Zindaki........ ka.. Safar....Hai Suhana (Part 1)

July of 2006 with lot of aspirations grads from primere institutes across india came to tri star electronics company to work with latest technologies. As with every fresh grad, each of us were worried what lied ahead. Most of them being software guys coming to an electronics firm were confused if they would be able to survive.

After a week of cultural training where we were trained culturally. Culturally i meant, from techies to apes... by making us wear Suits and Ties.. teaching the way of the mongolian tribes where tri star was from. telling us why we should respect them. We were also thought a tribal song, that is the official song for tri star in their native language.


The Apes were ready, we were headed to a resort AKA forest with trees and rides and other usual stuff where we can play and let them know of our behaviour ( ;) ) It was fun all day playing and jumping from here and there.

Then there was ususal technical training for a month, went in a typical classroom style. All the usual stuff happened... persuading the trainer to leave the class early... mocking students in the class... i was called the Garbage Collector ;). We used to pay Solitare and Space Invadors as they were the only games on the Systems :( , management wanting to remove the games from PC's, Students.. sorry newly hired employees rebelling to that idea....it was fun for a month... once the technical training was over...we were put to mini projects

Mini project was good. Good i say in a past tense because most of the people who changed their project from their mini project to something else have felt the same... some one said the work was good.. some said the team was good... but the past is irreversible... and so is present... Well after the mini project we were ranked and placed according to our "wishes" or so they said in some cases.

In the next part ..... Crocodile Festival...
