Life is a book

Its been almost 2 years since I have been part of the group of "Employee" stepped from the sneakers of "Student". Seems like a long time ago since I have been part of this group. Life was much more spontaneous and fun filled with no state of complete awareness of plans after an hour in the day. Simply put, things have changed. For good or bad I am now accustomed to a routine of walking in and out of office with decreasing the fun by a bit everyday I do so. Times have been difficult to cope with, broke down a few times but as they say "Time heals all", I was able to get back in shape though each time a little lesser than before. All the high stake passions have settled into a well laid out blanket of dust all around my days now. I walk out each morning watching children play, I keep thinking when did I change into this office going routinely boring guy? Perhaps I was asleep when I was being pushed by life into this mold and just woke up to realize that its...

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...

3rd flight of my 23 summers, was a special one. Though not the first one but got my heart beat racing to higher 200s. When I was en route to board my first flight I had already gone though a lot of first flight instructions and experiences shared by others. But nothing works there, up the sky, 1000s of miles above the world. All you see is a constant company of clouds looking like frozen sea. The thrill of window seats keeps your eyes wide open during the takeoff which some described as one of the most difficult time of journey in flight experience after landing. You feel a sudden thrust take the plane forward. Before you could feel the thrust pushing you into your seat you start feeling weightless. Your brain sends out signals of being something you have never been like before, to the whole body. Right that instant the rush you feel is in-descibable by words. Excitement at its peaks for the first time flyers. Anyhow the uptake and slant flight keeps you dug into your seats. No matter...

November 7 2014, The day I was put into something much more responsible than I have ever felt, deployed! Directly into project. No pre training no assessment, no instruction spell. Just like a snap of fingers, SNAP and poof! Within the last 10 days I had already traveled from 3 three major cities in IT industry,Hyderabad to start and then Banglore (now Bengaluru) for reporting and for the final touch NOIDA (the farthest campus I could possibly be relocated to)in the extreme north, though we were again sent to another sector within NOIDA, anyway I reported on a Friday (Faad Friday) to sector 126 HCLT campus. Out of 4 of the options I was in, I got in voluntarily to work with the team I saw in front of me just a few minutes ago.3 members came from the team to meet me and I found them friendly. And like everything else in HCL project assignation also happened in nick of a time. Since then, till today I have occupied a seat among the team with a very warm welcome into their fa...

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 ...

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...
