CA Talk at Poornima Institute of Engineering & Technology – Jaipur

I left for Jaipur from Bangalore in the morning of 16th. I had a talk scheduled at 3 PM. When I was at the airport, I got a call from the CA from Jaipur, Saumya telling me that the talk was cancelled as the faculty had no clear idea on what it was about. I told her that I am anyway coming and boarded the flight. The flight took me through Mumbai and it was a tiring long journey.

I reached the Jaipur airport at around 2 PM and I had CAs, Rahul Mittal, Arjun Sharma waiting for me at the airport along with a great guy Vaibhav (Rahul’s friend). They drove me around the city and were so very caring. We had some juice on the way and the temperature difference for me was unbearable.

We reached the college and I met Saumya who was organizing the event. Saumya had by that time pestered the faculty to somehow allow her to do the event as she had already planned it. Thankfully, they obliged. We were escorted in and I was summoned by the Director and Placement Officer. I met them and  talked about how Freshersworld.com can create a difference and how we can help place students. They were quite convinced and happy. The fact that the Faculty members are not involved in the planning of the event is something that they didn’t really like. Saumya invited students from other colleges and there was some confusion regarding the whole event. However, I empower people and I believe that by doing this, we can create more leaders around us. But I think this is good learning that we have to involve the complete Management when planning events in the future. They will also feel happy and we can get real help from them.

We then proceeded to the hall and I was overwhelmed to see a packed audience of about 600 students. The coordinators had done an awesome job and there was a lot of activity going on. After a warm welcome, I took center stage. The students were excellent and they really interacted well. The students felt they were enlightened after the presentation and I really found satisfaction after this. I was also given a small memento as a token of appreciation and the Director so loved the presentation that he summoned me again to his office. We spoke a lot about how we can bring about change and the Director went ahead and decided give me accommodation in the College Guest House.

After the event, the CAs were happy and we were all pumped up. It was time to party!

After some rest, we decided to hit the city and went to Sheesha first. The rooftop from Sheesha gives an awesome view of the city. After interaction, I suddenly started feeling nostalgic about my times in NIT Surat. The CAs were so welcoming and they were asking me, Sir, What do you want to do next? I said, I want to check out some thelas where they sell omlettes and other items. We decided to do that and we were suddenly on the roads of Jaipur hunting for food. After some cheema at the egg shop, we left for the Gandhinagar station for tea.

I came back to the guest house at around 1 PM.

I would like to thank Rahul Mittal, Arjun Sharma, Saumya Chaturvedi, Vaibhav Rastogi, Pratik Khandelwal, Sandeep Gupta and Shanshank for all the help and the fun time. Shashank brought 40 students from his college 50 kms away to attend the prsentation.

Today morning, the CAs are taking me sightseeing and I will then leave for New Delhi.

The CAs in Jaipur rock! Awesome start for me. Now, which city can beat them?
