5 years @ Opus..The Beginning
Come 23rd August 2009 .. I will complete 5 years in Opus .. My company Opus !!! (well, not owned by me.. as of now!!!)
Feels like yesterday when i came to Opus for an interview.
Opus Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.. Wakdewadi, Pune.. Frankly, never heard of it ... I badly needed a change....and i got a call from some Sunil from the (ech are)HR. Kudos to Internet Job sites...I had just updated/posted my resume and the very next day I get a call..
It was a Saturday when my interview was "arranged". Just last night i had a party with Amol in Nigdi at Golden Palms... had a lot of beer...refreshed the memories of Fergusson College..had great fun... Never was serious in my life and career... why should i be now...
Saturday morning, 9:30 AM, dressed in a formal white shirt complimented perfectly with a blue jeans!!!.. (not the attire expected for an interview is it!!) I came to Opus office.. Not really impressed with the Reception (or the receptionist!! I have had better :) ). I told the receptionist that i have come for interview.. she said the HR will come and talk to you in a minute. In a minute, that lasted more than 15-20 minutes, came a bit bulky looking individual .. introduced himself as Sunil .. I handed over hard copy of my resume (the only one i had left!!).. He said wait for "some" time, our technical team will be free in "some" time..
After "some" time came a person holding my resume and cried out loud "Faiyaz" .. I looked around... there was nobody else there for an interview (at that moment) why is he shouting... I said I am Faiyaz ... he said come in... He was Mr Bean!!! ... or atleast he looked like him!!!
For the next 40 minutes we played "Who wants to be a Millionaire"...Vivek (Mr. Bean...i was getting sure he was him.!!) asked all possible questions on VC++ and Win32 DLL and COM DLLs. I did not come prepared and had to say "Pass" to many of them.. Then he asked about TCP/IP communication ..and i said now u come to my territory... i answered all the questions he asked..even those he did not ask.... The interview ended on COM DLL's and I was sure that i flunked in the interview.. He said wait outside...I said sh** man ... I have flunked another interview.
I was expecting Sunil to come and tell me the dreadful news, " Thank You for your time. We will get back to you". And then...a miracle ..Sunil comes...out of nowhere he says "u have 'cleared' the first round and can u attend another round now??... I said "Yes" .. (are these guys sure 'I - Faiyaz' has "cleared the interview")
Then in "some" time a guy in a descent T-shirt and Jeans called my name.. I went in .. he introduced himself as Prashant .. no last name!!!... Next 20 odd minutes he asked me almost the same questions that Mr. Bean (Vivek) had asked about TCP/IP communication.. I gleefully answered the questions... Now i was dead sure these guys want a "resource" with experience in TCP/IP and socket communication.. and I certainly was that kind of a "resource".. Prashant gave me a real life scenario and asked questions around it... i was aware of that scenario and answered by citing a real life example.. he was impressed (atleast his face said so...)
I cracked the second round too.. and now here I am completing 5 eventful and adventurous years in Opus... I have seen Opus grow from a 100 people company to 500 people company in these 5 years ... and also saw myself grow from a Software Engineer to a Associate Manager. Opus Rocks!!!!!
P.S. The reason i left my earlier company was just that they did not have a "Sound Card" on my machine and i loved MUSIC. Opus made sure that they had a "Sound Card" on my machine before i came on board :-).

I can sum up life in three words.. "It goes on"
I was reading this book... lying on this comfy bed.... in the deluxe room ....of Sancheti Hospital!!!!
Yes..Sancheti Hospital in Pune...
28th Feb 2003... Fergusson College, Pune..Dept. of Computer Science.. afternoon 3:00 PM...I go to meet Diya in the Electronics department...
She says "Faiyaz, tomorrow is Science Day. We have a "Radio Telescopes" exhibition at Khodad. Me and Amol are going to be volunteers there. Do you want to come, it will be fun?".
I said "hmm.. will try".
She looked at me and gave me a requesting look ..almost saying.. "Please come...there are not many places in pune where we can be alone, hold hands.. and be together"...
Frankly I was dying to go and see Diya!!!
I call up Ashmit asking him to come with me to Khodad. Ashmit is a very old friend of mine (he is of my age...we know each other since 11th..hence old!!!) and a common friend to me and Diya. He said he has cold and a mild fever and would not come.. I insisted and he said "yes".. I was happy we are finally going ....to meet Diya...oops!! to see the exhibition..
1st March 2003.. Naziya, my sister's b'day... I get up at 8 and get ready... wish her, give her the gift i had got for her and drive my Pulsar 150cc (kick start!!) to Ashmit's place. Ashmit was late as usual... he was unwilling to go... he was not feeling well...
i said.. "lets go man cmon..its only 80 KM from here and we will be back by Afternoon... today is India-Pakistan World Cup Match... We will not miss that .. Sachin Tendulkar is surely gonna kick some pakistani a**".
"OK ok "
Reluctantly he came.. i asked him
"where is your helmet"...
"its ok man dont worry.. U have your helmet... dont worry about me"
And off we go ... Diya ... I am coming !!!....
Khodad is 80 KM from pune towards Nashik. Me and my MCS colleague had gone to Nashik in the last week on the same bike. So i knew the road pretty well (atleast i thought so!!). So we filled up the tank on the way and cruised on the Pune Nashik Highway. At about 10 I thought lets take a break and have a smoke... A maruti 800 was ahead of me and the bugger was driving too slow...i thought i will overtake it and then take a stop at the next pan tapri.. I took my bike slight towards the right to overtake and.............
11 Days have passed...
I am reading this book...lying on this comfy bed ... just out of the ICU... after 2 critical operations on my right leg....in the deluxe room of Sancheti Hostpital.... Diya is sitting right next to me... tiny droplets in her beautiful black eyes....
6 Years have passed ...
I have no problems with the leg now... I can ride.. I can drive.. I am married.... I am in Pune...
Diya is married too... She is in the US... has a 3 year old kid.
Ashmit is married too ... He is in Mumbai....
I can sum up life in three words... "It goes on"
Pyaar Humein Kis Mode Pe Le Aaya..
Ke Dil Kare Hai!! Koi yeh Bataye Kya Hoga...

1st March 2003.. Naziya, my sister's b'day... I get up at 8 and get ready... wish her, give her the gift i had got for her and drive my Pulsar 150cc (kick start!!) to Ashmit's place. Ashmit was late as usual... he was unwilling to go... he was not feeling well...
i said.. "lets go man cmon..its only 80 KM from here and we will be back by Afternoon... today is India-Pakistan World Cup Match... We will not miss that .. Sachin Tendulkar is surely gonna kick some pakistani a**".
"OK ok "
Reluctantly he came.. i asked him
"where is your helmet"...
"its ok man dont worry.. U have your helmet... dont worry about me"
And off we go ... Diya ... I am coming !!!....
Khodad is 80 KM from pune towards Nashik. Me and my MCS colleague had gone to Nashik in the last week on the same bike. So i knew the road pretty well (atleast i thought so!!). So we filled up the tank on the way and cruised on the Pune Nashik Highway. At about 10 I thought lets take a break and have a smoke... A maruti 800 was ahead of me and the bugger was driving too slow...i thought i will overtake it and then take a stop at the next pan tapri.. I took my bike slight towards the right to overtake and.............
11 Days have passed...
I am reading this book...lying on this comfy bed ... just out of the ICU... after 2 critical operations on my right leg....in the deluxe room of Sancheti Hostpital.... Diya is sitting right next to me... tiny droplets in her beautiful black eyes....
6 Years have passed ...
I have no problems with the leg now... I can ride.. I can drive.. I am married.... I am in Pune...
Diya is married too... She is in the US... has a 3 year old kid.
Ashmit is married too ... He is in Mumbai....
I can sum up life in three words... "It goes on"
Pyaar Humein Kis Mode Pe Le Aaya..
Ke Dil Kare Hai!! Koi yeh Bataye Kya Hoga...

Here I am.. this is me...
To my readers.. This is my First Voyage in the Seas of Blogging. Inspired by Prachi Paranjape-Joshi to blog... and here we go...
The name is Shaikh...Faiyaz Shaikh...... Naam to suna nahi hoga ..pakka nahi suna hoga!!!!
Also known to some as "faidya", called as "faiju" by aunts , known as "baabu" to my mum and and last but not least...my sister calls me "Kaalu"!!! she is such a racist!!!!
Who am I ..?
I am this normal, straight (worth mentioning as it matters the most, these days!!!), happy-go-lucky kinda guy who loves life, loves to enjoy ... freak out (self and others) and do all the sane things that would even shame insanity.. We are truly of a "rare" breed... To sum up .. I m just an insaan(e)
What did I learn ..?
Parents have taught me to live in a society, girlfriends have taught me to live in isolation, office has taught me to live in stress and friends have taught me to enjoy... hushh!!! been through so many teachers!!! No wonder I am learned.
Languages I know ...?
Smile!!!!... that's it... i can smile and have no two thoughts about it...
Anyways, I do know all the languages in the world...not exaggerating!!!.. seriously... just searched from google the names of the languages... Point to be noted is I can speak,read and write English, Hindi and my beloved language Marathi... Urdu I understand when somebody can translate to Hindi or English ... and same with the other worlds languages.
For now ...this is enough ...for this is all the time i have for now... see you soon..
Main Akela hi chala tha..jaanibe manzil ki taraf..
Log milte gaye aur karvaan ban gaya
