WENT TO GURGAON FOR INTERVIEW

Dear Readers,
              Recently, I went to Gurgaon, DLF Cyber city for interview of an MNC software company. I really felt good. The interview was scheduled at 8:30 am on 19 March. My train was late by 4 hours and I reached there at 10 am. However, everything went really smooth.
                      I had Metro Card which made my travel very easy and indeed very fast. Thanks to my cousin who offered his Metro Card when I was in Varanasi.
             The work environment was very casual there. There was no dress code. Everyone worked on large table(as dinning table). There was no office for anyone. All the employees had to work altogether  and cooperating each other. It was really nice to see such a working environment. You can go to work even dressed in lower and anything which makes you feel comfortable. The employees were young and energetic. The security was very tight in the building. You have to cross three checkpoints in order to reach in their office. Oh so sorry! I forgot to mention the company's name, it is THOUGHTWORKS.
              My GD PI session was over at 1:45pm. Then I left and reached nearest metro station. I was at New Delhi railway station at 2:30 pm. I had to wait for my train which was to arrive at 7:00 pm. Finally I reached Lucknow on 20 in morning.
    I missed my college fest for two days but I think I got better experience and knowledge while I was in Gurgaon. I wish that we soon have metro running in Lucknow also.

Thanks for reading.

MY FRIEND RECEIVED E-AADHAAR

 http://egov.eletsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/aadhaar-card1.jpg







Dear Reader,
                   Today the wait of my friend for Aadhaar has come to an end . Today at 2 p.m. he received a message on his cell phone saying " Dear Pushpendra Kumar, your Aadhaar number has been generated &will be sent by post. You can download your e-Aadhaar from eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in".
He then asked him to download the eAadhaar. I followed the link and a form opened up.(shown below)
I filled up the form as my friend gave me the details. Thn i clicked on 'Get one time password' button.
The OTP was sent to the cellphone of my friend. As I entered the OTP and clicked on 'Download' button a file in PDF format was downloaded. When we opened the PDF file, it asked for password. The password was simple as it was same as postal code (pin code). Now we are going to take the printout of the PDF file and get it laminated.
                  
There are still many people who have not enrolled themselves for Aadhaar. I would request all the readers to get enrolled for Aadhaar. There are many benefit of Aadhaar and Govt. has proposed to make Aadhaar card mandatory to get scholarship for educational courses in India. You can get full details about Aadhaar and the Enrollment centre in my previous posts.


Thank you for reading.
