Turned One This month! :)

Yuppsie...the corporate babies @ Hsc have turned 1 finally! :)

Beginning to get into the groove...The apprehensions have subsided
Late stays do not now trouble so much...New assignments are suprisingly welcomed...
What an year ago seemed impossible...Laughing (meaningfully) @ technical Jokes is now a reality!
The Cab Time Utilization is Full On! Who minds extra 2 hrs of dozing?? ;)

The "fresh" babies are growing up!
Here Are a few dedications from the babies for the occasion!

Exactly one year ago, we met some 'somebodies'
Who turned into friends and then into buddies.

Those Enigma days, Diwali dance and plays,
Still is fresh, that enthu and craze.

Dumb charatz, Frizby and those coffee sessions
We will keep live all such passions

Together we came, together we did grow
Cheers to Onset, for many more miles to go.

Thoughts to depart, Oh No....Never
We will be together...Ever....Forever......
Cheers :)

It was onset an year ago .. Its onset the same,
Some are still unrecognized .. some have tasted fame,

Its sometimes fate, Its sometimes the luck,
You bond so well, Like the best flowers you pluck,

The diverse lingos, the diverse nature,
Makes us different, yet one .. Its no caricature

The projects, the deadlines .. the dwindling fun
Shall we look back to how we begun ?

Its an year long journey that we began
Its time to celebrate .... The first battle has just been won !!

Luv
Punnu

Its been an year all along...
But hey it felt like a song...

I wonder about the morning blues...
Why do people raise all the hue!

Yes late stays n yes loadsa work..
but with frens like that its all the worth! :)

The cafetaria gatherings n celebrations..
The guitar strings n kareokae sessions..

The TT rage..faaltu ke discussions
Guys..weve had the best days amid recession! ;)

Wishin the same freshness stays..
And we forever feel that "honeymoon" gaze!

Heres Some bit On how we grew professionally (if at all)

The adulation, the adoring, the child like plays...all of which we fathom...
After an year of hard work ..our tiny steps do not seem random..

But the growth has not came easy..
Though the year behind feels breezy...

After the struggle with work..when the deadline beats U..
Manager's One Scorn could really break You...

For U Know he is not all that bad..
He taught u well..n if u did well..he would be glad!

The next day U enter wid determination..
wanting to see that glint of recognition...

Daily a new challenge awaits you...
Sometimes would make u feel blue..

But all that was in the year that went..
And to sustain through that..there wer frends to mend :)

CHEERS GUYS! :)
Prags!

A TRUE STORY(U/A)

This ones for a dear fren...now that he is moving on in life...taking a new path...
Wanna wish him good luck 4 his feature endeavours...

Heres a flash back of How We Met...N whats so special about the boy! :)

(The plot begins when Harshi meets Praggi...
to Know what happens next...Read On...)

Boys n gals heres a little tale...
I promise its not gonna be stale...

There were two kids who loved Maggi..
One named harshii and the other pragiii...

Some months ago..the two children met...
Not at a pre school but at a place where they got pay cheques!

On the first day itself...they bonded quite well...
The other children were quite..oo let them go to hell!

The next day..they were again together...
And now shefoo also joined the chitter chatter...

The trio dint realize...
wen they became a special pizza,burger,coke combo surprize!!

From the adda to teela...the talks never seized...
We needed each other as the break bell beeped...

And then punnee joined the party...
His guitar,dance n acting proved him a smarty...

With his charm...punnee took harshii away...
And shaifoo n pragii were left in dismay!!

Ulle..Mumma too joined in the wing...
Though silent..her warmth made us dance ting ting taring...

With Chocolates,brownies,pastass,pizzaass galore...
Naa...I am not going to weigh myself anymore!!

The Car trips, the Binging and the Phone Calls..
They became a regular without any stalls!!

We all are a family now...
Who is whos mother is a question somehow!! ;)

The five of us are inseperable...
When we are together,each day is a celebration...

The family loves harshii with all its heart...
Our boy(?) is a gem and we know we shall never depart!

Harshii is a darling and he loves pink...
His foodie ideas would make you think!

Sometimes delicate...sometimes strong...
when he thinks of something..he would make it happen all along..

He may irritate you with his non sense..
But a Cute look and your hate would be past tense...

He accepts you the way you are...And he wouldnt change a bit...
He spreads Joy wherever he goes and he is rightly named Harshit!

The family loves harshii with all its heart...
Our boy is a gem and we know we shall never depart!

Now our little boy is growing..a new world awaits him...
We would be brave..and learn to live without him...

Ok Ok I should not say anything more...
I dont want this to sound a bore...

We know harshii would rock anywhere he goes goes...
And we shall talk on the phone roz roz :)

The family loves harshii with all its heart...
Our boy is a gem and we know we shall never depart!

We'll Miss u harshi! :) N ya.. I knw it wud be tuff..but learn to live widout us!

How time Flies! (Office Office-2)

M writin this blog after a while now..for..to me the last 2 months flew past like wind!
It seems it was yesterday when I joined systique n now suddenly I realize that the cozy training days r over!
What I'm trying here is to fit in d trainin experience in this piece of blog but smhow it is kinda difficult to decide whr to start from..

Lemme start from whr I left the earlier post..With the technical trainin done n the test saga over..we were dreadin the next thing to follow..
The next thing in line were the in house projects..but they wernt the cause of worry..the very fact we might hav to "part ways" n go to different domains/cubicles wasnt a cheering thought at all..But then there was d surrrprise..yes d domains wer differnt but we all sat in the same sem haal :) To top dat..the entire floor was empty which meant Total HullaGulla@D8 Basement :D

The days to come were hectic..we were gettin used to the idea of "actually working"...Various techie "jargons" were introduced to us and Teams,Deadlines and Submissions became part of our "Work Culture"...but..but..but.."we are we"..so we never compromised on the fun part!
Diwali time came in and the entire batch rocked! We put in our hearts,souls n brains(if any) to make the Onset Prog a success...we sang,danced,tried to act :P n even turned into javed akhtars n gulzars to transform d holy Sutta number into d Onset Song ;)
N who can forget the Birthday Bashes! Gawd had such a fantab birthday at office..Thanx guys :)Yummy cakes, Zabardasti ki parties, Birthday Bumps,the surprises, the plannings and the daant phatkaar! Wohah it was fun!

Now the final ppts are due n everone is busy makin all kinds of docs n submissions..yet u will never find the TT table empty or the sem hall quiet!
Thats d spirit of Onset 08 :)

Aaah!
The days to come will be different......
You wud have to hold back ur steps from going to the D-8 Basement once u step out of the Cabs...
you wud miss the vibrancy in the sem hall..the guitar n the karaoke sessions..the sath sath lunchin munchin..the F.R.I.E.N.D.S...the muzicc(The Shef type)..the movies...the crazzy talks..the Coffee breaks..the Nautanki..the photu sessions..the walks.. the meethi saunf..the cars mein chakkar..the befazul ke plans!

Or wud it be any different??
I know one thing for sure..the befazul ki plannings wud never end :P
For the rest...Ill let u know...
Later :)

Office Office :)

Hmm...Finally It has happened!! I have moved from the vella chunk of the society to the 'Respectable', 'Earning' and the 'KaamKaaji' lot!!
And for all those who r suspecting my case...hey m prepared wid all proof!! Ive got my first Pay check to effectively Validate that! :)

The lucky company that I gave the opportunity to have my name in its employee database happens to be Hughes Systique ... I shall try my best not to dubaao the company ;)

The joinin date was 15th sept...full 4 months after my Engg exams...so I had ample time to laze around..ghoomo phiro..get bored..n get terribly out of touch of my non existant programming skills :P

Anyways..finally the D Day came..N I was all set to join the great bandwagon of IT professionals! As expected, I was a lil nervous the day before..I feared the geeks (the NSITians,IIITians n the lot!)that I would have to jhelo in the coming days!

I reached the office premises before time..thats coz I started early considering the office is 40 kms from my place. The first impression of the office building was lyk...well..ohhh..ok..is this the one! This Dhinchakly painted piece ;). Jst kidding..the place is nyc, small n comfy..The interiors are nicely done..n the best part of the setup is the Cafetaria..where we are served free lunch n ofcourse the yummy mouth freshner after it :).Now after 3 weeks of joinin..the place seems lyk it was forever mine!

The first day was largely occupied with completin the joinin formalities,gettin to know the 'Geeks'..ohh well a thought about the geeks...They all are good,normal,warm people...they may be phodu types..but they know how to have fun too!!

So from the next day onwards our sessions for the Training began..they were a mix of Orientation programmes in the first week...HR,IT,the MD of the company,Company Policies,The Renu Mattoo session...while we slept through the sessions..we made 'judicious' use of the free time by indulging in endless rounds of Dumb Charades, Cows n Bulls, The Teela sessions n ya ofcourse the Adda Talks! :) Also thr wer Bdday parties n the frisbee gaming championships!

The next week came n it introduced us to certain technical sessions n we continued with the 'judicious' use of time... Though this time the sessions seemed longer than before and various new 'Jargons' were introduced to us which made lil sense ;)!!

Then there was the third week...was the week when the Sine wave went to bottom peak!
This week was damn tiring! The batch(29 ppl) were devided into 2 grps..protocols n applications..n now seperate sessions were held. The hours became longer, the schedule tighter, the technical details grew messier,the 'Jargons' heavier...no syncronised breaks meant less masti too :(!! But then the gr8 respite came for us! Yes then came The Pay Day :) n seeing the first Pay made us feel worthy of something.. :) n happier too!! :)

Now jst another week of trainin is left..n then would come the real test..Ohh test reminds me that we actually had to go though the Test Saga as well..but the engineering experience came in handy this tym..n we managed well :P

So..thats the story so far..I actually loving the office experience...N I luv to say that m not following Mrs Mattoo's theory ;) for Ive made some fantab frens here :)

Thats it for now! More later :)
