Zindagi....
ROHIT GOYAL
Kehte Hain Hum, Zindagi Se Hume Pyar Hai,

Yaaron Pe Apne Ye Dil Kurbaan Hai,

Fir Kyu Nikalti Apne Dil Se Yhi Ik Awaaz Hai,

Har Din Zindagi Ka Ik Naya Aagaz Hai,

Haroz Jeene Ki Is Kashmkash Ke Fer Me,

Kat Rai Hai Zindagi Is Mon-Fri K Khel Me,

Kab Ayega Wo Pal Jab Jiyenge Apne Liye,

Kahenge Hum Bhi, Humne Apne Hain Sapne Jiye,

Khuda Tu Kar kuch Aisa Karishma, Is Bnde K liye,

Mil Jaye Isko Saari Khushiyan, Aur Har Pal Ye Dil Se Jiye....

"That Love"
ROHIT GOYAL

Pyar Ka Ik Chota Aashiyan Humne Banaya Tha,
Usme Kisi Apne Ko Fir Humne Basaya Tha.

Hume To Ik Duje Se Khudrat Ne Milaya Tha,
Humne To Ik Duje Ko Bas Apna Banaya Tha.

Ik Duje Ka Sada Denge Sath Fir Sapna Sajaya Tha,
Pyar Ka Nasha Is Kadar Kuch Humpar Chaya Tha.

Ik Duje Se Doori K Darr Ne Bahut Sataya Tha,
Chehre Par Kisi Ke Ab Ye Dil Jo Aaya Tha.

Kisse Kahaniyon Mein Khud Ko Basta Humne Paya Tha,
Ishq Ke Rog Ne Hume Kuch Yun Fasaya Tha.

Usne Jeevan Ke Sab Palon Ko Haseen Banaya Tha,
Kise Kehte Hai ‘Gum’ Sath Ne Uske, Sab Bhulaya Tha.

Hume Kal Yad Usne Sab Firse Dilaya Tha,
Jab Akele Mein Milne Kal Usne Bulaya Tha

Pyar Ka Ik Chota Aashiyan Humne Banaya Tha,
Usme Kisi Apne Ko Fir Humne Basaya Tha....

17th March – The Day That Took Me Back To My School Days.....
ROHIT GOYAL

I slept on 16th march around 1:30 AM (as usual), with hope of a normal morning on 17th March. But actually it was quite an unexpected early morning for me as my dad woke me up around 8:00 AM in the morning. I enquired the reason and he asked me whether I want to go to school as EXTERNAL EXAMINER in 12th Board Practicals. Well I was shocked a bit but of course I didn’t want to lose this opportunity so I said, “yes, I will.” I got ready around 9:00 AM and went to the school with lot of excitement. I was greeted there very nicely by the lecturers of the school. All students were looking at me with surprised faces (I just remembered the days when I was in school and somebody from outside visit our class….). Then after that they introduced me to the students and told them that I will be the teacher in charge for today (their final board practical). I felt quite honored that time but students were equally confused. After a little formality of marking the performed experiments by the students, I started calling students for their viva in a group of 3. Well I do have a lot of experience of these so called VIVAs (after giving so many in college), but by luck this time I was on the other side :P ;)

Students wished me “Good Morning Sir” and I told them, “no need to call me sir……I am still a student just like you all”. I asked for their practical files (just to complete the formalities for the records ;) haven’t opened even a single one…..) then I started asking questions (of course the easy ones), but nobody was willing to answer and I got a smile on my face (found the situation quite the familiar one…..)

Then I tried the other way by asking them their favorite topics and gave them the questions they want me to ask…..but still didn’t get any answers……Then I came up with a new idea, (as no one was giving answers) I started marking according the toughness of their favorite topic….. Well, all were kind of same but some were really characters I met there. 

There was a student named SURENDER (too frank to be giving 12th board practical). I asked him, “where is your file”?. He replied,” I don’t believe in copying the text from one place to other so I didn’t make it”. I was quite impressed by that answer. Then I asked him, “Any particular topic you want me to ask questions on”? he answered, “volleyball….” (Well he used his presence of mind…..and i considered him smart….) But I must say he was lucky that it was me, not a professional 1. 

Then there was a girl named MONISHA, She presented me her file even before I asked for and started telling me that I had performed all experiments, attended all labs and I scored so many marks in theory and……and……and…… Then I interrupted her and asked, “Did I ask you any of the things you just told me?” she replied in negative and started smiling. Then I asked her, “how many experiments have you performed in this lab ?” and guess what her answer or rather query was,” in physics or in total ?” now it was my turn to smile but with a different frame of mind ;) then after seeing me smiling, she replied, (I thought she understood my question…) “8 in 11th sir and…...” And I had nothing more to ask her as I had all my answers and I asked her to leave…..

I took practical of around 60 students in total and of course gave them best of marks I could…….

It was really a brilliant experience for me and also a lesson too. Now I might be able to understand the mentality of the teacher while giving any viva in future….. 

It was really a great day when I just relived some moments of my school life……..

The World Of Dreamzzz......!!!
ROHIT GOYAL
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai,
Sab Manzilein Apne Hi Karib Hoti Hain.....

Zindagi Humari Khushaal Hoti Hai,
Poocho Mat Isme Kya Kya Baat Hoti Hai.....

Par Fir Bhi Ye Sach Se Kitni Hi Door Hoti Hai,
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai.....


Garage Mein Khadi Mercedes Car Hoti Hai,
Hath Mein Pehni Rolex Ki Watch Hoti Hai.....

Logon Mein Humari Hi Baat Hoti Hai,
Chehre Pe Bikhri Muskaan Hoti Hai.....

Par Fir Bhi Ye Sach Se Kitni Hi Door Hoti Hai,
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai.....


Paise Ki Jaise Barsaat Hoti Hai,
Salaami Ko Khadi Fauz Tayar Hoti Hai.....

Jeevan Mein Har Pal Bahar Hoti Hai,
Milne Ko Lagi Lambi Katar Hoti Hai.....

Par Fir Bhi Ye Sach Se Kitni Hi Door Hoti Hai,
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai.....


Ghar Mein Ronakein To Aam Hoti Hain,
Yaari Bhi Yaron Ke Sath Hoti Hai.....

Kehne Ko Baatein Hazaar Hoti Hain,
Apne Mein Kuch Alag Si Baat Hoti Hai.....

Par Fir Bhi Ye Sach Se Kitni Hi Door Hoti Hai,
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai.....


Kismat Humare Hi Sath Hoti Hai,
Masti Se Bhari Har Ik Sham Hoti Hai.....

Yaadon Ki Jaise Saugaat Hoti Hai,
Aisi Apni Suhaani Har Ik Raat Hoti Hai.....

Par Fir Bhi Ye Sach Se Kitni Hi Door Hoti Hai,
Sapno Ki Duniya Bhi Kitni Hi Azeeb Hoti Hai.....

A Valentine Eve......!!!
ROHIT GOYAL

She called me up and asked me to meet,
I thought she might be calling me, for a treat………

I got ready and reached her home,
She was ready, to go with me alone.......

We decided, it’s VALENTINE , let’s go to a club,
Just to hang out and have some fun……

The weather was quite a fine and,
In our hands we had a wine…………

I held her hand and requested to dance,
We got together and had some romance………

We both were enjoying the evening very much,
However, we were not in a relationship as such………

After that dance we had a long talk,
Then we left the club and went for a walk……

The stars were shining in the dark sky,
We stopped there to look in to each other’s eyes……

We felt that time it wasn’t just fun,
We seriously were, getting in to the LOVE……

What happened, we expected that never,
And God chose VALENTINE, he was clever….!!!

CHAPTER 4 : The Final Showdown….
ROHIT GOYAL

It was 9:00 pm and still there were no signs of results soon. Now frustration started to creep in many of us waiting there but nothing much we could do about that. Wait continues and it was 10:00 pm by now (“we had spent an hour which I felt was really a long 1”) we didn’t have our dinner that too was building our frustration. Finally after waiting for a long time at about 10:30 pm, the results were out and five names were announced (Priyanka Garg, Gagan Anand, Rohit Goyal (me), Amit Kumar Dey and Amit Aggarwal) “the list in order” and we were asked to go to the SENATE to collect our offer letters. We were really very happy that time and also got the bumps by our friends “a tradition in college…. ;)” we went to the SENATE and were even congratulated by the members of RECRUITMENT PANEL on our way to the SENATE. We were waiting for the formalities there to get completed. As we thought we had a job in our hands, we were told there is one more interview round……and we thought the DRAMA is not yet over……

It was around 11:00 pm that time and we were really tired by that time…..they called five of us one by one for final interview…….. I kept on waiting for my turn and at about 12:10 am, I was called in….( i was the third one to go in ). I went in there and this time a complete panel of 12 members was waiting for me….”yes….for the first time I was a little nervous” I wished them “good evening” (not sure that should I wish them good morning :P ) and they offered me a seat “A centre seat for you Rohit” and I said, ”thanks for this honor sir….really appreciate that…. ” they smiled at it. Now it was kind of RAPID FIRE round of questions and answers….”one from this end, one from that….” Some of them I don’t even remember now. One of them asked, “Compare yourself with other candidates…” and I replied, “…………can’t write that here…….. :P ” and then they asked about DELLOITE again (same old questions that I was used to answer after my earlier interviews….) then they asked me to compare FREESCALE with other semiconductor companies. I hesitated a little but still kept companies like INTEL above FREEESCALE. I thought they were a little shocked and upset is well….and asked me to explain….i explained them convincingly with best of my knowledge about both of these…. Then one of them asked, “do you believe in ethics, integrity, commitment like principles ?” and I answered, ”Yes sir, I do…” Then he added, ”then why are u sitting here when you had already made a commitment to DELLOITE” and I said, “sir, I told them that I will definitely try for my core companies…..” then after listening this he asked, “If tomorrow, u get a offer from a better company than this, will you go for that ?” I took a moment and replied, ”Sir, if I am not satisfied working with FREESCALE and having a better offer than that, then I will take that…..because satisfaction in mind is the main thing for me…..” (the moment I completed my answer, I knew he didn’t like my answer….) he asked, “according to u…..tomorrow after your marriage if you will be getting a better girl, then you will leave your wife ?......then where is your commitment….” And I was surprised by his question and answered, ”Sir, I guess you are comparing two different things…..i consider this question irrelevant….and I can answer only if you compare two things on same grounds….” He still insisted me to answer that twice but I didn’t…….then one of them changed the topic and asked, “we have a bond of 7 years which you have to sign right now…..will you sign that….be careful with your answer….”. I thought and replied, “no sir, I can’t……7 years is a much longer period….i won’t be signing a bond for such a longer period)” and everybody was looking at me just like I had committed a crime……then they asked some questions like “work or money”, “job or family” etc…. and finally asked me to ask anything if I want to…..i said, “No sir….” And they asked me to leave. I was little upset coming out of that room,,,,,and it was around 12:40 am. I thought now my chances are a little blink over others….

I kept on waiting for final results “eagerly” (so were my friends). They called other two candidates after me and we thought results were just around the corner. But the drama was not over yet and they recalled two candidates (Vijay Tayal and Ditesh Kumar). Then by the time they interviewed these two, we all were half dead looking our watch again and again and we found it was 1:30 am and still no results…..they kept on coming out in a group of two and three but without results every time…..finally, at 2:30 am…results were announced……and five of us (7 now) were selected (Priyanka Garg, Rohit Goyal (me), Gagan Anand, Amit Kumat Dey, Vijay Tayal) “list in order”. We were more relieved than happy by that……and were asked to go in to collect our offer letters. We went in there and were congratulated by all the panel members and they gave us our offer letters and some goodies….Then they asked us about our experiences about the day and then one of them asked me to say few lines (in my poetry style)…I was not in a situation to create some at that time, so I denied that….but he still insisted so I had to make some and I said, “aap aaye humare college humein khushi bahut hai, aate rahein har saal rakhte aashayen bahut hain, select karke aapne humein khushaal kar diya, hath mein offer letter dekar maalamal kar diya” (I thought they might not like those as even I wasn’t quite satisfied with those). But they appreciated that…..then they asked Amit to sing a song and he sang a song. (I don’t know in which language it was….). After that they took a group photograph (FREESCALERS…..name given to that photograph by one of my friends and future colleague) and there were handshakes all around…..and God knows…..we were really very happy……and then we (me and some freinds) went to KHOKHA at 3:15 am to celebrate and I found the day long and even the longer night…….(but a beautiful 1…. :) )

Well….!! I would love to thank some of my friends who were there with me whole day and night and supported me….(Deepak Kumar, Gaurav Bhatia, Nitin, Rajinder, Rahul Singla, Parbhat and many more…) without their support I might not be able to face their exhaustive recruitment process…..thanks a lot my friends…..

And before I end this story, I would also like to mention special thanks to a friend who was in continuous touch with me with her wishes…..and had confidence in me even more than what I had in myself. Finally I was also happy because I didn’t let her down and I know she was happy as much as I was………..
