Hindustan Petroleum, Last Days

Image
I and Chandan were sitting on the abandoned 4-lane wondering where HPCL will give me posting and how to prepare for I.E.S interview parallel to job.Who would have thought that the small beautiful plant in front of that abandoned 4-lane  will be the place  I will spend my next one year. The best part with a small journey is that I remember everything clearly right from the first day.Be it Rajat sir's (he was our first plant manager)  precise handling,weighting and his  farsightedness for any situation, inborn sarkari babu talent of Madhu Kant (colleague), Anand sir's composure and work distribution and people management,Raju (office Boy), Hulash, Murmu,Tirkey, Before Joining HPCL or NBCC I thought government jobs were best because they provided financial stability and ease of work. But now I realize they are secondary and trivial. Now I can relate to what guddu bhaiya said when i was in 12th, "essence of a psu/government firm is its ground level situation tack...

Interview Stories...ESE & P.S.U

Image
For getting a job in any company you have to go through interview process which might be once in a lifetime opportunity with that firm. For Gate qualified students interview virtually decides everything. I mean it, if you are a topper i.e <50 rank then you will surely get something out of your rank but above 50, it depends. I have plethora of examples of rank around 100 not converting a single call and around 300 converting Navratnas like HPCL. From what I have observed knowledge plays only a side role ( considering you have cleared GATE with good ranks and can answer basic fundas even sleepwalking) . The major role is your planning, what is the background of company, how are the stocks, new projects,completed projects, its finances. You know company in-out and be  good with words and you can make them ask what you want and bingo you will easily crack it. Why I decided to pen my interview experience ? During my preparation for II...

From the darkest of alleys

The time span from may'14 to dec'15 will always be a duration of huge topsy turvy in my life, from finding it hard to look in the mirror to cloud nine . Journey to Delhi was not a planned decision but an escape from  parents and their questions such as "what I will do now, why don't I try for TCS"?. My college, one of the best among NITs had left me "educated unemployed". My only hope was an interview with H.S.C.C, which also shattered on the way to Delhi when I got a call from a friend that only one person was selected. So there I was in Delhi with all my books and some friends from college. With so much self talking when alone I felt uneasy and   company of these known people kept me going.  Delhi was also not easy on me. Guys there ate,slept and shit study, all of this with an aim to hit the bulls eye. But I was tired/demotivated/ashamed and it needed more than a mere motivation to change my fate. You see motivation doesn't give you rank. Somet...

Rivers Interlinking

The main planing was chalked out in 2002-2003 under Atal ji in which a plan was passed to interconnect thirty links and built three thousand reservoirs. The idea was given by Arthur cotton in 19 th century and that was basically for navigation. The idea firstly came into India in 1972 when K.L.RAO the then minister of irrigation and power under Prime minister Indira Gandhi presented the idea. In 1982 National Water Development Agency (NWDA) prepared plan for thirty links, three thousand reservoirs and 12500 km of canals. It was a very daunting project. In 2002 NWDA estimated 5,60,000 crore investment need in this but was not implemented. Why interlinking? – to check flood in north east and eastern area. – drought in western and peninsular India – temporal and spatial variation regarding precipitation and availability – depleting ground water resource which is 62.95 percent used for irrigation. Advantages- – tackling drought and flood. – more benefit exam...

THE INDIAN DIASPORA

I c an not remember when was the last time we concentrated this much on this section. Is it really important to talk about them, who are they? Global citizens can be divided into two parts Indian and non Indian. Indians can be then subdivided in residents and non residential Indian citizens .Non Indian can be dived into two parts they are person of Indian origin and others. So an Indian Diaspora consist of NRI and PIO. They are the one who are in different parts of world representing India at World stage be it Satya Nadela, Kiran Desai or Sundar Pichai etc. They can play a significant role in government decision making process and sometimes even act as the pressure points. It is a good gesture of government as it is making them feel they are a significant part of democracy and they are indeed , not only politically also economically. This will help in getting 70 billion remittance to India and that can be effectively used to lessen the burden of borrowing money.

INDIA'S DEMAND FOR PERMANENT SEAT IN U.N.S.C

Before going into the matter directly let what is UNSC and why it is so much important to India. UNSC is one of the six organs of United Nation and its main aim is to maintain peace and security in the word. It has five permanent members and ten temporary members who gets reshuffled time to time. The permanent members were the countries which won the world war II and emerged as the biggest economy in due course of time. The main focus is that they have a special say in any UNSC matter in form of VITO power. Now we all know this is 21 st century, the scenario has changed in a lot of way such as Germany is not in ruins now but one of the largest economy of Europe, India is also the fast growing economy and in some ways competing with the Chinese economy. As Christine lagarde said “India is a bright spot on the dark horizon”. So the main question isn't why India should be a permanent member but is that why a country having 1/6 th of the world population has no s...
