First things best things!

Day one, Bangalore! A new city, new beginning, new faces and a a lot of never before stuff. The big day was finally here. A Wednesday reporting at 8:30 sharp in the morning and I was off my marks as early as I could with my Sister-in-law. Drove a little over half an hour and reached the destination. Lot of best wishes meant a lucky day for me. I walked into the basement at the venue given, went on to the security desk to validate my joining and get a temporary ID. Moved in with a group of 139 other fresh faces as me into the basement of the complex where we were supposed to have our induction program. The day started off with an introduction by a member of "Team Discover"  (Sunita Mam), trust me she just talked us through the day effortlessly. After an hour and half we had a tea break and when we came back, members of EHS team was waiting for us and straightaway they gave an order of few documents and stuff we need to submit and then started one of the never before stuff "The signature marathon". It never seemed to end, once it started. The pages kept on turning and we kept on scribbling signatures for almost 2 hours or so. 83 of them, to be precise. The usual lunch with free meal passes was not much to talk about though what followed lunch was going to take a lot of effort to keep our eyes opened. The much needed break from such strong sleeping drive was given by the security tips and other related issues that are ear-marked as "Important". The day kept on going till 7 in the evening at a slow pace and then the bankers came in to introduce themselves and open our salary accounts. Time flew in their instructions to fill the form and put a few more signatures here and there. We got the welcome kits and some stationary from the EHS team. and the day finally came to an end with a trip back home on a bus directly to a place very close to my brother's home. I know it is not detailed but 'first things are best things' not in these words but the memories they invoke when I read them are important and special!

Happy New Year : Review!

Movie : Happy New Year Release Date : 24 October 2014 Starring : Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jacky Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani Directed By : Farah Khan Music : Vishal-Shekhar (With Vishal in a special appearance in the movie) Lyricist : Irshad Kamil A typical Farah khan full length film with duration of a little over 179 minutes. The movie is star studded and I would say a very fitting act put together by all of them. Shah Rukh Khan will shine you out with his appearance and style, he is looking as fit and muscular ( more than ever before). Deepika looks fabulously gorgeous in the traditional outfit she wears when she meets the "Charlie's Angels" (Charlie-> Shah Rukh Khan). the movie is built on a very familiar English word "Vengeance". The plot is not a complex one to figure out. The roles were very well worn and torn by the cast. The typical Shah Rukh Khan stamp with extreme delicate emotional expression with perfect s...

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

On My Way To Life

So there it goes, the title of my first fictional writing. Am not sure about people liking it but I am writing it for my own sake and need to put on paper the way I think and to see if I could convince people that I could write stuff. I hope you like this story that I have titled as "On My Way to Life". A story of a boy "Nihar" as I mentioned in my past posts in the blog. Nihar is on a journey called life, as simple as that as all of us are. Whilst on journey he meets many people and many manage to make it to his personal space, only few through the door of his heart. The story about how he settles in for a girl, a girl not so like him Anvita. So a journey of ups and downs it is. I put together the words into a bunch to express enough give an impression of facing the story in front of you. You may feel it or not, I wish you do. I hope my words could manage that at least. Hope you enjoy reading and will try my utter best to be updated on the blog and keep posting re...
