Hi to all ...

After such a long time , I am writing for my blog. Feeling are great and there are many things which happened in last few days. I'll try to write all about them.
As I have mentioned earlier I am doing my Summer Training in IOCL Mathura so at the very first day of my joining I was quite impressed with its location. Its nearly 40 Kms from Agra so I use to hire a bus which takes about an hour to reach. I have been doing ups and downs daily, use to go at 9 'o' clock in the morning and return back upto 3 in the afternoon. So life is going on without any load.
One thing is very noticable over there, Securtiy is very tight and special sensors are attached to various gates. Every one should have an electronic gate pass that is issued by some higher authorities. Fortunatelly I could get it on the very first day so didn't face any problem initially.
I was the first one to report there so was a bit nervous in the beginning but soon my nervousness went away. The officials were very impressed with IITians so I didn't face any problem.
I had in my mind that this training would be very exciting and I would learn lot of things but my thinking has been chinging day by day.
I was assigned to visit various Process Units. First one was 'AVU' (Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation)where I met to Mr. Sudhakar. The very first question he asked, " Do you want to learn? " and I said a big NO. He was surprised with the answer so he asked another question " What is your future aim? ". I said that I was not at all interested in pursuing my career in Chemical Engineering. He laughed and asked me to move around to see the plant.
Things have been going very smoothly and I have lots of time to do different things but I haven't started yet. I am hoping to start something relevent for me sothat I can use my Summer Vacations very well.
One thing is really disappointing me that There is no 'Girl' in the training and with out girl it's no use to doing anything. I am deadly praying to God to send someone sothat I can spend my time very well. Pray for me :)
