My two short poems - which I recorded for radio

These are the two spots - as in my small poems which will be used as our department advertisements on all 5 radio channels of Gujarat.

Spot 1:

પશુ-પક્ષીઓ થઇ રહ્યા છે લુપ્ત ,
શિશિર ની ઠંડી જાણે પોતે જ થઇ રહી છે સુષુપ્ત ,
વર્તાશે અછત જળ , અનાજની જયારે થશે આજનો યુવા પુખ્ત ,
પર્યાવરણના વધતાં તાપમાન ની અસરો હવે રહી નથી ગુપ્ત!!!

Its about Global warming.. summary of these lines
Animals have become extinct ,
Climate is changing drastically ,
We will be facing shortage of water and food after some years..
And thus effect of global warming is now not hidden ..

My 2nd script for the radio recording...

ઉમંગને સંગે , ચાલો વાયુવેગે સૂર્યને આંબવાની કરીએ આસ,
ભાવિ પેઢી માટે વસુંધરાને બચાવીએ ખાસ,
ઊર્જાક્ષેત્રે સ્વાવલંબી બનવા કરવા પડશે અથાગ પ્રયત્નો - એવો થઇ ગયો છે આભાસ ,
ભૂલકાંઓને જ સક્ષમ બનાવી , ઉજ્જવળ ભાવિના કર્તા-હર્તા બનાવવા - એ જ છે અમારો પ્રયાસ!!!

These lines are written specially for the Bal Urja Rakshak Dal (BURD), which has around 50 thousand students and BURD deals with spreading awareness about Energy conservation among students with various creative programs. As our department deals with Renewable Energy..I have used words like the sun (Solar ) and wind ..
These lines say..
Let’s use solar energy and spread its importance enthusiastically,
And let’s save the earth for the young generation,
We have understood that we need to work hard to be self-sufficient in the field of Energy and so finding various non-conventional means,
Let’s teach the children about the same and so they can build their own future bright…
And that is our(BURD’s) mission …

Hureyyy!!!!

Hureyyy!!!!
Done with my radio recording and just came back to office with lots of great memories and one goodie –bag by 94.3 My FM-‘Jiyo Dil Se’ …
Now this recording will be given to all the 5 radio channels and they will broadcast it during their slots, everyday for almost one year.
Tomorrow I will be getting CD of the same with some music addition.
Now coming to my experience about the whole day..
Hmmm..What to say..I was pretty excited..Reached to the “Bhaskar House” (Divya Bhaskar publications’ office) with my two ma’ams ,where the person who is handling all sales and PR department came to receive us..
When you enter the building , first you see is the Indian map where the entire Divya Bhaskar network was marked. Then we headed towards the 3rd floor at My FM office, as expected the entry was having various posters and tag line ‘Jiyo Dil Se’ was written on walls..in all very nice colorful ambience.
We met the regional head and he explained us about various new things in Radio and how FM is having high impact in today’s world.
Then we were taken on quick tour of the whole radio station and they explained all technical stuff about radio broadcast. We saw the ‘on-air’ room , from where the RJ was doing the Live show. Then we went to the recording studio , where we met the head of that studio.
Woooooooohh!! Then the real show begun , I started recording the poem with that big mike and putting headphone ..

First 2-3 takes were not so good as I think I got li’l conscious and also to talk with all the emotions and that too in front of instruments and not people were li’l strange for me..but with lots of patience the sir over there helped me and then after 5-6 takes was done with my first poem which was on a serious note.
The second poem was on a lighter side , so I managed to do it well soon. It was a really funny situation to hear your own voice after recording is done.
After the recordings , they gave all of us one gift-hamper kinda bag with DVDs and key-chain and most importantly Ganeshji-idol of SidhhiVinayak .
When I am writing this constantly I am smiling…It’s the same feeling which I had when I first time met sachin tendulkar or I got admission into Nirma …
I may sound over-enthu or over –excited in this post ..the reason may be is that I got this opportunity totally unexpectedly ..
Whatever it is..I am happy…and I am enjoying every moment !!!!
Waiting for tomorrow, when I will be getting my poems with music :D

My poems are going to get my own voice-first radio recording!!

There are times where unexpectedly destiny bestows you with great surprises. last Thursday, on 9th September , we had an event in Ahmedabad , where we had to present planning for the year 2010-11 ‘s activities for our BURD program (Bal Urja Rakshak Dal) ,yes the same program for which I am contributing in website development. (http://burd.org.in/new/ ) , still lot more to do in this , but so far 1820 schools have registered through on-line registration portal.
On that day I had my presentation for the same web site and about the guidelines for registration. As my presentation was last, as and when I got time , I wrote certain lines and then in the break time, I was ready with 2 poems –short poems related to energy conservation and global warming.
I used those poems at the start and at the end of my presentation. All my office heads liked them very much. And then after the program got over, I got to know from our mass communication officer that my poems will be broadcast through our radio campaign for spreading awareness about energy conservation. And luckily all 5 radio channels ‘ Gujarat representatives were right there at the program , so they also liked the work and our Mass com head told me that If I can record them in my voice.
I was pleasantly shocked… I said yes I will !!!..
So,today I am going to the radio station ..for the first time..
I am pretty excited and also anxious a li’l bit…It’s the same feeling which I had when I first went on stage for my debate competition ..or for anchoring…or when I post my blog for the first time..
I will write about my experience once the recording is done..Hopefully all should go well…
Need your wishes..

No IT , It is Renewable Energy Now

The other day my madam told me ‘If you are done with your presentation, Let’s go to CCD’, I smiled, okay!! Thinking about the chocolate walnut brownie, I shut down my PC.

She was shocked to see my quick reaction and told ,’ Have you taken the new document which I gave you in the morning??’ , I surprisingly asked ‘ ma’m, we are going to CCD na!! , so..’ , She laughed and told me…’ohh I forgot you are from IT ..soo CCD means Café Cofee day ..but dear now you are in Solar Energy field..soo CCD here is Climate Change Department..we are going there for our new project work!!! ‘

So.. Here I am in a totally new and different field than IT – The fieldof renewable energy/solar energy..

Though the corporate office layouts and designs are now approaching Government departments and agency and also IT is getting involved in all the main procedures slowly, still there exist many differences …

This field has its own charm but it’s human nature to ‘compare’ things /situations/people and environment..!! So here I go…

Everyday we get tea from ‘Kitli’ instead of the tasteless chai of wending machines , the tea everyday comes with human errors like sometimes with less sugar or lesser milk and so having discussion over the taste has become our everyday routine..

The biggest difference is here we have to deal with people most of the time instead of those 19” non-sensitive screens, and that’s something amazing about this field.

At the same time maintaining all documents on paper and filing them everyday is something tedious when we are habituated of saving data on server and using them.

Here we can directly meet our higher authorities for any problem or concerns and they treat us very well where as we still dint get any chance to meet Mr.Raju and ask him why he did such a in-human ( or can say typically human) vala act ..!!!!!

Now the very drastic difference comes at the time of pet-pooja à when I was in IT as I was away from home, so from morning breakfast to the dinner at night ‘ what to eat?’ was the biggest question and then everyday discussions on Menu , new hotels in the area ,taking coupon , waiting in a queue , discussing a lot many bugs and website development problems on lunch table and doing a lot of fun in the sophisticated STC canteen were the fun factors whereas here we all come with lunch boxes and home made /mom made food and no tensions on foodie factors ..

The terms .NET , JAVA , SQL , links , DBA , PM and bugs are almost rare to hear now , instead Solar , wind , PPA , SPV are some of the new addition in day to day vocab.

Staring at the Solar panel or a wind mill , looking at the good graph of unit generation in the control room , smile automatically comes to my face with a little sign of pride because of the fact that I am contributing in my own way in the green-energy field , this smile of work satisfaction was somewhere missing may be because I was at the right place at wrong time previously , and the only reason to smile was that I was with the right set of people who made my each day memorable at Hyderabad.

I feel lucky as whatever little knowledge I have gained in IT during the wonderful training days is being utilized over here as I am in a team of energy-portal websites development of our organization.

Yes I miss my friends of Hyderabad everyday and my many posts are dedicated to them but as life moves on, today I am at my home and working for my field of interest with His blessings.

Before ending the post would like to mention the funny incident happened today, one visitor came and inquired about one of the staff members in the Solar Cooker department in innocent way “ arey!! Wo cookerme the wo Mr.xyz kaha hai abhi??”

That’s all about me being out of IT and still everyday working and remembering IT along with the new work and job profile .. J
