After a long time.........


It has already been a year since I have started this blog. Thanks to all the contributors who have published their posts so far and hope they will continue to do so. I have been longing to publish a post since many days ....... my job, my experience etc.. I have spent almost 6 months by now in ISRO. It was not easy but not impossible also......Not easy in terms of not only work but everything. Since I was already briefed by one of my friends how a government R&D organization works, I did not expect much from the organization . I know, I would not be straight away assigned any developmental task. As usual, like most of the freshers, my job is to carry out the operational tasks and maintenance.

The best part so far is the association and the technical discussions with the senior colleagues. The care taken in moulding new engineers is really encouraging. One thing which everyone should concede is the scope of research and development in this organization. As an old saying goes..All the good does not come for free. It feels hard when you have to succumb to desecration or scurrilious attitude. Things are not as immaculate as they appear to be. Sometimes it so happens that one needs to spend more time managing the maintenance tasks than on work. I believe this is the same in any organization.



Just returned a few days back from an outstation assignment. I (along with a team) was sent for aerial photography and laser terrain mapping of AP coast. It was really awesome to watch the sea coast and green fields at 10,500 feet above the sea level. Particularly the backwaters of Bay of Bengal and natural formations were worth watching any amount of time.

So far so good. The future looks quite promising for some development tasks and hope will do some good research. My friends have started their careers almost the same time I did and hope everything is fine at their end .
