FIRST WEEK OF TRAINING ...

TRAINING AT UVW

Day 1…All set for another new experience… INDUSTRIAL n all … Seems to be fun … At least from the outside…

All ready at 9 am… Awaiting the call… Waiting to know the reporting place…And the lady calls at 1015 am

Me: Hello
Lady: Hi. Mr. XYZ is out of the station, I am trying to contact him and will let you know about the place most definitely by 1 pm..
Me: Yes Mam. Thank you.

Ok… cool… Chill… No work in the Morning…So I started reading a book … DECEPTION POINT…

A couple of hours into the book…. Interesting…I don’t want to go today for intern…As soon as the thought comes into my mind… The phone rings …L

Me: Hello
Lady: Hi. Just got off the phone with Mr. XYZ. He said that you can take a day off.
Me: Ok. But IIT wants us to join in from 12th May
Lady: We will still mention the date of joining as May 12. Is that ok
Me: Yes. That will be good.

Kiddin’ me … that’s the best thing:-D

Now, time for Dan Brown…J


Day 2:
Get a mail from the Lady … Report at Sarai Kale Khan … 9:30 am sharp
Alrite…I will be there

Meet the Sr. Gen. Mgr. Of the company… The mail read

9:30am : I have arrived

Now have to wait for the other guy to reach …comes the usual 15 mins late

Ok … So whr is the mgr ??? Should be here shortly says the receptionist … Please wait outside.

A couple of hours go by …then the receptionist comes out… “aap log chill maaro… saab kal aayenge… kal subah 10 baje aana”

Cool … another day .. Home… and Dan Brown is out again… becoming so very interesting


Day 3 :

Reach the trng at exactly 10 am.. Find my co-internee waiting !!!
The weather is good … pleasant .. maybe some rain round the corner…
.
.
A rain-storm is brewing… winds gushing past the office… Its bcmng increasingly dangerous in here …

The rain falling…getting heavier every second… we are trapped inside… feels like a hurricane or smthng out there …

After a few hours of waiting … rain finally stops… and …guess what … mangr nt cmng today as well … so another day to chill-out… J


Day 4:

Finally … we meet up with Mr. AS and he sends us to Sector 94 – Noida….
Says Leave now – reach there by 2 pm

Now… on way…we hit the Greater Noida Expressway… What a road…. Esp for a person who loves to drive … PARADISE, I must say… Boards fly by on the side

Sector 92 … sector 93 …sector 93 A…. we are getting close … J
Then… next board …sector 105… next one …sector 97…. Something isn’t right …
Newaz… we continue to drive on the paradise… zooming at 150 + J

After 15 mins… we enter GREATER NOIDA .. clearly … we have come wrong :-P

Now… Turn around…head back ….

See a police car at a distance … so we stop and ask him..

Me : Bhaiya, yeh sector 94 kahan padega ??

Police : Kunsa ????

Me: 94 ..94… chauranve…

Police : chiyaanve ???

Me : nahi nahi … chauranve …..94

Police : Chauranve… yahaan se ulti taraf .. yeh saamne purra hi chauranve hai … ulte-haath ghoom jaon …

Me : achcha … yahaan se udhar ghoomne ki turn kahan hogi ??

Police : yahaan se ulte haath ko ghoom jaon aur aage sadhak ulti ghoomegi ….

Me (puzzled … to take a U-turn … go left …. What’s goin on ???? ;-P ) : thik hai … dhanyvaad

But … as it turned out… the police guy was wrong… there were no turns ..

And .. just as we reached back to where we started…. We saw it /… Sector 94 !!!! and GIL written everywhere…. After driving for 60 kms ….

Newaz …. Finally … we made it … But the concerned person was not there…
His deputy gave us a set of 120+ drawings … told us to go thru them….they were of the various parts used to make the entire metro bridge …
So, we pretended to be studying them…. Our speed was incredible … we were through in about 30 minutes J

And then … we were off again…. Another BUSY day at work !!! ;-P

DAY 5 :
Finally…. The last day of the first week was here !!! It had been tuff…pretty busy … ;-P

Also, deception point was just awesome … and The Client was also becoming interesting… Decided to take The Client with me to work … And Boy-oh-boy… it was one of my better decisions !!!!

The plant manager was not there today as well … was running a bit late … deputy asked us to wait … and YES .. I struck gold… the book was out in no time J


Hours passed by … but there were no signs of the manager … finally at about 3 pm, the deputy asked us to put on our helmets and take a walk… look around the facility….His timing could not have been worse …. Firstly … the book … the thought of closing it was heart-braking.. Secondly.. the temperatures outside were soaring … 43 degree Celsius !!

But … we had to go anyway … had to show something in the weekly report… so we went on a round … and were back in 20 minutes…
The deputy almost yelled … and took us out again !!! ;-P

He personally explained everything … and took about an hour or so …
But finally our ordeal came to an end !!!

THE FIRST WEEK WAS FINALLY OVERRRRRRRRR ...PHEWWWWWW !!!…..very busy & tiring … ;-)

First Day at IIT DELHI

Yet another young boy steps into this great institution with great things in mind… high expectations…both from himself as well as the institute…hardly does he know what’s in store... ;-P
IIT: Indian Institute of Technology…One of the most prestigious colleges in the country…People work day in & out just to get into it … thinking life will be relatively simple afterwards … hardly knowing what awaits them …
First day… sees a professor… with eyes full of excitement… ready to gain something …

Computers CSL 102 lecture class… 8:00 am
Prof ( Smart, young guy with a nice accent comes in) :Good Morning Class… My name is SP… I will be taking your comp science course CSL 102… We will be learning SML…Now, I have some important work today, so this class will be re-scheduled later… See u all on Monday.. Bye … take care… n god bless

Students...Cheerful… happy that first class is over so quickly … today will be a good day to have fun ! Collectively, all head to WIND T… the most popular place on IIT Delhi Campus… )

Chemistry CYL 110 lecture class… 9:30 am

Prof (very young...) : Good Morning class...
Students ( in unison) : Good Morning Sir
Prof : Ahhh... I am here to take your course CYL 110 ... Ahhh... Its about Physical Chemistry ... My name is SD and I, along with Ms. CC will be taking this course..She is your course coordinator...My room no. is MS 777, so if you have any doubts... please feel free me to come to my room.... hmmmm... or better still.... write a mail to sd@chem.iitd.ac.in and I will get back to you... Is it clear ??

Students (A bit surprised by the intro) : YES SIR

Prof: OK, now I think all of you know about the Boyle’s law… As you all have studied P is directly proportional to V

(Students whisper… A sudden chaos … All we studied … all the basics were wrong…IIT is great…Now we will get to know the actual thing…)

Prof ( puzzled due to the whispering, looks back at the board ): Oh… SORRY SORRY… See…Its my first lecture today… it is a silly mistake… its P is inversely proportional to V

Students ( trying to control their laughter…) : Its OK Sir… ;-P…We understand… Please Continue…

Prof ( Still nervous….managing a wry smile..) : So, today we will cover all these basic laws like Boyles, Charles and all …
.

Time 11:05 am

Students : Sir … Class is till 10:55 am… Can we please leave …

Prof ( In a little angry tone) : Don’t try to trick me coz its my first day here… It’s a 2 hour class.. I know THAT for sure ..

But as usual, he was wrong… the next professor came in and said … Sir, the slot is of one and a half hours only ;-) :-)

This we thought was a one-off incident … But we were so badly mistaken !!!
That’s how it went…Kind of funny… Soon this became all too normal…Students becoming inert to all these, once hilarous things... The great excitement in their eyes was soon about to be replaced by TENSION, FRUSTRATION, DEPRESSION, BOREDOM, DULLNESS etc etc :-(


Newaz.... More about that later :-)
