Stay hungry - dont stay thirsty :P

This specific representation since I got special affection for this beverage during my training period. It has been my “Hum-Safar”.

Somehow I fail to share the same definition of COMMON SENSE as my trainers do. I believe this difference is the Mutation due to the Radiation called EXPERIENCE!!

STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH!!

These were the first words of Enlightenment I saw written on the board ( though I prefer calling it BORED – since this word definitely reflects my feelings when my residence time in class is high and I am expected to absorb the information adsorbed on the surface of the board)

Amazing as it may sound, these words had a tremendous impact on me, to an extent that since my training period started I have been hungry 24*7. This might be owing to the fact that the only 2 sources of food for me are:

a)     My own kitchen

b)    Office canteen ( The value of whose taste my gustatory receptors fail to perceive)

Ultimately a few Pizzas during the weekend act as a primary source of nutrition.

As for the staying foolish, I read it as stay Kiddish. Oblivious to the intricacies and Mechanical Miracles (a tribute to my trainer) involved in designing any equipment, each one of them triggered a set of imaginations in my brain, which is presently undergoing a process of revamping( read Training). A granulator ( any person handling this equipment successfully is no less an artist than Leonardo Da Vinci and I hail to them) reminded me of a Guinea pig’s cage in a mad scientist’s lab, but after 6 months of training I realized it was  meant for a higher purpose. A bucket elevator, I assumed was an easy replacement for a waterfall. A conveyor I conveniently thought definitely either facilitated movement of people or kept the employees fit during power cuts (obviously, by acting as a treadmill).

Now I would like to turn your attention to the training period aka honeymoon period as it is popularly called. The main process taking place in this period is the knowledge transfer phenomena (KTP). KTP is a multi-step process. Unfortunately, due to the multiple resistances encountered during this phenomenon, the efficiency generally reaches a maximum of 50%.

Being a braggart, I am tempted to explain the phenomenon of KTP in chemical terms, but for clarity sake let us make it pictorial

Note: the above diagram is not a generalization and happens to be purely my interpretation of KTP

I would finally like to say that our training program is beautifully planned and very well structured. It is just the few unavoidable barriers which reduce our information assimilation efficiency.
