23/10/08

bLAME the non availability of Internet at the guest house or to make things a little more easier blame myself for not having enough in my engine to update the blog for over a week. But, come on! what is there in blaming.Lets blame everyone and everything.

OK...as for the last wek there is nothing much to take note of except Mohnish and Pandeys visit to Chennai. And since monday i ve been waking up at around 8 :30 in the morning, and have not taken bath since Monday.But whatever.Its been raining, and i ve learnt to console myself saying that who will take a bath when hot water is not available on chilly rainy days. But there seem to be a good many of them. So we dont dwell deep on this issue.

As for today, the day started with my waking up at 8:35 AM.And there was rush,brush,shit and all that.Went to the office to find RMRs car parked.So was ready to listen from him. But nothing untoward happened.Had to send a few way bills(or NOIDA sets as RMR prefers to call it) and did that.And today had a late breakfast.Then had to go to the site to collect a few papers of the steel trucks that came today.

Over there saw both the Hydra and the truck stuck in the mucky environment.And had to bear with some sensible and some very very insensible ways of how to free the truck and hydra from this very sad state. Overall comedy i should say.Then there was this lecture about tax and the CTC structure of reliance which was ominously abstruse until today.

Had to skip lunch due to some comedy of errors. Whatever, For once having a late breakfast did help. Then came to the office did the usual dirty stuff for some more time and then came ack from work at around 6:45. Went for dinner to Komala Vilas. Had a very sumptuos meal despite the service being unsatisfactory. Now here i am sitting and typing stuff from Ramas lappy. It has become close to impossible toactually use my laptop for the real purpose i got it here for.

The usuals:
Newly learnt:
The sling formula given by RK raj. (inch)^2 x 8= capacity of the sling.
Using tractord to free stuck trucks.

Funny incidents:
Kannan cancelling the GRN print at site.

New words:
Want a new word for god-only-knows what.

15/10/2008

sorry cudnt update yesterdays entry, i was too tired and yeah! too drunk. But the highlight of the day being my truck travel. As for today had to go to the office. M boss then took me out to tirumala tiupati devasthanam for booking tirupati tickets for god only knows who al.They took my fingerprints in the process.

   Afternoon was real fun. All bosses had some meeting and then there was no one in the office. I smoked a few cigarettes and in the meanwhile got myself a mobile for the Reliance CDMA connection and then got the connection activated and all that.  Btw today was Prabath naths birth day. There was a party of sorts in the site which i was only too happy to miss and kanan as usual was wrongly framed for some irrelevant writing on the notice board.

   Evening as a very forgettable affair Started for CAPL office at around 4 P.M. There prepared some GRNs and all that. After that RMR made us(me and the finance guys)  for two straight hours while he was busy teaching SAP to that CAPL GM materials.It rained on our way back to office and it was almost nine.

  And yeah!, more importantly talked to the chic in the CAPL office.Although that was advise on how to take xerox, it has really been long since i talked to a chic, and i felt  like i have achieved something.And PD left for China yesterday.
 
  During our drinks session we(Raj and I) had this Salman Rushdie debate.

   Comedy of the day:
  not much happened today. As for yesterday, RMR forgetting to give the papers to P.D, for whic he would have worked for 2 staight hours.

   Tragedy of the day:
The delay at the CAPL office, the needless wait.

  New thing
various comforts offered by SAP.It was like give the purchase order nmber and you can tack any 
purchase order inside ADAG.

word:
Fawn= A young one of a deer.

Agenda for tomorrow:
Better start reading something.I can feel my brain is starting to rust.

as for today, had one of my most satisfying professional days in my life so far.this can come only second to my project presentation day u see....my boss was coming from vijayawada so cud ve repored to office at any time before 9 30.but going early proved to be a blessing in disguise u see..i had the opportunity of going to the weigh bridge and was able to take my first decision for RIL.excse my grammar and spelling. cos i am a little drunk.

 went with rishi till weigh bridge, decided without RMRs consent as to which route to take and all that.rishi went by truck.i a\came back to office only to sit idle(although i did do a lil bit of work) in the office. RMR came from Vijayawada at around 12:30 and we sorted out the papers to be sent to Noida and all that.

  The same was to continue until after lunch. and from 5 p.m i was waiting for RMR to come.but he turned up at around 8 PM.we did some filing , i instigated a booze night. sivanand and  i set out to DR uthama and waited for kannan who went in the truck and because of which he turned up a little late.

comedy moment:
kannan explaining his situation in the truck.

11/10/2008

Sorry for the late entry. Again very sorry for the late entry. As days go by it is getting more difficult to update this blog. But whatever.

The day began as usual, skipped breakfast as i had to go to the site directly because some steel trucks were on their way.Reached the place at around 9:10 and the unloading work started at around 10 A.M. This time i was given the responsibility of unloading the steel(10 m.m TMT bars) from Jai Balaji Industries properly. And guess what!, i had two people reporting to me, yeah! the securities. Anyway started the unloading, and somehow involved Rishi in some of the work. But as it turned out, he was the one who did most of the work.

By 12:15 the unloading was complete. And we had unloaded it, decently well.Atleast better than the earlier times.So with a sense of satisfaction i called my boss who wanted Rishi to go in the truck to the weigh bridge and then come back in the local bus.I really do pity that fellow.He had done the most work ever today, completed the register, went in the truck, came back in the local bus and the like.

Had to while the time away until 6 and i think i have completed all the pending works. It remains to be seen what else is there in store when my boss comes back from home.Came back to the office, kept some files in order and placed things accordingly and left for guest house. From there convinced Rama that leaving to chennai can never be too late.Had a glass or two of Beer and left in the bus. By the way Harish called when i was one galss down.Felt really good.

got in the bus came at 3....

Irritating moment(s):
The LR copy getting jammed in the xerox machine.
Pandeys deadly stunt after drinks.

Funny moment:
jagadish asking "why are you guys going to the bar?.to drink?"

New thing learnt:
Enduring the bus jounrney is not an issue at all when you have a bottle of beer .Have two and u ll never know what hit you.

ok...i can give myself credit for actually trying to document my krishnapatnam experiences for the second day running. Hi Ho!.

The day actually started at 3 A.M.I reached the guest house to find the door leading to the staircase locked from inside due to some really strange unfortunate event.Whatever .Slept at close to 3:30 and woke p at 7:30. Spent some quality time in the toilet completely engrossed on the subject of whether or not to take bath. Which i decided no to do. But there was still light at the end of the tunnel when RMR called me precisely at 7:57 to say i should go to office today.But what to do, my poisoned mind felt it was still a bad idea to take a bath.

Had a torrid first few minutes at office i would have walked close to twenty miles in the process of geting instruction and taking the xerox, and again getting instructions taking the xerox.Left at 11 A.M to the CAPL office. There again i did the above mentioned work,in a "now-improved" manner.Came outta the office at 1:30 and when to have lunch at this place opposite the petrol bunk.

Left for site at close to 3:15 P.M.75% of my work involved getting the test reports signed, and the remaining involved some updating of excel sheets and doling out of helmets.Really funny,aint'it.Which sad sucker pays u close to 40 grand a month for a job of this type.Well, Anil Ambani does.

Came back to office to get the PC requisition slip signed by Vadari. But he made wait for close to 15 minutes 'cos he was on the phone with a fellow who seemed to me like he was an old friend of his. The sense-of-humour in that conversation was something that i would ...ok...leave it.

Nights are a boring time.People here have snatched my Laptop and have given me Ramas laptop.The reason, quite guessable.Warcraft.Ok ..i spent the night until now in a very usueless manner.Was watching a bit of layer cake from one of georges cds.

Now for the regulars...Ah yes! i would like to add yet another regular out here. The Funniest incident of the day.

Funniest incident:
Rishi handing over the phone to Thangaraj(Security) and not Nagaraj(Contractor) and RMRs reaction after it.

Irritating moment(s):
Afternoon and night had to put up with "Kovaikkai" sabjee.
Running here and there to take xerox copies, and for collecting print outs.

Todays New thing learnt:
That RMR is an MBA.Beats me!

9/10/08

Why does this happen?...Why does this happen...can someone,if at all you are reading this tell me, why does this happen?....A few minutes before i felt there was so much to write and i very ambitiously started this blog to record my experiences in Krishnaptnam.But from the moment i clicked the create blog button to until-now, i am not able to think of a single proper thing about my krishnapatnam life to write. Damn why does this happen?

Fine whatever. Starting from today i ve decided to record my experiences as an employee of Relianc Infrastructure Ltd in the Krishnapatnam Ultra Mega power plant. As for today there wasnt much, i am sitting at my Chennai home, feeling really wierd. Just the thought of going back to Nellore tonight makes me feel a little more wierd. The thought that i have to do that in an A.P.S.R.T.C bus makes me feel even more wierder. The thought that i have to go to work tomorrow makes me want to search for an appropriate adjective, which i am sure does not exist.

Today is vijayadashami. I ve decided to start a few things which may help me become a better person from today, like reading atleast for an hour a day, documenting experiences, watching a good/bad/ugly movie now and then,update this blog daily.Spend properly, stop being a chimney and the like.

Apart from my day-to-day life experiences this blog shall contain few regular entities every day.
1. Thing that pissed me off the most.
2. A new thing that i have learnt on a particular day.
3. One new word that i learnt that day.
4. The amount of money that i have in my wallet, while entering this on the blog.
