New year....New city...New home...New company....New job...New boss.....

I guess the list of “New”s ends there for now.

After cooling my legs in my first job and getting over with “first job blues”, I decided to venture out and took up an assignment with a rather unusual company. The word “unusual” signifies only the change in the industry and the LOB.

With many questions, perceptions and aspirations I joined my current organization. The experience so far (sine 03-Jan) has been pleasantly surprising. I am looking forward to carry on the same feeling with vigor and enthusiasm. Also, working in my new job in Mumbai has been very uncharacteristic of living and working in Mumbai. The entire credit for this goes to my organization. B'coz, this is unarguably the only big company in the country which provides residential facilities to its employees and this facility is superior to many other private residential societies in the city. And the mere fact that this facility is right across your place of work, you can literally walk to work. Probably I will be laughed at during some point in my life in the years ahead for not traveled in the local train in spite of staying in Mumbai.

A year back, I would have never imagined that my second job would be in a hard core manufacturing company. But that's how the life is with so many surprises. I have to be honest here since I made the decision of changing job pretty quickly to ensure my initial impression of the organization doesn't change. This impression was formed during the interview. I hope am not wrong with my perceptions....

I am consciously not mentioning anything about my organization as my division head has said the following things during our formal interaction with him...

“Don't be judgmental initially since you have joined here from another company. Every thing here is well thought of here by people who have been in the business in the decades”...

Now I realize that its true. When you step aside and start thinking about anything here, you shall understand the logic and this is the very reason why I am avoiding penning down my impressions/thoughts/perceptions about this organization.

This new job has exposed me to express way and I have traveled on it already many times enjoying every KM of it. The drive now has become more of psychological drive where you keep to yourself small milestones to cross which makes the entire drive enjoyable and forgetful to avoid any stress.

You will have to love this city to enjoy it and that's what I am doing it currently. The life has suddenly become a sprint from a marathon in Pune. Waking early in the morning and rushing to office and come back early in the evening. The latter part is the most interesting and enjoyable aspect of my current job.

I am here trying to re-invent myself and enjoy every minute of it. Wish I have all the luck going in my way...
