hello friends ,

Hope most of you guys have joined your company .. i joined
NTEC ( Nortel) on july 23rd .. i am vetty till now .. just fillin
forms and surfing in net .. my training starts on coming Monday ..

We went out for a camping this week .. it
was awesome .. we stayed in a place called wonder valley .. it was
like a forest and we are suppose to meet animals like elepants etc
but we were unfortunate .. it was a company trip , we were spilt into
teams and raced all other teams, in all activities .. we had treking
( in early morning :( ) .. we also built a raft and crossed the river
( ofcourse with life jacket) with the same raft .. We worked in teams
and It was our first experience to design a raft wid bamboos , build
t and use t to cross the river and make it ALIVE :) and food in
wonder valley was just awesome .. we had a lot more fun activities
and each of which took more than 2 - 4 hours to complete and at the
end of each session , our guide used to quote how that activity n
learnings from t, apply to us in a corporate world .. we stayed in
tents , made friends ..After the trip , When we went back to ofiz
the next day , everyone of us , visited other colleagues' cabin n say
"hi" to each other wid a smily face and if pos a small chit-
chat :) .. i guess this is wat we won from the trip :)

All the people here are damn friendly and
cool .. We are suppose to address each other by name , even our
thala (M.D) K.C.V .. Faraaz motaaz ( head of voice team) fined us 100
Rs ( which he is savin for pizza ) for callin him "Sir" .. No dress
code here .. Cool colleagues .. Mostly my gang can be found in
cafetaria , speaking of which i wanna tell u one incident .. i didnt
get my laptop for d 1st three days , i went to the HR and asked
why .. she said -" The guy who used to setup laptop frequently visited
ur cabin but you werent there so without ur presenz he couldnt give u
the laptop n config t " .. ofcourse every1 laughed , even i laughed
because evey1 did the same - killin time outside their cabim ..

I am really happy and hope u guys are also havin fun @
work ..

cheers ,
Vinod ( 63)
