food! not that it was all we thought of, but
it was a constant source of fun. apart from
pondering over office projects like the
sachivalaya and civil package, the amount
of enjoyment that came with eating is
something i’ll always miss.
be it ordering sandwiches in the evening;
or post lunch walks to get chhaas, lassi or
paan; or the ice cream at natarani; or the
general chatter over many shared lunch
boxes; food was a component of many
small experiences that together made
amdavad a cherishable experience.

the 16 weeks...of immense learning,
meticulous drawings, site visits, amiable
colleagues...of braving the scorching heat
for the sake of conversation and a daily
butter milk at Natrani...of staring at black
screens, reviews, meeting deadlines, office
gossip, evening hunger-pangs, nashto party,
trainee-sessions... of random moments
of homesickness, of craving for some
authentic south Indian filter kaapi, of falling
in love with the gujarati snacks, of exploring
the vibrant land...ahmedabad has been a
place of many firsts. an experience that was
truly gratifying!

I would like to thank hcp for giving me
an opportunity to work in this office during my training tenure. while working in
this office, I got exposure to sites and
various training sessions, which simultaneously turned my whole perspective
towards the projects. at last, I would like
to thank all the staff members in project
management studio specially amitbhai
and chiragbhai for providing me continuous guidance during my training period.

both, interning at hcp, and staying
in ahmedabad have been awesome
experiences. exposure to work, and
meeting so many people from all
across the country (and beyond)
made it all the more fun!
though hectic, work was very satisfying, and the weekend trips were
thrilling and always something to
look forward to. without hcp and
the people i met there, ahmedabad
would never have been even half as
enjoyable.

though not an ‘authentic’ trainee (as
shaikh sir puts it, an ‘honorary’ one);
i thoroughly enjoyed my time with the
actual trainees.
be it over lunch at natarani, or on
marathon travel weekends to kachchh,
diu or palitana; time spent with the
interns was great, and i hope to get a
chance to visit their hometowns for a
more in-depth experience.

simply writing about my experience
at hcp fills me with great memories.
in a short span of four months, i
learnt loads and made so many great
friends.
contrary to my apprehensions, my
studio colleagues made me feel
comfortable right from day one, and
continue to be so. add to that the
trainee sessions, the weekend trips,
the city outings; and i can surely say
that training at hcpdpm is absolutely
memorable...
yo hcp!!!

A gut in my throat is what I had on my
first day in hcp, but since then it has been
nothing less than a roller coaster ride…
each day a new experience…be it running
around for prints, working late, staring
at the silent river sabarmati, laughing
my heart out on‘maulik’s jokes’, learning
cad shortcuts from ‘ankit’, irritating the
srk fanatic ‘jyotsna’, fooling around with
‘ruchir’, eating “sanjay”…or be it setting out
on new explorations every Friday night and
snoring early every Monday morning…the
entire journey finally summing up with an
amalgamation of some serious learning and
a few products of creative minds together.

observed drastic change between my
college & office life…the first day being
the most unusual day…inspite of several
welcome & farewell parties at the office, I
missed my college life. i felt that the system of payment on hourly basis is good,
but it tempts everyone for late night working…. irrespective of work being there
are not. i missed my college friends but
at the same time, i met students from
different states. after the experience of 5
months, i now feel like a professional &
have almost forgotten my college life…a
special thanks to hcp & Project management department for this experience!!

my tenure at hcp was a great blend of
varied emotions, with the rendezvous of
work and fun setting a good balance. the
excitement of exploring the place kept
me on my toes, while the friends i made
remain the greatest asset.
this period marked my initiation into
professional life and the responsibilities it
would entail. being at hcp was probably
the best way to go around doing the
same.

Ahmedabad has been like Santa’s bag
carrying loads of happy memories, so, I
can’t pick out a moment since I cherish
them all. From the extended lunch hours
on the deck and dining hall followed by
a definite visit to Natarani to ceaseless
language learning endeavours where in
Sminu taught me Malayalam and I taught
her Farsi, Ahmedabad, especially HCP
will always make me reminisce the good
times!

training at hcp was a mixed experience
with great learning both inside and out
of studio. And if simply said, ‘it was not
a piece of cake’. oh.. but wait, may be
it was. It was more like the cake-thatis-baked-by-me. just like ‘my cake’, my
training had soft and sugary parts in the
center filled with many surprising currants.
But it had another feature, the burnt sides,
though a little bitter in taste but nonetheless tasty and in demand. i am thankful
to all those people who contributed to my
learning and successful training there.

rigidity in designing is a trademark at
hcp, something i as an individual lack.
so i couldn’t fathom the need to align
every single wall when the idea of free
floorplates had liberated room sizes way
back in the sixties.
but a fellow cabin mate was kind enough
to point out that hcp has a suffix dpm
attached to it that represents a whole
annexe of the firm dedicated to the
succesful completion and delivery of
work. i hereby subject myself to hcp
discipline in order to imbibe the firm’s
seamless efficiency.
