Hello Everyone....
What better way to start another year than seeing the Indians trounce Paki's off the cricketing trough marking the arrival of young generation of cricketers and this might as well signal the end of 10 K players (Sachi,Drav,Gangu). Phew!!!Nothing better....
No matter what path one has taken ultimately we have all landed up in SDC (excepting two) and everyone is in some or other project. Of all the things that we have gone through Mr.Hirani's episode stands out the best. "The world is like a mirror.." so he began and we knew right then there was an extremist at our end speaking for the voiceless, fighting for justice, defying authority, giving a damn about the consequences or in simpler terms a nut crack who couldn't hold his mouth little longer only to see himself kicked outside :D . A great entertainer nonetheless. I admit initially I thought the first phase of training is just waste of time. I mean what the heck have I done knowing SE, C,Data Structures - binary sort , heap sort, dung sort,this sort that sort...Computer Organization etc. Note: I don't mean to offend those who loved these and topped them.
I feel the same even now but I guess in some ways having such training bridged the gap between transition from the college days to corporate crap. The ppts gave us a chance to engage the class even more.It just has all the right ingredients. Begging to let the teacher stop and give lot of breaks, playing pinball, listening to music, sweating for the exam, copying , worrying about the LOC's (aint mattered at all) and thinking about exit panel, celebrating birthdays, forming our own coterie, dumb charades, antakshari , on and on it went. To top it all came the group activities and sadly of all the three times I was part of the groups we were beaten by much better teams. Man, what an experience that was.
It just brought out the hidden talents in some of us , I mean Ranjit can as well walk into studio for the next film shoot, Doc Goveas can take seating next to Harsha Bogle, Hrithik (Roshan) leading the laughter challenge III /IV ( I don't know...), Joy's singing capability.
What followed next was a cruel joke on us about a mystery project and the urgent requirement to see us getting into Royal Bench getting something close to a training under Raghvendra. After a month and half or so of orkutting, surfing net, watching movies, group by group started branching out leaving some of us happy and some of us tensed.
Feelings of anger, frustration, neglect, inferiority complex, something similar to how we felt seeing our fellow college mates getting recruited and you waiting for your turn to happen swept over us. I surely did. But remember:
- Matrix
3 from Hrithik( 2 birthdays, 1 Laptop) 3 from Joy ('S' Rating, IDMF, Laptop)
2 from Deepti, Bhavya,Amit,Gnana ('S' Rating, Project)
1 from Ms.Ponnan ( 4 month into the marriage and still going... ain't no easy task at times of infidelity and divorces...)
2 from Ganesh (MCAD Certificatoin, Project)
2 from Suhas (his trip, Project) (GROUP Parties...)
1 each from IDMF Team
1 each from DRM Team 1 each from Pre-sales department 1 from the rest whosoever is left over...
Well that's all folks, let's not fight now about who wants to give first. Everybody will get their chance and let's discuss this in civilized manner :D . We will have some moderators who can decide the time,venue and place. On a lighter note, it is been a great joy being part of batch of 588 and getting to know such diversified people and mindset. I feel no other field would offer a wide variety of candidates from different parts of the country, so every time someone goes off to his place we get to eat their local varieties and experience different palette altogether.
Wish you all a great success going forward ... Projects come projects go but what remains are the beautiful memories and this batch has provided a lot.
