Appex Human Resources



Hi Guys, This would be my 3rd post in the blog. I wanted to share one of the very special moments of my life.

My Tenure at Appex HR. This was the best time of my life. I spent almost two years in this organization & have met some really beautiful people. I dedicate this post to all of them.

We were all opposites put in one office & made to work together. So you can imagine the chaos & the confusion & the fights. But somewhere we all bonded well, somewhere we were very close especially when it came to supporting each other in the worst of the times.

Right from briefing the candidates for the interviews to making things ready for the drives, Deciding b’day gifts, Sharing dabbas, Decorating the office for Christmas, etc.was our life @ Appex.


Let me start by introducing to all the people:


Cletus Dsouza (Clets)– He ‘s the whole n sole of our office. He’s a consistent performer & major support of our office. He has his own style of working. His sense of humour has also been consistent. He hates making MIS. Very bad at maintaining records. His mom’s pickles were a hit at our office.


Namrata Khanolkar(Namz)-A person full of life. She is 2nd when it comes to performance. Has been a major support for us. She joined us at the right time. She is very fond of makeup, U’ll never see her without an eyeliner & lipstick. Loves playing pranks. We had a blast eating Bhajiyas, Golas and panipuris after work. Has always wiped my tears, was always there to console me. She was very aggressive when it came to work. Emotionally a very strong person.


Clayton Corda (Corda)- The most talented person I have come across. Be it singing, dancing, studies, partying…Corda gets full marks in all of them. Very proud to have a friend like him. His salsa & jive sessions in office were the best stress buster for us. He is crazy about clicking his snaps…at times goes to the extent of even making a video out of it..(hehehe).


Ashley Dsouza(Ash, Mamu)- This boy is mad. His jokes can go upto any levels. His fav line ‘ Babu’… hehe.. uses it for any & everyone. He is a lot of fun to be with. All time entertainer. He has the potential to do many things. He can be very successful but only should use his skills in the rite way. As a person very sweet & understanding. Always smiling…



Juel Dsouza( Baby)- The youngest of all. Very very cute looking. His oneliners were a hit. Was the bakra most of the times. A very charming guy with a sweet smile & pony tail. This poor creature used to get harassed in the rick by the Sr. Maladians while travelling to & fro to office. They scandalized him to such an extent that he decided to come by bike. He cries to eat veg. Would pass on his dabba to us if it was veg.He would sit in the corner and keep passing his valuable comments on everything that would happen in office.


Valentino Victoria (Val )- A very sweet person to be with. Has seen life more than all of us. Can gel with anyone. A very cool & calm person. U will always find him smiling. His salsa classes were very famous in Orlem.He was the 4th Maladian along with Cletus, Juel & Corda.


Eldridge Britto- Last but not the least Our Boss. Has played different roles; sometimes as a boss, sometimes as a collegue and sometimes as a friend. For me he has been the best boss I could ever get. The kind of support & acceptance he gave me was something which I will always cherish. He’s a true Leo. He has the best dressing sense. He was always a part of our mishciefs, our happiness, our tensions etc. Never restricted himself to his cabin. Always taught us to think 2 steps ahead. Be it going for lunches or having hooka at the airport he was always a part of our group.

All of you will always be special to me. I can say that I had the best days of my life at Appex. They have taught me how to enjoy life… I had never laughed in my entire life, as much as I laughed here .

And somewhere even today I wish I could rewind & comeback…

Miss you guys….

"Life’s a blank page,

Each friend holds a pen & writes their own story,

Thanks a lot for covering some wonderful pages of my life…."

Happy Independence Day

Come with me Ill take U to a place where everything is beautiful,

Where people sing & dance to every tune,

Where in Diwali we distribute sweets to everyone,

In Ramzan we pray for the forgiveness of our sins,

And in Christmas we welcome Baby Jesus in our lives.

Come with me Ill take U to a place where people die for each other,

In bomb blasts or in rains, you are never left alone,

Someone will be there who'll tell U "Dont worry,I'm with U",

When U are tired standing in the crowded train there will be someone who'll offer you their seat.

Come with me Ill take to this spiritual place,

Where when a new PC is bought home we put a kumkum & break a coconut before it,

Whenever we cross a temple, mosque or church we stop & pray,

When its our birthday we take the blessings of all the elders in the family,

If someone's suffering our heart says a small prayer.


Come with me Ill take you to a land of freedom fighters,

Where some were quiet & some made noise,

And together they fought till their last breath,

This is the place where our Past sacrificed their Present to make our Future secure,

Where even today we salute our soldiers who are protecting our country at the border,

Who gave up their dreams so that we can sleep peacefully in our homes.

Come with me Ill take U to India -

My World, My Country, My Home,

Where every human being would proudly say---

" I am an Indian "....

My Angel




Wish I had an angel who’d take me to a new world,
Who would take me away from all the problems,
To a place where there would be only happiness & love,

Wish I had an angel,
Who’d guide me through this journey of life,
Who’ll tell me u r special,
& you deserve to smile.

Wish I had an angel,
who’ll show me that this world is beautiful ,
& there are people who love you,

Wish I had an angel,
Who’ll be my best friend,
Who’d listen to me when im angry,
Who’d pamper me when im upset,

Wish I had an angel,
Who’d bring with him,
Lots of smileys ,
And give me one everyday,
So that I could wear it
& look more cuter.

Wish I had an angel,
Who’ll take me to God,
So that I could talk to him,
Ask him that why in this beautiful world
We have to go through so much pain,
Why our life is so short
That we miss to enjoy the special moments,
Why do we have to wait for a lifetime to get justice,
Why is it that life is not fair,
Why do we loose people,
Just before we tell them that ‘I love you’.
And when I meet God,
Ill thank him for giving me everything I wanted in this life,
For giving me an identity of my own,
For making me different from everyone,

Ill tell him that whenever I looked up to the sky,
I felt that he is listening to me,
And next time ill be born as better person,
More sensible ,
More understanding,
More Special....
