Training , Burning & Learning


The prof wants something innovative for  weekly presentations during HCM class. Little did we know we had just two hours for the next class . So voila I wrote a poem on training and development in less than 15 mins. Happy with the feedback and glad that sir asked for the poem to carry alongJ

 


Training , Burning & Learning

 

I ventured out of my nest one day

Pressure comes to an end they say

 

Engineering , Bcom, Bsc and the like

Out of college, a job and a hike

 

Then I landed up in Infosys.

Big, big cubicles and management crisis.

 

Everyone is drinking coffee and chai

What am I to do here I let out a sigh!

 

Then came a monster called Mr. Manager

Said “I am your boss”, I could smell danger

 

I understood him to be an IDIOT of the highest order

Cos he told me I better be a fast learner

 

Training and development is very important

Blah, blah, blah he thinks he is omnipotent!

 

So I decided to excel at office

Microsoft excel, power point presentations came to my notice

 

No, no this isn’t enough the egghead said

It isn’t as easy as eating butter and bread

 

On the Job ( OTJ) training and Off the Job ( OTJ) is compulsory

Or else you will end up in a big, big curry!

 

I wondered whether Mr. Manager was always a fool

Or he became this way after using training as a tool.

 

Then I realised I need to be trained

Or else off they will send me via the next train.

 

So happily I went to start my OJT

Everyone had a smile & was full of glee.

 

Few were big and few were small

Few were long and very strong.

 

Everyone wanted the best piece of the pie

I just sat in a corner dreaming of Aishwarya Rai

 

Wake up, wake up don’t you want some knowledge?

I just wanted to be back in college!

 

 

Multiple rounds of explaining each step

My speed increased, I became refined and pep

 

 

Compliments I got one fine day.

Mr. Manager was all happy and gay!

 

He then sent me off for Off the Job Training

I realised this is never – ending.

 

Lectures, simulation and Out bound Learning

Why can’t they just have some singing and dancing?!

 

My level of learning was analysed

I thought they were out to get me penalised

 

Finally after 10 days of learning and fun

They told me I got a project to run

 

Imagine my happiness when I was assigned the task

Ace it I will, I am sure to last!

 

With the training I got I was sure to hit the stars

With the money I earn, I shall visit all the bars.

 

A shot or two wouldn’t do any harm

After all they took me in cos of my CHARM!!!

Trichy Police - “Redefining Peace”

ATTENTION! According to the statistics for 2007, released by the National Criminal Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu had a total cognizable crime rate of 261.7 per one lakh population, while that of Chennai was 256.9.  The crime rate, defined as the number of crime trends as it balances incidence with growth in population. Chennai’s crime rate ensures that the metro is ranked a creditable 24 th among 35 major cities in the country while Coimbatore stands at the 22nd position and Madurai at the 30 th .  However the situation in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru can send a chill of apprehension down anyone’s spine.  Delhi has earned the skeptical distinction of being the most unsafe metro in the country, topping the list of the number of crimes. According to latest government statistics, Delhi accounted for 13.2 per cent of a total of 3,43,749 crimes reported in 35 mega cities across the country in 2009 followed by Bengaluru (9.4 %) and Mumbai (9.1%).

Why traffic in Namma Bengaluru is the best in the world!

Before all you Bengaluru residents kill me for the article heading, read on! I can’t assure you relief from traffic but seriously – I feel for you! 1. You needn’t go anywhere to learn how to be patient .  Half your life will be spent in traffic and that’s how you learn it! P.S :  On second thoughts you might even end up becoming A patient. 2. You might know all the languages in the world and may also know how to speak it in the most refined manner .  However the traffic in Bangalore will teach you something else . The language called- !@#$%*&^%! (censored for obvious reasons!) 3. Google maps is no longer your best friend .  You learn that the time taken is actually inversely proportional to what is shown.  Also you would prefer to take some other route that you discovered. 4. All your plans of saving to buy that latest phone, laptop, dslr have been dropped.  Now all you want is a helicopter! Where can one f...

A FOODIE HERE, A FOODIE THERE

A foodie is someone who goes beyond just putting food into his or her mouth.  Foodies don’t judge people based on their eating habits, simply because they are too concerned about their own food to even care.  Technically speaking a foodie is someone who breathes, relishes, feels, celebrates and then eats food.   That’s the difference between a foodie and someone who just likes to eat.  The same difference between someone who owns a DSLR  and someone who actually has a sense of photography.                                                 As for me, when I see food, I go eeeeeeee! So the next time you think you’ve spotted a foodie and sincerely wondering which category he or she may fall in, this checklist might help. ·            Menu cards are souvenirs for them. ·    ...
