THE RETURN OF THE LYRICAL GANGSTA:

Guess who's back..back again...yup you guessed it right...its Metallica,with a new album...wooohoo!!!!! Since my metal idols have released their new album with a bang i thought maybe its my time to come back with a bang.....in the field of blogging that is.Lets hope i still got the skill to thrill with my telephone bill and i know ya want ta kill (ME) coz...this line was really lame heheheh..


Getting serious now......I feel i made one of the biggest mistakes of my life by not blogging earlier on.The past 1 year for me has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.I have endured so much,learnt so much,comtemplated so much and so much more,I suppose I would have written a novel by now keeping the past year in mind.

The highlight of the past whole year for me has been.....drum roll pls...drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrrdrdrdrr dhish...."COMPANY-X”
COMPANY-X -- The TAJMAHAL,THE PLAYBOYMANSION AND THE LORDS STADIUM OF THE IT WORLD. The company where dreams come true...the institution that provides every aspiring IT enthusiast a sure shot ticket to stardom and beyond.I have had the privilege of being trained at COMPANY-X for 6 months and now working for COMPANY-X as a proud employee(Hey they are paying me money man....maine is company ka namak khaya hai lol).

For me COMPANY-X has been a journey of self-discovery......more like self-destruction. You know the feeling of being out of place or being in a place where u really don’t belong and yet you have to be there due to certain forced upon/external factors that you cannot compromise with,simply because you possess certain virtues and values that disallow you to think otherwise.Well thats been my story....the thing that I had despised the most ended up being the thing I had to love with intense passion and dedication.....THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST FEELINGS IN THE WOLRD...LET ME REITERATE...THIS IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE WORST FEELINGS IN THE WORLD...Just think about it....its like SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY lol.....okay i have not seen that movie so i cannot assume any comical references to that lol.

There are 2 facets of my COMPANY-X experience that i would like to exhibit in my blog.One is the Academic torture and the other is the Emotional torture....choose your destiny,but as they say BEGGARS CANT BE CHOOSERS and in my case,i was that beggar who couldnt be given the honorable option to CHOOSE!!! All i got, was to CHOOSE(the hindi word) hehehhe i think the hindi knowing public got my drift lol.

Academically speaking,COMPANY-X training is one of the most mind fucking,frustating,intense piece of mental drilling ever seen on the face of this earth.You are academically embraced with lectures of dull and surprisingly diffident teachers (no doubt, some of them were excellent but "SOME" na....) and you are "pampered" with weekly tests that have the following liberties attached to them:
1.Negative Marking
2.Time Limits
3.One must score a minimum of DOT 65% in order to pass the test....The reason i exclaim the DOT is because even 64.99999999999% means that YOU HAVE FAILED!!!!!!....Na re baba,COMPANY-X isnt so heartless (YET), they give you chances to prove your worth in the form of retests...and oh yes! if u have failed 4 tests along with their respective retests then you are fired from the company...its somewhat like...STRIKE 1...STRIKE 2...STRIKE 3....STRIKE 4......YOUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!...and maybe when some big shot HR is drunk,he/she migh just address u like DARTH VADER and say in a constipated low voice.. "YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME.....YOUNG COMPANY-XIAN!!!" and show you the door (yeah the doors are pretty fancy at COMPANY-X...along with all the architecture and infrastructure that is visible to the naked eye).

The line that best describes my own personal situation with respect to the COMPANY-X training which i am sure many of my other mates can agree upon was that ... COMPANY-X TRAINING WAS A STRUGGLE FOR SHEER SURVIVAL AND NOT EXCELLENCE!!!.....In the end,out of 120,around 80 folks only remained from our batch....(I am not sure about the statistics but u can well imagine the feeling of those mortals that were thrown out of COMPANY-X....the best part is that most of those that failed to clear the training were one of the most brightest students of their respective colleges and were very dedicated aswell).
On the other side there were some Einsteins that would rarely study and practically ace every test thrown at them.Kind of confusing right? You wonder whether the rest of the people struggling to pass were dumbfucks or whether those that passed effortlessly were highly gifted or maybe all of it was just plain old LUCK or maybe a combination of all the 3 lol....but one thing i can assure that MAJORITY of the people had to slog their asses off to survive it....if TV Channels are running out of REALITY SHOW ideas then just kindly make one on the training at COMPANY-X..you will surely be able to capture the genuine emotions of the students...from the euphoric moments of passing the tests and hugging everyone in sight to the extremely morose and gloomy moments of failure and not to forget the unadulterated MASTI that was a part of the lectures and social life that everyone will never forget till their last day on this planet.Oh and dont worry there will be plenty of bitching as well heheheh..thankfully i was not subjected to it first hand.

I am sure by now a negative impression of COMPANY-X has been successfully projected by me....MUHUHAHAHAHA! YAY I WIN!!!!!!!! LOL... No no,how can i be so inhuman.Let me also highlight some of the positive aspects of COMPANY-X.You see at COMPANY-X,they believe in a certain thing called "VALUES"....most probably the values one gives to the static variables whilst coding lol.Talking about Values....Customer satisfaction is COMPANY-X 's primary concern without which all of their efforts are in vain.....my only query is,WHAT THE HELL ABOUT THE INTERAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION....Yes u read it right...The internal customers are the lot of disgruntled employees that are earning their daily bread by working their assess off at COMPANY-X .Most of the internal employees have standard complains like that of lack of growth in the company(professional growth/role changes),Salary appraisals,Need for Interesting/Challenging work ,Transfers to COMPANY-X DCs which are near their homes etc. and the response by the HRs to most of these complains are " XYZ issue is against COMPANY RULES AND POLICY..SO WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT" or a little more optimistic "We will look it and get back to you soon (Yeah by the time Himesh Reshamya starts singing DEATH METAL...that day will surely come).

But wait,Did i forget to mention about how much COMPANY-X loves its employees and wants to pamper them with modern recreational facilities like Theatres,Swimming pools,Sports facilities,Gyms so on and so forth.These are without a doubt world class facilities that are provided...i gotta hand it to them (genuinely)....BUT... They give us all the facilities BUT make us occupied day and night with some thing or the other...HOW THE HELL DO WE MAKE TIME FOR THESE DIVINE FACILITIES??? Time Management maybe the answer.....sure y not....lol

If this is not enough, COMPANY-X also provides world class,multi-cuisine and extremely hygienic food courts in every DC.I could write a lengthy synopsis of the food courts at COMPANY-X but i would rather just humbly say " COMPANY-X MEIN KHAO...KHUD JAAN JAO" heheheh. (I know i have been severely affected by this sensitive topic therefore to surprise my readers i will not rip apart Company-X on this matter lol...UNBELIEVABLE...BELIEVE IT lol)

As you might have clearly interpreted that i love COMPANY-X deeply... COMPANY-X gave me,a mere Mortal, the chance to discover many things...what those things are i am still trying to discover lol.
To be continued….
