First Day


This is the first day. I have created a blog of my own to write things and stuff for my own experiences through the life.. my thoughts, plans, business and a lot of gyaan and bull shit. I am writing these lines with a brush in my mouth. Yes, this is early in the morning me creating a blog of my own. Well whats so special about today. May be its the thursday fever that I have. May be its the new job that I am joining today. Or may be its just plain right time. Or may be its the right time coz i found th software to blog from my own desktop instead of the boring blogger site. What I intend to actually do :


1. Post recipes


2. My usual pictures and some interesting comments for the recent times.


3. Share some fun.


4. Useful information only on the iphone side. (wait have to go spit .. brushing still)


Those of you who dont know me yet and trying to figure out who this Naresh is.. dont sweat it .. you will get to know soon. But I like the Batman's dialogue "Its what we do that defines us and who we are"


Since am a little freaky about the movies too.. I shall post some reviews too.


First day to office .. here goes.. What is ready? I was asked to submit a list of documents from the previous companies. Here is how it went:


1. Offer Letter from the previous company: There wasnt a HR guy in the previous company. Now they didnt even have the time to sign the offer letter and give it back to me. So all i am gonna show the new office is the email which has the document.


2. Releiving letter: I had managed to squeeze it out of the previous boss. But his signature is really wierd (too hard to believe it really is a signature)


3. Salary slip : We didnt even bother to get a bank account in the previous company let alone the salary slip. So I had a discussion(yaa that kind where the tables bang , fists raise and all sorts of single fingers are shown) and finally got my thing. And it was sent to my office mail which is eventually blocked the next day.(FML)


4. PAN CARD: Now thats another story. I had properly applied for a PAN Card when I joined Ashok Leyland around 4 years back(my first job). Three days before it had arrived, I was posted to Mumbai. Now my nocturnally idiotic (i dont know why i used this expression.. dont even know if its valid) friend who had the receipts for them lost all of the receipts. I went to re apply and was shooted at with the questions that involved a lot of "enga"s (in tamil... where..) .I didnt bother to get it back. Around two weeks back I have applied for the card and I got the same card number which means they still have it. Got some confirmation and is in the process. Any how, since i have the number of the PAN card, I think I will be able to manage for a week before I show them the actual CARD.


5. PASSPORT: Ok this is some interesting story. Many of my college mates have got their passport done from the college itself. I was really lazy (and patriotic ... ya thats how I convince myself) to get my own. Then in bangalore, I couldnt find the time nor the necessary documentation. I shifted to Hyderabad to my home two years back. The actual passport application needs the whereabouts of the person and the person should have stayed in the present address for more than 1 year. So I had to wait patiently one full year before I could apply. When the time came, there was no proof that I live in my house. How can someone get proof that he lives in the house his Dad has bought? Anyhow, after a long wait, I had my election card done at home which I can doubtlessly put as address proof for passport application. The moment I tried to open the passport site for the application, I was invited with a "no dates available" error which means there were no dates available for submitting application for the next two months atleast. I tried "tatkal " quota and each and every possible route but the answer is simple and solid. There are 60k passport applications pending in the Hyderabad Passport Office which usually means there is some scam going on there. I think it eventually got busted recently thanks to the overwhelming reaction of the media to the issue. And now I am in bangalore just two months since I shifted here which means I need to wait another 6 months or get the details of the previous stay rectified. Hence I dont have a passport currently and will apply soon.


6. Experience Certificates: I got them all. No more comments


7. Proof of Permanent Address and Residential address: The permanent address I still have to wait for the actual thing. The residential address, I have the copy of my lease agreement.


8. Declaration of blood Group : I think I will need to take a blood test for this. Havent noticed it yet. But I know my blood group is B+


9. 5 PP Size photographs: I have begun the habbit of keeping a lump of my passport size photos in my purse just in case.



So here I am with all the half filled documents and the certificates trying to get started in an Office which is eventually a startup and has started very recently. Wish me all good luck. And Oh by the way.. have a look at the signature of the boss I have told earlier.
