I was informed on a Friday evening that I had to report on Tuesday morning in Chennai for the HCL corporate Instructor led training. Everything just happened so fast that I didnt get time to think that what was happening.
But today I realize that this one month of training was indeed a very memorable event and Im going to cherish its memories for the rest of my life! The hectic 7 d a week work schedule, the tests, the certifications, the traveling, the language...I truly had started loving all these!
To start with,initially I knew only Mudra,who is a wonderful person and a very good friend of mine!I was really lucky to get very good friends and my learning experience in Chennai was really the kewlest one! Our trainer Karpagamvalli ma'm is simply the best...be it knowledge or concern.I really was lucky to get her as my trainer.
Now we were staying in a lodge named Amba Executive place.. My roommates Anubhav(Lolly,)Imran and Gaurav were fantastic people..It was like a home away from home.. Adjoining room was occupied by Mudra and Namisha..So it was real fun that we had...Sharing food,study matters,ideas,fights...We really became a family of 6!
The late night studies,the project works that we did together..the tension that we took during the exams,the fun we had in our room...im really gonna miss all these things.. We went for outing after each exam and enjoyed ourselves like hell.. We surfed the Besant Nagar Beach,Gandhi beach,City Center mall and many other places...It was like a dream but we really had our best time over there...
Friends im really gonna miss all of u..mudra, imran, lolly, akanksha, anika, atchut, gaurav, neha, simplicity(priya)...its a looooong list infact...im so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life...
Im neva gonna forget these wonderful memories...Love to all,

Plus some bonus questions like” What do you do?”, and the best one, “Are you still unemployed?” finally the doctor with the mask in the OT told me that now I would be injected anesthesia and when I wake up all would be done! It was the second time in my life that I was feeling so afraid, the first being when I was diagnosed with surgical jaundice, gallstones and some other weirdo problem.
But this was just the beginning. I forget to mention the atmosphere and the ambience of the hospital . We reached the hospital “Apollo Multispecialty, Ranchi” by 11 am on 6th July. It was a very busy scenario with people registering and admitting their people. So I sat down in one of the corridor chairs like a good boy while the registration process was completed. 11.30am -that was it. I was taken to the doctor’s chamber where he told me to lie down and tested if I was ready for the operation. After this I was sent to the test labs where about 15ml of my valuable blood sample was taken out of my veins for testing with the help of a syringe. The USG followed and finally by 1pm all the tests were completed!
So the time had come. I was given a loose cotton garment to wear by the nurse. There was no problem of fitting or size as that hardly mattered! It was the weirdest dress I had ever worn. So I was lying in a hospital bed now with my “new” attire. A wink and I was surrounded by 3 nurses and one of them stretched my left arm and I could see an alarmingly “big” needle in the other nurse’s hand. I enquired how I would be tortured, and the reply was that the needle would be pierced in my hands god knows what vein and kept there for saline and injection purposes. Before I could realize and feel anything the alien needle was inside my vein lying still and calm unlike me!
Then I was seated in a wheelchair and I should appreciate that the attendant asked me if I was comfortable in it. Soon the wheelchair moved due to force applied by someone behind and I was being taken to the luxurious OT for the first time in my life. So down the corridor, then the lift and here it was the OT and the ICU just beside it. I was made to sit in the ICU first where I saw 3 other people with strange instruments monitoring them. They had been operated before sometime and were under observation. I started feeling nervous,really! A nurse came took my BP, temperature, weight and waived the green flag. Just outside the OT there was a white-board in which all the day’s operations were written. My name was shining in black ink at serial number 4.So it was time to enter the dragon!
Lemme warn you friends I found the OT a real frightening place. A single operation table with so many sophisticated instruments attached to it which I had seen in high budgeted English movies only! I was most politely told by the doctor to lie down and “relax”!I lay on the table as if I were an object of experiment and the friendly eyes of the doctor seemed to be the eyes of a hungry hyena waiting to hunt me down! As I lay I was questioned for 15 mins and finally I was told not to worry as I wouldn’t feel anything. An oxygen mask was put on my mouth and electrode stamps were put on my chest .I could see two other docs surrounding me.(Later on I came to know one was the assistant and the other the anesthetist.) Although I tried to not fall asleep when I was being injected the anesthesia but …rest I don’t remember actually! When I partially came to senses I could only hear sounds of myself being shifted to a stretcher and I could feel the stretcher being moved!
Bitan,Bitan…..I could hear the doctor calling me and when I tried to reply and open my eyes I just could see a blurred image of the doctor, mom and sis…Before I could reply anything , it’s simply unexplainable how I felt. That excruciating pain I can never forget in my life. I was struggling to breathe and with each breath a spine chilling feeling of pain ran down my body! I couldn’t simply breathe. I wanted to tell it to the doctor but I simply couldn’t speak. No sound came out of my throat! I couldn’t utter a word. I heard doctor telling my mom that I need to rest and they should leave me alone now. I could also feel an instrument tightening up my right arm at regular interval (which was actually monitoring my BP).Later on I came to know that I was kept in the ICU for 2hrs.But according to me it was 2hours of extreme pain! 4 cuts were made in my body, one in my chest and the other three in my stomach. Then again I could feel my stretcher move. This time I opened my eyes and I could see. Soon I was out of the OT and people were staring at me. I was taken to the Special General Ward and two attendants lifted the bed sheet I was lying on and placed me on the bed from the stretcher. My bed no. was 57E.My god I couldn’t move myself in any direction. Soon I was put on saline. But still I was feeling that pain. I saw my mom, dad, sis all around me trying to tell me that all was fine but a strange pain was troubling me in my right shoulder.
I was continuously counting 1..2..3 in my mind and was trying to bear the pain but it was too much. At last the nurse came to my relief and she injected I don’t know what in my veins but it was like heaven to me. As the medicine ran down my veins I could feel its effect… It was so powerful. It brought relief to me and I fell asleep instantly. Perhaps it was some sedative. When I opened my eyes it was 10 pm and my mother was calling me to have my dinner. I couldn’t get up by myself so she helped me and I managed to get up although it pained a lot. The dinner was like boiled khicdi+boiled pupmpkin+1 glass of milk. I was happy as it was different from my regular diet of boiled rice+potato which I was having for the past 4 months day and night. I tried to eat but couldn’t. Off to sleep again and my eyes opened only the next day at 5am.
A nurse came gave me a new pair of clothes ,medicine and a sponge wash. By morning I was feeling better and I noticed that to my stomach was attached a pipe for drainage of bile and internal bleeding. Soon it was afternoon and now I started checking my neighbors. Perhaps the best variety of neighbors I ever had. My bed was in the extreme left so to my right were 2 beds with an old man with a swollen stomach in one and a man with 3 broken neck bones in the other. In front of me there was a young boy in his teens who had undergone a stomach surgery and was yelling in pain. There were 3 other patients in my ward but I never noticed them as they were quite far. Relatives of these people were always there with sad faces and I considered myself lucky that I was healthiest of them all. Really my fellow neighbors were a great source of strength to me. There was causality too that day so cries could be heard from the nearby ward. My pain was nothing to hundreds of present there.
I have to say that I recovered really fast and with proper medication and support I was able to walk the next day slowly slowly. I should say I was afraid of a nurse in my ward and although I had great problem while getting up and lying down still whenever she was around I would forget my pain and lie down or get up promptly. That was indeed funny when I think of it now. My family was indeed the best support I had and I was never alone in the ward. I’m really lucky to get such a loving family.
I stayed in the hospital for two days and on the third day evening I was discharged. It was really an experience that I would never forget in my life. When we are subjected to pain we think it’s so unfair but out there are people with pain 100 times greater than us and they do fight and bear this pain just to live! Indeed Pain is not about death, it’s about life! While we are fit and fine we never realize the worth of our lives but after this experience, I do. We fight, quarrel, cry, hate and simply waste our valuable lives never realizing its worth! Life is not about just living, more importantly it’s about loving! Do it NOW when u still have it!

Watch the FULL movie NOW! Dont forget to post comments!
Today we had our Advanced Computer Architecture (ACA) paper and as usual the paper went so-so. Section C was the most dramatic as usual. After all it contained the question which still remains a question to me! The examination room was quite a "cool" with NO monitoring CCTV cameras installed which has otherwise created a sense of unknown fear in all of us!
But the MOST memorable part of the day was actually what we did after the exam! As the exam got over by 5pm I, Kushal, Chandeep, Lucky and Keshav headed towards the basement parking. All along the way we talked about how drastic it had been the last few days working on ACA. As we reached the parking Chandeep was found over excited as Kunal's car's front window glasses were simply OPEN!
All of us rushed to the spot and found Chandeep telling the truth for the first time. All of us perhaps were mentally ready for our next steps. Firstly we looked around and saw if it was a theft but luckily it was not. Quickly I got into the car and in no time Kushal was yelling from behind to keep the clutch pressed while he himself along with Chandeep and Keshav were pushing the car. Lucky was behaving like an innocent devil and was enjoying the situation. Yups,it was the same thing in all of our "intelligent" minds! Kunal's car was to be moved in a diffrent location so that a perfect scene of a theft was created. All kept pushing till the car's steering got self locked. The car was perhaps looking "good" in its new position.
Ideas bean flowing and Chandeep suggested to open the dickie and take out the woofers and keep them in Kushal's car! But due to shortage of time and space we only took out their bags and belongings and kept them in Kushal's car. Now it was time to wait and watch the fun! Quickly Kushal and Chandeep took their cars to the behind and it was now time to wait for Kunal and Mamta! Chandeep, Keshav and I waited behind some beautiful gal's maruti like dacoits waiting to shoot their targets! Kushal as usual ran at the last moment to get Kunal's mobile from the car. But alas Kunal and Mamta were coming. We giggled from behind the car in excitement while Kushal had to hide behind a pillar midway itself!
Finally Kunal and Mamta reached the spot. Kunal was shattered! We were quite far but Kunal's "priceless" expressions were clearly visible even without my low powered specs! He ran in a shock and found his car in its newly achieved position lying worthlessly with open windows as if it had nothing else to give to its master! Mamta followed him and added to his expressions! In the meantime the beautful owner of the car came, behind which we were hiding and giggling our best. It was a great distraction but we pulled ourselves out and quickly sat in Chandeep's car which he then drove towards Kunal and Mamta. While we were nearing Kunal and Mamta, it was a great feeling...as all that was happening-the situation, the expressions and even the new position of the car were the work of our GENIUS minds! Indeed we were feeling like GOD!
Finally it was over and by now Kushal had also reached the place.. We all had a hearty laugh but all the same we told Kunal and Mamta to be more careful! Indeed it was a great prank and we really enjoyed ourselves. Friendship truly ROCKS! Guys please dont let this childishness die in all of u! We all of us are perhaps KEWL, ROCKING and GREAT friends! I'm really lucky to have all of u in ma life!
Please do check out the video posted above which was shot by me to freeze this wonderful, hilarious incident!
Finally I am a software ENGINEER! It was 4 years back that I had come to AMITY with lots of dreams in my eyes. I consider myself lucky to be a part of this wonderful college. Amity School of Engineering and Technology - that was the name of our institute. It was a beautiful experience to live and spend 4 years of my life learning and experiencing so many new things.
So many friends, so many wonderful moments to cherish, so many memories! I feel that it was just the other day that I had come to Amity. Time passed so swiftly that I didn't even realize it was time to leave my college now - the very place where I spent 9-10 hours every day for 4 years. The company that I had, the staircases where we sat, the classrooms where we studied and even slept sometimes! I was never going to see them again. Now that I am at the verge of leaving my college I really feel sad and nostalgic.
My friends with whom I enjoyed so much - we all are going to be separated now. Our teachers, our mentors-now I understand what an important role they played to shape our lives. Not only my friends and teachers but I also feel for my classrooms,canteen and our engineering E-Block now! It would be so nice if I never had to leave my college! The very realization of the fact that its time to go makes me feel so drippy.
4 years-I never realized how it passed! So much love, so much fun, so much excitement - in short the BEST years of my life! Packed with marvelous friends and unforgettable experiences, these years were like an exhilarating roller coaster ride!
The ok ok lectures, the unsuccessful mass bunks,the canteen ka khana, the faltu time paas karna, the class me late jana, the proxy marna, the weekend trip pe jaana, the xams me raat bhar jaagna, the movies dekhna, the masti karna... Its time to leave college and move on in life, but I'm NOT going alone! Im taking with me all these unforgettable, priceless memories!
Thanks all of u for being there and loving me so much!
Love u all! Take care.
Do have a look into my COLLEGE LIFE in the video posted above. These were the BEST moments of ma life! Njoy!
