Happiness...:)




Happiness is the most sought feeling among us. We try to find hapiness in anything and everything we do. Be it the love of parents to keep the child and themselves happy, be it eating that healthy food made by mom which we don’t like, be it meeting relatives often, be it going to college and pursue a degree course out of the town, be it bunking the class and going to canteen with friends, be it going early to college just to see her coming, be it doing his assignments, be it choosing a high paying job in other cities, be it marrying a gal who is selected by our parents for us. Everything we do is to make us happy. Often we seek happiness in outer world, in the materialistic achievement, in monetary gains etc. but the true feeling of happiness which lasts longest is the one which comes from inside us. Happiness is inside us. But we often forget to look in ourselves. Here’s what I have learned from The Secret.
Feeling is the feedback mechanism of the universe for you. You can not have bad thoughts and feel good at the same time. Your feelings tell you what you are thinking right now. And as secret says, your thoughts are powerful frequencies which you emit in the universe and they come back to the source, multi-fold i.e. YOU.
May be you don’t believe in spiritualism, and I’m not saying you to agree with me. But I have experienced what I have written in the above paragraph. Life is short, very short. It’s just like yesterday when I was in college having my best days. You don’t know what’s going to come tomorrow. You would blink your eyes and you’ll be having breakfast with your grandchildren. So just an advice…. Follow the tag line of a Very Big Company which says… MAKE THE MOST OF NOW

My Life... An Open Book


My first blog ever…. :) and it should be about me… :)
Ok.. Meet me. Dipil Jain (drum roll, applause, applause :))… not dilip, not tipil, not vipin, not anything else… its DIPIL, simply DIPIL.(may be or may not be a new name to you). Let me tell you in very advance that I don’t know what my name means.. :) So please don’t ask and bother me on that…
I born in a small village called Mahidam, dist. Banswara, Rajasthan on Dec 9 (year censored :P). I completed my schooling till 4th class from Mahidam, and then my family moved to banswara, and I completed my senior secondary education from banswara. For Degree, I went to Alwar, Rajasthan and completed my degree of Engineering in Mechanical in the year of 2007.
After Engineering I came to pune to start my career in IT field (and I’m not the only one who’s done degree in mech and working in IT… :P). . since then, I’m in pune.

It’s been two and a half years now. Seems like it was yesterday when my bro came with me and we stayed at one of our relatives’ house… the very first day of my job, August 17, 2007. Woke up at 7 AM, caught the bus at 8.30. And I was at the reporting place sharp 9 AM. The reporting time was 10 AM. I also found few guys like me.. eager to join an MNC J… we went through a complete day long session of induction where we’ were introduced to many different things and people in TechM. Nothing new in that… except when I figured out that there is only one person from my college (3 from my college got selected in TechM, one joined in NOIDA and one went to infy) and rest all were in groups of at least 3 people fro their college.
First fight was to find room, my brother did a lot of research in pune for Room, and He had seen the city in 6 days far more than I could have seen in nearly 6 months. But since I was alone I did not get a flat, and his efforts went in vain. Then with the help of some relatives, I managed to get accommodate with Rohit and Manish from Udaipur… :) nice people.. even today I cherish them as good friends.
They have already told us in induction that the person who gets two retests in any subject will be out of the company. So now, it was the case of staying employed or not. I studied rigorously for next 3 months (during the Initial Training Program) at Tech Mahindra.  And studied subjects like JAVA, UNIX, PLSQL, SQL, and what not. Some how I managed to clear it without any retests :). That was the best part.
But like we all know…boys never forget to have fun. During our training, I made such a great friends and a brigade of army men who can fight with me and conquer over terrorists. J For those who understood this line.. You guys must be good in it.. And those who don’t… GO and play Counter Strike :)
I’m still working with Tech Mahindra. Can’t say how the experience was… it was good for most of the things… whenever it was bad... I learnt a lesson from it... :)
One of my friends Rohit Ramchandani has made a poem on our stay in TechM… I just wanna share that with you… read that and please don’t forget to give your comments on it… :)

Frustrations of a Technical Associate (TG1)
It all started exactly a year ago
on the 17th of august as I remember
all excited and eager to join this new co.
And to place my life on a new endeavor

The ITP training part was fun in all seriousness
where we learned java and also played CS
But little did I know what’s going to be next..
To start with, a salary of almost half of what I expect

And then the day had come when I got allotted to a CSU
the passion was all there in me, but sadly no quality work to do.
To separate my notorious batchmates from me was a thing so mean.
What made life even more miserable, was that there was no girl in my team.

It’s been almost a year, I haven’t got a project of late
The only pastime comes from Josh and TechMate.
Why don't they gimme a choice of what kind of work I wanna do
can somebody hear my voice, or has everyone become so dull too?

The 8 hour life has become so monotonously weird
Even that girl in yellow tag seems to have suddenly disappeared
I thought  I should let free in the times so near
But then there is also a bond of 2 years, Oh dear!

I can carry on. Oh no, I'm not finished!
But then I also want this article to get published
I'm not a writer or a poet or a critic you see..
But being in TechM just got the worst out of me!
;-)
