I have completed 10 days of my return to well logging department. I do not know where I stand now in my career. After my MBA, did I miss the bus to take the advantage of the course that I did?
I have confidence in my abilities. I am going through a transformation process. I believe that if I have abilities to do good work for my company, no body can afford to stop me from achieving higher success.
I have to go out and talk to people rather than wasting my time in unfruitful activities. My goal is to improve and move ahead. I have to do something noteworthy every day.

My Goal
When I ask myself, what is my aim in life, there is a strong appeal from inside that always inspire me. The appeal is to become a writer. It was natural for me to pick up writing when I was very young. Poetry was my first love. I used to write for my school and college magazines and got wonderful responses from the readers. I had shifted my interest to writing short stories when I was in college. I wrote some wonderful short stories, but I think I have many things to learn on story telling. I did not pursue my interest in writing with lots of zeal and interest and as a result, I lost my touch a bit. I am always inspired by Mayur, who has already established himself as a prominent writer in Assam.
I imagine myself becoming a writer too. I have the required ability and interest to become a writer. I want to write about the things that can change people's life. I imagine myself in the company of the literary stalwarts of Assam and I am sure by the grace of God, I am going to achieve it.

My kids
Kuhi has come back from school. These days I am not going to office regularly as I have almost completed my task of preparing the project report. When she finds me home, she becomes very enthusiastic and happy. As my wife is also working, the children feel our absence and any extra day we are home, they are very happy. My daughter does not let me go out for anything if she finds me at home after coming from school. My maid complains that when Kuhi finds me at home, she becomes disobedient to the maid. But I know how happy she is to spend an extra afternoon with me.
The children grow up really fast. It is really hard to understand when they grow up. Kuhi was such a small kid not so long ago and now she can reprimand me if I do something wrong.
My son Niyor is quite different. Every morning I have to break his sleep and wake him up for school which he does not like. He does not talk much with me. He needs me when he has to play.

Dipangkar's World
Hi,
I am Dipangkar Malla Baruah. People call me by different names. I am more known as Rinku among my relatives and dear & near ones. My friends in engineering college used to call me Bodi. There is an interesting story behind it. I used to go to the college gym. One of my classmates Vijayant used to tease me for my accents. Once when he asked me where I was going I told him"For body building". I pronounced the word body like bodi, it was like how bengalis call sister-in-law. From that day Vijayant started calling me Bodi and I became known as Bodi in the campus. Many of my classmates from VRCE still call me "Bodi" and truly speaking, I like it. It reminds me of the good old days I spent with my friends in VRCE campus.
Some thoughts on the day of Viswakarma Puja
I am joining Well Logging Department on 1st
October, 2012. It will be a new beginning for me in the department. I am going
to bring some positive changes to the department.
When Head Personnel told me sometimes back that I have to
join my parent department after completion of my project, I was not surprised.
It did not create any kind of negative feeling in me. When I was going through
my studies in MDI, many a times it came to my mind that I can bring changes to
my department with my learning. When I was going through my learning sessions,
I always tried to correlate my learning with my experiences and it really
helped. My only experience is in Well Logging Department. So it came to my mind
that I may be able to bring some changes to the way we work in Well Logging
Department with my new learning. When I was told that I have to go back to the
department, I thanked God for giving me an opportunity to make my dreams come
true.
Today, I was really touched by the attachments that the
workmen showed to me. They remember so many things from the past. Good words
that I said to them and helps that I offered to them are fondly remembered by
them. Some of them even I failed to recollect. It was a wonderful experience
for me when I came to know how much they love and respect me. That is my
treasure. I am fortunate that I will have a chance to work with these people
again and I am confident that I will be able to bring some positive changes for
them.
One of the main areas where I have to give my attention is
building the communication bridge. It was hurting to see that the gap between
the workers and the engineers had widened. This gap has to be reduced at any
cost. I have some plans in my mind which I am sure will help me to bridge the
gaps. From my interactions I understood that the workers feel alienated when
they see that they even don’t know the names of the new engineers and do not
recognize them. It is also a failure of the senior people in the department
that the juniors are not properly groomed. I observed that there is a cultural
shift taking place. The new incumbents no longer feel that they have to gel up
with the people in the workshop. I asked myself why this cultural shift is taking
place. One of the reasons may be that they the new generation people feel that
they need not learn anything from the workers as they can easily learn from the
internet. Another aspect may be that they are too busy in their involvement in
internet and other activities and they do not consider mixing with the workmen
as an important task. Again, the senior people should come forward to guide the
juniors so that the existing bond between the workers and the officers do not
break down. The reason why the senior people are not doing their part in this
may be the feeling of frustration and lack of motivation. The absence of
challenges and lack of recognition of the hard work of the people are some
important factors that are demotivating people in the department. This is a
hard nut to crack. But we should strive to create such an environment within
the department in which everyone feels important and derive pleasure from his
work.
I appreciate the feeling of camaraderie and fellow feeling
shown by S N Singh sir when he invited some of us in the department for a
couple of drinks and snacks. It was really a nice gesture shown by him and the
way he made the gathering lively is appreciable.

Team India at Eden
The Indian cricket team's win at Eden Gardens was emphatic. Beating a team like South Africa by a huge margin was really remarkable.
