Dear Friends,
I am back!!!
As you all read the last post about ‘New Start at sector 30, Noida’, I mentioned a company named IQOR, where I got a job by the God grace. To get this job, I didn’t try so much. It was just a smooth unexpected destiny made by the creator.
Here, I would like to go ahead and give you a brief picture of IQOR work & the resignation. On 8th Feb, I started my first day at IQOR as a trainee, then, on 16th Feb, I got selected as a Junior Agent and my portfolio was, I need to collect debt ($$$) from US people on call, get the credit card number and process the payment. From 16th to 28th Feb, I got trained by senior agents on the process of calls. On 1st March, the real dialing to US and started collecting debt, we have our monthly target, which we need to fulfill for bonus and performance. I don’t know how, but, I achieved all targets and in one of the months, I got 2nd rank in our portfolio, that month I collected around $2600, which was 250% of our normal target. And you know who the first, Adesh Pawar was. He was the only friend I got, to whom I can talk; I meant to say by nature & behavior. We both were very weak in American accent and English but still unfortunately we hit all month’s target.
After 7 months of calling, due to changes of HR policies at IQOR, I and my colleagues decided to leave this company. We were not interested to leave but, it feels that company had some plans to settle their cost and benefit ratio.
In this seven months I got stayed in three different locations, first one, God fixed me with some gursikhs friends then second I stayed with Annu Grover an entrepreneur in environment protection field and third, the last one in Noida sector 46, all guys were from IQOR only, and you can imagine what kind of environment they would be having. Every day they have party (drinks, chicken & cigarettes), and I was the only one who neither drink nor eat non-veg and the worst thing was no internet connection. That time, I was totally involved in playing travian game (Internet based game), I had 15 villages and just on an edge of fighting with Natars, and due to internet problem, I was looted like anything, people raped my all villages. If you know this game you can understand the situation without internet.
Ok, let’s talk about the tragedy happened to me when I passed 3 months in this place. First month, I was ignoring everything drinks, non-veg etc to be honest, I don’t know, why couldn’t able to find any other place to live, this was the only place which was cheaper and comfortable I choose. I meant I don’t know why I got to be there. After passing some days, I don’t know what happened to me, I also started drinking beer and eating non vege, my mind was diverted and thought that beer is ok, there is only 5 to 8% alcohol and this much of alcohol also available when we take medicines, so go ahead. I read all the instruction carefully when started drinking and also Google the process to make beer, I found, apart from alcohol it has many other ingredients which are suitable to body and if you drink beer in limited quantity it would be helpful to your health and you may gain some weight. These things, I also consulted with a doctor, and he suggested the same. That time, I didn’t think even a hymn from Gurbani what gurbani says on this. I was just trying to be gaining weight and, beer was the only solution I found, I don’t know why I never thought on fruits, milk, butter, and other non veg & non alcoholic things, where were also a substitute to be healthy & heavy. So, I started drinking a beer per day and also having chicken once in a week (home made Jhatka) waheguru waheguru waheguru. I am sure it was, due to wrong congregation of people (as per of Gurbani). I was unknown and a murakh (insane) in understanding my own life and manipulating it with my own understanding, my mind was totally disturbed. Everything was going in other ways. Then, after three months of this congregation when I totally busted myself with all these things and full of other thoughts, I decided to leave IQOR and shift to Gurgaon on another job. At the time of leaving, all my mates suggested first, find a job in Gurgaon then shift. But, I was sure I will get something, and it was very difficult to find a job in Gurgaon if you are in Noida (It is around 40 to 50 km). So, I decided to move to Gurgaon and left IQOR with a good note.
In Gurgaon, waheguru ji again welcomes me to an awesome place to live on cheaper rate with clean and unlimited food, it was in sector 17, you would be shocked the name of the PG was Guru Nanak Farm House, it was very clean and with a garden, every room has a refrigerator, TV etc. (I was planned to put some beers and enjoy, because I was totally lost my sense of humor on life/career, I lose my all contacts, I was only in contact with my family and no one else), this type of PG you can’t find in Gurgaon on this rate. Here, I started to find jobs and appeared for many interviews in all kind of call centers but didn’t go through with anyone. At this time, I also started to buy stocks and trade online. And, I lost around 80k in trading, oh my god. Then, my mind, as it was totally unlinked from waheguruji, thought to leave this PG without informing to anyone. You know, what came to my frustrated mind that left everything and move to Amritsar, even do not inform to family. Just leave everything ‘JUST LEAVE’ and start something new in Amritsar. Strange, hannn... I don’t know why Amritsar, why not Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and even Indore (My home) if an MBA graduate with all kind of research experience with IIM and other foreign universities, also some knowledge on gurmat life, thought all these crap, then it describes I have unbalanced mind. I might be wrong here. If anyone know the name of this disease and also the solution then please post your comments.
Dear friend, here we go, I shifted to Amritsar, luckily, I found a place at Maqbool raod a single furnished room Rs.2000/month (very cheap), fully decided to live there for at least 3 months. But, Informed to home about this, don’t worry. I was alive because I love waheguruji and have fear to waheguru. He sent me on earth to do good things, and also, this is the only life where we can meet waheguruji, So, I didn’t want to go to him before meet him here. And, as per of my present mind, all bad things were happening but I was still positive, whatever was happening that’s all under hukam (Command), were practically not manageable. Everyday, I woke up do naam jap and nitnem (if waheguru wish), then play with stock market till 3 pm then no work, sometimes go to darbar sahibji for seva or watch movies, I was really not looking at the jobs advertisement seriously, and since many days I was losing money, till then, I lost 90k in shares. Everyday, I thought I can make it and level it but, again waheguru ji do whatever he thinks to do is good. I accept. My mother and relatives all were waiting for my marriage decision, when I have a fix job then I can plan for marriage, I was 26, and waheguru knows how to do this, I have no thinking to look on this. I believe when my mind says yes go for marriage that would be a decision from waheguruji.
I was not stopped to play with stock market, and again on the same track of loosing and loosing every day, no growth/earn. But, one day, when I went to Darbar Sahibji (Golden temple), spontaneously, at the Akal Takhat place I have seen many Sikhs even non sikhs sitting in a row for Amrit Sanchar (http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Amrit_Sanchar), I thought yes, I was also sitting here some years back. Then, suddenly, my mind revised all my years and kirat, sadh sangat, gurbani etc. At that moment, my mind was pulled me to sit inside the gurudwara sahibji for some time and ask waheguru ji that whatever happened to me in past three to four months was it under your hukam (command)?
I know everything happens it happens under your command none of leaf can heal or move without your decision. Then, you are the only one to rearrange all these manipulation and corruption happened with soul. And then, it happened, waheguru ji started to rearrange everything. Next day, again, I went to Gurudwara sahibji and asked to Gyani ji (Priest), waheguruji, I want to do confession (Peshi - stand to Punj pyare ji), due to some other congregation of people, I got drunk and eat non veg. Please suggest any day, when I should come to you and do this. He said, dear I am glad to see you here with your mistakes I suggest you should come on Wednesday, because we do this process every week on Wednesday and Sunday only, when we have new people and also experienced like you for Amrit sanchar & confession. That’s great, I will be coming on Wednesday, thanks. Again, its unexpected moment happened to me. After this meeting, I was like uhhhh god relaxed no tension, no mind blocks, everything looks great. I came to Amritsar on 1st Nov, 2010 and in just three days, my mind was totally diverted to do the confession, it meant whatever happened was wrong to me or I am not sure what was it but whatever it was, wasn’t fit to gurbani/waheguruji/god. I think that’s why I was in Amritsar after all. Then I decided to go home and find job their but I have to book the ticket for 26th November, 2010 or later. I thought to explore Amritsar and at least stay for a month because I deposited the rent and some advances to owner of the house. And, I was told to him to stay for at least three months, due to this I can’t go. Surprisingly, I had chance to enjoy Diwali & Prakash Purab (Birthday) of Guru Nanak sahibji (Founder of Sikh religion – a true path of life) at Amritsar sahibji.
Ok, so we were talking about my confession. I went to Gurudwara sahibji on Wednesday morning at 11 am, the process started at 12 noon. At the time of confession, the five beloved (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panj_Piare) of Guru Gobind Singh ji asked whoever drink alcohol come other side of the room, I was scared, waheguruji please forgive me, it happened knowingly/unknowingly it will not happen again but punish me whatever way you like, everything accepted. Then, they called everyone personally and asked why you are here? What you did? I said I drunk and ate non veg two months ago, he asked did you know that it is not allowed then you drink? Or unknowingly? I said both; it was some manipulation of my mind/mann and friend circle (manmukh sangat). He said ok, then he gave me some punishment it was on reading gurbani for 21 days (this figure is just random) when you complete this come to us and offer some karah parshad (http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Kara_Parshad) to darbar sahibji, that’s it. I said yes, ok, thanks for this. Then, I did request/ardas to waheguruji, please help/support me to do complete this seva, give me some strength to fulfill your task.
Dear friends, the purpose of my stay in Amritsar was decided by waheguruji not me, and just for confession. You see, I came to Amritsar on 1st Nov, confession on 4th Nov, and on 2nd Nov, I booked my train ticket to Indore for 26th Nov. 21 days of punishment successfully finished on 25th Nov (the Birthday of Guru Nanak Sahibji). 26thNov, waheguru ji sent me back to my Home with tons of positive power and patience. Then, next month, I called to my best friend (Rishi Rajwanshi, State head) at best organization in the world in Pratham (www.pratham.org) in Rajasthan, asked, do you have any job available for me? He said whatttt…. Actually, I was talking to him after a year, he tried to contact me on facebook, orkut etc but due to all these happening I blocked myself and close my all accounts.
So, he was very upset to me. I didn’t know how to say sorry and then he said I am giving you call back in five min then we will talk. He called back and started ‘youuuu “some veg abuses…..i can’t write sorry” always called at the time crisis, where you been, no call no facebook, no email…now what happened why me…after me then he said ok ok, yes I have one…great you called me today, I was about to give that position or closing that position but now let me talk to my seniors then you can join and come to Jaipur for a little punishment and then move to Bijainagar (My field), there you need to handle a project on skilling NREGA workers. I know education is new field to you but this is the only survival point I have for you to work, I hope its good. I said awesome…totally fine, I thought you would be going to give me a job of cleaning your office windows and floor. Again, not faced any interview for this, It’s all because of my batch mate.

I worked here for two and half months only because waheguruji already fixed my next place to an organization which I was trying to join since 2007, it was JPAL (Jameel Poverty Action Lab). Now read, how I got into this. In the mid of March, I applied to USAID for a Research Associate job on a research project, this job was like an Agri consultant on a good package. Then after two days I also got the interview call from them, and had an hour discussion on project and term of job. They were satisfied and scheduled my final interview in Delhi on 24th March, 2011. It was awesome. But then, just after this interview, same day in the evening Rishi called me and gave a sweet shock, said I got a call from Executive director (ED) of JPAL asking about you like Is Perwinder free, can we take him to JPAL? I replied yes go ahead, he is free. Rishi to me: so, you are going to receive a call from ED may be tonight, or tomro so be prepare for the talk. Ok, thanks that’s great news. I would like to tell you one more thing, I also got a call from USAID and given interview, was good and they scheduled next interview on 24th, what do you think? Then he said you fool…I am trying to fix you in JPAL because you were interested and deserve this job, now again running out of your nest, as you wish this is your life, no problem. Let me know when you done with JPAL interview. And, I was completely mum, I couldn’t think any answer on this, I just said ok dear, I think you are right, well I let you know, bye. Just after this call, my phone rung and it was JPAL. Oh god, I even didn’t prepare for this. Ok, waheguru ji take care of this call please, call started at around 7:30 pm and ended at 9 pm. Finally, it looks great, first time in my career, cleared an interview. Hey wait, but this was not the final, it was just the first interview as ED said to me.
Now, I was hanging between USAID and JPAL, where to go if selected. Then again, which I always do, I requested to waheguruji whatever you like just do it, I have no problem. I know, one side I have a good package and, other side I have top most expertise to learn. Here, you know what happened…I have already booked the ticket for 23rd to go to Delhi for interview at USAID but then on 22nd there was a Jat protest going on against reservation, they have blocked all the train routes which were going to Delhi from Rajasthan and I would say it was fortunate, my train was from Bijainagar near to Ajmer (Rajasthan), and all trains cancelled on this route. Then, I tried to talk to USAID to have interview on skype, they said NO, we can’t do this, you have to be in Delhi for final, then they schedule it on 26th March, but still the protest was on and I couldn’t make it. Then, I did the final conversation with them, I disclosed my JPAL interview to them that it would be great if you could do the interview on skype and if it sounds good I can join you and other way is that if JPAL called me before the final interview with you and selected then I have to join them on 3rd April in the field. If I didn’t make it to JPAL then I can come to Delhi on 5th April for final interview, let me know your views, they said No to the first option that we cant do the video conferencing we have some other members also in the panel who are going judge you on job skills, and other option sounds ok, you can come to Delhi on 7th April for the interview but do let us know your JPAL interview in advance, because I am going out of India and coming back to Delhi on 6thApril, if you are coming then I need to schedule other members also on the same day for you, so let me know before 1st April. I said that’s great, sure, I will.
I didn’t get any call from JPAL but I got an appointment letter on email directly, on 27th March, 2011. That’s it, I dropped USAID.Thanks to waheguruji for this. Now, I am in Delhi on Haryana Education Project.
Let you know the experience in kurukshetra & JPAL soon!!!
Thanks for reading
