The Apprentice.... better Late Than NeVeR

So, after more than an year of soul searching, I've decided to stay in my field... I have quit Sutherland, n on 10th July, I've officially joined HMT as a Graduate Apprentice....

Making the decision was very easy, cos I now know that Mechanical Engineers has a face value that no other engineers have.... But, leaving Acer was very tough.... cos I've loved the process, I loved the way everything is done there, I have learned a lot during the four months I stayed there....

But as they say, " to gain something, you've to loose something"

Now about HMT, man that company is a monster, there are so many machines... n they are so BIG... I hope I'm gonna enjoy staying there.... and by the end of one year, hopefully I'd be a qualified and experienced Mechanical Engineer....

My TL and Program manager says that Mechanical feild sucks and I'm making a stupid decisison. Cos they think that my growth will be very slow and blah blah... They were surprised that I was leaving an 8k salary job to a 2.6 k stipend job.... Well, what they don't understand is the call of a Mechie, the fell & pleasure that one gets when he is doing the job that he had learned.... I'm not telling that IT is bad, but Mechanical is something else, that I love and can't explain....

And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Have I made the decision of my life, well, I think so, and time will prove it :)

I'm a TeChiE....!

I'm working in Sutherland for over 2 months now, and guess what, I now have a fair knowledge of Computer hardware, and troubleshooting....

Its not that I've learned every bit of hardware... Its just that i know a lot more than the average Mechie...
After being here for two months, I've developed a respect for all those networking guys.... I thought that it was quite easy, but actually there's lot to learn
Yes, i'm gonna write a full blog about my life in Sutherland... about the friends i made, about some wackos i met, about love, how i put on weight (), how my biological clock stopped working, n how life is in an IT industry....

Cya,

Real friends never part....

Hi... I just had a little party wit my old friend midhilaj... He's my friend since my school days... We were together in high school.... Its 5 years since we studied together, and still we keep in touch. Tellin about him, He's not an ordinary guy. People may not like him in an instance.... He loves being wit women... Women are part and parcel of his life.... Means, he just like meetin new gals and makin love wit them, if you know what i mean... I won't consider him as a flirt, its just his instinct to make girl friends, and make love wit Them . . Lot of my fiends hate him for that, but He's a real good guy in heart, and he is a person honours friendship.... The big story is that, he fell in love, he can't think of leavin this gal... He's even thinkin of marrying her... Gosh, thats somethin totally unacceptable from him... Well, he finally agreed that real love do exist, thanks to that gal.... I mean, he would have fished atleast 100 odd gals till now, how can he tell something like this? Well, thats the magic of love. Guess, he didn't meet " The One" till he met her... Well, i think I'l change the heading to somethin like, 'love will find you someday ' or love from heart' . . Later...

How to get apprenticeship in INDUSTRIES (kerala).

So whats the big deal of doing apprenticeship for just 2.5kpm when you can easily find a job anywhere with minimum 6-8 k's....

dude, what do you think. Is there a difference b/w learning kung-fu from bruce lee and from another master who just got his black belt?
There is difference, rite?
These industries were started in 1960's or 70's, so they have all the machines and mechanisms of that time. Remember, I'm telling this from a Mechanical Engineeer's point of view.
All you CS and IT guys, get lost n come back later.

ok, so if u guys wanna do apprenticeship in HMT, FACT, IRE etc, first of all you gotta register in Supervisory development center in Kalamaserry, Ernakulam.

First, you have to go to Sub Treasury, Aluva to get a chalaan. To reach sub-treasury, if you are coming from ernakulam, catch any bus to aluva and get down on "zeenath theatre" bus stop. From there, treasury is just 150 meter walk. You will get the account number of SD centre from treasury. Get a tresury seal on the chalan. ok/

Second, to remit the cash ( only 50/-) , you have to go to State Bank of Travencore, Aluva branch. That is also walkable distance from treasury. Remit the amount there. Then catch any bus which goes to Ernakulam.

Get down on HMT bus stop. Ask anyone the way to primary health center, walk past primary health center for another 100 meter, on the left-side, you will find a building with a yellow board " Supervisory Development Center". Just show your original marks cards and submit the photocopies. The guys there are very helpful, the whole process won't take more than 15 mins.
Thats it, everything done.

Whwn vacancy comes, those guys will call you.

FZ 16, my awsome hot bike!

red-FZ 16
black- fz 1

i bought an Yamaha fz 16 on 20th jan..... i bet she's the most hot lookin bike to hit the indian roads....

she's very smooth, its a pleasure to ride her..... i just enjoy the glances of passers by, adoring her....

handling - she's one of the best machines to handle... she just flows thru the roads... diamond frame does improve handling....

power - her 153 cc heart just pumps power to the wheels.... at 14.4 bhp, she equals cbz in power n torque....

mileage- i keep her within 50kmph, n she gives a decent milage of around 50km/l....

she is a fantastic bike.... her extra broad rear wheels give a formidable grip n balance, u can zoom thru the city traffic like a bolt....

more of her after the first service.....
