Small IT World.

Most of us who are working in IT industry have heard or even said "It's a small IT world, our paths will cross again", I  realised this saying holds totally valid the moment I met a person in my office.

Eight months back I was striving for a job change, one day my resume got short listed by a very big product based IT company (lets say it as XYZ) in Noida (Sorry, I can't disclose the name) and they schedule me for a Face to Face interview. I was very excited and little bit nervous about my F2F interaction as this is the company for which I always wanted to work. On the scheduled day (which was going to be a big day for me) and time, I was there sitting on the couch, reading faces of other candidates, inhaling and exhaling to keep myself cool and waiting for my call to have F2F interaction. Half an hour passed and I was called for the interview, I entered the room, one skinny man and one short guy was there and things got started.

It was a good shot from my side in Linux and programming although I was not able to give two answers from the shell scripting. I thought shell scripting part will not matter but I never imagined in my dreams that my lack of knowledge of two shell script commands will really matter.....Yes, I was not selected and my feedback was "Candidate is not good in shell scripting". By just asking two commands in shell scripting they decided my fate with that company. My expectations and excitement got shattered like a glass fell from a window pane from 20th floor of a building. I came out from premises of that company, looked back and said "Better luck next time big boy and Fuck those interviewers, they are not capable enough to see your capabilities".

My job change spree continued, after a month My company got some new requirements and they included me in the interview panel for hiring new people, so, I was taking interviews and giving interviews outside :).

          On a Weekend Walk-in drive, I was there in my company taking interviews. I got resume of one candidate, I went to the waiting area and called up the name, the person holding that name stood up and I was completely flabbergast  to see him as he was the same short guy who took my interview in that big company XYZ and rejected me for not answering two shell script command.

When he saw me, he also got that who I am and what he did to me.......OMG!!....what the moment it was... I intentionally saw him from top to bottom to top and asked him to follow me. While I was leading him towards interview room I was giggling, jumping on my feets, my eyes were gleaming like Devil's eyes and I was thanking to god for giving me this auspicious chance to take my revenge. The only thing which was roaming in my mind is "Aaja Beta, aaj table ulti ghoom gayi he....main batata hoon tujhe interview kise kehte hein". When he was sitting in front of me, my teeth were pressuring each other from top to bottom, my fingers were clenched together, I was thinking like what should I do to him but my professional etiquettes asked me to control....

I took his interview for 1.5 hours, asked him load of questions making him pale and gave my decision to HR team. I took my revenge and I didn't took my revenge.

This was my first experience of small IT world.

After Diwali 2010, I relocated myself to a new rented house in a society and you won't believe that one fine morning in my society I met that guy again. We crossed each other by looking each others face, we didn't talked but our silence talked a lot.

So, it is not only IT world which is small in fact whole world is small.

PS: Those who know me well  can figure out what exactly I did to him, rejected or selected.

Addiction.

This morninn I was thinking about it and asking myself, what is Addiction? and that moment the Pantry boy of my office came and placed a cuppa tea on my desk. I was looking at this cuppa tea whether I should take it or not, suddenly, I felt that my heart and my brain are talking to each other and saying some thing to me.The conversation as follows:-

 

Heart: take it.

Brain: Don't take it, you already had two since morning and this'll  be your third.

Heart: C'mon dude! grab that nicotine liquid before it cools down.

Brain: Heart, why are you forcing him to take that, it'll harm you.

Heart: Dear Brain, I am insisting him to take it because it'll make you feel relax. You are the master of the body after all, you need to work so hard for every part of the body.

Brain: Nice to know that you care for me but if m the master then you should listen to me.

Heart: Don't you worry Boss, I'll make a situation in which this body will do some work out and that hazardous nicotine will get digest.

Brain: Are you sure about creating such situation?? I have not seen a situation up till now where I need to send a signal to this body to do workout.Ultimately, I need to take care of all mangled things in night when this lazy, careless body is sleeping.

Heart: Boss, you crib so much...don't you.....c'mon grow up....trust me... send signal to hand to grab that cuppa tea.

 

and I grabbed that tea and gulped it.So, I feel that addiction is something which your heart always ask you to do again and again being it  for tea/coffee, cigarette, alcohol and..............love.

Technically, our Brain is controlling us but logically our heart is controlling our brain and supersedes it sometime (may be all the time).

 

PS: Yes, I am addicted to Tea.

Dear My Love.

Dear (Yet to be come) My Love,

Where ever you are on this planet, I wish you a very Happy Valentine Day
and I hope you will celebrate this day in a same manner as I am
celebrating it from the past 26 years.
To be a lil bit more romantic, every year is a valentine year, every
month is a valentine month, every day is a valentine day and every hour
is a valentine hour (skipping minutes,seconds and nano seconds) but
let's stick to this single day to celebrate it with whole world.

I hope we will meet soon (although 26 years have passed in waiting) and
make a gr8 pair to remove the tag "Single" from our social public profiles.

Till then buy yourself a good dinner, a bunch of flowers, a good gift
and enjoy this full of love day.

Your's Eagerly and Desperately Waiting.
Ankit

शेरिंग ऑटो का सफ़र

*** मैं करीब तीन साल तीन महीने बाद शेरिंग ऑटो में बेठा तो इनमे  बिताये पुराने सफ़र के कुछ अनुभव याद आ गए जिनको मैं नीचे लिख रहा हूँ.***

 

शेरिंग ऑटो का सफ़र,

छोड़ता हर किसी के मन पे अपना असर.

 

इसके  सफ़र का अनुभव,

हे अपने आप में एक अनोखा अनुभव.

 

इसमें बेठ कर मज़ा आता हें खाने में हवा,

पर जब ड्राईवर पीछे खड़े होने को कह दे तो हो जाती हें ख़राब हवा.

 

इस ऑटो में सफ़र की क्या बात हो,

जब हिमेश रेशमियां के गानों के साथ आपके सफ़र की शुरुवात हो.

 

ऑटो एक पहिये पे चार लोग आधारित हैं,

तभी तो कुल मिलकर तीन पहियों पे बारह लोग सवार हैं.

 

अपना हाथ दिखायें ऑटो ज़रूर रुक जायेगा,

जगह हो या न हो पर आपको ज़रूर ले जायेगा.

 

ऑटो में ठूंस ठूंस कर बेठ्तें हें सब,

फिर भी मोबाइल फ़ोन जेब से निकलने की जद्दो जेहत करते हें सब.

 

कहीं बच्चों की चिल्लम चिल्ली,

तो कहीं ट्राफ्फिक के होर्न की पी पाँ पीपी.

 

कहीं नैन मटक्का,

तो कभी  बगल में बेठे पेसेंज़र से धक्का.

 

कहीं इंडियन पोलिटिक्स / क्रिकेट टीम पे फंडे ,

तो कभी ऑटो रिकक्षा ड्राईवर से पैसो को लेकर पंगे.

 

कभी बगल से जा रही गाडी से ड्राईवर को गाली,

तो कभी सबसे पीछे बेठे पस्सेंगेर ने को ऑटो रोकने के लिए तीन चार बार आवाज़ मारी.

 

कभी सामने वाले के पेरों में अपने पेर फसां कर बेठना,

तो कभी किसी आंटी का ज़बरदस्ती अपने बच्चे को आपके पेरों पे बिठाना.

 

यह ड्राईवर भी अजीब कमाल करते हैं,

सीट खाली  हो तो आपको पीछे बिठाते हैं और अगर कोई मैडम आ जाये तो आपको आगे आधा बहार और आधा अन्दर बेठने को बुलाते हैं.

 

ड्राईवर का बोलने का मिजाज़ भी अलग हे,

हमको भैया और लड़की को मैडम का अंदाज़ ही अलग हैं.

 

हमने क्या इज्ज़त कहीं बेच खायी हें,

क्या सिर्फ लड़कियों ने ही ऑटो में इज्ज़त पायी हें.

 

भैया तो बात ऐसी हें,

इन शेरिंग ऑटो में सफ़र करना हें निराला,

आपको जल्दी न हो तो टाइम पास करने को इसमें ज़रूर जाना.

नोट: ऊपर लिखी पंक्तियों को हिंदी में लिखने के लिए गूगल transliteration का प्रयोग किया गया हें.

I believe there are plenty of such more points which can be metioned here. I hope you must have came across in your life with above mentioned points.

Anything (Kuch Bhi)

Some times English word “Anything” becomes most confusing specially when you ask your friend or partner about some thing and they just reply anything which is most annoying answer at that time.

Some of the such situations are:

Restaurant:What should we have for dinner?

Anything (Kuch Bhi) .

Deserts:Which Ice cream do you want to have?

Anything (Kuch Bhi).

Relation:We are going first time to his house, what should we take for him?

Anything (Kuch Bhi).

Shopping:Which type of jeans do you prefer to wear, Straight fit, narrow fit,Low waist?

Anything (Kuch Bhi). No particular type.

Television:Do you want to watch any specific channel?

Anything (Kuch Bhi).

Cake Shop: Which one you want to have?

Anything (Kuch Bhi).

 

and the worst situation comes when this word anytime get transformed in to anywhere and anytime like:-

Where we should go to have fun?

Anywhere (Kahin bhi).

Okay, but at what time?

Anytime (Kisi bhi time).

We can see such more examples from daily life. At that time you may get annoyed but later on when we think about it than we realize that these words comes out when the person who is asked some thing himself is not so sure or don’t know about the things. At that time these words comes like Anything. :)

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day.
