HUNDRED DAYS IN OFFICE

America’s president gives it, Indian prime minister also started it and lots of other EU countries take it more seriously. So I also thought of giving my report on completion of Hundred Days in office.

A lion from college, who always thinks that this world it too small for him or he is present in a wrong world makes it to AMDOCS DVCI without any effort (and I mean it, not even a single effort made by me to grab it). In office, he finds a different world all together. A “student” turns  “professional”. Everyone make him feel special, enjoys being called “SIR”. What more one can ask for, the “HONEYMOON” with the company was going far more better than expected.

The honey moon was at its fullest, and come one more blast. I was selected in “R&D Team”, will be working on the some of the best of minds here in India and Israel . What a dude just out of college needs, than to work in some R&D project.

But then good days go away  far more early than it should. The day I joined my team, I found all of them as if from some other planet. They don’t speak English neither Hindi, they speak in some alien language. “Build, Jameleon, Sanity, WAS, Nightly” and what not. the only word I recognized is “CODE PHAT GAYA”. I knew my days ahead are going to be hard and they were.

Next 30 days were some of the most difficult days till date, I really feels bad when someone says to you that “college me kya kiya tha”.

Finally I am also turning into “ALIEN”. Thing are now settling down (but still a lots more to learn and do). Hoping my association with AMDOCS goes far more and I also turn out to be a good and successful ALIEN.

SHAURYA KYA HAI (What is Bravery)

Before I say anything, let me confess that I’m not a movie freak and I watch movies only if I can’t do anything or its highly recommended by anyone.

The former was the situation last Sunday afternoon. I was jumping channels when I ended up at one showing “SHAURYA”. Being a passionate Uniform Lover I ended up watching whole movie(that a big feat to me) .So this blog is going to be interesting “A Movie Review After 3 Yrs of Release”.

More than anything else what kept me hooked was the story line of the film.

It a story about the decreasing levels of respect to Human Right and  Values. Firstly as anyone else who loves India, I rejected the movie as Absurd, but later I realized that it is actually a brave attempt to come up with this face of Army too.

And yes human right violations has been on an increasing trend in Indian Army. Just imagine how much unquestioned power we give to a army officer and if he starts misusing it, he can make life hell for someone. And now days corruption and sexual harassment is also making head into forces. People in north-east , Kashmir had been raising issues for years and then all of them cannot be wrong.

By the end of the film I was assured the “SHAURYA ” is not bounded to mere few medals on the chest but come from somewhere deep within the heart. Army is not just a job, it a way of life. I urge all those in positions, please don’t let the great tradition of sacrifice, bravery of thousands of officers and soldiers be mainlined by few greedy and insane people.

Indian Army has a tradition of remaining kind to even enemies when off the war fields and I’m sure it was, is and will remain the cleanest, bravest  Army in the world.

EDUCATION KA BAZZAR

It’s that time of year when lots of young minds from India (sorry sorry only in metro n some class B cities which is the blessed few) will be burning their midnight oil with only one dream in their eyes “MAKING IT TO IIM”  and their parent will thinking of how to manage 4-16 lakhs for remaining a parents who always share their child’s dream .    


   And yes it also the same time of year when another majority of India will be thinking how to arrange two sets of sweater for each of their kids so that they don’t miss their school this WINTER as the school had asked for the same and if not given, kids will be rusticated. 


   No I’m not again taking up the same issue of poor education system in India. This is draw your attention over a serious problem that of and that is of modern “SCHOOLS CUM MONEY-SUCKERS”. This is era in India where even the poor and illiterate know the important of   education in life. They don’t want their children to face the same hardship they faced whole of their life. For that they are ready to even burry their aspirations and dreams.


   But little they understands that yielding more on educations never give you the guarantee of better. I was actually amazed to know from one of my colleague in office that a renowned school in pune had asked for a donation of 50,000/- for the admission of his son into “PLAY-SCHOOL”. Had that boy not born to a parents who both are working in MNCs, he would had lost his life in some Govt. School.


   When I say lost, I mean it. The standard of schooling in any Govt. school is not hidden from anyone. It high time that govt. should come into play and put a break to these MONEY SUCKERS. Otherwise I can see a future of india where education is again a deal for rich and poor will be again deprived of it.
