Hello Friends,
I have just reached home from office and straight away sat on system to write this post.. well this topic is not like any other love topic but something different..
To create a context... I am currently not eligible to avail dedicated HCL transport for my daily travel to office..I have to use public transport.. yeah.. Metro, City Bus or shared Autos... so there are so many things which I see in public everyday.. new faces.. new acts.. new fights over seats in metro.. different type of people and what not.. but what I have seen today is something I felt can be share with you people..
To begin with, its not a new thing for me to see couples roaming in different ways in metro stations or in metro trains.. but today when one of these couples thought to showcase its love in front of crowd in a metro and that too continuously for 30 minutes.. that clearly shows the direction in which India is moving..
A girl and a boy most probably in their teens.. started their journey from Noida City Center and took the most sacred place in metro.. which is closest to the joints of two metro cars.. and as soon as they took their seats.. they started doing what a normal person would think n number of times before daring to do that.. and specially in front of so many people.. they sat in an intimate position and started hugging and kissing each other.. and people all around them, unfortunately that includes me as well, had seen what they were not meant to.. It could be easily guessed from our body language that none of us was comfortable while watching all this but we were unable do anything..
I was just wondering what the hell these two love birds want to prove.. what they want to showcase.. their love or what else??.. If they want to showcase their love, please we are not interested in that.. and I can bet that people who would be most interested to see, you won't like to even tell them let alone showcasing...
..
PS: I am not saying that showing love to your partner is wrong.. but showcasing it to such large audience.. its wrong.. and that too continuously for more than 30 minutes.. uffffff.. anyone could take their pic.. post it on social site.. and what all could be the consequences.. we all are very well aware of that..
Arey love shove karna hi hai aur woh bhi aisa toh, there are so many places where you can do all this.. and that too without offending anyone or breaking any law... For e.g.
1. Movie Theatre - Its best and safest place.. Enough Darkness for you people not to let anyone else see... or even if someone see they are least bothered about it.. (Try Morning show of some flop english movie on weekdays. :P )
2. Botanical Garden near Delhi University North Campus - Specially designed Jungle for such couples.. yup its a jungle only.. once you are in. there are so many places inside that lush green jungle where noone else other than who himself/herself come to hide can see you.. :P
3. Buddha Garden, Ridge Road near Karol Bagh - Similar to above but a little bigger.. little?? nopes.. its quite bigger than the above.. Here there are so many places that literally no one can find you.. :P
I don't know any places in Noida yet as I have just started travelling in public transport only. Prior to this I used to travel in dedicated company transport so never got any chance to explore or listen about these areas..
Well.. jokes apart.. this is not first time I have seen such thing happening.. but today was something exceptional.. so my only message to such couples that as we are Indian.. and we have seen lot of romantic movies.. we can guess a relationship by the way a boy or a gal hold each other.. (will discuss such postures in some other post later.. :) ) .. you don't need to showcase your love to each and everyone.. show it to your partner or to your parents and relatives.. and as I mentioned earlier.. you won't need to showcase it to them.. if its true love.. just tell them.. and I am sure they will understand :)
till next time.. Keep smiling.. :)

My first day at HCLC
PS: This post has been edited very recently. Names have been changed.. original addresses removed.. no identity of any person has been revealed in this post anymore.. thoda risky ho gaya tha yaar.. :P
My dear friends,
Finally, I have joined HCLC.. and I would say.. I am pretty happy about it.. though I am the only one in the whole batch of 24 persons who is on lowest salary package... :(
HCLC.. ufff.. baba.. company hai..ya kya hai.. raam jane.. miscommunication ki toh mine hai.. jitni miscommunication chaho utni karlo.. ab isey miscommunication bolo.. ya 'miss'-communication bolo.. dono hi chalta hai.. though another shock for me is that here too. girls ratio is not in favor.. its 4 to 20.. :( .. socha tha co. mein jake ek aad ladki mil jayegi.. par yahan bhi jhatka hi khaya..
waise mein jyada nahi likhoonga is post mein.. coz I read few code of ethics clauses present in joining documents.. where it is mentioned that if I write or say something offending about HCLC..It can go against me..though I am not going to write anything against them.. but still kuch na kuch toh hoga hi...
This post will quite be in a novelistic manner..(haan.. bhoot sawar hai novel likhne ka.. toh soch rahe hain.. yahin se shuru karen..).. khair Go through it completely as every dialogue has its own importance..chalo ji.. lets begin..
8:45 AM - Noida Sector 16 metro station
"Excuse me.. which way goes to Sector-x, xxxx HCLC office? ".. I asked from a pedestrian.. my english is not that good.. though I tried my best to translate, what I wanted to ask, in english.. :P
"Take first left.. after 2 or 3 building.. you will find HCLC office..".. said pedestrian..
"Thanks.."
With in 2-3 minutes walk.. I reached main gate of office.. 3 other joinees were already there.. 2 gals.. and a boy.. at that time I felt happy.. oh.. ratio seems gud..
"sir ji.. apna naam bataiye..?"-Guard at gate.
"Mayank Jain..8th one from top..".. I answered
"okie sir.. we will let you in by 9.00 only".. confirmed guard
I was at office about 45 minutes in advance.. It gave little time to get mingle with other 3 joinees.. who were already there..
"Hi.. are you Gal1 (name changed)..?? " ..asked the other guy to the only good lookin gal in batch.. :)
"yeah.. I am. you are Boy1 (name changed).. right.. ??" replied Gal1
"Yaa.."-confirmed that guy.. though.. without knowing each other formally I came to know two names.. Sorry, I couldn't control this one.. I have to overhear their conversation..:P
As my one of the objectives to find a gal for me.. I entered the pool of discussion..
"You are also new joinee over here..??" (As if I didn't know that.. )
"Yaa.."
"which College??"
"Colz XYZ.. and you??"...(I don't know exact spell of the college.. if anyone of you know this plz lemme know I will edit the post.. :P)
"IIT - Roorkee".. all of a sudden the IIT brand seem to influence that gal.. but only I knew the reality.. anyways.. we continued with Shake hands and all.. and I moved my hand to another girl whose name I already read in the entry register.. ( I don't leave any opportunity to know such things.. "
"Mayank"
"Gal2"
"Which college?"
"College ABC"... and I shook hands with boy and did not bother to ask his college.. was never interested.. :)
"Sir.. aaiye.. apne bag check karaiye.." - Guard told us..
"Koi pen drive, hard disk, laptop ho toh bahar counter pe chod dijiye.. " - another guard shouted from his cabin at the door..
After getting my bag checked.. he put a slip on our mobile mentioning the date and address of HCLC facility over it.. don't know what's that meant for.. but we were doing exactly what we were asked to do...
"Sir.. yahan pe hath daliye..aur ek ball nikaliye.." Guard pointed towards a box hidden behind a black curtain..
I was shocked.. what was he saying.. "Kahan haath dalna hai.. kya..kaunsi ball nikalni hai..".. though I did.. what he asked for..
I put my hand in that box and took one white ball out.. which I showed to the guard...
"theek hai sir.. " - Guard said after looking the color of ball..
"isse kya faida hua??" - I asked him
"Sir.. agar aap red ball nikalte.. toh aapki full checking hoti" - replied guard.. kya bakar thi.. they were checking people on the basis of probability.. na jane kaunse rule lagaye honge probability ke..
9.00 AM, HCLC office
then we entered building and started doing sight seeing.. building bahar se kafi acchi lag rahi thi.. and seem everything will be fine..
other 3 joinees said -> "they are quite punctual.. they let us in by 9.00 only.."..
and I was smiling.. coz I knew the reality.. how punctual they are.. I just asked them to wait and watch how punctual these people are.. :P
and I was right.. the person with whom we have to meet.. didn't show any sign of her arrival at all.. and rest other people from banks and all other places were there.. another HR persons were also there.. but they too came at 10.00.. yup.. they arrived only at 10.00 despite of giving 9.30 as the time to start.. well.. its still better than what I had faced earlier.. (most of you are not aware of the fact that I and my two more friends were made to wait for 5 hrs before the actual recruitment process started) :)
10.00 AM, Auditorium, HCLC office
they haven't started it yet.. they waited another 15 minutes before the HR who we were supposed to meet, arrived and took "attendance"... 2 candidates didn't join HCLC.. and HR were like.. "any specific reasons..??" and mates of those two people were like.. "umm.. ammmm.. maammmmmmmmm.. we don't know.." :)
finally.. account opening procedure at ICICI bank began at 10:30 and finished by 11:15.. and then we were offered our offer letter along with few anextures and code of ethics for which we were given 45 minutes to read and clear our doubts, if any. though we know.. what ever is written over there we have to sign it eventually.. so most of us didn't bother to read it thoroughly and just read first line of each page and signed at the dotted line..
Later on.. HR thought we are dumb enough not to know where to sign and she took us over to each page one by one again.. and told us where to sign.. what the hell she was thinking of us.. I don't know.. but "my Dear HR, we are all experienced and has completed MBA from good institutes so plz...don't tell us where to sign and how to sign.."
and after all this drama ends... HCLC ko purana daura pada.. misscommunication ka.. and unka time..time.. hamara time kuch nahi.. they made us wait for 1 hr before I went to our own Ms Sr.HR (names are not disclosed here..) .. and told her "I guess you forget the time you are supposed to address the batch.. we are waiting for more than an hour for you.."
and then she came and ask us to leave.. poor us and annoyed too.. x-(
Khair.. whatever happened happened.. after that when we were asked to give feedback.. the whole batch asked them to be punctual and they seem to take it more seriously.. and start coming on time.. address the batch on time.. and blah blah..
well friends.. since first day.. things seem to have improved.. or rather I should say..we have become habitual of its culture..
however, when it comes to interaction with senior people in the organization.. it is really fruitful and pleasant.. everything has started getting clear.. from HR policies to what we are going to do in organization...
In the end, I would say.. HCLC has no dearth of talent.. its just need to reframe its mindset a lil bit.. on which its working very diligently
till next time.. keep smiling :)
