Recently I received a mail claiming to be from HCL CDC.

The mail said that I’m one among the 25 people who were shortlisted based on resume,though I never applied to this recruitment drive!!

In addition there was a SBI a/c no. given and to which I had to deposit Rs.5250/-.I was asked to mail the scanned copy of the receipt ,following which they’ll send me call letter and air tickets to Noida,where the interview was scheduled!!

I happened to read this mail on the 24th of aug,which was the last date to deposit amount.I realised that the domain given in the mail id no longer exists.

I got doubtful and searched in Google, and was shocked to see that this is being done by some ill-minded people and they had been sending mails to many!!

I just wanted to caution people who read this blog!!

In this time of recession when people suffer without jobs,some ruthless fellows are utilizing it..

Pls be careful frnds!!!

I’m back with my next blog.. This time I’m just gonna narrate my most enjoyed trip to Pondicherry with my cousins.

Our trip started on a fine sat morning, around 8 members of the family packed in a Tavera..

We moved on and on.. the first half of the day was full of spiritual visits..Thanks to our brilliant driver,who could find temples in most deserted locations..that too we had to walk a few mtrs to every temple in that scorching sun..

I should mention this here..This is something I’vnt found anywhere!

In one of the temples,the pujari as soon as we entered asked for all our names and stars before taking aaarthi…then he blabbered some manthras in sanskrit..I seriously could’nt understand a word of it   ?He openly then asked us all to give some money…None of us expected this and we were taken aback..even god wont answer your queries without money ???!!

Then we headed on to one chunnambar backwaters..This lovely sprawling lake area has boating to entertain tourists!! After waiting for almost half an hour, finally we managed a motor boat which was much slower than a pedaled one !!

There were bunch of guys… oops.. uncles would be perfect!! I seriously couldnt understand why people nvr adjust while with others!! There were some eight or ten of them who slouched onto their seats as if they owned the boat!! when asked to move they used the most foul language that all of us got angry.. we almost went onto push them off the boat ,when our driver managed to calm down and solved the issue!

Then we reached Mother ashram.. Oh my god lovely place.. no words to describe.. Auroville is another feather to the cap!! The external appearance of the Matri mandir kindles some kind of happiness in you, which I certainly dont’ve words to explain!! definitely worth a visit..The inner silence and sanctity is something which you can never find anywhere else in this world!! I would suggest everyone to visit it..Its beyond religion, caste creed..It just preaches oneness!!

Of course I should mention the beach..Such a CLEAN AND PLEASANT environment…Our people who maintain the Marina.. sry sry spoil Marina should learn from them!!

And we finally reached Chennai in the night..Kudos to our traffic..!! It took nearly an hour to come from thiruvanmiyur to tngr!! Imagine the kind of traffic..Toooo Muccccccccchhhhhhhh!!!!

I suggest all of you to definitely visit auroville at least once in your lifetime..If you would need any details I can give you!!

Do post your comments!!

See you all in next blog!!

A guy whom i had seen for months in a temple where i visit often has suddenly become friend of mine!!

I just couldnt realise the fact that he is talking to me!!

But on the contrary my own classmates with whom I had studied for 4 years…I’m not able keep in touch!!

There goes a thought that when a new relation comes older ones are avoided!!

very true!!

But I seriously dont want this to happen!!

This blog is dedicated to all my friends with whom I want to always stay in touch!! Kindly stay in touch!!

Miss you all my dear friends!!

This is my first post under this name!! some of you might have already read my posts under the name kalpana swaminathan!!

Anyways this new post of mine will throw light on the positives of negatives of corporate world for people at entry level!!

Now that I’ve started working I could understand the fun we had when v wer students!!

Those things are meant only for student life..When u r onto work nothin of that sort shall be there!!

Unless or until you enjoy your work u cant even imagine of fun and froly!!

That being the negative part, i shld definitely mention the positive side of it.

What you could possibly gain in a corporate environment??

First and foremost you get to know people!! You get new contacts which will definitely help at some point in your life!

Second being , you gain knowledge to judge people! The more you interact the more you understand everyone around you!

Third thing is tat you will learn how to survive in this world!
We can understand the nuances of survival in this world.

Most of you would’ve read this story of two people in a forest finding a tiger,ready to pounce on them.One will immediately tighten his shoe lace,while the other will question him ,if he has the confidence to run faster than the tiger!

He would simply say,”Idont’ve to run faster than the tiger..Ijust’ve to run faster than you!!”

Now this is today’s corporate world!If you understand this in one read then you’ve a great future! If not try to develop the art of  Darwin’s theory “Survival of theFittest!”

See u all in my next post!
