internship, new phone

well its been one week since my intership has begun. its goin on great.

first day was really strict as it was a long diwali break after which office had started, so they all were busy getting back to work. chirag sir was also busy coz he was going to raipur the next day & had to collect all the schedule & all to check on there project ( the capital complex) there in raipur. since he was in the work space all day, nobody talked or did any tp that day. i felt a little odd as in pankaj joshis office he would never be there all the time so it was much more relaxed out there. well chirag told sheetal to explain me what i have to work on. she explained to me the raipur capital complex project. i was amazed at the number of folders & folders inside folders. had heard about it but was still confused. i was given a small part of the Secretariat in raipur, to design architecturally. it was the disaster management center on the fourth floor of Secretariat. sheetal told me to go through the folders, 3d images and model pics & get used to it first, then start the design. so i did that & then i thought it would be better if i made a model. i started the model and till friday i had made 2 models, the second was again worked on so its as gud as 3 models. it reminded me of my first year project about surface development of a body part. uttam sir, also helped. he keeps taking rounds & suggesting ideas & showing references related to what one is doing.

thats about work. but otherwise all the staff there strangely look very familiar to me. like sheetal looks like neha panchal(a senior), rashmi looks like one of my vartak college freinds, and bhavna used to stay in vasai before, so she too seems like i have since her somewhere.
and i also figured out that its not always that the working environment is tensed out there. when none of the jains are around little tp does happen. when they are around also its not all that bad.
and how can i forget the wonderful walk along marine drive everyday. the mornings & evening walks from churchgate station to nariman point and vice-versa through marine drive is also so cool. well in short, i love my intership and the travel too.

another wonderful thing that happened was that my cousin who had gifted me my first cell gifted me my second cell too. that also the one which i was just goin to buy & that to on first day of work. i love my new nokia5310 phone, its great. its got camera, mp3, radio, gprs & lot more. while walking to work i listen to music on it. its really cool.

also saw fashion last sunday with freinds as after that we were not going meet for long. was a gud movie. could'nt stop thinking about it the whole day. then went to arnala beach. we wanted to go to the fort, but by the time we reached the jetty it was about 5 & we would'nt get enough time to enjoy as the last boat back was 6:30. so we just spent some time on the beach.

happy diwali !!!

well lots of things have happened since my last blog. let me start with the bad & sad part. A very energetic...full of life guy from d 2 nd yr of my college passed away, while he was on a study tour. was very very shocking to all. its been about a week now but i still can't believe it. i still remember him in the rajmachi trek jumping around & helping us when we were lost in there. its a great loss !!!

well Diwali has come & all the preparations are done. shopping for bhav beej is also done. put up the lights yesterday. today is our(south indians) main diwali... so had bath with oil, coconut-haldi ras and "utna". mom did the "ovalni" as it is called and then we had dhood pooha, batata pooha & chana usal. in the evening, i made a rangoli out of the new format jali which i bought at dadar when i went for shopping......but its more fun to make those dots and your own pattern. this year onwards i have decided not to burn any crackers....i have lost interest now. i burnt a lot of crackers before. well thats all for now.

interview

Worked till 3 yesterday making my portfolio for the interview. Got up early today coz had to get prints from Andheri.Went for the interview at Uttam Jains office in Nariman Point. Was extremely nervous before the interview but when I went inside I was quite cool. The interview went quite well and unlike the one with Shashan Vartak, was a very fast one too. They told me that they would let me know whether I was selected later. Then today morning I got a phone call saying that I was selected and could join from the 3rd of November. Was very thrilled.
Oh and Ritesh also got in at Jains. Now he has to choose from Sameep & Jains. Rashmi is going to join her relatives office in Borivali...very closeby for her.

Well now that intership stuff is done, I can concertrate better on thesis. Got to work it out before the term ends. Guess I better sketch things out faster so that I dont keep scrolling and panning my cad files. Also need to make a model but not today coz I have a jury tommorrow. So I better start working....
