Company ki life aur Delhi mein masti

I had never ever thought that someone would say “Tu agla blog kab likhega?” And it happened :)

During the weekdays, I was a bit busy due to work and the weekend was just to have fun.

I had told about the starting 2-3 days of my internship in the previous post. Things changed quite well in the days that followed. I realized that these people have no regular internship program and so they are not accustomed to managing an intern. So, I thought of doing the needful myself. I started talking to everyone in the office myself and developed a friendly kind of a relation with my team members (3 employees of the company) on my own, so much so that I even referred to my boss as “O yaar” one day.

Due to the launch of a new product of the company last week (the product that I am working on… www.sms.webaroo.com ), there were a lot of meetings with the PM and a good presentation by the co-founder of the company. I even had to stay in office till 10 pm one day. But it was good to learn how these people plan their goals.

In these 3 years of studying engineering, I had never thought I will ever be doing fruitful long discussions with some project manager. But sometimes things turn out to be very different :)

The weekend was real fun. Saw two movies – bheja fry and cheeni kum (both were too good), and did lots of bird-watching. But we could not see even a single “single” girl. And one of my friends quite rightly questioned “Yeh ladkiyon ko aise hi ladke achchhe lagte hain kya?” to which none of us had an answer :)

Now a new week follows, and work begins again!!!

Next post will be coming very soon…tab tak tata

The start of my summer internship

I had this post written for the last 2 days but had thought of posting it now as otherwise you people would have not gone through the previous one which was a welcome package for you.

For those of you who are not aware of this, I am doing my summer internship in a software company in Delhi, and staying at IIT Delhi. If the first week at work was an indication, these two months will see me work more than I have done in my entire life put together.

I had always heard from seniors and elders that internship is a time when people have masti and don’t get much work to do…….ab ya to inka masti ka funda kuchh alag hi hai ya main hi ajeeb fasa hoon :)

I would like to share the experience of my first few days in the company. I was told to join the company on the 15th of May. I was a bit late due to the accommodation thing at IITD and reached around 2 in the afternoon. I had informed them about the possibility of a delay, so that was not a problem. When I reached and told that I am so and so and have come for internship, the man there pointed towards my working table and said “That is your table”. Nobody in the world can expect such a warm welcome!!! In two minutes I was called to some other room by two huge men (laga tha beta late aane ki wajah se dhulaayi hone waali hai)….but soon I got to know they were from the same team that I was going to be a part of. They were my kind of bosses who had to explain things to me.

Bas ho gaye shuru….jaise apna saara kaam mere se hi karaane waale ho!!!

They have a board there on which they mention what has to be done in the day, and don’t move until they complete their respective jobs…..may god bless them (and me too for these two months at least).

I asked my senior about the timings and got to know that they work very less – UNLIMITED!!! Jab tak kaam khatam na ho, jaana nahin……kya funda hai. I asked when I can leave and he answered 7 at least. Ek toh wahaan koi ladki nahin (I am the only intern there), aur phir shaam bhi wahin bitaao…..kahaan ka insaaf hai mere jaise bachche ke saath…….ae khuda….tu sun raha hai?????

This is too much for now……it is only this much that I can write in one go, and possibly more than enough for you to read…….another post coming very soon too……on experiences in delhi :)

Something about me!!!

Hey people…..fasten your seatbelts!!! Mayank Aggarwal is going to take you to a different world through his blog……This would have been the traditional way of starting a blog. But I want to make things clear right away……”desi banda, desi blog!” Yes, I am entering the world of bloggers. I don’t know where the inspiration to do this came from, since I am rarely into any activities related to books or long textual stuff.

Though I expect that only a select group of my friends and dear ones is going to be lucky enough to go through this fundoo piece of art, I would still introduce myself considering that some authors have got the readership they had never expected or targeted at.

I am Mayank, 21 years old (what this age means to a man will be clear from the posts that will follow). I am presently studying at IIT Roorkee, doing some degree most of my classmates love to do (I don’t understand why!!!). One of the most important things….i am from Chandigarh, which as many would agree, is the best city of our country.

I am lovingly (and now forcibly too) called ‘Gola’ by my friends in college……par kabhi kabhi hadd ho jaati hai, koi koi kudi bhi yehi naam bol deti hai. I say forcibly because some people don’t recall my real name when they see me. I love to be called ‘Aggarwal Sahab’, and when I don’t get to hear that from others, I call myself by that name :)

Enough of introduction thingy! There will be posts coming quite frequently. You are not forced to follow them, as obviously you wont be paid to do so :P
