The EVS effect :-) & sideffects :-(

,
This post is on popular demand of my friends:
Its been 10 days now, out of my comfort zone (refer my last post). And as I sit back on the cushioned chair in ‘my’ EVS office, on ‘beach time’ ( which means free time) after a long, tiring & relatively boring project ( all those adjectives are very carefully chosen), its time to introspect, circumspect & retrospect on the chain of events & their consequences too!
Exhilarating: They say you have to see it, to believe it. Before joining EVS, I had a very positive feedback about the no.1 KPO in the world… & I am glad to say that EVS has lived up to its reputation! Once you enter into cyber park, gurgaon into their offices, you can almost feel the difference. Their motto is: Quality & its almost remarkable how they not only follow it but also exceed the standards most of the times… You are a part of an elite class here, amongst the best brains in the country & from abroad too: IITians, IIM grads & the cream from all the reputed institutes.
Venerate: They almost demand respectfulness in whatever they do: in interaction with clients or with employees or with anybody else & most importantly they respect everybody too! Its almost an unsaid & self-understood principle here.
Skillful, strategic & sublime: They follow this “3 S” rule. They have a group of highly skilled & motivated people working for a project, those who strategize well in advance & then are sublime in their execution, always delivering 100 when the client has just asked for 10.
This was the EVS effect..!!
But once you move out of this majestic workplace, not everything is rosy here…
Because then you look at gurgaon & its side-effects:
Take out the malls, skyscrapers & some other time-pass places here & the place is in a complete mess! Yes I don’t like it at all (at least till now, hope my perception changes though!) , it’s a tough & fast life out there, you have to run for everything: from finding a good place to live ( believe me its an uphill task to find a decent PG in all respects), there are power-cuts, the heat is scorching, the food & water is not upto the mark ( as a result of which I have been very ill, the last few days), its one of the most unsafe places in the country, the whole place becomes a muddy swimming pool whenever it rains ( irrespective of the quantity),i.e, the drainage system is pathetic & the people are anything but warm & caring!
All in all, a sea change from the world of “dehradun” ( which incidentally remains my favourite destination till now & by a good enough margin).
There is more but I would not dwell about it now… ( actually have to submit the project now & the beach time is over)…
So all in all its been a mixed bag till now…
But I sincerely hope that EVS continues to march forward in its quest for excellence & I contribute my level best to it!
And I also hope that I have been seriously mistaken in my assessment of gurgaon!
Till next post ( read beach time), good bye & take care…
Great....U make me miserable and Jealous every time u Talk abt EVS...
For sure this mixed bag will lop-side
to the way u want it to be.
Have a nice time.

Hey...i think the orientation people should borrow some stuff from you about EVS...lol...
I do agree with u in all respects but one thing i want to add is " Its too proffessional"....
interesting..
hmm.. i think, its rightly said, a coin always has 2 sides.. but, i wish, u have a good stay ahead, but the fact will always remain,gur'gaon' will never bcum dehradun.. :(
rest, waiting 2 read sm more finer details abt everythng .. (u can talk abt people, readers wont mind reading dat, i thnk they wud enjoy dat.. :) )
my best wishes for ur work at EVS.
Popular demand should always be heeded to :)
Professionally written. Almost led me to suspect tht the evals people had actually bribed you into writing this :D
Jokes apart, nice to see someone waxing eloquent about their first job. Normally its the kind where people actually dwell upon wearing off of the novelty and scratching beneath surfaces.
Interesting read:)
hmm! my first visit to ur blog has been most fruitful.. gives me enuf reasons to STOP considering shifting to Gurgaon from Delhi!
The first part looks more of an EVS ad.. u shud invite ashish gupta to read ur blog! :P (though being in the same organization i don't agree with all the stuff.. :( )
a nice read overall..
@ rishabh
well actually thats my motive to make u jealous :)
thanx for ur wishes...
@ shuchita

@ sidharth
thanx for ur wishes...
ya i wld keep u updated with all finer details for sure... but yet not decided abt making it public :)
rest ofcourse, doon is the best..!!
@ arunabh

henceforth, my views here :)
@ mridul
thanx... ya u should not even think abt cuming to gurgaon... abt evs: it was my own experience & it wld ofcourse vary from person to person...
keep visiting :)
Hey...felt nice to know that u r working around such Intelligentsia....and yeah the whole of places like Gurgaon, Noida etc suck coz outside malls they have nothing , not even clean air....
Thats how it is, it does feel miserable at times.
@ richa
ya it is infact a great experience to be amongst the best talents... but it also brings huge responsibilities with it... & my perception is still the same: gurgaon is pathetic :-(
anywaz keep visiting :-)
Jitin sir, really impressed! Good to know that u think so highly abt EVS, but end of the day its a corporate! i think where EVS lacks the most is maturity. Aneways, i wont tak much abt this as the company is better than the 1000 others. You are abs correct in saying that GGN stands nowhere in comparison to Dehra. Dehradoon is an amalgamation of simplicity, serenity and ethereal beauty, whereas in GGN its professionalism,professionalism and professionalism...sigh!Keep up the good work of posting such wonderful blogs:)
@ rachit
thanx for the appreciation sir! i am really delighted :)
well being so experienced u must be knowing EVS in great detail! Hence, u know all the pros & cons... But it is defnitely better than many!
Also kudos for using such emphatic adjectives for dehradun. And doon deserves all of them too :)
its my favourite for sure & much better than ggaon's professionalism!!!
I wld continue blogging sir!
keep visiting!
you have motivated me to be into evs sir :)
