Training days in Tech Mahindra, Pune

If you are regular reader of my blog, then you must have read my
earlier blog (Interview in Tech Mahindra- Key to success). After that
interview and some anxious moments(I must say days) I got my offer
letter, but not true to my expectation joining was in Pune and to
make matters worse it was approx. 7 days after receiving offer
letter. I was in Noida at that time so I asked my father to book a
ticket for me for Pune, and he did this booking in tatkal category in
Jhelum express of 25th January 2006. That complete boggie was for
tatkal category, and after some time I come to know that there were
some more colleagues of mine(Saurabh, Anubha,Prerna,Rajesh,Aditi)
in that same compartment although I was not aware about this.
Then there comes a girl(Abha) with her father from Bhopal in the
same compartment, and whose seat was in front of mine only.But
due to some misunderstanding her seat was given to some one else,
but after some talk she got her seat back. I mentioned about Abha,
because she was the first one in my friends list from Tech Mahindra
batch who joined on 27th Jan 2006. Cutting short this train journey, I
reached Pune on 26th Jan, and with one of my friend Himanshu
Khanna(from my college) I left from station to his house in Karve
Nagar. Next morning he helped me to reach to my office at Nul Stop.
On 27th Jan 2006 we got our hotel rooms allotted with one room
mate in a twin sharing room. My first booking in hotel till that time.
And my room mate was Anand Singh(CS batch). During that 7 days
stay in hotel I met some good friends of my life(Saurabh Jain, Anand
Singh, Rajesh Dwivedi,Gautam Berry, Gaurav Bhatnagar, Parvesh
Minocha, Puneet Wadhwa, Anuj Yadav, Arvind bhai(CS batch), Amit
Khetan, Ankit Agrawal, Arun Taneja, Ashish Singhal, Ramit Chauhan,
Navdeep Malik, Shailesh Gupta,Pattem Prasad, Kumaran) whose
friendship I will cherish for the life time. There started our technical
training in Seed Infotech, Prabhat Road in supervision of Gauri mam.
I am sure nobody will forget her name. At Seed Infotech I met some
more friends (Aditi, Anubha, Ananda, Minu, Natasha,
Roopali,Lipika,Shweta,Nidhi). and then after 7 days we shifted in to
a flat along with our flat mates.
Anand, Me, Saurabh, and Arun were the lucky one to share the flat

that too with lot many manipulation with Tech Mahindra admin
incharge(Jeetendra Mahajan aka jeetu). And this points onward our 3
month long journey for technical training started with keeping this
point in mind that if we will not be able to clear our 7 exams in 10
attempts then we will be out of Tech Mahindra. Yes this was true and
about this Abha alerted me in Train and after some time Umesh
Ganjale (Tech Mahindra) confirmed this.
To expect from electronics and communication engineer to clear
exams of Java, C++, Oracle, SQL, Unix, Testing concept and DBMS
concept in mere 5/2 days of classes was enough to make matter
worse, and if this alone was not enough we were supposed to clear
these exams by creating programs for the problem statement, those
were allotted to us on the run. Needless to mention if Gauri mam
would not be there I am sure I would not be in Tech Mahindra at the
first place, and I am sure all my friends must be in agreement of this
statement. In unix exam I got meager 20 marks(boundary value), and
for this exam i was confident that I will secure good marks, as I
completed this exam in less than 75% of allotted time, I am still
amazed how Amit managed to complete this exam in just 20-30
minutes out of 2 hours. In SQL paper one of my friends asked me to
show the answersheet (no prize for guess as she was asking for
cheating). I told her that I will give you my answersheet, and u can
copy whatever you want to. I said this simply without having any bad
intention, but later on I came to know that this had shown my
arrogance nature to that girl. Anubha was the topper in that exam
and got 19 marks out of 20 and we(We means Ananda, Anubha,
Aditi, Saurabh,Ankit and me) got our first treat in Pune after our
job. And Ankit if you remember our situation ahead of C++ module,
we were literally nervous for this exam as I was not able to
understood anything in that module. And the colleagues who are
reading this blog must remember the face of Navdeep, whom I have
never seen tensed. Even with more than 1 failure in any exam he was
not tensed. I should really learn how to remain cool in such situation
from Navdeep.
And as it is written all is well that ends well. We all who joined Tech
Mahindra in 27th January batch and were colleague were more or less
in the same situation. And we all managed to clear all the exams, and
managed to join Tech Mahindra successfully. Hats off to our hard
work and patience. I wish all the best to all of us in our career.

I keep on dwelling, which way I am
heading to, what is my target that I
want to achieve. I want to justify to
myself that whatever I am doing I am
doing that with my full intensity. As
this is the sole life that we got from
God. We should be honest to
whatever we are doing.
