This is the blog i have written sitting in the induction class at jamnagar. I now got time at paradip to post this on blog. Here goes...
The day I joined my job, I had to travel by Essar Bus on a road which is lined up with a panorama of endless industries to reach my office. My bus screeched to stop at one such monster-type infrastructure project and that’s the place I should work. At one glance, I saw my dreams shatter into pieces. I was always dreaming of buildings and only buildings. Real Estate was all I thought about, but that day, seeing myself in an infrastructure project site, I started wondering if I have compromised all my dreams for the brand. The giant structures looked very annoying and maddening for me. I cursed myself more than any other time in life for doing that to myself. those gigantic structures were giving me nightmares and I could hardly sleep that night. The next day, I have seen the same thing again and I felt the same. But the third day I felt very different.
A BRAND NEW DAY!!!
Yes, that’s what life on projects means…a day to create, add something new, apply engineering…Getting the project done each day is the value that we live with. Each day, it’s exciting to see a barren land transforming into mammoth structure in your hands. In a project, time truly flies by and at the end of the day, when you look at the structure, the satisfaction that fills in is matchless, after all it is your own creation. That’s the world of projects. Maybe I have fallen in the right part of the universe. Yes, now I am ready for a ‘brand new day’.
True, Just like the way Snehal says “Yeh Sabu ka bridge hain” whenever she sees Bandra-Worli Sealink, my associates would one day call some famous structure after me even if I am a tiny part of such gigantic project
I smiled at the way I convince myself so easily and start loving whatever I do.

hehe...I loved the ending;-)
