Power Plants fascinated me when I was in my final year of Engineering : thanks to our professor who taught us the subject !
So it was only natural for me to apply for the prestigious public sector industry NTPC and yes my joy new no bounds having cleared the exam and interview that was held later on in the corporate office in New Delhi!
Thus I kick started my career as a Control and Instrumentation Trainee engineer in the remote thermal powerplant at Singrauli ,all excited. Among the 9 ladies in our batch, there were two of us for C & I and that was a relief !
Our thoughts and likes in life be it arts,books, music overlapped and there was so much in common and so it was only natural that myself and Sarbani ended up becoming fast friends! Together we braved the environment at work which had its own challenges twenty years back. After a year, my final posting was at the gas power plant at Gandhar, Jhanor which was a commissioning site at that point of time.
Looking back at my association with the energy sector, There are two things that I cherish: The work experience gained in the various power plants moulded and shaped me for the future , and I emerged stronger and more worldy wise . The two year journey was deeply enriching and proved an advantage for me in my profession later on and I still carry the same passion for the energy sector as always. Second of course is the bond that I share with my friend philosopher guide – a blessing for life!
