The college life is over it seems. We have just had a partial peek into the professional life lying ahead for us. The disciplined 8 – 6 life enervates you as the sun sets. Truly speaking from my perspective as of now everything seems gloomy and dark (darker than coal).
There could not have been better start for the week from my perspective (ONLY MY). Though even i boycott such malpractices that disturbs our economy so much. The BHARAT bandh meant no class for the first half of the day. The notorious mind would not have left us so easily. Some mysterious OCTO FUSS Paul is always after us. We wouldn’t be left behind with a paid working day without attending lectures. They arranged for a series of lecture in our hostel itself after the lunch break. (OOOoops this is 2 much). It was truly funny to watch some serious mates who were wearing safety shoes also for attending the lecture delivered at their footstep. (LOL- for attending safety & env classes).
The next day was even worse but there was some respite as it was at SNTI. As I had my lovely sleeping space at the last row. The classes were of 1 hour each of COC- code of conduct followed by a series of lecture on first aid & vigilance department case studies. As if we were toddlers who are just ignorant of such practices and values in professional life. The only lecture on steel manufacturing process was the best we had till now during the first 2 days. Thereof we had our guided works visit of LD shop, COKE PLANT, B.Furnace.
We were inundated with weeklong printed schedule thereafter. The lectures from all senior managers & V.P. The training classes begun from thursday. Every class mocks us with the message:
“MISMATCH ERROR – w.r.t engg specialization & current employment industry”
Every lecture begins with a note: “How many of you are METALLURGIST here”?
I didn’t knew that metallurgy was so boring. During our college we thought that METALLURGY was all about that KALA KITAB (v.j.singh). hahhaha.
The week long classes were all concerned with briefing us with iron, coal (!#@#%^^$#*%$^@ - SEEMED Absurd barring a few lectures) the sole necessity of the steel industry. The lectures were delivered by the masters of the subject with loads of experience in respective fields. Unlike college classes the scenario here was a bit different. We were all neophytic dumb ass hole listening to some serious discussion. Some left us with no idea of what we witnessed i.e. heard or seen about during that confined duration.
One of the innumerable bone of contention in the system that needed some discussion among the infifnite reforms. The new proposed identification medium of RFID. I was happy as it sounded something high-tech for the first time. I reacted: WOW now that is some exciting stuff of prestige for being an engineer. Though didn’t heard or knew the full form of it. All that excitement vanished in a phew when I typed RFID on the Google. Disgusting we were to be traced of our every coordinates with the radio frequency I card. It was truly unethical for an organisation which scheduled a 2 hour lecture on ethics. Even the Indian players rejected such WADA clause earlier this year.
However finally I could summarise this week as a bit interesting. Since we had some more wee hour at our behest. We were again back with Pandeyji who gave us a jalebi treat. Few stuff like dinner with MD are lined up for the week ahead. Surely, the training provided by SNTI is gradually turning a bit interesting with a mix of requisite fun and work.
The fortunate 1.5 day weekend brought a light smile to me.
(Hope the same for the others GUYS (with whom i have only a slight interaction) n GALS (0000000).
