First honeymoon period Continued....

hey guys, I am back...

As most of you are really looking out for this one...So here goes the story ...

We around 90 GET's ( Graduate engineer trainees) in Maruti udyog limited were enjoying this so called GET honeymoon period to the core. Heavy pay for no work at all. We used to carry novels,newspapers,comics and lot many stuff in our bags . Even school kids would have got a complex looking at our bags but the difference is  that we had all the useless and time pass stuff in that bag. We engineers in a groups of 7-8 were disposed off in training halls and we used to experiment with all the stuff which we had  never even thought off. Some really dedicated ,no its the wrong word...some really chipku guys used to work a lot during that time period also..yes i am talking of arpit kapila, jiwan goel and some other guys.

                                  All the executives had a lunch span of 30 mins but we GET's used to have extended lunch session which goes for around 2 hours :-) ...Then some chain smokers gets assembled after the lunch near the dispensary :-) ..yes dispensary and they take along with them some passive smokers as well.then there goes the bakar...Discussion being right from the coolest chick in HR and amongst trainees to how to spend the rest of the day. Some really clever guys..i would call them managers cos of the way they manage things at that moment cracked the code of fooling the security personnel and leaving the company before the stipulated working hours. That worked like a master formula for all the GET's.

                                                      We were trained through all the departments right from Production,Production engineering,Engineering,Quality and there came the Sales and service training - the much awaited training because it works just like the wedding night.We 2 guys me and Ajay arora were given Ahmedabad as the location for our sales and service training at their Regional office.

                           We reached ahmedabad and looked out for some good place nearby the regional office to stay in for one month.We got a PG house nearby mitha khali ka chowk.really cool place and crossword just in front of the house worked like a boon for both of us because of the tonic they used to offfer.Some really cool chicks used to come in the evening and that was a time pass for we both people.We made some really good friends rajaj,vipin and Gajau...We both were alloted one dealer to work with. One weekend we thought of going to mumbai-the financial capital of india. and we planned it out.

                                            We reached mumbai via overnight journey via express highway,really cool journey and we took a room nearby Juhu beach.For both of us this was our first visit to Mumbai. We have planned something prior to coming to mumbai and that plan was to visit a dance bar named TOPAZ bar-famous cos of shooting of the film CHANDNI BAR. Bas phir kya tha after freaking out near juhu in the evening ...we reached Topaz bar in the night and felt elated to the quality of girls going in after coming out of big cars but were kinda scared to see the Bouncers standing at the main door.but we some how gathered all our courage and moved in and were only shocked and surprised to see what was going inside. There was one big stage inside in the middle of the hall and a circular one and the most beautiful girls i have ever seen were dancing in their ghagra-choli and the scenes were awesome. We have never seen those scenes. 

            Then there came the  bartender and alloted us the corner seats :-( .  Too far away from beauty and we looked at the menu and that took some wind out of us. Rates were almost inflated 300 % but as we have been alloted seats,there was no room for us to leave the place. Then we ordered two kingfisher beers and some peanuts which were the only things affordable to us.By the time our ordered came we looked at the scenes around us. Some men were calling those beauties towards them by showing them  100 rupees notes and the indian currency was flowing like anything . Now i came to know how come those girls come out of big cars and why the inflation is too high :-P . we had only 10 rupee notes and we were kind of shy to call those beauties by showing such less valued money.We knew they deserve better than this but some how we showed them 10 rupee note and none of the girls came towards us . These girls were looking  so pure as not to get dirty by even touching. you can't touch them dats the bottomline otherwise the bouncers were just looking for that moment to throw you out . then there came our order and we had to gulp it in no time because bartenders were standing on our heads and were waiting for us to get finished so that some more people who were waiting outside can come in. 

              That day was the most funny part of our trip to Mumbai and so called the honeymoon period. I can still recall those moments and asks a basic question to myself " Will those moments come back again in my life " and with this hope that someday we friends will again meet up and make some fresh memories....i live my life  day by day hoping for that day to come soon........

                     

First honeymoon of my Life

hi guys

I am writing this one  on public demand. This instance made  me and my friend famous in a short span of time amongst mechanical guys.I am sorry Ajay, i am making this public but have to do this for the greater interest of our Friends.

Soon after passing out from P.E.C,we 16 guys got into Maruti udyog limited,the most coveted job on campus for the mechanical guys.i can still recall the date of joining 4th june 2004 and we were like so very thrilled to start our career with such a big company.

      In the first few days we were oriented throughout the company with the help of presentations from big shots of maruti. on the very second day,Mr jagdish khattar walked in and we were not aware of this fact and soon realized that we are meeting the top boss of the company.To make an impression everybody asked questions to him but i can still recall one question which surprised all the people sitting in the hall including Mr khattar and that question was asked by our very own Model Mr jha and the question was " sir , how can we become the CEO and head of security wing" .Mr khattar was taken aback cos being a head of some technical department is auk but security wing made no sense. we made a lot of pranks on jha after that.

  For the first month we were given transit accommodation in hotel welcome like hotel decent of jab we met.We were given option of an Ac room with 4 guys or a non-ac room on twin sharing basis.We opted an Ac room and we four guys me, jha, ajay and avnish made that room a real mess. We made that AC work really hard. Break even point of that AC reached in no time :-P

                             In that hotel somehow somebody figured it out that we can do STD and ISD calls from our rooms but that was illegal.But who cares when 10 naughty minds come at one place. what we used to do was we called our college friends who got into some companies but had not joined till that time .We called them on the behalf HR department of their companies in which they got through and asked very silly and naughty questions.Sometimes they get so much scared that they hanged the phone in between.

                                       I can recall one conversation with our friend Mr Tulsi prasad garg who got into TCS.We called him at around 12 in the night and told him that we are calling from TCS-HR and we would like to interview you again.He was so scared but he had no other option. Everybody asked such difficult questions that were next to impossible to answer. After this conversation we told tulsi that you have failed in the interview and your offer stands cancelled.He was so scared and told us again n again that sir,Please take my another interview next day so that at least he can revise the subjects.We could not control our laughter and went mad laughing over and over. Just like this we made numerous calls and everyday we used to make a BAKRA amongst our friends.

       One day we thought of having a Daru party in our hotel.We a group of 7-8 guys including trehan,tiwari and bhaskar made all the arrangements.We took beer and some hard core guys :-P took old monk( really hard drink). ajay had never tried hard drink before.We asked him to join the gang and he agreed.bas phir kya tha everybody was talli...Ajay was so out that we asked him to go out and puke if he wanted to. while taking him out of the hotel,he puked right over the waiter. shit that was so embarrassing for we people as well...we were all out but we somehow kept the situation under control cos waiter said thet he will complain about we people to Maruti HR. But some how we managed to get through this.That day at around 2 in the night we played football in the hotel lawn.all were topless and the interesting thing was we played football with some other thing which i can't recall.yes the reason is that we were all out.

To be continued - still to come why me and ajay got famous !!!

       

Viva exam - A new way towards Glory

hey friends ...i am back..Sorry for the delay as i was busy in exams....no no not viva exams but some serious exams :-)

Today i am going to write about my experiences in P.E.C.I will take you through the most funniest part of my life in P.E.C. i.e. studies. Yes studies was the most funniest part in P.E.C. Also this part is requested by Navdeep-our own khadku group leader.So i am bound to write this blog for him and i want to dedicate my this very own blog to him.

The first year was common for all branches and it was fun to attend classes with the most demanded branch of the college . Comp. science!!! not because of the intelligence but because of Girls..On a serious note we had some funny subjects in first year not because of the subject but because of the teachers.We had one bong teacher who taught us physics.It was fun to revisit physics funda in his language. And we have to rush to the class not because he taught superbly but because if we are late then he make us stand up on our seats and sometimes he don't let us come in the class. and if we fail to fulfill the attendance criteria then supplement. And the most funniest part was viva exams of physics in which we have to show whatever little we have learned into practicality which never used to work in front of the professor. Lot many connections we have to make. So what we used to do was we make all permutations and combinations in terms of ..resistance-ohms-current-potential..aur pata nahi kya kya...and if our kismat konnection is all right then the perfect combination might happen in that one hour and if u failed to make that lone combination...then reappear......paas hona mushkil tha and if i m recalling it right ..He gave the maximum no. of supplements.

Somehow i managed to clear the first year with 5th position in  the class (I don't know how...Even today) and i even got scholarship for that as well but my hopes of getting a degree with honors was shattered when i was caught in the web of ATD(Applied thermodynamics)viva exam.

We were called in a group of 5 for viva exams and somehow 0626-Nipun ( what the F*** yaar) was absent.So we five students i.e. me(625,)Nitin(627),Pankaj(628),Chotu(629) and pratap(630) went in.The questions were floating one like each question was passed on to everyone.and most of the answers were given by me.In the mid way below the desk somebody from the four of my colleagues (and now i can say he was chotu)...banged his foot in professor's thigh. and professor(head of mechanical deptt.) suddenly stood up in reaction and that was a quick one and none of us knew except chotu that he stood up cos of banging. And he like stared all of us and me in general with a hard look.I thought i answered one question wrong and i was like convincing prof again n again.

After 3 months,when i was doing my summer internship in Hero honda motors ,I got news from my dad that i got a reappear in some exam and was more happy and amazed to know that that exam is ATD viva exam.I am one of those few luckiest guys who got Reappear in Viva exam cos these are the most easiest exam to score. And after discussing with my fellow band members,i was even  more surprised to know that this is the aftereffect of that banging incident. And the irony was all other guys got passed in that exam and had reappear in some other theory examination which i cleared easily. From there on i never studied because the end result is not in your hands but in your viva exam group members hands.

i can also recall one more incident of our viva exam of Fluid dynamics or Automobile(I am not sure )but one of our class mates i.e. Mutthu uff 00618 did exceptionally well in that.He was asked as to how would you lubricate a motor engine.I don't know what was going through his mind.He said very innocently that " sir , We will open the engine and we will dip each and every part of the engine in oil and will assemble again". This sort of reply made professor in conundrum as to what he should say or do-laugh at himself or annoy at the student and the silence was broken when he said that " If you uttered any word,i will throw you out of the window" and mind you the floor was 5th.

These are the historic viva's we gave during our P.E.C. stint.

hey guys i will be back next time with my work life experiences in India's top two Automobile firms. One being the N0.1 automobile manufacturer and one being No. 1 car manufacturer.

Till then enjoy life to the fullest because 

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.

Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a 2nd chance,Grab it with ur both hands

If it changes ur life ,Let it be

Nobody said life would be easy,they just promised it would be worth it" 

Golden days @ P.E.C.

Welcome to the journey called life.

Whenever i watch Dil chahta hai +1 one more time  (have seen that movie 15 times and still the hunger is there to watch it again),It reminds me of the golden days which i spent in my engineering college.I can still recall the first day of my college when i reached my college 15 minutes earlier and was desperate to go into the room which was locked.2-3 students were standing outside waiting for door to open.i was forcefully given Production branch ( cos of my rank) and we a bunch of 30 production guys were asked to attend classes with Computer branch people.

After Recounselling which was slated to come,i opted for Mechanical branch which was supposed to be the evergreen branch but was not so green when we came to know that there are no girls in our branch.But that feeling went away very quickly when we had that Azaadi to do anything cos Girls would have spoiled that fun.(not that fun you are thinking of).I am talking of Bunking classes Fun which was not possible in other sections because girls were kinda scared of Bunking classes.

Then i met the Friends of my Lifetime.Ajay Arora(Roll no-00604),Avnish Gosain(R.n0 611),Aniket (R no 607),Mayur Garg(621),Navdeep singh popularly known as Osama for obvious reasons(623),Myself(625) and Vikash sharma(654).We were called the "Khadku" group which means a terrorist organisation and the leader was our very own Osama Paaji.

I can remember one instance when our section guys used to search photographs of the fellow students and we used to make a FATWA of that with the guy's pic and a long writing asking for that person Living or Dead.That was sheer fun.Bunks were so common that Professors used to say that this is the most craziest class they have ever seen.We had professors like Shingalshhhh,Ladoo and.......... can't make it public.

I can still recall one moment when one of our band member called his GF to his home and he bunked his classes.Somehow this thing leaked between our khadku group.Phir kya tha Bunk karke chal diye uske ghar.That guy was so frustrated cos he cudn't do anything dat day.(haan aap sahi samajh rahe ho).He had prepared for this day for so long and planned accordingly but gosh jiske aise dost hon uske dushmanon ki kya zaroorat hai :-P.

I can recall one moment when we went to Kufri and we planned to booze that night.We went to one hotel and we asked for drinks.Everybody had one peg and as we were about to finish ajay asked for more.We told him that its over for the day but ajay to phir ajay hai...we guys had a fight that day and we ended up packing one bottle to be finished in the hotel room.

During final year college project,We selected braking system and for that we forcefully took Ajay's scooter to experiment upon.Aniket,the most technical guy in our group showered in lots of suggestions to work upon but in the end we outsourced it and somehow it worked infront of professor.:-P

As i had my home nearby to the college,We used to bunk classes and watch movies at my home which were strictly .....(yup u r thinking in the right direction).We used to play cricket in Sector-15 infront of house.We guys had so much fun together,Pulling everybody's legs,making fun of each other but we know from the bottom of the heart that we are gonna miss everybody after the college is over.

I can still recall Mayur's Words which goes like this "Nikhilesh,After few years when we will be off from college,We will meet some day after 5-6 years in a restaurant when all 7 khadku group members will come in big cars,parking their cars and will meet with tears in our eyes".

"I AM STILL LOOKING FOR THAT MOMENT"

Right now Ajay is in Maruti,Aniket in Goldman sach's,Osama preparing for UPSC,Mayur doing his MBA in US,and Vikash in infosys after his MBA.

As i look back at where everybody is and what they are doing,i found that all are busy in their work but i am still hoping to meet all my Khadku group members one day with Tears in my eyes.

DESPERATELY WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT !!!

A beautiful Journey called LIFE

This is my first blog and it's around 2.30 in the night.I felt like writing it and share my beautiful journey called life.

On this occasion i would like to dedicate my writings to my Parents,who inspired me all through my difficult times,and my friends who are a great support to me.

i would like to say here that i might not be the brightest of the students , i might not be the intelligent of the lot but what what paid me all throughout my life till this moment is HARD WORK.

Theoretically i started my career from tenth standard but practically my career started after i did my Engineering from Punjab engineering college,Chandigarh,Popularly known as P.E.C.

I did mechanical engineering from P.E.C and it was fun to be in a strictly male dominant branch of engineering for obvious reasons.As we used to call " Why do girls have all the fun" and girls were usually a sign of bad omen for this branch.

Mass bunks were such common tools to keep ourselves away from classes and they were executed with such ease that we don't need consensus for that but a half hearted shout from any of the mechie will do the purpose.

Then i shifted my career from College to corporate culture and i was selected by Maruti as G.E.T and it was sheer fun for the first month and we were treated like "Ghar Jamai".Then it was more fun to handle 40 odd people after 8 months of training.Then shifted my career to Tata motors ater 2 yrs for obvious reasons :-).

Then after 2 years the real Journey begins when i was called to take one seat in a strong 261 seat batch.

I will guide you towards this journey in stages and will share my experiences while i was in engineering college.

Till then have a gr8 life and enjoy every moment of it !!!
