was the successful conduction of the Zigsaw internship festival a.k.a ZIF 1.0, Although we faced some initial hiccups but in the end all was well.
Some lines on how we spent our Sundays. I don�â�€�™t think there is any place left where we haven�â�€�™t travelled in Udaipur. We travelled not in auto-rickshaws, not�Â�  in�Â�  buses, but in bikes. A big thanks to the green jacket guy for this. Not to forget Udaipur has many tourist attractions and wow places like Lake city palace, Sajjangarh fort, Fatehsagar, Karni mata, neemach mata temple. 500 photos per day was our camera�â�€�™s frequency, just imagine how exciting it was, new friends, new cities, old bikes and unforgettable memories.
Finally some lines on our departure from Zigsaw . It was never easy, I wish I could have stayed there a few days more but we had to go. It was so difficult to hold on your tears while bidding the final goodbye, such was the effect of bonding with Zigsaw.

In a surprise turn of events, Jaish-e-Mohammed’s Chief Maulana Masood Azhar was eliminated by an unknown group of members. A relatively unknown group, Team-Z has claimed responsibility for these events The group is believed to have infiltrated one of Jaish-e-Mohammad training camp in the valley. The Indian embassy has denied any involvement in operation paper boat which was first speculated as a reaction to the operation Pathankot. This action seems to have been inspired by Naseeruddin shah’s starrer “Wednesday” where a common man decides to give terrorists a taste of their own medicine.

Pakistani Army Chief General Raheel Sharif & ISI chief Lieutenant-General Rizwan Akhter see this as a bold step by India and are yet to come out with an official statement. Surprisingly, Pakistani media is running this news with the utmost responsibility to ensure that peace is continued in the area. This effort of responsible journalism has been appreciated from all around the world especially when seen in high contrast with the insensitivity of Indian media in the recent Pathankot operation. Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif had congratulated Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi for the successful operation 2 hours before the operation actually took place. He later apologized for sleep-calling the Indian Embassy. This operation is met with celebration in Pakistan since they believe that this would re-rail the peace talks between the 2 countries. Also, Lashkar-e-table was ecstatic at the news since it would now have the undivided attention of the Intelligence Bureau (IB). Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah from J&K has maintained his double standards by arguing that these events raise fingers at the safety of the public. Strangely, this was after the Pakistani Media channels confirmed that no one except Jaish-e-Mohammed’s chief was harmed. Meanwhile, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh was surprised at operation, more so on how a small group of people was able to execute this highly coveted operation which even the best intelligence services would fear to plan.
P.S. The above article is not something that has actually happened but something that a common Indian man would want to happen
Let us take a minute and remember and salute the Pathankot martyrs who selflessly laid their lives to defend us. Team Zigsaw salutes the martyrs of Pathankot. Mother India is proud of you.

What are we doing?
What if we include functionalities of Linked�â�€�™in & Naukri? What if we try & quantify each skill mentioned in every individuals profile. Does that scare that, already? Now, add the thrills of Clash of Clans to gamify recruitment over Social Networks!!
Who are we looking for?

Passion is a Graphic Designer’s Inspiration
To make it interesting let’s have a Q.A format.
What is a Graphics Design?
Graphics Design is an art planning and projecting ideas in the form of visual and textual content. It primarily includes designing posters, logos, brochures, banners, memes, comics, etc.
What are the tools of Graphics Design?
The standard tools of graphics design include Adobe Photoshop, illustrator, after effects, etc. but this software is quite expensive unless you have pirated ones. But don’t worry, there are open source clones like Gimp, Scribus, Inkspace which are more than enough for beginners. But remember you need a pen and a sketchpad to plan before you start designing.
How to become a successful graphics designer?
Here I would like to share another quote with you Design is intelligence made visible This quote actually defines graphics design. The ability to present your visualization and imagination in a graphical way is the foundation of graphic design. Secondly, your design must be visually appealing, attractive, and lucrative. To ensure this you see whether your design conveys the information, whether your design has the appropriate color combination and contrast, whether your words are visible or not, whether your images are getting pixelized or not. As it is said, Too many cooks spoil the broth keep in mind that too many colors and visual effects ruin your design. Obviously no design is perfect, so an almost perfect design needs a thorough inspection of every corner of your design. Here we see that patience is one more skill that a good graphics designer should possess. Don’t blindly follow trends and copy the ideas from the existing designs, this might leave some great ideas from your quiver.
What if people don’t like my design?
Sometimes it is possible that to save yourself from criticism, you try to make defensive designs, this habit generally backfires, and your design doesn’t appeal to people. In my personal opinion if you have a chance to create something extra-ordinary, why be satisfied with the ordinary design. Let your design be exposed to ideas, let it undergo all experiments and after all, it is not necessary that if some people don’t like your design others won’t like it too. Have confidence in your work and keep practicing, because behind every successful graphics designer there are many sleepless nights of hard work. A simple hack I would like to share, before finally launching your design, show it to your friends, if they like it then well and good, if not then try something else or improve the same.
What if I find graphics design boring?
Don’t design for the sake of designing, do it because you love it. Design is a passion not a burden, designers while designing tend to become insensate having nothing to do with the physical world. They don’t even know about the time despite it being in the bottom right corner of their laptops.
What is my future in graphics designing?
Designers can find themselves with a no of titles. They can design for a start-up, helping them in advertisement, social media, logo etc. You can work at freelance doing work on contract basis. You can later become the chief designer or the design head at senior positions in a company.
Finally, I would like to conclude with the line – Design because you love to!

Content writers are professional writers who produce engaging content for use over the internet. Content writers produce the content for many different types of websites including blogs, social networks, e-commerce sites, news aggregators, etc.
Every website has a specific target audience &requires different types of content. The content should contain words that help attract as well as retain users on the website.
For being successful, content writers must master different writing styles. The reason for this is that each form of writing has its own style. Blogging is often opinion-oriented &personable while an Ad-copy is short &persuasive. For being able to cater to different requirements, content writers must possess a mastery of different writing skills.
For being successful in content writing one must be original. Each &every article or post bearing your name must be original. Being original helps one bring a unique voice, a different perspective, or throw new light on some overworked subject. Plagiarized content puts your career & the reputation of your client /employer in jeopardy.
The key to success is to keep yours to keep your content valuable and relevant while ensuring that it is concise and to the point. Also checking and rechecking for grammar & spelling errors is very important. Nothing looks more unprofessional than a website having grammar & spelling errors.
Follow an inverted pyramid method i.e. put your conclusion at the beginning of your content & work backward from there. This puts your most important information front &center.
Use a conversational tone to connect with your audience and avoid using marketing and technical jargon as far as possible. This is essential for connecting with your audience in a better manner and help to engage them with your content.
Use relevant images to complement the text and enhance the visual appearance for your content.
Always remember nothing engages your audience than high-quality original content with a unique perspective.
So folks put your thinking caps on & get going in your quest to be successful content writers.

In the present era if we talk about internships; they are not just a matter of choice but somehow they are becoming an integral part of the academic curriculum. Because getting a degree is going to help one get a job. But getting internships is going make one stand out of the crowd. And who doesn’t want to become an outstanding candidate? So let’s begin with the root question that why is internship necessary. Imagine a scenario where one is taught all about swimming and never allowed to practice it. What happens in such a situation when one is directly exposed to swim in the sea? Either of the two things is going to happen- a.) Start with baby steps, practice at the shore, and then when one feels that he/she is ready to explore the depth of sea they should swim till the farthest they can reach. b.) Dive straightaway in the sea. If the waves favor one will get through else signal for the lifeboat and quit it.
Evaluating both the situations it can be seen that the former situation demands a great amount of time whereas the latter one kind of shatters our hope. Neither of them is giving an optimized solution. Now just rewind the situation and consider that while being taught about swimming one is timely exposed to pools for a short duration of time to implement all that one has been taught. By doing this one can avoid the risk of taking baby steps as well as need to call the lifeboat.
Internships are the small pools that can help one to survive the sea of full-time jobs.
The example stated would have made it very clear that what is the evidence of internship in the contemporary world. Apart from it, a few more benefits that it can provide areas-
* An edge over all the peers.
* An impressive resume.
* Exposure to the real-world scenario
* Familiarity with the corporate culture
* A sense of the kind of future one wants for oneself.
* Providing a better view of the future requirements.
These are a few of the many benefits which can be sought from internships. Else for the right candidate ‘sky is the limit’.
