MNC culture brings with it loads of new things to learn from.. so did jnj.. they followed a very nice system to keep the office live and happening.. and one of these initiatives was Fuze.. This was a team to bring about cross functional interaction.. We named it Fuze, with clear intentions of saying that’s it’s a fusion of different individuals and yet are team..
Our team earned different names with characteristics associated with people.. like confused, defuzed, refused and so on.. weird as they sound we enjoyed it.. (ofcourse pet names are generally given to people you like..). For me this team has been a living experience.. I met few most amazing people and here is a line or two on each..
Adi (full name to be Aditya) always hyper.. our front end for any kind of arguments and need not say he always won.. the first thing that you always heard from Adi for any kind of event proposed was a “NO”.. whatever be the reason he was the one who always helped during the odd times.. and had shortcuts ready for every occasion..
Nilesh.. other than his liking for bright colors he had this strange presence of mind and amazing writing skills.. the first thing I remember about Nilesh and fuze was his way of getting in the team – I would term it ‘forceful’ (because he managed coming in without us wanting him – no regrets for it though).. he brought with him the enthusiasm and a out of box approach..
Meenal – Also known as VP fuze.. is a totally chilled person I know.. she has no worries what so ever and can handle situations to a perfect t.. knows whom to give back and how.. I think it was the ease of working with her that brought he best in all of us..
Aruna – Simple yet with loads of ideas.. she is the one who would think logically.. we all were random thinkers but she knew exactly what would work.. if there is anyone who would be the perfect example of a good listener it ought to be aruna.. she brought with her immense patience and a totally mature outlook..
Snehal.. we call her snail (pronounced in a slight westernized accent).. though she looked dull every afternoon she was the one who would wait late to get things organized.. ofcourse we were always worried if she could handle it.. haha.. but she brought with her amazing contacts and a very personalized way of getting things done..
Nidhi.. would be difficult writing for her.. she is as spontaneous as you can think.. speaks her mind out totally.. what surprises me the most is her love for ‘the states’ (that’s where she did he studies) and their culture.. she could just go on and on discussing it.. her selection in the fuze team for her was more ‘by force than by will’.. but a totally amazing lady with brains.. :)
Ofcourse we had Meghna and Bhupi too..
But this is the team which means a lot to me today even after leaving the company.. Love you all guys.. muaahh!!

Genius
Genius, like gold and precious stones,
is chiefly prized because of its rarity.
Geniuses are people who dash of weird, wild,
incomprehensible poems with astonishing facility,
and get booming drunk and sleep in the gutter.
Genius elevates its possessor to ineffable spheres
far above the vulgar world and fills his soul
with regal contempt for the gross and sordid things of earth.
It is probably on account of this
that people who have genius
do not pay their board, as a general thing.
Geniuses are very singular.
If you see a young man who has frowsy hair
and distraught look, and affects eccentricity in dress,
you may set him down for a genius.
If he sings about the degeneracy of a world
which courts vulgar opulence
and neglects brains,
he is undoubtedly a genius.
If he is too proud to accept assistance,
and spurns it with a lordly air
at the very same time
that he knows he can't make a living to save his life,
he is most certainly a genius.
If he hangs on and sticks to poetry,
notwithstanding sawing wood comes handier to him,
he is a true genius.
If he throws away every opportunity in life
and crushes the affection and the patience of his friends
and then protests in sickly rhymes of his hard lot,
and finally persists,
in spite of the sound advice of persons who have got sense
but not any genius,
persists in going up some infamous back alley
dying in rags and dirt,
he is beyond all question a genius.
But above all things,
to deftly throw the incoherent ravings of insanity into verse
and then rush off and get booming drunk,
is the surest of all the different signs
of genius.
Mark Twain
Allow me the honor of adding a description to what I thought of unofficial- Face of Fuze;
She had to send the initial crazy starter idea for all of us to build on and the moment we would start spouting our ideas, she would try to knock them down with logic then complain that we are not coming out with "Fun" ideas!!!
But apart from that it was fun being around people who cold accept some form of craziness and make it come true with the events!!!
