Kids and Childhood It always gives us pleasure when we see a small kid and more when the kid is laughing or smiling.

I’ve to say that all the people in my batch are really friendly and nice. All of us are students of 2008 passed out batches but then seem like still college student! So we all are experiencing this transformation of college to corporate environment. Well cognizant campus itself is pretty good. Have been to two places and liked it. The environment and atmosphere and the p...
