Now that I have decided, I have to move on. Fuck, what a mischief! I was cracking, phew. Just as in!
So finally the day arrived. 2nd May, 2011, of which I was waiting for last 230 bloody days since the day I got placed. (I got placed on 24th Sept. 2010, campus recruitment, ISB&M, Pune). Don't ask me, how much tiresome it was to pass these many days without doing anything. Completely unproductive time. And today I am regretting it, that I waisted it for nothing.
But am sure, I will regain them in future. Because I know, future is mine.
So, now the leis - ring last night at home before the commencement of my corporate life. Though am not that excited about the verb JOB, but yes looking forward to it.
Yes, I had sort of adrenalin rush when I was going to join Nirma Chemicals, back in 14th July 2008. My First Job! Now LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd has come about as my second job.
As of now, am pretty cool and in contact with almost all my colleagues (my batch mates in fact who are joining LG as well) and all are doing well. The side-fact is, all are rather curious and enthused and eager for the Garhwal Himalayan trek that LG is going to take us to-at the end of the induction+training.
This induction + training is of 45 days approx and there after, 7 days of unadulterated fun in the earth’s heaven. Himalayan trek! Ahh. The most pristine area, verdant valleys and snow capped mountains, what more one can have.
Truly looking forward to it.
Here I come LG.
P.S. I am travelling with two bags. Major and Minor – minor is heavier than major. Why? Simple, Minor is carrying all trek paraphernalia.
P.S. 2 And yes, I am reaching Delhi on 1st May, 2011 before Dawn. Am so happy.

NO to Social Networking
I was never confused about whether to use orkut, my space or flicker or picassa or hi5 or facebook or twitter or blog, and so always remained proactive and adopt them. For me all these platforms remained as another identity. There used to be a time when top 5 searches where positive if BHARGAV TIVEDI is the search-word in Google. Later on I understood, may be social networking (social networking as a single word and a verb) is a hindrance to life.
It’s a button of reverse motion rather than fast-forward. (It’s just that, I don’t like driving in the 6th gear)
In first quarter of 2007, I quit hi5 and myspace, a lot of people asked not to do so, but I did.
Back in April 2009, I had quit Orkut. A lot of people shouted at me for doing so, but I remained firm.
In April 2011, I quit Facebook. Again, a lot of people reacted in the same way. But a few understood. Good, times changing.
I am happy.
Instead of loafing around over the net doing fake networking, its good not to do so and rather be yourself. I get no point in sharing pictures over Facebook and getting comments!!! Writing something on your wall of your facebook account of which no body has any relation, and still getting innumerable comments on it.
That’s strange, a new era of gossiping!!!
I like experiments.
I like doing experiments with my life.
And if you can, do it.
Experience the experience of change.

18th April 2011
I don’t know 4-wheel driving. So I have joined a car driving school. Rs.2000 for teaching + license and Rs.1500 for teaching only w/o license are the charges. I have the license already. Ha ha, w/o even knowing driving, but that’s adulterated India. Back, when I was doing engineering in Rajkot, I had applied for 2-wheeler driving license in the RTO, Rajkot. I had picked up an agent for that and that’s how I got 4-wheeler driving license as well w/o giving test drive for the same but rather bribed Rs. 200. But now, as I am stepping into a new job and there might be cases of driving 4-wheeler, so I thought this is the last hiatus before entering corporate life, the only chance at strengthening me, where I am week at. So finally on Saturday I joined Kohinoor 4-wheel driving school. Today, 18th April, 2011 is Monday was the second day of my class. I am doing well. Just need more practice. I am moving ahead.
Yesterday was an auspicious day at our home. Because I was home, mummy had kept a Satyanarayan Puja at home. It was good and I enjoyed it to the fullest. I had worn orange (pitambari) dhoti and white kurta. Hurreee.

Journey so far
Hiatus Hiatus Hiatus
Another 15 days of hiatus in life. MBA over, Corporate Life is about to start. Or in layman language, job is about to start. My second job in my only life. Pity on me. Phew. But it's ok. One thing I am understanding, as time passes, things start to cool down and than suddenly life takes a turn.
One more thing, I understood, more advance you go in life, more grown up you feel. This LG is my second job. Nirma was my first. As of now, only 13 days to go for the joining date to come, but I am not at all agitated from inside or frustrated from outside. I am completely cool, this is what many people said when they asked how I feel, as I am joining LG. But yes, I remember when I was heading towards Porbandar (Nirma Chemicals) back in July 14th, 2008, I was agitated. But this time, 2nd job, and I am fully relaxed and quite mature as well. See, time is the ultimate elixir. I am ready for the hullabaloo. There you go.
And yes, some of the snippets of my life, in highly brief manner.
Living outside home since last 9 years.
Just completed my Post Graduation from International School of Business & Media, specializing in Marketing. Placements: bagged the best of the placement of my college. Got placed in the very first company that visited our college, LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. Two years, I won' say were useful, but rather more of unproductive. Am still to figure, what actually I learnt being in Professional Course; keeping aside studies. Though had may ups and downs during my two years of tenure in Pune doing my MBA, and learnt a lot from my troughs. The only good thing that happed to me is getting placed in the very first company that came to our college and becoming the don of the college. That's it. Before to that, I had hard life back in Porbandar. I was shift maintenance engineer in Nirma Chemicals (Saurashtra Chemicals, Porbandar) - earlier it was a Birla Plant, than took over by Nirma - but learning was immense.Less time for oneself, and more concentration on the work. Shift duty of 8 hrs each and handling 30 odd workers of the age range 35-60 was tough. I learnt a lot about human psychology a lot there; about how to get the work done from those workers in minimum time. Also understood the importance of time limits - dead lines - when ever emergency struck at the Thermal Power Station. I still remember the first time I got late to reach the Nirma Factory in the first week of joining itself - and I cried like anything. Because, my 1 hr salary was deducted. That was one helluva of experience. I had cracked Nirma on my 3rd attempt after AMW (Asian Moter Works) and Essar during my 7th semester of Engineering. I was rejected by both the previous company that visited our college at that time. It was Sept-Oct 2007. Before to that I did my 11th and 12th Science from a private school in Rajkot. A good experience. A town boy (veraval) came to a notorious city of Rajkot. But now I call it Rangilu Rajkot aka Colourful Rajkot.

It’s 15th April, 2011.
Finally out of the clutches of ISB&M. The worst thing that could ever happen to anybody for I was fed up of it and wanted to run away for it, and finally I did. Am back home, at veraval. But won’t be staying here for long for I have to reach Greater Noida by 1st May, 2011 evening to report at LG Guest House. And yes, I received a mail from LG today regarding the same, so am happy.
My professor (Prof. Pandya) – during engineering – said once in the class that students never ever fail in your exams. Failing and getting atkt, and loosing one year is a great deal in today’s fast paced era.
I remembered that class – switch gear class – and kept it in my hindsight. Today, I can say I have wasted my two years while doing MBA. Utter loss, completely unproductive two years of my life, the biggest blunder of my life – going to pune and doing MBA. According to my professor’s formula, I have wasted 20 years of my life, can you beat that. And believe me, today from where I stand, I am actually feeling like, he is right.
P.S. I am quitting FB.
