First Blog!!!!!!

First Blog!!! and i really don't know what I should be writing. But I never know anyways.... So here goes..
Thought of blogging began with Guhaghar trip. I always knew reading what you have written months back is a real pleasure, found out now that sharing it with others is fun too. Though I still cant think of anything to write here.
It is 1 o clock at night, and am in Pune, and believe it or not, missing Mumbai. Speciallly office , my team, my g08m.Also met so many people online today to list down all grads Tanmay, Kiran, Amitesh and Sweta from TC, VD, Abhi, Gari, Rahul, Lipika, Dhawal , Ashish, Akshay, Nemo from the grad batch. And it makes me miss Mumbai more. :(
I wonder how I lived before knowing these people. There must have been a huge unknown incomplete space Morgan Stanley filled up in my life. Life feels so complete now that am almost scared that am being too proud.
It began with Morgan Stanley coming as a dream company in our campus somewhere around in jan 08. To think i was going to ditch the interview because there was a cricket match going on!! Thank God I have friends a bit more sensible than me, who submitted my resume and made me come for the interview. And there I was placed at Morgan Stanley Advantage Services, Mumbai. I had got a call from the TPO while I was working on BE project at Poni's place. Still seems like a dream.
Met Suhas , Ak, Mihir and Sujit for the first time while we went for TechExpo. Well actually am lying; Suhas was the guy who asked us where the pre placement talk was going on on the day of the written test, I had spoken to AK after i had finished my pro-fit interview and Mihir and I were in the same group for team activity in the interviews. Anchal was in the same colege as I. So the first line goes true only for Sujit.
Looks like i got what i could use as my first blog... I can write the first impressions of the ppl from MSAS, not that i can remember all,but worth giving a try....
To begin with , Mihir; had no impression on the day of the interview. He was the one who called up a day before we left for TechExpo giving us the details of timings and pick up point. With the complete professional tone in which he spoke he could have easily passed for a well trained HR. Well just proves that first impressions aren't the last ones. Mihir hardly know what he is speaking and to whom, and that what makes it enjoyable when Mihir talks.
Sujit was quite as ever, even the first time we met even now. He spoke only when required. The only word he has spoken in the videos of the TechExpo is "Hi" when Suhas asked him to say something.
Akshay; well he talked a lot. But the thing I remember distinctly about him was he called up a day after TechExpo. Just a wasssups call. Found it weird then , I mean, cmon, we hardly knew each other. Thinking about it now guess its in his nature; you can always expect a message from AK on a weekends saying wassups or m watching so and so movie.
Suhas, I knew this guy was a geek right from the beginning. Who else starts explaining Six Sigma at Marz-O-Rin, when it is just the second time in your entire lifetime that you are meeting someone. Well that opinion hasn't changed much. Though now I know he can also discuss normal things like movies and food.
Anchal; my friends at college had asked me to stay away from her. She had this image of being a selfish topper in our class. Guess it had all to do with her being quite. When one is too silent people tend to think of the person as arrogant. I still haven't been able to convince my friends that what we thought about Anchal was so not true. Anchal turned out to be extremely loving friend.
The first day at training , we met Aadhar and Laksh, cant remember much but there was always laughter with Laksh at the table. He always had a joke ready. And what I would really like about his jokes were they made you laugh and would never hurt the person they were directed at.
Nikhil; I remember he said he followed Bloomberg for some finance news right in the first week of training, I did not even know what Bloomberg was then. He had ditched our team and joined another one for finance project, which turned out to be bad for him, they lost more money than us :P. He has always been and still is the local IT help desk.
Rahul; I'd always try and avoid this guy in the beginning. He was just too friendly. Dont rememeber how we turned out to be good friends.Maybe it was because he liked FRIENDS and used to like the same songs I loved. I remember him playing songs on weekends when we would be around preparing for the tests. Guess that was what got us talking.
Gari; I still remember I used to be wary of talking to her. For one I never had any answer to her wise cracks. Then we got to sit next to each other in training and I got to know her. She wasn't that bad. Thank God, I'd hate to miss the chikku shake she had made for me.
Anuj; Guess first time I knew him was while we went to Elephanta caves. He acted the good host telling us about the places as we travelled in the same taxi. I remember thinking here is one responsible guy. His talks were quite mature, made me consider how silly I seemed compared to him.
Maddy; I dont know why the only memory that come to my mind about Maddy is while we were getting out of the train while coming back from Elephanta. He had told me not to worry about the crowd, just jump out. Guess i looked nervous and that was comforting. Later he being in the same Grad project group as Suhas and Mihir we'd generally talk. I never knew until recently that he's got a flair for PJs.
Anil; Anil and me sat at Anchal's side while training in 6D. He'd always be reading notes , u know, the studious types. I had no problems with this guy until he asked me whether Pune had an airport. And after that Anchal sufferred in our battle.
