The past few weeks of dormancy could easily be mistaken for my hectic schedule at TATA motors. but i'd rather attribute it to....my chronic laziness....no pressure from my readers....and the fact that this organization is just too huge and un-happening to write anything about....but still four weeks is a long time....
the two training experiences this summer have literally been poles apart....
Now....to talk about the training period...would be really irksome...i'd only brag about the enormous plant....the state of art equipment et al......about the unKool Korporate Kulture.....about my first day when i was turned out.. not too courteously for wearing a T-shirt (the exact words from DK boss being"we want bloody engineers not bloody gundas").....about one shreya pandey who was my training companion...and boy how she helped me explore the place....thanks to her i didnt have to ask a question in the plant.....not coz i hate to pose problems....but coz the operators love answering to female('s) queries (...she surely deserved more space)........about the proverbial cliche...."line ruk jayegi".....and about the DKs, rajeevs, ajays and prashants who made it a living hell for the ashwinis,tathagats,jiveshs and joydeeps...while the sahus, harmeshs, avishkars and dheerajs usually managed to escape unscathed....and rajeshs, atuls and a whole army of trainees like me hung around uselessly....waiting for the morning tea....the afternoon lunch....and the 5 o clock siren.....
i've seen all this and lot more...i've learned enough (it really was one helluva experience)
and to top it all....i've put on 1.5 kgs of weight....
okay....the fact is that life's tough and everyone knows that...ofcourse you can do a thousand things to it(but too many options only make it worse)....like you can do what everyone does....you can take some nice job at some nice place....say tata motors....you get some nice money and some nice reputation....you're in to automobiles which is really nice.....
you work for 10 hrs (maybe more) a day....you cherish each reponsibility...you please your bosses...and make satisfactory progress.....
but you screw something and your boss goes mad.......you stand infront of your boss with your hands behind your butt...while your boss stands infront of you with his hands on his butt...
you vent it out on someone else (there's always a lesser dog) ....you tell yourself tis just another day...you start walking the line....you fuck your creativity....you move on...make more progress.....some of you wud complain...."I always wanted to quit on monday mornings"(that guy in the ad has to be a tata motors employee)....some of you just take it in your stride....and i dunno what happens next.....probably life moves on...you make it big....but there's always a boss above you.......
maybe this does not make no sense to nobody....perhaps tis post doesnt either....or the entire blog for that matter...
its been a long summer...back at college its gonna be ...more fun...more feasts....more football....and hopefully no F-grades......
