First 2 Months in Mumbai ( TCS )

When we came to Mumbai..nothing was there what
we expected. Dirty roads, shaggy homes and people
with no concern for others.

First day of office was same as ILP where TCS
tried to show how employee friendly it is..but FAILED.

In my interview for Project i conveyed my unwillingness
to work in Mumbai..... but got all adverse remarks from
senior management.

To my ill fate i got project for such a client where there
is 24x7 work, no weekends and no development. Only
thing to do is to read thousands of mail a day and attend
phone calls.

There is no release so life getting dificult for me in Mumbai.

Durga Puja and Diwali came and went... without giving
any happiness to mind and soul !!!

Last Day in TCS ILP....

TCS Initial Learning Programme (ILP)
got over today. Within days i will be in
MUMBAI.

----------------------------------------
Among many happy moments to cherish
the day ended with shocking news of
some people being sent for re-training
in Trivandrum !!

No words to describe the moment .
-----------------------------------------

Though in this ILP i felt very let down
by TCS , I made many friends here...
and hope they remain my friend !!

-----------------------------------------
wish i could go back kolkata today....
feeling very bad about it !!!

-----------------------------------------
Best of luck to all my TCS batchmates in
Chennai, Pune and Mumbai !!

Got Base Branch in TCS Mumbai

Today i Got my Base Branch... TCS.

I big Personal Loss for me.. and
may be a Professional gain.......

But i feel like totally HELPLESS and useless today..

Just don't know what to Do.....

May GOD help my situation !!!

My Sister got Admission BIT Mesra

Today My Sister took part in counselling for B Arch Course
through AIEEE. She Got Admission in the choice of her college...

from where i have done my MCA.

Everyone must be quite glad with her efforts.

TCS ILP - I Joined TCS

Yesterday I reached a deserted location in Greater Noida
to begin my professional career in TCS. It was a initial training
of TCS in Training Centre, Knowledge Park 3, greater Noida.

This looks to be a difficult place to spend 2.5 months.

I got mail to join TCS

On 21st June i went to college and
sat on Net just to check my mails.

To My surprise :
New mail : Welcome to TCS...
join TCS ILP on 2nd July !!!

2nd July ..i was shocked..I was
expecting it in Aug and i was very
relaxed.

I was not at all prepared to leave Kolkata
and there were very unwrapped work left..
college..friends..luggage...

I had to suddenly leave everything,
..Everybody

I went back to Jamshedpur..to do all
complex paper work ( Of TCS).

I will catch a flight from kolkata to
Delhi..on 1st july.

Last 2 days i was in kolkata...one of the
Most DIFFICULT DAYS of my LIFE.

Just did not wanted to face anybody!!!

Our Last Day in BIT (MCA)

We Had our Final semester Presentation

India and abroad.

A very sad Day...Spent very happily !!!

Best of Luck for every Body.

I Got a JOB (Placed in TCS)

-

Yesterday I had given interview for placements in TCS.
After a long awaitful night, I got the news of my LIFE.
All those of us who had qualified thier technical rounds
and had given THE PERSONAL INTERVIEW were waiting
inside CAT premises (BIT Mesra).

Few minutes later Mr. B B Pant(Placement Incharge) started
to announce the results. Me and Abhishek Khanna(BIT Jaipur)
had given our interviews simultaneously and our sleeping beds
were adjacent. We woke up all night !!

The names started ...., ... ,Abhishek Khanna, Abhishek Kumar,... !
And we both became highly juviliant. After confirming my results ...
I was a much relaxed man. Shailesh and Pragya were there to
congratulate me. I rushed to my hostel room and announced my
success. I was the first one to be placed from BIT Mesra, Kolkata Ext.

Now i was a memeber of Tata Consultancy Private Ltd.
Soon in coming weeks almost all my friends got placed in Accenture,
IBM, wipro, Flextronicss and Zensar .

My Life changed altogether today. I called up all my friends, family
and close ones to express my joy.

There were friends who always supported me when i was very (very)
tensed while i was preparing for my placements. I did not told my
parents that my placements have started! I just told them afterwards
that "I got the JOB".

TG sir (BIT kolkata) was always there to support me.
Before TCS placements process I sat for Microsoft and Oracle.

Microsoft written was good but i could not clear it.

Oracle written was easily cleared but i was not expecting it. I was
loitering near the CAT unshaven when Pant sir announced the
names to face the interview..and the first name he called out was
.. ABHISHEK KUMAR. I was stunned ! I rushed back to my hostel
room half KM away from CAT..shaved, dressed and ran back...
I was late. In a tensed mood i entered the room for the Technichal-
Interview.... and it was a disaster !

Two days after this TCS came .
Rest is Story.

Great Days of My Life (10+1)

-
We (School Friends) all took Admission in the same
school(NHES, Jamshedpur) and we were the First
batch ISC from our school (1999-2000). We were
the senior-most and most looked upto students in
school and we used to take full priviledge of that in
bunking our classes and having fun.

We were always keen on taking responsibilty of the
extra-curricular activities just to avoid boring Bio &
chemestry classes. With Neela Ma'm math classes
were fun and to add taste we had our own :
SHAIWAL SRIVASTAVA.

Shaiwal was a student from DBMS (10th) and could
only secure science admissions in our school. He was
the last face that any teacher wanted to see.
'Antilog Tan Inverse 7 ' and ' Potassium ketocynide ' were
his permanent answers to all questions in maths and
Chemestry.... And he never bunked classes just to
harass the teachers. Now he is a Lieutenant in Indian
Armed Forces !!

I remained busy as "Bhatakti Aatma" in both the sections
while Awanish and Binay were right up to thier Job.
Amar never used to go to school in complete Uniform.
Ashish remained busy with us or with his Scooter, also
he had some " Side-Views ". There were some GR8
IIT Aspirants in our class such as Pritam Chaki, Amit
Ghosh, Deb Kumar and Nilabh Verma(& Rajeev).
Somnath and Gurjot were the Music Lovers/Artists !
Tamaal Chatterjee was the GR8 Lover (Vishal too) .

The Other section had damsel Ladies and the Casinova
Bhatia (Gurpreet).Misbah and Varun added some hard
flavour! Gurusharan Singh was the Rich Devil Sardar.

Study was the last thing to think !!! All of us easily got
Promoted to 10+2. Then Studies started to take its toll.
That year I read almost half the novels of our Library.

1998 Batch - I.C.S.E.

-
Our great GANG appeared for the board exams (I.C.S.E.)
in the year 1998 . But months before that we got TC from
our school for misbehaving and destroying school property.

It was the last official day in NHES (but it was not) and our
gang celebrated with complete party with songs and cakes
and lots of hoodlums !!!!! By Evening we had destroyed all
the furniture of our class room. We were all great WWE fan.

Within Our we got TC. We had not given our Pre-Boards.
But the great Awanish and kawaldeep saved the day for us.

We gave our exams in the most careless ways ! By now Me,
Awanish, Binay, Aashish and Amarpreet had become great
friends along with Smriti and Anita. Awanish had a crush on
Anita and there secret stories to that.

Awanish, Aashish and myself lived in Adityapur while Binay
and Amar at South Park. We regularily used to hang out at
Binays place as he had is personal room !!

I got very attached with Binay's Family as they were very
caring and they were many.They lived in the simplest of ways
.. and Binay was a great fun to be with. He was very Bindaas
.. while Awanish was always confused !!! Amar was a Surd
while Aashish was very homely.
Smriti and Anita lived in Bistupur( L road, R road).

By the time we appeared for our exams our school announced
to 10+2 classes to commence. After exams when we could not
secure admission in any good school we all took admission in
NHES (+2). Balwinder got commerce in RV.

Results were satisfactory for most of us as we did not studied.
My father so happy with results that gave sweets to all families
in my colony.

The great GANG was now again in NHES.. and senior most!

My Secondary classes – NHES Jamshedpur

Our school was now a good school in Jamshedpur and
there were a couple batches which passed their I.C.S.E.
from our school successfully. The intake of students in
our school increased. There were students from all around
Jamshedpur. They were good, bad and ugly … all kinds!

I made various friends in my high school. Some just got LOST
while some became life-long friends. To name a few friends :

Abhijeet, Sanjeet kr, Ranveer, Amit, Balwinder Singh,
Neha Pareekh, Puja sharan, Sandhya, Awanish Singh,
Binay Kr, Aashish Dubey, Amarpreet Singh, Smriti Sharma,
Jeetesh, Sutej, Sumit Das, Gurpreet Bhatia, Anita Nagelia,
kawaldeep Singh, Abhishek Mishra, Vijay, Samreen shaad etc.

We all made a great GANG !

In coming years some of us became very close friends ...
and our teachers' greatest nightmare.

My Primary classes – NHES Jamshedpur

-
In my early academic year the school was brand new
and we enjoyed our life too much there. There were
Dance classes, Singing and Recitation periods, PT, and
sports and of course some studies. We had good teachers
in our primary classes such as Mrs. Uma Ganesh (’88, ’90),
Miss. Sonia Talwar, Miss Sharmila and Miss. Punam etc.

Our Principal (then) Mr. R. C. D’Cousa was a very good
administrator. Every month he held a Parent-Teacher
Meeting and studies were very interactive. Once I stood
3rd in std II and got prize from our Principal.

By the time our Principal left the school we were on the verge
of getting ICSCE affiliation. He expired a few years back.
Mrs. Uma Ganesh still(2006) teaches in some schools of
Jamshedpur.

Some of my early friends were Md. Surfraaz, Kailash, Bhavya,
Sanjeev Kr, Prashant Jiya, Amit Jiya, A Rakesh etc.
We used to be very naughty at times. We regularly played the
Hitting game with rubber-band and paper pieces.

Surfraaz left our school later. Prashant is now (2006) in
Jewellery business in Jamshedpur.
Sanjeev is doing MCA in JSR (2006).

I don’t remember much about my life in early 90’s.

My Early days in Jamshedpur

.
Part I

My early days in Jamshedpur was very adventuruos.
First we used stay in "out-house" of my Fufa Ji's residence
in Adityapur. It was a one room house ! My dad had a bi-cycle
and i used go marketing with him. I still remeber the day
when we came together from market with a big prawn.

My dad was a great foodie then and we used enjoy good food
eventhough we had a very small income.
In few years we shifted to LIC Colony (Pan Dukan,Adityapur).
I had lots of bengali friends there but few were junior than me.

There was one "Daadu"(old man) in the colony who usually
took few of us to beautiful site seeing near the river "kharkai"
and the railway tracks.We used to collect a lots of useful
herbs (Jari-booti). Now nothing isleft there..
all ahve become buildings and slag wastes ! !

Electricity (DVC Supply) was a major problem in Adityapur.
It being an indutrial area, domestic use was very minimal...
so we used kerosene lamps and batteries for our daily duties.

Part II

I got many toys in my child-hood..but the most importantwas my
Tri-Cycle, which i used as multi-utility Toy.

My Tri-Cycle was my play , my work and my desire. I used to go
around on it all thru my home and colony. I even went to market
to buy kerosene and vegetables on my Tri-Cycle.
Ialso used it as "Ice-cream" vending machine.

Each summer vacation i used to go to my gradparents in
Bhagalpur and had lots of great food with my "Naani".
I didn't much liked my fathers' family so chose to remain
with my maamas (maternal Uncles).
Four of my mama stays inBhagalpur. The eldest one runs my
"Naana's Kirana shop",one is mentallychallenged while
2 other are working in Govt undertaking offices.

Rajesh mama was my favourate. One of his gifted bat
always remained a matter of concern for my mother.I didn't
played much of cricket and all my friends loved it...and they
always wanted to use my bat. But Mom used to hate this..
if i will not use then no body else will !
The BAT is still with some children in the same colony.

I loved to hear lots of songs on my old tape-recorder and my
Fufa Ji's LP. My Fufa had a big house near by but i rarely went
there as there was nobody of my age .

The First School I Joined...

.

My father tried to get me admitted in to many english medium

school in Jamshedpur but i was not kucky enough !

Then i got admission in a newly opened school in Bistupur.
The school is "Narbheram Hansraj English School"

- NHES. I was the eighth student to take admission...

my Registration No being: "8/86" (8th of 1986).

I was admitted to the upper-kindergarten (UKg Sec A) in 1986.

The first boy to take admission was A Rakesh(1/86) and

he remained my friend till he left school. I am still looking for him.

Classes were fun as there were many extra-curricular activities

and enjoyed a lot.

.

After few months of my birth (11th February, 1982) in Bhagalpur
we moved to Jamshedpur where my father used to work.

My father (G. Prasad Sah) was an LIC employee in Jamshedpur.
We lived in a place called M-Type Adityapur .
