Review of Time called- QuarteR

Alok Harsh — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:54:33 +0000

Its been exact three month since i joined HPCL one of the Navratna listed company in India. In last 3 month a lot has happened in my life, transformation from Senior engineer in ISPAT to Sales officer of HPCL krishna district( A.P.). Lets summarize some facts of last three month all across me :

1) Terror of terrorist: Bomb blast has become a usual thing in India, with every attack govt. mesmerizes their phenomenal dialogue of condemning the terrorist and blah blah. Attack on Mumbai(where i was last 1 year) in july and attack on delhi once again claimed many innocent life. On the other hand terrorist like Kasab is sitting in one of the most secure place in India enjoying chicken-biryani, shame on you Indian Govt. for condemning only on terrorism.

2 )Cricket: Dhoni & Co. is going through one of the worse nightmare these days. You may give excuse regarding absence of Some key player but the most valuable thing is that you were unable to retain the crown for less than 1 year of being a number-one cricket playing nation.

3)Travelling: Last quarter i travelled a lot Pune-Mumbai-Vijayawada-Hyderabad-Delhi and thirty village/town/city around Vijayawada. On an average 1000 Km in a week, it really hurts man , developed some sorts of pain in my back. Whoever says there is no work in PSUs kindly take some feedback from me(Kaun kambakht kahta hai PSU mein kaam nahi hota). Last 90 days i had meal in around 30-40 different restaurent still couldn’t figure out a regular place to feed myself, lets get going however it is.

4) Personal learning: No doubt last quarter i learn a lot of thing in life and gone through lot of up and down. I learn Car driving( still i don’t have any DL) , i can read Telgu language(Obviously chala chala confusing language) and still a lot to learn in this, improves knowledge in MS Office but the toughest thing what i learn is to digest Andhra-Meal willingly. Yes, i learn Inspection/sampling/SOP/ODMT and many other tool what my job require me to know, i learn to meet different people with smile(though i never feel gud at heart). Here at Vijayawada i don’t have friend at home or office i have just roommate and colleague with whom it is not so easy to mix up. Out of several other thing whatever i learnt the most important is i learn to behave like an OFFICER who understand his responsibilities and work hardly rather sincerely for his company. Even in worst of my dream i had never thought that i have to take so much endurance in any PSUs job (thats the life of sales officer).

5) Ups & Downs: “NTPC calling” this was one of my dream sentence which i was carrying since long time. Fortunate to clear NTPC but unfortunate that i couldn’t join. Sometime u can’t control these happening. Just want to do something in technical field but i am destined to do something else here pure marketting man no relation from technical aspect. Sometime i enjoy and sometime curse those HR people who put me in Sales. Vijayawada is complete telgu spaking place difficult to mix up with these people. Anyway mitr got placed in HPCL by these time and i am damn happy for him, as in my last post also i pointed how close we were in college.

What next: I will be handling an entire district HPCL outlet here from now onwards, area allocation has been done now.Difficult phase gonna start so lets face it. Wanna give my level best for coming month and still if i won’t enjoy then definitely gonna prepare for GATE exam ( I still love technican line a lot) so that after a lapse of 10 year i shouldn’t have any regret over my decision. Its always what you choose to be! Situation will always be under thumb if i have a clear cut determination. When you want something very badly you will get it. So just do it man once again for personal and professional satisfaction.

DeparturE Time

Alok Harsh — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:06:52 +0000

So finally i cracked HPCL officer trainee selection exam that brings me in a pool of EEE guy who make through PSU.Its been around nine long and marathon month of my life where i link myself with full dedication and enthusiasm. Some people say that you don’t require to glorify PSU a lot ,but for me it was a kind of dream what i was chasing once HG make it to the Reliance Power. In Feb. PK too left for ZS and i was the last EEE guy in ISPAT, but neway it all ended on happy note. So nomore challan procedure, nomore sleepless night before exam and perhaps nomore interviews. But one thing always comes in my mind, whether i will be able to make justice with the knowledge what i acquire in the pursuit of cracking PSU. Whether i should become a lazy govt. employee who enjoy his salary without contributing well enough. I do not think that i have acquire these knowledge in order to crack PSU only, no man i wanna make use of my knowledge, cognizance,awareness in electrical field to a good cause.

So what next? Is this such a big question, ofcourse not. Some people advised me to goo for marketting job and settle for entire life and but as an engineer i find my role more prominent in refinery field. I talked a lot about new innovation and technology field in oil sector in present scenario.So its the time to follow my word and put heart to learn/undersatnd the new innovation and optimum utilization of available resources.

Family: My brother is likely to be engaged in next month and i am damn happy to imagine about this marriage. This is gonna be first marriage of my family and definitely its gonna be colourful. “Bhabhi” a new member is gonna get attached with my family, i just hope she enjoy her lifetime stay with us. Its gonna be lot of fun n booze along with some of my friends whom i expected to attend this marriage ceremoney.

I an little unhappy on Mitr exclusion in HPCL . I think he deserve some space in my blog. Mitr and I were a interim friend in college, we were always together throughout 4 year. Certainly he is my best friend of college ,we did almost everything together from EEE classroom ,Dota, Kesri project,elective paper and all. This is the second time when we lost opportunity to get connected via inclusion in same company. But destiny got something else for both of us, though i am on other side of shore but Mitr is still trying to fight with his situation. GOD kindly help him to fulfill his dream as soon as possible.

Departure time: Yes two more days left in ISPAT tomorrow i am gonna distribute sweet to my department-mate. Perhaps now it’s time to reveal where i am going exactly. I guess some of the people will be fully surprised and some may feel it shocking too. But me too gonna miss some people very badly,actually during my staying in ISPAT i had developed some lovely relationship with some colleague. But thats the bitter truth of corporate life what we all have to obey with full heart. Actually i never expected to come out like this from ISPAT , i got to learn a lot over here. Not only in terms of technical specialisation but mostly on mental terms. Yes here i developed a desire to fight with the current situation,desire that keeps me towards accomplishment of task, and desire to accept endurance for good cause. Last one year was defining moment of my life, rather say life changing moment . I am gonna miss some ISPATian and from the bottom of my heart i thanx “Gautam Khera” and “Rugved sir” who keeps me on right track through these 1 year. Thanx GOD for letting me achieve this trophy for myself and my family.

Pursuance and following your dream

Alok Harsh — Tue, 17 May 2011 13:11:13 +0000

Today is one of the special day for me. Yes now i realize one of my biggest mistake. I never plan well how to pursue my dream or how to follow them precisely i never give a thought for final kill shot. Making a small dream is major crime, man’s character is reflected by his dream and attitude and several blah blah. Of course in this world we all dream high & big and we don’t require an advertisement by shahrukh khan for this,actually it is the natural feeling what we all had in our mind since birth. The passion of accomplishment of your dream fills you with such joy that every move you takesin that direction makes you feel nice. It doesn’t matter how much sacrifice you have to make for that, how much habit you have to give it up for this but in the day when you will turn your dream into reality it will compensate for every other thing that you had ever bear for this. One wise man has told that every success has a price to pay and in my verdict success is where you convert your dream comes true. Today i have a dream in my heart, to crack BARC interview and get through the one of the most prestigious technical institute of INDIA. Though i had prepared a lot to get through any reputate PSU but honestly the feeling and thrilling of getting through BARC is much above all this. I want to set this benchmark for me, so how to plan for this interview. Most probably in the coming month i will make through HPCL and can settle for my life in OIL field. But my heart is still attached in the village and i really want to improve the irrigation facility in village. With the help of technical knowledge whatever i acquired in personal and professional life can’t i take even a single step to improve the irrigation facilty? No, i am not telling that i will improve the situation drastically but can’t i upgrade it marginally? Yes man i can do it, and i am not going to die without accomplishment of this dream. Yes i lack consistency while following my own routine, i don’t bear a nice tempo towards accomplishment of my target and yes i am not a person who is so deterministic in his approach. But i promise to myself i will try my level best to crack this BARC interview, i badly want this as i believe nice idea can be received from nice person. But can i help myself to keep me constantly motivated towards my own ambition and dream. As per verdict of Dr. A.P.J. kalam every individual must possess a dream in his heart and must try to fulfill them sincerely and accordingly. Today i show some courage to describe them publicly and now i am going to set my own condition and restriction to achieve this sound dream. Nothing tastes sweeter than success and i love success above every other thing in life.

One of the worse Holi

Alok Harsh — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 08:10:07 +0000

Last year i was almost drowned to death in holi and ds year i am all alone in my offyc doing exactly nothing. It doesn’t seem like a festival days in offyc everything just perfectly formal.In order to give chance to one of my senior colleague to spend Holi wd his newly wedded wife and family i took all over on me to attend offyc on a day like Holi. Last year Holi was really colourful and joyful ,amidst final exam days we celebrated our holi with full joy and ecstatic mood. Can’t express how badly i miss all those thing,i got some other thing to discuss:

1)PSU – As i haven’t written last year almost so lemme have little glimpse of my interaction wd PSU exams and preparation.I attend a massive no. of PSU paper in this 1 year almost 8-9 paper and still w8ing for d wind to turn toward me.Till now cleared three written,final result of BHEL is out and i am also out from the final list.Expecting something different ds time.

2)Convocation- Nature & signature doesn’t change. Same is d case wd BIT that will not change its attitude to harass its student.Despite calling Apj kalam absence of proper arrangement of sound system spoil our mood as we were unable to hear his word accompanied by the long plus boring speech of V.C.Food arrangement was as hell as i can ever imagine.People were sitting all over the floor to have dinner that too wd their parent.I wish Aaj tak could have shown all these thing on T.V. Coming to +ve point it was really good to see all those friend together. I have never thought that it would give me such immense pleasure to meet those ppl agn. Dinner @ Madhuvan was full of fun and enjoyment and nostalgia was felt all around.we did almost everything in those 3 days what we did in 4 year.Lat but not d least i do played dota for 2 days & surprisingly my performance was not bad. Still miss d opportunity to play clan wd my full team of mitr hg murgi nehal…yes man i will miss this thing whole life.

3) World -cup- Obviously ds is going to be d last world cup of my most adorable darling Baba “Sachin record tendulkar “, who is on d verge of completing his 100th century in international cricket.But d performance of whole team overshadow his effort and talent.So far d journey of india in ds world cup is more than dissapointing only God can help them out.

4)Family- I never mention anything about my emotion and attachment to the family. Today i badly miss my family, yes i want to get a job near to the home, if somehow i could manage to get in Bokaro i will be so happy that i can’t describe. Atleast twice in a year i must visit my home once in Holi and other in Deewali.

That’s it for the day or most probably for a month. Writing a blog is very intermittent thing for me but still its a kind of good feeling when at d end u see u gt some nice memory to recapitulate via blog.

Moment

Alok Harsh — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:49:39 +0000

Many time we decide to take a step towards our carrier,personal life without actually knowing when to start.From now onwards for me “MOMENT means now”. Yes from now onwards i will try my best to execute my plan or aim from the very first moment it will strike out my mind.Success make u feel good,open new way of life,make thing look easy and healthy.On the other way failure makes u feel bad but that’s not the only truth what failure bring.It also makes u strong and direct u take a look over ur way of approach,guidance n knowledge towards life.”Life is not that easy” these word were always spoken by parent,brother,teacher but i just overlooked them and left my destiny on time and luck.As per my effort no complain with luck,infact failure is the best school of learning(depends on person also).
Now i have decided to learn from my mistake and come out as a real hard and a changed person who got spark in his stomach to achieve something.Looking at the statistics many great people were deprived of success for long time.Being successfull is not under your control,the thing what u can really control is your determination and effort to keep ur dream alive and come closer to it day by day.Kushal,Ram babu,Gangu even these people were rejected in many interview but now-a-day they are placed in one of the best company.No doubt collective effort of knowledge and rejecion and feeling of keep trying raise them to such place .But the master thing in these situation is trying and effort.Right now i want to step out from my current Job (dunno where) and i will keep trying again and again untill the day i will make my name attached with some big brand name company.I won’t be a nobody for long time,wanna get recognised in this world among my friend family and offcourse critics.So i will never give up ever in my life will give everything to get recognised and earn respect in my own eye.

Job life.

Alok Harsh — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:23:55 +0000

Its been around a month after i stepped into job life. Training program is generally meant for learning something that u will need to carry out on job.As i belong to my core enginnering sector thing coming easily in my way, nothing is different as i learnt in my btech degree (excluding size of appliances) what i ever thought.Culture of office is too down from my expectation many of the diploma holder ppl are working aatep ahead of engineer becoz of their experince what dey earned.Salary is little below to my expectation hope thing will get easy & balance once training period is over.Monsoon of mumbai is quiet good but we need to be ready all d time for rainfall.
The thing what i really notein office is u can’t survive in this job market after pursuing only bachelor degree.If u really wanna reach height than go for any master degree or phd. if u really wanna study more n more) ..Neway there is no limit of desire in life noone seems to be happy with his salary & package every1 just keep on demanding more n more…and this desire is the real motivation to work ..if u won’t desire will limit ur expectation den no improvement factor will come into existence. Being happy is good but being happy with some more target to achieve bring prosperity in life…..

Linking myself

Alok Harsh — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:58:00 +0000

Iam having the same dream in last three night that new semester has started, and i started to enjoy semester with my friend.Is it my eagerness for 7thsem(4th year) or i want to come out of my present situation while staying in hostel for summer.Wind is blowing opposite to my wish and will.Every morning or afternoon when i wake up i dont know what to do today,couldn’t figure out my plan to survive.These days i have developed a strong bond to myself,just think about yourself,now i dont care what people think about me.Do whatever comes in your mind make your own destination and follow ur own path.Becoz if u fail den also it will be ur mistake no need to blame other.One more thing that i realize ki never try to make a one-word evaluation about a person lyk(intelligent,bhaklol,bakc***) every1 has got some speciality which makes him unique.Actually all got something to deliver to society it only matter ki u know where exactly u have to serve ur pure services.The behaviour of student to step from student life to professional life is need to put some attention.Dont u feel ki more or less they behave like a prost***** to appear for selection in different company. Once u got selected in one company just stick to that instead of that for making more money & so called honour they run to other company.(plz dont mind its my personal view)Actually everyone is confused and nobody know their destiny so all just run behind the opportunity.No question of commitment to the company u placed or working,its how the professional lyf proceedes.So, there also people think about themselves without worrying about the reaction of other people and society.So i decided to start my professional lyf in college and i think and care onlyabout myself (Though its going to worth nothing).But the problem is my destination is not clear so path too.Sorrow of being alone in the hostel for summer doesn’t hurt me lot dont know why.May be it was expected or i have become little tough or i have become so careless to think about these non-sense thing.The thing had happened now it cant be retraced so better dont panic over fcs issue.It is result of my hardwork in DOTA that become destiny to stay in summer and bad luck for extending exam date.The only thing that hurt me ki i did not informed my parent about my back.But i will admit that too on right tym,can anyone tell me what will be that right time?

6th Sem Disaster

Alok Harsh — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:59:50 +0000

using wordpress after such a long gap ki i forgot own id & password.By the way its really a disaster time for me.
sixth sem almost over & only result left means “picture abhi baaki hai”. In bit d most important sem is 6th & amount of masti what i did in this sem is more than total of all the masti what i did in last five sem.Dota ruined me and finally i ruined myself.Some people were to help me out but i was not in a position to help myself.Many new thing happen with me in this sem.My mid-sem total was too less,almost half of the total what i got in first-sem.First time attendance in one subject was below 75%,& missed three lab classes too.I did not find any reason why should not i insult & punish myself.It is always hard to find punishment for yourself.This sem end within a fraction and i lost many thing in this short span.i lost my respect in my own eye,got insulted in many viva,one Prof. even ask me the meaning of my own name.I was always in a habit to blame institute but at this situation i find myself totally responsible for own state.Situation made me little depressed ,my confidence level is at zero point level.Dont know how to recover from this situation because once u lost confidence u lost everything. In this highly competitive world it is always hard to survive,people threw me far behind them .I was always a average student throughout my school ,college but at this time as per c.g.p.a. i will be in bottom 10.High chances of getting ‘d’ grade in 1 subject.For the first time i will be awarded fail in any of the subject that i learnt so far.I didnt respect time so time now time will take revenge.i have turn out to become such a person whom i was hating.To wake up at 1′o clock then got engaged in a game for the whole day & night.Didnt care the surrounding,even didnt care for myself.Its very easy to come out of a physical pain but the mental sorrow is very hard to handle.May be a gap of two & half month ease off my pain but in these holiday i will always face a nightmare of getting back in fcs paper.I m feeling sorry for myself.

Obama is my “CHELA”

Alok Harsh — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:21:51 +0000

Chela means student or Shisya in sanskrit ,and Obama is my Chela these were the word spoken by our Teacher.I have not seen such a big FEKU in my whole life all the time he used to remind us about his big-big very big contact.He is the person who bring computer in INDIA,how ridiculous.He might not be having personal computer .Why did he try to show-off all the time.Majority of people will never like such a person.He is well-supported by lord SHIVA and Jesus but lack blessing of Goddess Saraswati in terms of common sense how to make people agree by your word and behaviour.He is the person who never care his surrounding. Resides in INDIA and care about people of America,all the time talk about new US policy to ban outsourcing.America is having capitalist economy so they are recruiting people who will work for them at minimum price rate without compromising the skill involve to carry-out the task.Capitalist do not care for other they only look for their own sake why they have to worry if due to outsourcing some people are unemployed in their own nation.So,if they ban outsourcing then they will contradict their own policy of capitalism.
Generally, American are having enough opportunity to get job in their own nation.An average American’s financial condition is much better than an average INDIAN.They are already having Mutton and chicken and now they are looking for wine and whisky while on the other hand many Indian are unable to manage even bread and butter in their breakfast.And even in this condition our “Respected” teacher thinks they should not provide employment to We Indian .My dear teacher your blood is of American or Indian,why don’t you have feeling for our own country,our own people however they are rich or poor,literate or illiterate ,sound or dull they are Indian our own brother and sister we all have taken birth from the same soil.Don’t neglect your motherland its your soul responsibility to take care of this land where you born and bought up.This is not only for my teacher(preacher) but for all those who want to leave this country after getting big degree and want to get settled in other country.Its like “APNI CHAUKHAT KA DEEYA and giving light to neighbour’s house.Indian is our country and all the problem of this country are our problem and we have to sort it down.No-one should run away in tough condition take it’s problem like your own one.Never forget that ” JANANI JANM BHOOMISH SWARGA DAPI GARIYASI”.Nothing is better than your mother and motherland not even heaven. So,be Indian and good son of your mother and serve your motherland.

CHEAP POLITICS

Alok Harsh — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:30:16 +0000

Raj insulted Maharastra and Maharastrian insulted the whole nation.Why they people talk only in terms of “I”,”my” or “me” why not “we”,”our”.Everytime me,my family,my children and what about the rest.useless to say,these are political propaganda by Thackrey to make his name as like his uncle.But why Marathi people are finding their interest under his influence,why they have become so selfish.They find migrant from other state as their competitive and this is their anger so ridiculous.This is competitive world & u have to be prepare to take any tough competition.Be a man first,prepare urself to face the real challenge of life.Have they ever thought what is going to the condition when other state will also follow same philosphy.Localite of Karnataka won’t allow software Engineer from other place ,every 3 of 4 engineer in Karnataka belongs to other state some of them might be belonging from Maharastra ,so how they should be treated.India is a free country everyone has right to work in any part of country legally noone can stop them.Mahastrian are left with two option now either you force all person(from rich to poor) to leave their state and call all Marathis from all part of country to Maharastra and declare Maharastra as single nation and then make your own blind,illiterate rule.second is open your eye and try to understand the cheap politics of Thackrey family and respond like a wise man and never support them.Thackrey are not in a position of taking responsibility of all Marathi working in other state.imagine how will u feel when same action will be
taken against the marathis who are residing in BIHAR,JHARKHAND,U.P. because of any reason from occupation to education.u won’t find urself in comfortable position when “Tit for Tat”policy will be applied to you.So either don’t create any problem for migrant or get ready to accept the same action against Marathi working in other state.so,please don’t hurt our NATIONAL INTEGRITY.
