The journey started three years back; that was one of the greatest moments of life. This was my dream company and whatever I was standing outside the gates of famed campus. First day, Ali and I were just looking around amazed by the beauty and facilities. Next day was the induction, sitting in front row (but one) we (Geo, Cijal, John, Ali, Owais and few more) were mesmerized by presentations and were dreaming of a bright future.
Training days were awesome, staying in a (~) five star hotel, doing some easy assignments, going through ‘champak’ and clearing exams, ordering pizza on every Raceday and kicking out roommate so we friends can enjoy F1. The basketball tournament where we had India – China in finals was amazing. Spending most of the weekend in the pool or bowling alley and going out to Dhaba for dinner…OMG! I am going to miss all that action.
I still remember the first salary, it was in 4 digits but still it felt like a treasure, I wanted to go to Strand and spend everything (and I almost did it). I bought my first digital camera and used it to cover Mysore Dussehra and Vintage car show.
The Gurukul : Gurukul – The GEC newsletter was the first assignment that I got involved in. The team was full of editors but there was not a single designer, I joined the team and had to release in 3 days. Amee, Kedar and I worked continuously for three nights and got it released. Its release on 5th September (teacher’s day) in front of a Chinese and Mauritius batch was one of the most memorable experiences. I met a lot of people while working on Gurukul and a few became friends for life.
