Satyam- The Pre 7/1 era-Part 1 Hyderabad Chapter

SIMSR was the best thing to have happened in my life. It armed me with the much needed killer instinct to survive in this cut throat competition. The faculty the students the environment all propelled and inspires you to achieve the best in the life and probably it was this nurturing that I landed into one of the best and finest IT houses of India- Satyam: the name which itself stands for truth.
Joining day @ Satyam
After lot of joining delays I finally got the mailer to join in Hyderabad- 1st August 2007 being the date, Mashallah being the reporting place. Satyam being the first job for me i was filled with lot of enthusiasm. I landed at the campus with some 20 odd people waiting for their formalities to be completed. Slowly and steadily crowd started building their and i could see some 50 plus MTs waiting for their turn to get into Satyam. What followed was beginning of a day long process full of joining formalities, verification of the documents and finally issuance of the ID cards. I was in-fact the last person in the batch to get the ID card and the offer letter. My joy new no bounds because there I was with the job of my liking and a brand like Satyam being the launch pad. With ecstasy in mind and thoughts I promised to give my best to this company.
My relocation to Pune
An IT company is known for two of the important aspects-resources and customers. It is difficult to separate which breeds the other. It is like the egg and the hen story. You have customers so you require the resources and if you have the resources you can instill confidence among the customers to give them new business. After my joining I was asked to report at City Center office but came to know that the person whom i had to report to had already left Satyam. Within a day I started realising the realities of IT sector. I was on the bench- the IT lingo used for the most idle people in the company. I started following up with the RCC- the resource manager from our unit for some salvation. In this quest I was joined by with another MT from XISS Jharkhand. After six days of continuous and vigorous follow up I came to know that I have been allocated the SAP unit outside Hyderabad. My quest had taken me to a new destination-the cultural capital of Maharashtra, the place of pure Marathi-ism....Enter PUNE

My icon for life!!!

A banker hardly gets time to socialise owing to the enormous stress and pressure. This community is slowly and steadily turning into a forlorn lark. Being a part of this community, i also hardly get any time to attend any social gathering. Even keeping abreast with the latest happenings is also sometimes impossible. These days, due to internet blockade in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, we are unable to remain facebook and whatsapp active. The dependency on the idiot box gets increased. The KBC has been our favourite TV show over the last decade or so. We have actually grown with it. The show gives a boost for any avid current affairs reader. But I lost track of it over the last few years. Incidentally  I happened to watch the Big B anchored KBC on danteras by chance aired on 25 th October. Being a Friday, the show showcases some people who have contributed significantly to our society. This episode highlighted the contribution of  a doctor couple based out of Bharatpur Ra...

Respect her!!!

The time of Corona has brought in it the lockdown. Lockdown is the state of affairs when the whole world comes to stand still. Any change would carry with it the innate quality of inviting criticism both for and against it . Lockdown is no different. There may be people who are favouring lockdown while as there is a subset of our population which are against it too. My analysis is it happened for our good and we all need to bear this adventure. The best part of lockdown for me has been that the public broadcasting of the two mythological epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Both these epics represent the ethos of Indian civilisation and how the Indian civilisation has evolved over the time. While the positives of the epics circulate through the veins and arteries of the nation, one aspect has been showing the ladies as sheer objectification. The epics have given a great moral to us    which invokes us to respect the women folk. These epics are really significant in the current d...

Lockdown diaries- The Covid Scare

Lockdown was implemented in the whole country to contain the spread of Covid 19. Our state or union territory is no different. But being the financial warrior, we had to be at the front fighting the deadly pandemic while serving our customer. We have also faced the brutality of this deadly pandemic with so many bankers losing life. Though every banker is cautiously treading through these difficult times, there were near miss incidents which every banker could have faced. Let me narrate an incident that happening during the lockdown which involved our own staff. It was Monday evening when I had just stepped into my room after day’s labour. I had just taken my evening bath when my phone started ringing. I was surprised to see a call from one of my lady colleagues because usually after the office time no calls take place. Within few minutes, another call came in and this time it was from my service manager. “Sir, Where are you?” He was quite subtle in his demeanour. With utter calmness,...
