An incident in an engineer's life...

A Day in the life of an engineer. Somehow i feel everyday is an eventful one but this is something which many will agree that no matter how many years pass by after your engineering, the engineer stays in you forever.


With the joining of the new company comes its own set of challenges. Adjusting to the people around you, the new policies (an important one since 'policy' being one of the reason i was suffocating in my previous company) and most importantly coming out of your comfort zone. How can I forget the new sets of complainces and ethics i need to remember and the abide by them not only consiously but also by passing set of exams.

A strange incident happened with me today. We (a set of four new joinees) were asked to complete a set of trainings which included business ethics, security at the campus, basics of communication etc by our manager. To which my immediate reaction was distribute the 4 trainings amongst ourselves with each one preparing for one of them and then sitting together to appear for all of the them together at the same desk. This didn't seem to impress my manager too much (Atleast it reflected in her response, when she laid out some idealistic benefits of these trainings). When i introspected later, i found that it was not me who responded in that way, it was the engineer within me who took that step.

Aren't the engineers 'jugaadu' types....????

  1. it is basically not jugadu , its the way how engineers are evolved , "break the task into sub units or sub problems , then solve them individually" . No wondeer ur engineer instinct kicked in. :)
