We are in an industry where experience counts.. and why only in IT ! it is appicable in every field.. but today something has happened which made me think that xperience ..could be deceptive !! ..

So the Story happens @ the railwy station @ Melbourne , date 22nd feb 2010 and time is 19:40 P.M. i.e. just to return from office.. I was witing for My train which was sscheduled after 10 minutes ..with nothing to do.. and with an i-pod in my ears I was just strolling at the platform ..as the time of arrival of train came close by . the crowd started gathering.. in between the crowd i saw a Very CUTE , BHOLI BHALI TYPE KI GIRL , who was coming towards the same platform as mine.( probably she also wanted to catch the same train like mine)..:P.. this made me a bit attenetive about my looks and manners..:D morever she was looking like an Indian ..but when she came loser it was clear from her accent that she is not !! .. anyways the story continues..so she cae clsoe to me and we both started to wait for the train.. Iwas in a full mood to take a  seat close to her nce we would have setteled down ( and probably to start a conversation , IF luck permits;) ) .. ..but iwasn’t aware that what TWIST is going to come in next 1 -2 minute..

Now My previous Experience in SYDNEY reg the local trains has taught m follwoing things : -
1) NEVER be in a hurry…
2) LET the automaticDoor open ( please read this point carefully ) : and  let the ppl who want t get down at this station get down first..
3) Let the women and children enter first , than as A gentel man go inside..

with my these EXPERIENCES .. i was all set to go my battel.so the Charo=iot ( the train came ) .. and we were all preapred.. me and that madam were by chance standing at the door itslef where the train stopped.Keeping the points number 1,2 ,3 mntioned above ( spl 2 &3 ) .. I stepped aside.. and let that madam stand in front of the gate.. Iwas now waitign for the door to open and to enter AFTER her.. but my tough luck !!! here came the turn !! :’(

when the Train came.. and I stepped aside in order to take her the action..to enter the train.. she looked into my EYES .. as if she is demanding.. I just gave a smile . she again looked at me.. and kept staring .. now thisWas an ALARM  TRIGGER..i just thought what has happened.. !! by this time she gave me an ” PHEW ” kinda look .. shook her head in a slight “no hope” type condition , STEPPED froward .. and OPENEd THE TRAIN GATE .. !!  :O

I was shocked by the incident which just has happend.. i.e OPENING of the Gate… , I had no idea that trains in Melbourne don’t have the AUTOMATIC DOOR system and had to be opend manuallY ! .. I just stood there shocked , but some how i managed myslef and entered into the train, the girl gave me A final look of ” what a dumbo person !! as if travelling for The first time in the train ” kinda look.. and took her seat.. ppor chap me.. just 5 mins back i was thinking to grab a seat close to her.. but this act of mine ( or rather her ) which was supposed to be done by a chivalrous man !! has changed the equation , i was just trying to find a seat which WAs 180 degree opposite to her and by nochance i oculd come in frnt of her,.. finally MY stop came and i went down , this TIMe my door Getting opened by MYSELF  only…!!

So I ’sincerely suggest ppl that plzdo not go JSUT BY your EXPERIENCE.. take a trust on your instincts and do go for some thing  jo ‘DIL KAHE !! ..

thanks

 Its nov 27th 2009 !! and the time is almost 11 p.M. !! just finished a call to my friend @ jaipur she scolded me to call her up @ such a time and to make her wake up from the bed.. getting up from bed is not an issue.. as she will get awake @ 12 noon only irrespective of the time she sleeps.. !! .. but the major issue is to come out in Chilly winter !!

. ahaaa.. this reminded me that i have not wore a sweater/ since Last 4 years…!!!!!!!!..:-(…. Personnally i foind wearing a JACKET / gloves / Muffler etc to be very interesting and cool !! as it increases one’s style sstatus…and ialways made sure till DEC 2005 that whatever was the temeperature. i should be wearing atleast one of the above things… !! morever i also like the GAJAR ka halwa whc my mom prepares.. spl due to availbility of CARROT in plenty in this days…. ,,, consumption of GUD.. ( that is JAGGERY.. and NOTTT the other way round .. i tell you ..;-) ) is very much prone to it !! man !! i really enjoy winter… and not only because of these jackets / JUICE / HALWA etc..etc.. also because few of the things are there ,,, like cracked lips….cracked cheeks.. blowing nose.. and EARS etc..these are the sweet swet & harmless diseaes which we can get only in winter only… ..:-)… but to my fate.. i haven’t got a chance to have any of these since last 4 years… !! To the stint of mine and my story for NOT GETTING an ENCOUNTER with all such stuff.. lemme take back to you my time travel area… andsshow you my stints iwth dec / jan and Feb regions of 2006 – 2009 .. i,e, tottal of 4 years !!

starting with 2006 : when i joined satyam.. @ the time of diwali .. i packed my luggage from home and took all the precautionary measures like vaseline lip gurad , jackets etc from home in order to encounter from the forth coming winter Series … …i was very desperate to wear it the first moment i feel the HEAT of winter season..

But My fate… I was transferred to chennai …on 20th nov.. 2006 !! i don’t have any complaints in chennai as it gave me my most beautiful days to live with my friends.. but never gave me a chance to wear a sWEATER….pp; used to ask me on phone .. its cold.. always wear a sweater,, befire u go smwhere… !! and i always laughed in my mind.. wearinga a half sleeve shirt .. !! so YEAR ! passed …

 than came the winter 2007 .. by that time we were thinking for the full year ki we will be out of chennai..but luckily..( or unluckily ) i didn’t go out of chennai .. but my friends zaroor went .. providng me the ” LAST WORKIGN DAY AT CHENNAI ” Mail…. antywas. my STINT continued with chennai winters.. wearing a half sleeve shirt on 25 th dec… and looking @ the photos of delhi fogg and and missing the DELHI KI SARDI !! …year came and went !!

year 2008 : a very life turning story happenend in my lyf.. i was aksed to move to Australia in Nov 2009 ..the first thing came to my mind was the orkut and facebook photos of my ONSITE friends. wearing JACKETS and showing their HANDS at the temperature controller with -1 , – 2 , -3 degreees.. came to my mind.. was very happy that i will finally get a chance towear some HOT STUFF between some HOTTIES !! ..in the filght i jkept thinking about my profile pic !! and the comments i will recieve in them… as soon as i landed there.. i felt sweat coming in from my right temple..koi na koi na.. sanket..u are coming for the first time.. to an unknown land..may be ur bit nervous !! after 30 min i again felt the temple sweat.. may be ur still nervous !! after 1 hour .. standing at immigraton line .. i felt some wetty felling on my neck.. yaar i am not soo NERVUOS i said to my self !! meanwhile i got glimpse of the temperature clock at airport .. temperature 32 degrree clesius.. !! i said.. whatt ! jsut asked my collegu prabhu .. don’t they have winter ever in australia.. 32 degree that too in NOVEMNBER !!! for whc my DEAREST friend replied.. ” BRO.. i think u didn’t study geography oin school !! if u would have read.. u must have knwon that ASUTRALIA is in SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE and THEY HAVE SUMMER @ THE TIME WHEN U HAVE WINTER IN INDIA !!!! .. Oops.. all My photos and jackets crashed !! and I said NAMASTE to my prabhu ( god ) and the to the prabhu ( my collegue )…finally we left the ocuntry after 3 months after all the SATYAM DRAMA !!

now its 27 th nov 2009 and i am waiting for the temeprature to fall for 10degree or less..!! but looking at the temeparture variance of the last days,.. i hardly find it to make up my day !!

EVERY day..i filp the news channel in order to listen to the temperature and clouds monitoring on hyderabad to make the weather a bit cooler.. !! but these stupid satellites.. on whom we have paid so much taxes and inpite of being lace with crores of equipment don’t give me a hope !! …. lemme hope for year 2010 to get a hope for beong cool for this mr HOTTT !! .. .. ..;)

yesterday , i decided to clean up my room at the Occasaion Of  Diwali …… gradually my bomb blASTED room & Wardrobe started taking the shape of a Proper garden like structure… meanwhile i found my diary of the year 97-98 which had Some Day Entries written by me…..

 with my Rewinded  and astonished memory… i flipped the pages… reading the first page i came to know that inspired by Robinsone Crusoe’s lesson in Class 7th  ENGLISH Course …i took a ( forgotten)resolution smwhere in the starting of year 97… which Lasted only for 2 months and that too with broken links (i.e. not in a continuous stream)..  but the moments  which this diary had  made me feel that i have revisted my child hood after a decade and wished that those  moments come once .. just for few minutes….

how silly was my diary writing habit..at that time.. with broken hand writing .. half written with pen half with pencil.. :0) !!! weared and teaerd pages….never worried about the books..etc.

the diary stated that with the year 97 starting  on jan 1, i have taken the resolution to write the diary…  ( And 2nd jan’s entry was missing ) .. J

Oh… what were my concerns at that time…. Today i got punishment because i was talking in the class….i couldn’t eat my lunch because my mom made some delicious food in my lunch and every one took it , so iWas Left with only scraps of it……..

I Lost my ink pen.. which costed 12 rs…. I got a very good in my english assignment….  my friend and I were throwing chalks to each other…

the thing which made me laugh the most was that teachers asked  me to  call my parents and i forgot to convey this message to them… next day was a huge havoc to me…. ;0)..

it also stated that i got a 2Rs coin in the school ground and i gave it to mummy which she said to keep it with me only for emergency use  ( like phone call ).. and i felt proud in showing it to my friends…..

i have missed my Auto rickshaw  to day because of being late and dady gave me life to my school missing his office time…..i had a  fight with  my classmate on the issue of spoiling my drawing by inserting a bad color in my painting… etc…. i finished all the pages within 5 -10 min.. but those 5 10 min made me live my whole life which i ENJOYED…..

today These 12 rs pen, 2 rs coins , a spoiled painting , the scraps of tiffin  Or a VERY GOOD have no Meaning …when i comapre them with my salary .. Or with My spoiled Assignment …or with an appreciation with The client ( replacement of VERY GOOD ),,,, but still these are the memories through which i have grown up.. lived my life ..this all from a PART of my life and i am incomplete without it….

i have decided to write a Diary system Again….. but this time… it won’t be as loose as it was previously… this is because now if i get a diary  smwhere in 2050-55 i can revisit my this second of life.. which other wise i will forgot… for securing an unseen future… !!!!!! Or May be my Grand kids will remember me through it !!

( infact Actually i Still maintain the diary writing habit but now It is in the format of  a notepad entreies with Date and time.. ) its is quite gud.. but no so intresting like A hand written diary !! )..

Thanks

 I was among that group in college whose Aim was To Study and Achieve gud percentage marks and than finally get Selected in one of the Prestigious company .. though it doesn’t mena that we never had fun in our college life..and whenever the time permitted .. we used to go to movies , discos and BIRD WATCHING (I hope u get the point  ) at the destined Areas of my city after bunking the classes. But the real Aim was never forgotten.. ..Many A times in College I Was approached by ppl from opposite Sex as the ONLY TRUSTED BOY in case of any information they needed reg college Attendance .. what happened in lecture…the Respective notes etc etc.. …

These are some trifle examples showing my NON- ENJOYING ATTITUDE of my life … (as Stated By others ). Many a times I felt the Regret that why I am so gud.. :’( as the Person who never attended the college and did double dancing @ disco than me..Is also doing the similar job… the Person who did a bird watching Triple than me is now a discovery channel Expert ( I hope I got The meaning )… .. and the ppl for whom I was a TRUSTED Resource .. now TRUST some one other… . but I don’t have any malice for them…

 few days back I Was watching some Hollywood movies… in which there is a Super actioned packed Hero.. there is a super hot heroine.. and there is A Villain….. I watched them just for fun..but..some where deep in my heart I was very much inspired by the JOHN TRAVOLTA , HEATH LEDGER and other actors who played the negative roles…I felt a sudden urge of my BAD BOY who has been Sleeping in my mind somewhere…to wake up and to Be like them… I thought …let me be a bad boy.. I filtered out the qualities of a BAD person.. like ..care free attitude..willingly talking harsh… Trying desperately to think on the concept of ME FIRST .. OTHER LATER.. ..here is what I faced..
- I tried at a care less attitude…but when the Dealines for my work.. (not only Professional .. bt personal ) like getting the bill paid.. and search for a Flat for Friend…. I automatically did every thg at the right time.
-  When I WILLINGLY tried talking harshly… the person face turned Blank.. “ as sanket .. how can sanket talk like this ??? “ I couldn’t bear the ASTONISHED look.. on their faces… ( as I was prepared for The ROUGH AND TOUGH FIGHT LOOK ) .. said Sorry and some fillers like..my mood is out etc etc.. and Came back.. !!
-when I TRIED for ME FIRST Concept…. And Saw that other person behind me is waiting for me..I Automatically gave my Seat in bus.. / token list @ cafeteria… / position in queue.. automatically to him.. ahh.. I Failed At this time..

I Was just wondering that though I liked the characters of these Super Legend Villains.. my situation is smwhat like MUNNA bhai’s JIMMY SHERGIL .. who did nothing bad in his life..just like me..buit bechara got the troubleosm suffer… . Now I don’t have any Munna bhai in my life.. I am + ive no one will come ..but was just wondering.. in future.. WILL I EVER BE a BAD BOY !!! ??????? and if I fail….in that case will I be in SYNC with the CUT THROAT world…???? expecting some solution from you all .. in My confused life..

 Thank & Regards

After 5 full months and 11 unsuccessful Attempts our JJ sahib is back to an interview panel on a  ratio of 2:1 let us have an excerpt of their interview.

I/VWER : Welcome mr JK , please have aseat , and tell us something About yourself.
JJ :Ii Am Mr JK with 5 yrs Of Exp and before getting Laid  off  I was Working for XYZ company

I/VWER2 : hold on , hold on, u said that u Were LAID OFF !! why so ??
JJ : I Would say sir that is was my fault , May be a I Was unable to to do up to the expectation.
As I all my friends got an appreciation Letter , rewards , and incentives ,but not me.
I/VW2 : so u never EVER got A Certificate in your life stating your appreciation ??
JJ : yeah Sir, neither I got it , Nor I want to get it  like my other buddies who went in to BOSS cabin and threatened him to Leave the company or asking for a release ..
I/VW1 : so all your buddies who threatened your boss in such  away got a letter !! an u didn’t ?? why u never tried that Approach ??
JJ : sir hw can I ???  .. boss is already so much in tension..to handle so many people , to handle so many request , client shouting  at him, poor fellow.
I/VW 2 : so you have a soft corner for your boss rit !! but still he didn’t tried to save your job before u were laid off ??
JJ : no sir… it is not like that.. he would have tried for full efforts as when I was getting th pink slip (PS )he said that presently it is out of his hands so better to Accept it  in order to avoid  any further TERMIANTION TYPE of PROCESS { J } .. see he is so caring nature..  in fact he promised me also that even after getting the pink slip he will surely try to pull me back..and..
IVW1 : so do you get a call from him now ??
JJ: no sir .. I think he might be busy with the project.. in fact I tried to call him as well but he said that  AT PRESENT he does not have any opportunities for me.. but SURELY I am in his mind and will be his first choice if any req comes.. but looking at the present scenarios even a company is unable to help..
IVW2 : so means this is company’s fault ??
JJ: no sire… it is actually the circumstances of global market that is hand cuffing company to explore the areas .
IVW1 : so u never Tried for any back up plans that time ??? like searching for a new job / alternative ??
JJ : sir ..hw can I ??? even think to leave a company .. who has given me a bread and butter when I was just a graduate from college ?? see sir.. Actually the relation between employer and a employee is like A Family..they are like… like Family members !!!   at the time of difficult situation like this ..!! a member should  support his family.. I did the same. and thought that whatever happens I should never leave the company.
( By this time Mr. JJ is extremely emotional and i/vwers think that if they don’t change the discussion topic ..Mr JJ will start crying.. which they have not seen even if they have REJECTED the Candidate in their previous EXP.)

IVW 2 : hmm.. ok so what about your family ?? who all are there.??
JJ : wel in my family I have my wife and  my 2 twin kids..
IVW1 : so whr r they rit now?? Is your wife a working woman??
JJ : no sir , she is at her home ( mayka ) along with my kids.. the same employer and employee theory I told to my wife .. and she started shouting at me..later it turned into some mis-communications and she left me ..!!
I/VW1 : ohh. I am Sorry for that..Anyways what about your  friends ?? Aren’t they floating your resumes  in their companies ??
JJ : they tried sir but all in vein.. !! May be their relatives who are lesser experienced than mine.. but more knowledgeable stuff than me have started getting the job.
I/VW1  : hw  come.. ???
JJ : sir Actually talent doesn’t rely on people ‘s exp.. it is totally dependent on a person’s ability to learn.
I/VW2 : So you don’t have any talent in you rit ?? is this u want t o say..
JJ ; Sir hw could I .. ??? in fact after working in office for close to 10 – 12 hours a day and on weekends..also..!! I hardly got a time to enhance my skills.. !!
I/VW1 : oh is it ?? why your work load was so much..?? that you had to come on sat / sun ??
JJ : no no sir.. Company has a moderate work load .. it will never ever burden a person un-necessarily..
the only thing is that all my team mates used to go to their home  towns and few ppl from localite used to stya with their family !!
I/VW2 : and what about you ?? u never  have to go  to your family ??
JJ : sir .. Actually I am already out of my home town.. so any how I won’t be meeting my family until I take a vacation..:) so I thought why don’t the person who has such  a chance … let him / her enjoy his / her weekend..

IVW1 : hmm oh I see.. so for the SAKE of your COLLEGUES .. who ACCORDING TO YOU are like our FAMILY  !! u used to work on WEEKENDS .. (  thinks in the mind : What a Crap fellow  he is )
JJ ( Proudly ) : YES SIR !!! ( and a beaming smile comes to his face  J  ) .. and u know sir.. What confusion did my boss had to face because of this once?? he thought that I am in –efficient and that is why all my colleagues enjoy on weekends and I have to come to office.. hahahahah .. Can u believe that.. ?? hahaha J
at that time he even said that ki if you work like this I Will fire you out the first chance I get.. !!
I/VW2 : oh.. so u didn’t tell them the truth.. ??
JJ : sir !! How can I ?? If I would have told them the truth..some one else’s job would have been threatened by me.. this thing I didn’t want to happen ..so I kept quite.. just said.. “ I Am sorry , it won’t happen in future.. “ !! and handled the situation..myself.. !!

I/VW 1 &  I/VW2 now realize the actual cause of his lay off !!! so in order to end the i/vw they  ask him few final questions ..:

I/VW1  : hmm So for your colleagues for whom u took such a risk and handled the situation.. !!what was their  reaction to when you got the pink slip and they came to realize that you won’t be sitting  next to them from next day onwards..???
JJ : sir , they were very much worried about me sir.. .. they  fully consolidated me for  10 min.. Asked me what happened and what did u talk to your boss ?? On what criteria  you got a PS.. etc etc..Chekced that criteria for their names.. so that they can join me for a job hunt.. (like a friend in need is a friend indeed )..when they checked that they were not fitting the criteria , they consoled me again and since they were feeling a bit uncomfortable due to my situation.. they went to cafeteria to take a break.. !! they started chatting on their mobile phones that JK is laid off. JK is laid off.. I am sure they would have been finding a job arrangement for me.. thru their contacts !! u know they even said that in case I need any help .. I can always contact them..!! ) can u believe that.. In todays’ world can u find such a gud pair of friends?? {He beams again with a smile}

I/VW2 : no ..no not At all .. in fact  I TOO have NEVER EVER SEEN such collogues in my experience.
so how are your associates now ?? do u chat with them on  a regular basis ..
JJ: yeah yeah sir.. definitely.. in fact since they were busy with their work loads..they couldn’t call me.
but I called them just 4- 5 days back …. They were talking to me . but suddenly an urgent issue came to them , so I handed up the phone and said that he will cal me back.. err. I guess the issue is not yet solved so that might be the reason  he hasn’t called me yet.. !! But he will call very soon !! he is my best friend in company .. ( beams again )

( I/VW1 & iVW2   by this time have now realized HIS MISTAKE  and for them a person like JJ will be a threat to their company)

I/VW1 & iVW2 : hm I see. .. so ok Mr. JK .. We are done with you.. we will get back to you very soon..!!Thank you !!
JJ : thank you sir .. ( and he leaves ) !!

5  days are over and Mr JJ is still waiting for the call  from the company.. .. he has told the situation to his wife .. And the wife has again started teasing him regarding to find a job etc.. what a waste person , I am married to etc etc..
this has made Mr. JJ to apply on internet for a 13^th attempt.. we wish that 13^th which is considered  to be unlucky for some …turns up lucky for him !!!!
