Big Three Mistakes...contd

Moment 2: Again the graduation time and this time moving back to Jammu for graduation.

My stay in Pune lasted for just 2 months and being ambitious i didn’t want to remain with whatever i had got. The small stay helped me to generate my interests in engineering and more importantly I got in touch with some of my pre-final year seniors- Nalin from Computers, Ashwani Sharma from Mechanical, Pratap Ganjoo from Electronics and Anil Bhat from instrumentation. I shared very good rapport with all of these guys and often used to visit them for frequent help and guidance. I never knew my meeting with Nalin will have some other hidden context in it. Nevertheless I was going great guns in whatever I had got and was trying to assimilate as much as possible. During this time I appeared for my midterm exams and successfully cleared all the subjects getting AC (All Clear-engineering lingo for passing all the subjects ). I was getting used to it when i was bound to commit another mistake. I had appeared for my CET-Common Entrance Test in my home state and results of the same poured in the month of Sept’04. I was allocated Mahant Bachittar Singh College of Engg and I don’t know from where I quit DY Patil for this newly established college. I was making a blunder and nobody was there to guide except for my cousin Dr Sujit Raina who had indeed cautioned me about it but only after i had committed the same. The idea behind this was to fulfil my dad’s ambition of having a medico professional from the family. This logic never went through me but nevertheless I agreed with the sole aim to fulfil my family ambition. That year I joined engineering in disguise for my father’s dream. I tried but i knew i was not made for it so lost the big battle by just 5 marks, a heartbreak indeed. I was shattered and this infact had a bad impact on my mind. I had also appeared again for engineering CET and I was allocated REC-Regional Enngineering College-Tirchy( now NIT- Tirchy- probably the best college for any engineering graduate after IITs in the country). The only tradeoff was the specialisation was Civil and me moron just let it go in vain. I now understand what blunders i committed in my life. Probably this was the biggest blunder so far and me stupid never understood it. Shattered , Disturbed and Destroyed

Moment 3: Leaving Satyam in 2009

Whatever mistakes I committed on course to my graduation, I wanted to rectify them enroute my post- graduation. And this time there was no ifs and no buts as I joined K J Somaiya for my MBA, a fine college in Mumbai. I decided to put all my past in back burner and work tirelessly for my new project. I did almost everything right and got placed with Satyam Computers, India’s 4th largest software services company. I was satisfied for the first time in my life because I had achieved what i wanted. I was working my ass out in Satyam and was also getting the due credit for the same. I was getting fruits for my hard work for the first time and was on the 9th cloud. In 2nd half of 2008 we started sensing something wrong with company as our confirmation got delayed by 2 months. And as the doom had to stuck Satyam scam hit the 40k employees of the company. At the same time in my quest to fulfil my father’s dream I had appeared in State Bank examination and this time I made it through. Now the situation that had arisen was complementary. On one hand Satyam was wobbling with scam and on other hand I got through State Bank. Sensing insecurity in career I made this switch. I quit Satyam sensing insecurity even when I knew that I was the safest person in Satyam. I could not convince my parents about it although i had a support of my big brother like cousin Vinod Raina . In fact even he had tried a lot to convince my dad but when there is lowness in atmosphere the slimmest smile cant help. And as my third blunder of life had to happen I quit Satyam with heavy heart. I cried with myself but there was no one to listen and see my tears. After this erroneous judgement, my mind went into the state of shock and what followed were a lot of decisions on my personal front which still have a bearing on me at present. I don’t know what will be the intensity of this blunder and how soon I can correct it, only time will tell me.

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,...

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...
