5th anniversary.. wish i could make it GRAND!!!
5th anniversary of what, you might ask.. well, it is of earning... earning and learning while earning.. learning survival from the best teacher of all.. LIFE!
Lemme try to recall the individual events that captured my attention all these years.. and the stuff that happened, without names that is!!! ;)
YEAR 1 --> 2002-03
1) Joined a company in Mysore as a Data Entry Operator.. my final year B'Com exams were still going on.... salary offered was a princely sum of 1800/- and working hours were 9AM to 12AM.. (3 brks included... one for lunch @ 1 PM, 1 for tea @ 5 PM and 1 for dinner @ 9 PM)
2) Got a call from Bangalore the day i was about to collect my marks card calling me for an interview.. it was a Wednesday! Left to Bangalore on friday to attend the interview on Sunday, joined on Monday.. first attempt on wearing a tie and had a wonderful 1 1/2 hour drive all the way to Electronics City.. I can still go through the feeling of awe and surprise of travelling such a long distance to office and the amazing campus/bldgs
3) My first blackmark.. going to meet a friend in the campus while i was in training without informing anyone... and got a nice feedback!
4) My second blackmark... asking my manager a silly doubt coz i did not approach my TL and had approached my manager directly! My Quality scores got screwed forever just for this mistake! :(
5) My first sight of a girl smoking.... she looked HOT just coz she had a ciggi in her hand... I can still recall her face and her attire that day.. a pink t-shirt with a Tight Jeans pant.. (this was in Kormangala, B'lore!)
6) My first visit to a bar and first taste of beer..... and my innocence lost when I asked my DM if it had to be drunk "raw"! ;) So silly of me! My friends still tease me with that!
YEAR 2 --> 2003-04
1) Shuttling b/n Mysore and Bangalore.. walking home in Mysore during the dead of the night.. and actually enjoying the silent thrills during the 4 km long walk! :)
2) LOWS and HIGHS.... stayed alone in Bangalore... fought against moving in with a relative.. but was forced to...
3) Achieving the impossible... getting parents over to Bangalore.. but that was a very costly error and had to be paid with the life of my dad!
4) My first team.. my first training assignment.. was amazing to handle a team and handle all their requirements along with taking responsibility for their actions.
YEAR 3 -> 2004-05
1) Someone admitted that she had a crush on me for the first time.. and my first kiss! (during the second year of my career!)
2) My first intercourse..... I did love her but she ditched me badly by moving with a rival! (oops... had actually made a typo here.. by typing as fist intercourse... that has happened many times!) ;)
3) LOWS and DEPTHS... I dunno how many times I felt psychotic.. felt like running away from everything.. but did not do that.... but learnt something invaluable.. silence is golden.. but speech is something priceless.. speak out, but with yourself.. give a vent to your emotions through your words.. and keep your communications only with inanimate objects and the nature ofcourse!
4) My visit to a psycho counsellor
5) Cervical Disc Prolapse... more than 4 weeks spent in Hospital with a traction of 7 kgs
6) Fought with my manager and my first change or project - was for the better.. was able to work for one of the premium IT companies!
7) My experience working under the best TLs and worst managers! -- this showed me how to be a thorough professional.. but again... if i try to put myself in their shoes, they were right in some sense.. the problem was in communication!
8) Made some invaluable frenz... (was fedup of being a loner!)
9) Started blogging
10) Fell in love .... still am unable to get out! ;) (Gud or bad.. i dunno.. i am unable to decide!) ;)
11) Dad passes away... Got more responsibility and became both bad and good in the eyes of my sister
To be continued..........
