What two weeks man!!!!!! Want to know y??? Well they were my training weeks; I joined in May and had my training now. I joined a month before the official joining, reason I have already mentioned in my previous post :) If we look from my prospective I didn’t need this FIELD training at all, but our system is designed as such that whatever we think we don’t need will be asked by them to Do.
What was the training all about?
My arena of work: Research executive who is responsible for technically doing in-depth interviews and Focus GD with the target groups of the client for their product development and new launches.
Field Training: A training module where I have to go in field, to corporates and households and take appointments for the interviews and ask them to fill questionnaires…..
Now do these RELATE????
- I guess they do, for my profile; I ask the field office and people to make recruitments (find correct respondents) for the interviews that will be done by us - the researchers.
- If I am at level 4 and they are at level 3, then I should know how the work is done at level 3.
Exactly, I have to work for level 3 in the field training. Okie, taken, but do I need to do at their conditions, SORRY boss I won’t.
The aim of training should be to teach you the way difficult things are done. But the irony is that the field personnel never took it that way. Their aim was to make us feel that see how difficult is the job “ WE DO” and you have to admit it by saying it “ how u guys handle this?”.
But I don’t agree to this, everyone’s job is difficult at their own level, it’s the way u take it and do it but that does not mean that u make it illogical just to make others feel the level of difficulty. To make their lives terrible by asking them to find someone who uses a credit card, he should be minimally educated, a salesperson etc. They wanted us to feel the pain of travelling and wandering in search of respondents.
We did that as well, but their basics and intentions were wrong. They should have asked us to do difficult job in a planned way but not to make a simple job difficult unnecessarily by adding their frustration that they have with researchers.
During classroom sessions we were told that qualitative researchers are not liked by the field personnel…. May I ask why?
- Because they are asked to do their job, to recruit according to the client requirement???
Well that is what your job is, isn’t it???? And if you can’t do that as well then you don’t have the right to be there.
You talk about the difficulty level; you can take a researcher’s job and see how easy it is??? You’ll come to know how you have to fulfill all the clients requirements by not evening uttering their needs in front of respondents, here we are atleast specifying you their requirements, and Boss if you were as good as US, then you would have been their at our place and not here. I am not making an outrageous statement here, nor do I want to, the only thing I mean to say is that everybody’s job is as difficult and tricky as the other but you don’t have to make it dirty to prove it to others.
In all we were not treated well, they showed us the wrong attitude, their frustrations, their irrational behavior, their supercilious statements and their sarcastic looks and smile. But still they could not rule us!!!!
We worked and learned that was essential and required, we went to field taking appointments and got them as well. The first week was taken by us as a SPORT, but it became crooked when they objected with we using their conference room, and we taking lunch and such miniscule things, gosh what a level, that pissed us all, coz that was the room we were asked to use, n lunch was from the canteen. They made some unacceptable comments and then we decided, to do things Our Way. The training was about to get over, only a day left, thank god it became dirty in the end :)
Actually can’t blame them for their mentality, they know that they can be bossy with us this time around and they are feeling proud of it. But this could be done with a lot more sophistication. Anyways you always learn better the hard ways. Lets see what’s there for the last day in store for us, will they get more crappy or will they just use some harsh statements to end or the least expected will end it happily :)
My Learnings : stepwise
- Be calm in the initial days; get a feel of what the other person wants from you.
- Try to do it in the best possible ways till the work is logical and inspirational ( now here logical is not only from our prospective but from the project and study prospective)
- Don’t let the work get on your nerves and force u to react in an undesirable manner.
- Be cool and try to make them understand that they can’t force us to do crap.
- If still they are stubborn don’t give a damn and enjoy what you are doing.
By the way I took a very basic level interview (questionnaire filling types) with the group head of one of the biggest financial company and I enjoyed it. She was pretty decent enough to have the patient to keep answering the repetitive questions and telling me in the end,” I don’t know how and why I said YES to this appointment, I usually don’t entertain these kinds of surveys”. Now that is where I prove myself. Anything else required Mr. Field Controller. Do hell with anything else what matters is the fact that We can do your job in a better way but u can’t even think of trying your hand on ours. Am I getting mean? To be frank I don’t care. All I can say is that people will not remember you for what you are or what you’ve done, but they will remember you for what u have made them FEEL.
I m actually looking forward for tomorrow’s day happenings ;)
By the way I am watching Pearl harbor, my all time favorite, and may be that is the reason I was so very motivated all through my post :)
Njoy!!!!!

R@!n & P@!N
Today I am at office sitting dull n feeling grumpy. Don’t know, not feeling too great. May be it’s the weather effect. So I thought of scribbling down some thoughts
It’s raining like cats n dogs here in Mumbai n I am actually having a scary feeling when I came to know that it will stay like this till October. its painful yaar. Gosh its stinky n dirty n irritating if it rains 24 * 7 and you can’t enjoy it coz you need to cross those dirty areas trying to make a way only if you are good enough at the MATRIX STUNTS – by NEO, coz while crossing the roads in between those BEST buses and Auto walas in a hurry to touch the finish line (that is only visible to them n is for them) makes you run for your life.
But still it’s not your school anymore, you need to reach office on time whether its raining or not raining, whether you want to or not, but I guess its part n parcel of the phases of life that comes and go. You need to adapt.
Work life is so different. Me enjoying the kind of change it brought to my life n schedule. The way of planning things has drastically changed. Running for our own needs all alone and making an effective plan for every penny you spent to keep track of things, Man it’s different. Now Dad “a banker provided to every child by God” is no longer our instant cashier or ATM. But it feels good to be independent monetarily and to manage our own resources. Its feel great when you’ve been addressed as MAM from different people at different levels, when you’ve been asked for your distinctive opinion and when your opinion matters.
I attended a SUPER GROUP on Saturday at a five star hotel called Renaissance. It was a good experience. I notice that it’s not that easy to have a creative bent of mind. Supergroup is a kind of discussion where the participants are asked to be creative about designing a concept of the product under discussion and there is fun, khana peena and friendly atmosphere. The participants or super groupers as professionally called are people from various walks of life who are creative. Met some big shots ;) It was a mix an match of people from different arenas, one was an enthusiastic old age housewife aunty, who was good enough to give explanations for all the queries raised and other was 23 yr old female who was been congratulated for her first job. Some one was as handsome as Farhan Akhtar and other one was as funny as a clown who keeps on rolling on the floor and missing his beer.
We discussed their transformation phases in life, there view on different perspectives that will help our clients to analyze their point of view which will help them further in their research. So a concealed way of letting your opinions help your product being designed.
Now this is Creative and qualitative.
This was Saturday, and now a day gone by, so not at all a feeling of weekend will sweep in. Sunday a day should be renamed as Loafday where you feel like lazing around and nothing else. We wet for a movie SARKAR RAJ… dnt know about others but I find it resistable Atleast it’s once a watch. To be frank I don’t like people who go into the nitty gritties and logics of every scene in the movie, come on it’s for your entertainment and fantasies, don’t try to be a detailist you can discuss it, but to be upset with it is like ehhhhhhhh….
So all three of us, Mr nagar, Suicide n me went to Mcdonald and then were loitering around for some while. The clouds were shouting on us, ‘ pls pls go home so that I can pour as much as we want’, so as soon as all three of us reached Home it started raining like crazy n all our shopping plans went in danger. But yup we were safe.
Then nothing we were lazing around made some poha n soup n was YUMMY!!!!!! Fought and then wahi sab TP. So over all it was an eventful day.
Today morning it was raining badlyyyyyy n we got out early to be on the safer side but in vain, we still could not reach early as the trains got late, rain Hang over ;) I guess. people calling left right n centre asking about our well being, coz news channels are there to make it THE MONSOON STORM, a hype. " Mumbai drenched " but guys it always do, haan but the media is highly active now :) more than required.
Nweys reached office on time, but was busy only for two hrs, n ab vallieee, waitin for the right resources to do my work :)
Chalo yaar, got to continue with something , yeh office hai :)

My Dr@matic n St@gy Stay in Mumbai- till now
Heyyyyy.. after a long long time.. well there were lot many events happening here n there, so was just not getting the hold on writing, wanted to but didn’t work. Anyways, better late than never.
Well where to start from. To tell u the latest shot in my life, its my JOB, yes finally I’ve been enrolled as a research executive in Research International Mumbai, though my official joining was from June 1st but some smart buggers got it preponded to May 5th, so I m not on a payroll abhi, hey hey that does not mean I wont get my salary, I will but will not be on papers :) dekha aate hi company mein do number ka kaam shuru..
But to be frank the feeling of working is soothing right now at least. I know most of you out there must be thinking how can she find working soothing? But come on ya, its my first experience n things are good to begin wid, n hope they stay the same. First 15 days in Mumbai…gosh don’t ask, they were traumatizing, may be I m using a less apt word, so u can guess that the experience was painful, but this is Mumbai meri jaan, you have to learn.
The city welcomed me with humid weather, searching for accommodation, looking for hostels, having my longest chit chat wid Mumbai brokers n TRAVELLING in that F***ng Local trains, with women shouting, climbing on you with a smile, saying ‘ thoda baju hone ka’ n then kicking you, pushing you, poking their elbow if you not listening to them. Those looks are yaiiikkkkkkkks, so very rude n ugly. N imagine in this lovely serene environment you have to stand throughout the journey of not less than one n a half hour, n let me make it clear that it is jes one side. This phenomenal journey was courtesy the high rates of flats in Mumbai n lack of rightful accommodation. To increase your general knowledge I must tell you that Real estates rates are second highest in Mumbai after Singapore in Asia, or may be in the world ( I would not be surprised)
As it is righly said, every dog has its day, but here every Auto wala has every day as his own day, what attitude Man, even Bill gates seems to be a simple man in front of them. They will make you feel that how dare you can ask them to drop you at a place which is not their concern ( n this is when YOU are paying). They’ll make you feel that you have disturbed their hectic regime or have wasted their time by stopping them n asking to drop you where you want to go n not them. Same goes for the Taxi wala’s, they’ll not give a damn to give a look or make a pass if you are standing on the wrong side or coming in their way. Even if you are looking ravishing (sounds cheap I know- they are taxi walas, but tabhi to its irony).
And last but not the least, sabse bada jhatka- I LOST my CELLPHONE :( yes an amazing set of Moto Ming worth 12k, was taken by a taxi wala when I ran to give him a change of Rs 13 (by begging people to give me a change of 100 bugs), but it cost me approx 1000 times, now you know the reason of me showing my love to them.
I was actually taken aback for few hours and did not believe that I have actually lost my cell. My favorite one, dad gave me, n I was completely in love with it. I ran like crazy to find that taxi wala on the same place, but in vain, neways gone is gone, but I have showered all my blessings on that A****** who wacked it, he might be facing the outcome anytime from now.
These were some major jhataks, baki chote mote current to milte hi rehte hai jaise, getting down at the wrong station, n then asking 20 autowalas to go to a place beyond their reach, getting a scolding from a traffic police for breaking the queue n getting in an auto (yes you have to stand in a queue to hire an auto..c I told u, its chota mota), getting involved in small fights with the taxi walas for not knowing the way to PM road n asking me, imagine ME Who has a pathetic road sense and woh bhi yaha jaha ek side east, dusari side west, n beech mein central, haan haan abhi its sounding so very simple, yaha aao tab pata chalega, when you see people are running like crazy, more of a ‘Bhed Chaal’.
A coin has two sides. I had good times as well, I stayed at my frend’s place in thane.
We’ve known each other for past 16 years now. She is Mrs. Pooja gupta, who saved my
Life by giving me shelter, food and TV. We went to some amazing places, the best was CourtYard in thane…WOW, beautiful place ( uski sundarta bayan karne baithi to kuch aur nahi likh paungi) n by that time poor stomach of mine was habitual of bahar ka khana, n my tongue was shouting for a change of taste ( please give me something other than that paneer gravy and dals at hotels).
Met Gunjan, finally he is settled for a change, his business is going fine, n his showroom (artifacts) is beautiful. Waise thanks gunjan for giving me your mobile along wid the connection. I can’t breath without one, mobile is my lifeline. Went to juhu, where the smell is nauseating. N still it’s so crowded, some things can never be explained.
Last week Suruchi came and we had a gala time, a nice get-to-gether of ICFAI gang. Mukti, Suruchi, Kriti, Gunjan and me. But my loved ones were missing, they were chilling in the scorching heat of Chennai, Miss u Guys like crazy.
The best news is still in bag, I got a very decent infact great accommodation- a flat- 2 BHK, furnished and all set to stay, with a nice cook, and amazing flatmates- courtesy Mr dev, through him I got to know them.Thanks, see how many people I am thanking. Things have started to fall in place, but Touchwood, n plz koi buri nazar mat lagana ( bit superstitious now, if you were at my place even you would have said the same thing)
Arrey on my work front. It was an eventful week, my office guys are cool, good to interact with and gossip around. Was bit nervous initially but now I guess getting hold of things. On Saturday attended a Super group (a creative group discussion technique for qualitative research) and it was a learning experience. Met some big shots. Will keep you posted on that in some other post.
Ab mere paas kya nahi hai, ek achi naukari, ek acha flat, ek achi cook ( my mom was never so happy after 28th april- the day I landed in Mumbai), do achi flatmates, ek ladaku roommate ( a close frend), and best wishes of my loved ones sitting far away from me spreading out in rajasthan n down south.
Thank you for being there, bearing with me, my tantrums, my mood swings and my ramayan gaatha for every day. At times more than physical presence the mental supports helps to a larger extent. Agar dono mil jaye to ‘ sone pe suahaaga’ waah waah my hindi is improving ya, thanks jiggu for scolding me when I used galat phrases n words. This is called constructive utilization of free hours at office :)
chalo then, wait till my next post-
more spicy one or may be boring, dont know, but phir bhi jes Wait :)

BE$T D@Y$ @T !CF@!
Time flies and when it does you want to hold it tight,
At times words cannot express the importance of moments you enjoyed,
Coz those moments are priceless to get you the Feel alive.
Those were the Best days of my life- the MBA at ICFAI,
Where I found friends of lifetime, with whom I can share and fight.
Where I learnt how to manage time,
Along with important fundas of Life.
Starting from a rented campus, shifting to our OWN ICFAI,
Brought us in a jungle with half built paths and stone piles.
But still we survived coz certain things You jes cannot avoid,
Those tough days of life taught us how to live with resources so light!!!!
Every semester brought us a new aim, we trying hard to attain,
Pressure of CGPA reduced semester by semester, till it vanished to give us only a formality to get it over.
We had it all from bunking classes to sit and chat,
To enjoy teasing each other for a guy/gal we even hate to look at.
Our campus life was different from others, with so many places to explore n to ponder,
‘Jungle mein mangal’ was the theme in initial days, with gossips all around about new couples and their plays.
At times more than a place it’s the association u make,
Those Addas, we found are still fresh in thoughts so plain.
Where bdays were more than fun, official names were jes meant for attendance,
Where comics n novels became more important than books to read,
Where you jes cannot resist to use words n symbols to express your anger n tease.
Where list of movies to watch grew week by week, sharing files at LAN became a routine,
Where passing comments on IP became a norm, hi-jacking other’s laptop was yet another form.
Where craving for good food like pizzas n puchkaas, got nurtured by the mess food so pale n Ghatiya,
Where White house came as rescue with pastries, cake n tea so ravishing so freshening n so absorbing,
Where Ammas of labour canteen shouted at us so tough, n we did not get a word she used, so rough.
Where our struggle for our future brought a turmoil, but finally placed timely due to our effective toil,
Where wait for the offer letters ended in time, n we now termed ourselves duly Employed.
Life never seemed so perfect, n so very tranquil,
When last sem exams n evaluations look so very formal.
When we were free to watch movies left right n centre, no one to bother n to torture.
When we planned our trips with no lecture posing a problem, as now it was all so very conventional.
These two years will be remembered as “one of the most beautiful picture on my life canvas’
Bringing all the colours of joy, sorrow, pain, love, friendship, struggle together in my memory’s compass.
We laughed we cried, we loved we fight, we shared we hide,
All those moments bring a feeling of being alive.
Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow,
We must fall in love in order to know,
We must lose in order to gain,
We must remember the moments in order to cherish them again,
Simply because, lessons are best learned through pain.
This pain is different, pain of leaving things behind to know its importance in time.
To know its depth so sublime, To know its reach in our heart and mind.
$UMM@RY of L@$T D@Y$ Of C0LLEGE!!!!!!
Hey..well I thought instead of writing every trip of those last days of my college..why not jes write a summary n then a Finale...well I would love to write in detail but I guess this will do :)
Hmmm to begin with my exams...well WOW...wht an experience minimum studies at the nick of time..n not at all a bad performance ya..so the formality was over...they got over on 2nd Feb..n then wht???? the era of enjoyment began :)...n people around us were wishing HAPPY MBA :) Imagine..as if its an Occassion..well it was not less than an occassion....we went to places n Gosh!!!!!Hyderabad is blessed with some amazing extraordinary Theme based restaurants man...n we checked them..most of them I guess..but to be frank, even we were falling short to visit them all in our two yrs time..that too when our college was jes 30-35 odd kms away from the city ...n they are all tooooo good...exceptionally well maintained...
We went to TZP...( Note..we are not as slow as a tortoise..we had seen the movie jes after the realize...but as it is said united we stand divided we fall...so jes for jigyasa we went thr again...n TZP deserves tht...i loved the movie newys...) n then our chain of restaurant visits started..eating shopping vallapanti all were in our pockets...coz we knew that this time will never come again..we never gonna enjoy like this again..n be together like this with no tension of tomorrow....so wht??? we went to "Koyala"- seemed like a mujara theme where Mr gemini n Ms Jigyasa planned their UP-theme Restaurant...dnt worry will let u know whenever it is inaugurated...n all are cordially invited in advance...
Then we went to SERENGITY- An African Jungle Theme...uffff tht was a treasured experience....we celebrated our frenz bday jes by chance...n were given a royal treatment with a FREEEEEE chocolate cake n a beautiful rose..tht i smelled till its fragnance was gone....n what freaks were we to sing a bday song n ask for a treat when the waiter came...jes to pass the message that our friend is not treating us well with a CAKE :)...so they were at our rescue...with a yummy fokat ka chocolate cake n warm wishes from there manager ..hey but really nice on their part to serve us so well...we had fun...clicked some snaps..moved here n there in their restaurant to pose for a snap or two...n that Your highness n Your Majesty..was also WOW ( well they were the names given to wash room's ...)So in all a ravishing experience...n then to campus...some gupshup..some bday celebrations n next day planning for another trip...back to home n then ......goodbye time...
the toughest time....
we did not sleep the whole night coz we had to leave the campus at 5:15 in the morning, n we came late from the city, had to finish those last chores of packing n had to sit with the ones we gonna miss :( All said n done..but the moments we spent there were the most cherished moments..sometimes u dont even feel like writing them..coz words fall short for revealing their importance.....there was a feeling of nostalgia, a heavy heart, tears in eyes...n a wish to live that L!FE again....
Everything is so fresh in mind...
Wish Life could jes rewind...
Wish to Laugh play n rejoice.....
Once again become college guys....
So this was it...Don't feel like writin more...but Will try to say it all through a poem I wrote jes after coming form there...Its not tht great..with flowery language..but Yes its..straight from Heart...Direct Dil se... :)
