Eyes Speaks.


Well, I had to dive into Google search engine when I was asked to write something about a women. Especially about a 21 year old girl. Huh! Not 21 year old but 21 year young and charming girl who has the ability to drags the attention of majority guys of all ages. 

And coming to describing a girl I'm no Chetan Bhagat, No Ravinder Singh and No Durjoy Datta to master the art of hitting the right button all the time. But I hope I get close to them at some point of time. 

Those two eyes that matters to me. I saw her on Facebook. She looks damn cute. She has a good name. She is now a good friend of mine. And that's all I can say for now. 

I just wanted to unveil the picture to all my readers that kept me struggling constantly for the last 72 hours. I was unable to take my gaze off. I don't know why. But I can't really help it. 

And Voila!!  



Stunning! Isn't it?! 

If you don't find it stunning it's your own problem I feel sorry for your wrong choice. But I loved it with all my heart. 

Those two eye lids having a lot to say and yet looks pretty cool and normal. 
Those two well shaped eyebrows makes me go all mad.
That perfectly crafted nose makes me excited.
That small red bindi on her forehead was simply cute.
Her chirpy talks makes me love her more than everything.
Her pics and covers tells me she loves being trendy.
Her absence makes me nostalgic.
I loved it. I loved it. And I loved it. 

I guess the above lines can be nominated for a poem. I strongly believe this will be the first poem I had ever written in my life. And I don't think it's that bad at all. 

You cannot be Jeet Thayil with the very first attempt. But for now I feel happy for making a debut in this genre too. :D I wish I could write more and better poems hereon.

Note: Do comment your views on my first poem at the space provided below. I really wanted to know if you have anything to say. I would really appreciate your participation. 

Thank you.

LIT FOR LIFE 2013 (DAY-2)


After the press conference at The Leela Palace. All the speakers and organizers moved to Mutha Venkata Subbarao Concert Hall at Lady Andal, Chennai. I must say Day-1 was a huge success. The count was huge. And I have earlier made a blog post of what happened on Day-1. 

The expected inflow on Day-2 was totally high and some thought its hard to get a seat throughout the day. Thanks to the early morning showers. It poured in major parts of Chennai and that made it difficult to many of them to turn up for the sessions. I'm Glad I could make it to the venue on-time. 
I waited for a good 15mins to make things clear and finally when I entered the Audi on Day-2 there are hardly 40 people inside and half of them were organizers. So I chose to sit very close to the stage so that I can have a good view of Ravinder Singh, Varun Agarwal and also Shreya Sharan. 

Before the event got started they have shown some Advertisements of THE HINDU which I never bothered to take a look at. They were reasonably good. In fact I like the way the students were given a task of debating a particular issue with a perfect parliamentary behavior. Instead of debating the students starts fighting. And that's how Indian Parliament works. 

SESSION-1: 

THE GREEN ROOM (WENDELL RODRICKS INTRODUCED BY RANVIR SHAH)

Wendell Rodricks is a fashion designer based on western Indian region of Goa. He has been listed among one of the top 10 designers in India.

Wendell Rodricks in Conversation with Ranvir Shah. 


Ranvir Shah introduced him and they went through the slides of Wendell Rodricks famous designs and he went on explaining how it all happened. Some Aha-moments he unleashed during the process. Majority are half nude and so I like them mad. Actually they were really good. Especially the Blue tank one. I loved it. 

POP FRICTION (SIDIN VADUKUT, JUGAL MODY, RAVINDER SINGH WITH LALITA) 

Sidin Sunny Vadukut is a columnist, writer and blogger from India. In January 2010, Sidin's debut novel Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese was published. 

Jugal Mody believes in fiction. Before handling web and social media for Filmfare and Tehelka, he worked in gaming. As a rule, he only writes to feel like a dog sticking its head out the window of a moving car. Toke is his first book. 

Ravinder Singh is an Indian author. He has written two novels entitled I Too Had a Love Story, and Can Love Happen Twice?. Both of them are run away best sellers.


This conversation between these 3 writers is one among the lolifying conversations of the day. Sidin and Jugal Mody were at their best. They made hell lot of fun on-stage. People were just clapping and shouting for all the fun that has been made by these two. 

WRITING FOR THE WORLD's YOUNGEST NATION (LALITA IYER, VEENA VENUGOPAL, VARUN AGARWAL IN CONVERSATION)

Varun Agarwal had mastered the art of tackling Indian Aunties in a whole different way. When ever Indian Aunties find him on-stage they were all geared up to take a full 200% revenge on him for his 1st published work titled "How I braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company" which is a National Best seller and now in it's third printing. 



This session was seriously set on fire when an old lady threw a bundle of questions towards him and the way he responded and the old lady isn't pleased with this response. And to make things worse an 21 year hot chick asked a new set of questions to varun and that's enough to make him irritated. He kept answering all the questions that are ahead of him and wonders why people aren't getting his point right. And to wind up the session Lalita unleashed the title of Varun's second book as "How An Aunty in a Blue Saree asked him a bunch of Questions". And it's a wrap. 

COOKING UP A STORM: THE SECRETS OF GREAT FOOD (ROCKY SINGH, MAYUR SHARMA, CHEF DHARMEN MAKAWANA AND PASCAL DUPUIS IN CONVERSATION WITH FARZANA CONTRACTOR)

Rocky as the name says he just rocked the show. He came dancing on stage and started up in his own style. "Highway on my plate" And this conversation went about what makes a good restaurant and what makes Indian dishes differ from the other Countries. Funny part is that The Leela Palace Vs Delhi Street Food went on. And the audience were applauding for the Delhi all the way.



 ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER OF THE HINDU LITERARY PRIZE 2012

After calling up Nilanjana Roy and a few more on stage they started creating some kind of fuss between who is going to be the winner. By eating up some time and making the audience irritating enough they realized that its time for the announcement of the winner and here we go.



Jerry Pinto wins THE HINDU LITERARY PRIZE 2012 for his "EM And the Big Hoom"

Huge round of applause followed after the announcement of the winner. Much deserved prize for that man.

KINGDOM OF DREAMS

Shriya Saran enters the stage. Gooooossshhhh. She is damn Beautiful. More than that it's makeup that made her look so fair. Seeing her such close is always there in my wishlist and that's how it got fulfilled. Jerry pinto can't really help his joy for the win and he thoroughly enjoyed talking to Shriya and Sharmila Tagore.



Thus it started with My dear Bapu and ended with Kingdom of Dreams. 

The event organizers came out to thank the audience and the speakers for making this event a huge success. Yeah. I agree it's a super hit. I can give a rating of 3.5/5.

And that's a wrap.

Thank you :)

LIT FOR LIFE 2013 (DAY-1)


Hello everyone. Good morning/Good Afternoon/And Good evening. For the first time I have decided to open up myself to all my readers in this format. I have been contemplating over the current trend that we live in. When a friend of mine said that I write rubbish in my blog all the time and waste the precious amount of time that I have for now when everyone are worried about the results and placement opportunities. All I do is just write some shit which none cares to have a glare at. He says simply. 

There isn't much to brag about my days in Chennai. Hardly people around me and the ones who catch up with me daily on Facebook realizes that I do nothing other than hanging out with friends to all the new malls which shows up every 6-10months. And yes. They are absolutely right. In addition with endless number of Burgers, Fries and Coke at Mc Donald's. and a few pics that I upload on facebook. And this is what I did for the last 43 months. I regret for wasting much time with all these which makes absolutely no sense.

I realized what I have missed all these years and now I never wanted to miss any of the opportunities that comes my way. And that's how "Literature Fest" came into news. This kind of Literature festivals happens every year at different corners of the Country and the first I heard is of Jaipur LIT Fest. Where the name of Controversial writer Salman Rushide came into news. Some political parties protested not to allow him. I can't possibly pay a visit to Jaipur for the fest. Money factor has its role to play. I remained calm. Waited for such events to happen in Chennai. Thanks for Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook for letting me know what's happening round the world. I came to know the Chennai schedule and set my plans on it. 

The day has arrived and I made my way to Lady Andal School, Chetpet, Chennai. It was far beyond my expectations. The Auditorium has enough capacity and I have found a comfortable push back seat. 



Dramatist Yog Japee and actor Rahul Bose read from 'My Dear Bapu', a selection of letters compiled by former West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi. And that was an interesting one if you are a good observer while I'm not. When the exchange of words is happening between Rahul and Japee I have seen people laughing for the humor it has in the on going conversation. I had no clue what's happening there. Though it was going in English I found it extremely difficult to go with the same rhythm. I have lost a bite there. And the following happening left me dumbstruck.

VARUN AGARWAL ARRIVES: 

When I was fumbling with the words I saw a guy rushing towards me and pointing his finger to the seat next to me whether it is available or someone is coming. 

Ya you can. I said. 

He closely looks like Varun Agarwal I thought. And I'm sure he is not the man I was thinking about. 
  
5mins passed by. I still had a feeling that something is going wrong. Who is he beside me.?! I wanted to clarify whether he is from Bangalore?! I gathered some courage to speak to the one next to me. But he turned his gaze away. 

3mins passed. I have logged onto my Facebook profile and when I was flipping through the updates I have found this guy "Varun Agarwal" posting a pic with his friends stating that he was in Chennai for the LIT FEST. 

Gobsmacked!! 

I had hit the like button in my mobile and turned towards the one next to me and he was looking at the Notifications for the same pic which I had hit the like. With that I have got this man as Varun Agarwal (Author of How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company") 

I have no time to lose. I responded quickly. 

Hey are you Varun Agarwal????! I whispered. 

Yeah. He replied. 

Nice to meet you. I extended my hand. 

And you are supposed to take part in the conversation tomorrow?! Isn't it?! 

Yes. Thank you. He replied politely. 

5mins later he rushed out for attending a call. And I did the same in seconds span to inform my close mates what had just happened. At the end I have managed to get my 2nd copy signed by him and also shared a pic with him on my very poor 1.3 mega pixel camera. First time I felt bad for not having a camera. I wish I would buy a good one very soon. The sessions followed as planned. And that's the end of the day-1 at LIT FOR LIFE 2013.

Panel of experts on Day-1.

 
  
Had an Aloo Tikki meal at Mc Donald's City Center and Sub of the Day at Subway. Stuffed enough for dinner too. And back to home by 8 sharp. 

Excited about the Day-2 sessions where Ravinder Singh and Varun Agarwal will take part in two different conversations. Would love to hear more from them. 

If you are in Chennai do pay a visit and know what's happening. These people are too difficult to ignore.

"Love" Chapter-4


6 months passed by and now I have found myself nowhere. Her memories didn't go away. They were still fresh and so close to my heart. I want to get back to her at any cost. It was those days where social networking hasn't created any kind of remark in India. System with an internet connection is nearly close to a wonder. Land line is the only possible way for me to get her into contact. Mobile phone also seems to be a billion dollar question. So I have no choice left. I finally gathered courage to call her. What if her mother picks the call?! Okay. What if her father picks up the call?! 

Okay. Lets hope nothing of such would happen in the very first attempt. I have to listen to her right now. And that anxiety called her. 



Tring. Tring. Tring. Tri. I waited for sometime to hear the one at the other end. I mastered the art of recognizing Anu's voice in a group of whole. So it's no big deal here. 

"Hello" Whoz this?! Sounded Anu with in her chirpy tone.

Thank god. It's Anu. Not her mother and not her father who picked up the call. Anyway I felt thankful to Sai Baba at that time. Offering coconut at temple this Thursday is now confirmed.

Me: Hey Anu. Ankit here. 

Anu: OUCH!! Ya. What. Tell me?! 

Me: How are yo Anu?! I'm missing your company very badly. Please don't take me wrong. I Have done nothing wrong. 

Anu: So?! What are you going to say now?! Make it short. I have no time. Mum is calling. 

Damn. Why in the world girls always lie the same words repeatedly to every guy?! Saying Mum is calling. Dad is coming?! Why?! Hell ya. 

Me: Okay. I have called you on a purpose. I actually wanted to say that I'm not going to continue in this school anymore. We have now got transferred to some other place in South. So I guess I won't be able to meet you here after. Hardly I have 2 weeks in hand. All I wanted to say is "YOU ARE THE BEST" The time and moments I had with you will be remembered till the last breath. I'm going to miss you. 

There is stun silence for a while. I'm waiting for her to respond. I want her to say something. At least some amount of care for me. 6 years of friendship and all I expect is some amount of affection towards me. 

Anu: Oh!! Where are you going?! And yes. I guess we won't be able to meet here after. You have been good friend to me. I feel sad for you leaving so soon. Hey. Mum calling. Talk to you later. Bye. 

Pch. I'm disappointed. I desperately wanted to get her out of my mind. I hated that moment when she wasn't really concerned about my leaving the city and school. I don't know what was really going on my mind but I'm sure this is going to happen for my own good. I got the train to the land of hopes and dreams. I wanted to achieve something good in life.

One day @ A Call Center.


YO WELCOME TO CALL CENA. said the HR on top of his voice sounding like I'm the dumbest guy he ever met. His looks and the way he dressed himself indicates the standard of the company. Coming to the dressing part there is a portion where I speak about GD which was another lol moment related to appearances.


I was at Internal Plaza (Named Changed) with a resume in hand and also with a limited amount of anxiety on what's going to happen next. I look better than ever in my formals with a neatly polished shoe which I consider it to be the basics while attending an interview. I can feel the weight I have put on these days by staying all time at home. The extra value meal that Mc Donald's offer now shows up. Thanks to Free Recharge. The moment I reached the company's reception I was totally dumbstruck. 

Receptionist: Hi maaaa. What you need maaaa??! (He made it a habit of tagging "maaa" at the end of each word which irked me later on). His Identity shows that he is one of the HR in that company. So I'm going to name him as HR-1 hereon.

Me: I have been told that there is an Interview today. And Ms. Chaya fixed an appointment at 2PM.

HR-1: Okay maaa. Chaya madam is not here now maaa. She will come at 4PM. So there will be an interview now. And did you bring your Resume maaa?! 

Me: Yeah. Here it is. I handed him my resume with no point of interest after the initial impression this company has created in my mind. 

HR-1 : Okay maaa. Wait for sometime they will call you for interview he said and went busy talking on his mobile and land line at the same time. 

Me: God! It took me 5mins to make him pronounce my name in a correct way. Huh! Where these creatures come from. My name isn't that hard to sound. What if he was sent to China?! Hahaha. 

After 12mins another guy came rushing out of the cabin and started talking to HR-1 saying " We have got enough of it for the day" All are nervous while coming to interview. And lets inform it to the manager."  I don't know whether he said the right words or not. But it sounded so clear to me. And he looks like a server in a hotel or as a watchman for an apartment. And the funny part is his ID card even showed me that he was an HR. I guess these guys are redefining the meaning of HR and their roles. 

And this HR-2 once again had a quick look at my resume and ordered me to follow him. And finally he asked me to wait for sometime in a cabin where there is nothing much to observe. It has a chair, Land line, A pen stand and a open window which can produce a constant buzz of the lorry's horn. And the cabin next to me might be the training room for the selected employees. It reminded me of my school days where they keep repeating the words at a high pitch. And that's when the HR enters the cabin. 

The worst fears came true. HR-2 is the one who is going to interview me for the next 30-60mins. And I'm on full flow to shatter him into pieces. I thought it's no big deal for me. Now, I'm in no hurry to get into this job as I'm totally disappointed with their policies and standards. And he kick starts the interview in an old fashioned way. 

HR-2: Good Afternoon. Mr. Errr. (This man once again got my name in a wrong way) Hell ya. 

Me: That's Okie. 

HR-2: What you did?! Engineering?! That's fine. I guess your college is over and let me tell you that you have chosen the right area. 

Me: What do you mean by area?! I can clearly understand that I have landed at a wrong place. I made those words in mind and let a smile at him. Oh!! Thank you. 

HR-2: So tell me about yourself. (The very common question one has to face in any interview) 

Me: I kept saying in a flow. I'm sure he might have noted some words in his mind to refer it in dictionary later on.

HR-2: Okay that's fine. What do you know about a call center?! In his very poor UK and US mixed accent. 

Me:  Responding to customers queries. 

HR-2: Okay. What are the 3 important elements one has to follow working in a CC. 

Me: I'm not sure. But Patience is what everyone needs. Isn't it. I said. 

HR-2: Yeah. There are 3 more. And they are Communication, Confidence and Voice. 

Me: Whatever, I don't give a damn. I made a mental note of it. Okay sir, That's fine is all what I said. 

HR-2: Okay. Now I will give you 5mins of time. And you have to speak about anything you want for a minimum of 10mins. He said and left the cabin pointing that he is very busy today and he will be back soon. 

Me: Man. This is going to be crazy. Actually this session of interview is turning out to be the funniest thing ever happened to me. And I started enjoying it. 

HR-2 Entered the cabin after 10mins. He might have stuffed a samosa or something else into his mouth.

HR-2: Ready young man?! He asked with some energy that samosa gave him. 

Me: I'm all ready. As per his instruction I spoke about "The Most Memorable Day in my Life" the names of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak startled him. I can sense that he is listening to those names for the first time in his life. And I'm slowly taking control over the conversation and also the interview. 

HR-2: Okay that's fine. This time he seemed really pissed off and starting hitting the pot saying that my communication isn't that good. And also took the extreme step of tagging me to the category of MTI Group.
and that's enough to set me on fire. 

Me: Oh! MTI?! Is it?! I can't believe. None of my trainees never said something like this. In fact they said that there is not even an inch of MTI in my accent. And I'm very much happy for that. I know what I speak. I learned the language in a proper way. I started arguing forgetting the fact that I'm just going to be at the receiving end. 

After getting pissed of he is now shocked. He has to do something to show his authority. And so he started boasting about himself. 

HR-2: You know Young man I remember my days when I see you. Okay. What's my age now?! Any Guess. 

Me: Something around 24-26. I gave it a burl. 

HR-2: I'm 29. And I have 10 years experience in this CC. And guess what my salary will be?!

Me: Something around 30-40K. I gave it a bit more. This ass don't even deserve 15K. 

HR-2: No man. It's 1.5L 

Me: You got to be kidding me. Is that your Annual Income?! 

HR-2: No ya. It's per month. You get a 15K with no experience. And I get 1.5L for my 10yrs exp. And I'm also the senior General Manager of this company. And I can deal any kind of problems with my finger tips. Tick. Tick. 

Me: Huh! This ass is now trying to take hold of the drivers seat. And I can't let him win so easily. 

HR-2: Before I could say anything he questioned me again. Guess what my Qualification would be?! 

 Is this an Interview or Amitab's Kaun Banega Karorepathi.?! 

Me: 12th pass?! or 10th?! Got stuck between these two. I'm sure this guy must be 12th fail and 10th pass. 

HR-2: Hahahaha. Laughed for a while. He looked horrible while laughing. No man. I have 4 degrees. 

I guess he might have mastered the habit of uttering lies with ease. And also making fool of everyone who comes for an interview. 

Me: Oh!! That's really great. Which Degrees?!

HR-2: I have done my B.Com, B.E, LLB, and LAW. And I have worked for nearly six months in Marine and got an handsome pay of 85K in the very first month. That's my track record.

I'm almost got stunned. How come one can fool many in this format?! Is he mad?! 4 degrees?! 10 years experience in CC and still his age now is 29. Surely he is trying to make me a fool by his irrelevant tactics.
God stop this moron.

Me: Oh!! That's fantastic sir. How could you manage to do that in less time. (I said. I have improved as an actor for clearing the gateway for an easy escape)

HR-2: Huh! That was the kind of dedication that we used to put back then. Now it all has changed. Any way I have another task for you.

And he kept a pen front of me and asked me to sell this pen to an UK citizen citing that I'm one among the citizens of UK.

Me: I did something which came at the point of time. And to worse the situation he said some useless DANNY expansions which is an absolute shit.

Huh!! He is testing my patience now. I want to get out of the cabin right then. I'm on hungry and this man is having loads of samosa's in the intervals he takes during the process.

After 15mins of interview which can even be called as interrogation he took a notepad near to his desk and started scribbling SALARY. With that I came to know that I have sealed a Job in this Company under this useless ass.

HR-2: So Young man. What Salary are you expecting?!

Me: Something around 15-20K.

HR-2: Ow. That's a big ask. I can promise you 10K initially and you can take your salary to heights by performing well so that you can get incentives.

Oh!! Okie. You dick. You interviewed me this long for just 10K and all you say is that I need to get training under your guidance for 12 days. This is going to be shit again.

Me: Okay sir.

HR-2: There are 3 shifts a day. Here are the timings.

Shift-1: General Shift: 9:30AM-6:30PM 

Shift-2: UK Shift: 4:30PM-1:30AM

Shift-3: US Shift: 7:30PM-4:30AM 

Note: US Shift will be having pick and drop facility and Dinner will be provided by the Company itself.

In which shift you would like to work?! 

Me: US seems alright to me. 

HR-2: Okay fine. I will put you in one of the companies which are under my control. Now you better book your slot by paying 500 bucks. And you can pay the remaining 5000 in the next 12 days. 

Me: WHAT??? 5500??! WHY?! 

HR-2: It's for your training purpose. We train you in mastering British and American accent in the period of 12 days. And you have to pay that. Usually we don't give training to everyone unless and until they are poor at communication. You seemed to be poor at English. And so we want to brush your English well so that you can have a bright future in our company. 

Fuck. You train me for your own purpose and I have to pay for that?! And you say that I'm no good at English. Okay. I'm not good. At least I'm okie with the language. Not as poor as yours. I'm going to kick you anytime now. I kept saying these in my mind. 

Me: Okay sure sir. I really worry about my communication at times. Thanks for the training scheme. 

HR-2: Okay. Be fast. There is only one slot available. The quicker you book the better for your future. So pay now. 

Me: Okay. I will think about it and let you know by tomorrow. Thank you sir. 

HR-2: No. No. You have to inform me within an hour. I have no time. or else someone is going to seize your job. 

Me: Okay sir. It was nice meeting you. I don't need this job. Thank you very much. I finally said. 

HR-2: Again Gobsmacked. He quickly recovered and said think about it. It's going to be your future and it's in your hands. 

Me: Sure Sir. Thank you. 

This man asked me about what is GD?! Group Discussion is all what I know. Correcting me he said it was Grooming Development. 

And this Grooming Development means change of life style into corporate standards. With some decent dressing and behaving which this 10yrs experienced man lacked completely. 

Finally I came out of the office and let out a huge sigh of relief. I really loved this interview for many reasons. I see in movies where the hero comes into action with a Resume and certificates in hand and will be hunting for job. And now I'm finding myself in the same position. Sealing a job is never such easy. But when you have the stuff you get the confidence like what I have done with this interview. Usually people opt to go for the training by paying the sum of 5K and joins. I can't really do that. I can't give away my good resources in one single shot.

This is not my area. Criteria has to be met. Never lose hope. There are hell lot of opportunities in our Country. Make use of it. And for now I had another copy of my resume in hand and started searching for another company.

Dream Company


Basically having the second largest percentage share of world population we largely depend on outsourcing jobs. I mean Multi National Companies where the jobs are outsourced. Just like Christopher Columbus's discovery of America.  And there is a history how the jobs are outsourced to India and many other countries.

To be precise every single Indian will be dreaming of stepping into an MNC and earn some handsome pay. They look at the kind of Infrastructure they maintain and the automatic coffee vending machine will be taken by surprise. And what not?! They find everything stunning. But all they do is a "labor work" for Countries like US of America and UK. They don't call them a "labor" They call them as Professionals in Engineering.

Indians have brains and US of America has skills to make the best use of Indian brains. And so they are leading the companies from the front and we keep working for them and getting complacent with what we have. They are the drivers and we are happy to take the back seat. 

When a college drop out from Silicon Valley became world's richest man at the age of 25 by having a large share in Disney and also the Co-Founder of Apple. He reinvented the usage of Technology back then. 20 years down the line Apple Inc. is now a brand. People can't help uttering "WOW" once they hold any product that carries a brand symbol Apple at the back. How in the world can one who laid the foundation stone for Apple can be dismissed out of the company?! And that's how it started. In a span of 5 years Steve is back into Apple when the company was hitting rock bottom. His Innovation has once again proved why this man stands tall among others. And that's how Mac came into existence. One who happened to know about Steve can only realize what a Dream Company should be like. Mark Zuckerberg a website owner is now in the race for getting on to the top of the world.

Where is the Steve Jobs and where is the Mark Zuckerberg of India?! They are not born rich. All they did is Implementation. They Implemented their ideas and that's how it worked. We Indians have unlimited ideas in stock and yet we fail to execute. 
 
Coming to Dream Company concept. I still wonder how "Sine" and "Cos" Theta can change the fortunes of one man and decide his fate in the company. Package does make a difference. Isn't it?! Every company comes up with their own values and strategies to pick the best out of the whole. Some may back the idea. But I'm skeptical about their procedures.


For Instance I take a company (Which can be one of my dream Company) and lets see what makes a huge difference. 

Manhattan Review: (My Ideal Organization for Instance)

The main purpose of this Company is to train the students at the soft skills part as well as in the Quantitative side. The role is to guide the students for clearing competitive exams like GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, etc. 


Qualities and Characteristics of Manhattan Review:

1.You don't really have to work out of your skins for the company all through the days and nights.  All your work is to spend sometime out there.

2.You will be assigned a task just like in any other companies and all you have to do is give it your 100% every day.

3. There will be no pressure factor. Unless and until you failed to master the role that you are in. The case is different working for an MNC. There is always a pressure factor when you expect that you are the eligible candidate to go onsite and the one who is totally dumb will be seizing the opportunity of going onsite. And that will certainly down your spirits and you eventually lack interest in working for the organization hereon.

4. Compensation will be quite satisfying as you are dealing with the best organization which trains the students in mastering the area of Quants and vocab skills.Trust me this one is way better than the other Coding and Development business. You have none to answer here. But in case of S/w company. You have Team Lead, Project Lead and Team Manger to answer. Your increment will largely depend on what these people give. Rating anything less than 3 can run you out of the company very soon.

5. You will come across wide range and variety of people who can provide their unique ideas which certainly leads to discussion and the outcome will be nothing less than Innovation. 

6. Recruitment process is something close to what all the MNC'S does. They have created such a mark so that none of the organization tries to dig into ones individual talent. Instead they ponder over ones stats in their academics. It makes no sense to me. Either the company once you are in. 

7. You have the world ahead of you to explore. You constantly keep updating yourself on "what's happening around". Because none of the MNC guy knows anything beyond the SDLC. The Coding, The Testing and The Deployment stuff. They are bound to be annoying with their copy paste techniques. Believe me, What happens if there is no "Google" for at least of 10 days. Wonder what these Software Engineers can do with out Google.

Human Resources of Manhattan Review:

As per my knowledge the role of HR Dept. is for balancing act. They are the ones who take complete care of recruiting the employees, Salary packages, Increments and Annual reports. 

To compete with other companies they have their own strategies. They keep shuffling the employees with the annual reports and thus create new opportunities for the freshers. This is how the HR Dept. works in maintaining the Company on top node.


Set your Dream Company. No wrong working for MNC. Everyone is here to make something. The one who identifies his true purpose will explore his opportunities. And the one who fails to do so will certainly end up working for so and so company and lead an utterly discomforted life.
