2013: Joined PageTraffic Webtech as SEO Manager

I was looking for some job opportunities and got a call from PageTraffic Webtech, Noida. On the day of interview, I cleared 4 rounds including written English/communication, Written technical test, System test for site analysis and Face to face technical interview. The HR scheduled the final round with the CEO the next day.

Amongst  these rounds of interview, 3rd round was a bit longer...2 hours analysis on the machine. I was given a shopping portal and I had to analyze the pros and cons, what can be improved from SEO point of view as well as conversion point of view. I got offer letter the next day.

Worked there for almost 3 months, I became very close to the team mates specially onpage members like Sumit, Ankit, Alok and Anupam. All of them are hard working. We worked altogether and solved many issues for process as well as client deliveries. Looking forward for their bright future.

Treating Bells Palsy (Facial Paralysis Treatment)

Steroids are used to cure Bells Palsy by the doctors but it can cause other sideeffects to your kidneys and other organs after you crossed 40s. To cure facial paralysis, there are various treatments in ayurvedic and unani which are effective too. I took treatment from Dr. Ashok Bakhshi (Dr. Kashmiri) in Khatauli (Muzaffarnagar). Bells Palsy can be recovered in 20-30 days but it can take as much time as 3-4 months. Following is the one such treatment I took and recovered 100% when I was 29 during 2012.

Black Day of My Life: 13th Oct 2012

Saturday the 13th....I can't forget till I am alive. I was at home due to weekend, everything was smooth. I took lunch and went to visit Akshardham temple in Delhi. i felt a few disabilities in drinking water and seeing the amazing Musical Fountain. I ignored and went to bed after dinner. Next morning when we woke up, I was feeling some problems in the right half of my face. When my wife saw it she told me that the symptoms are indicating facial paralysis. Both of us were shocked.......

We immediately ran to the nearby hospital named Kailash. Our landlord were also went wirh us. Consulting with the doctor, we were recommended a physician there due to unavailability of neurologist. After taking the medication from the doctor we returned home and informed our parents. Next day, my parents and in-laws reached Noida to see me. They decided to go with Ayurvedic treatment  given at Bambawar village near Dadri. We went to Bambawar where the vaidya recommended some home-made medicines for a week and allowed the medicines suggested by the physician. On the 5th day, my family members decided to visit the neurologist at Kailash Hospital. We left the ayurvedic treatment & visited Dr. Tarun Vijay next day who recommended steroids and some other heavy tablets with physiotherapy exercises. After observing 20 days when ther was no sign of improvement, we changed the treatment and visited Sitadeyi village near Hapur. Vaidya at Sitadeyi recommended some medicines and oil massage on the right head and face. We continued the treatment for 40 days but there was only a minimal improvement in my eye. I could drive car after his treatment.

When the vaidya at Sitadeyi finished his chances, we moved to another Vaidya at Khatauli in Muzaffarnagar. He started with ayurvedic medicines from Baidyanath & Hamdard. In the first 25 days there were no results. He added an alopathic tablet with the running medicines. Fortunately, it worked and I felt some improvement in my lips & cheeks from 13th Jan'13. I am continuing his medication and hoping to feel better in upcoming days/weeks. Hopefully I'll join the office back in Feb'13.

Summer Trip to Rishikesh/Haridwar

27th April 2012...Woke up early in the morning around 3:30AM and got ready for the Rafting Tour of Rishikesh. I and Reshu left at 4 o'clock from Noida, took breakfast on a Dhaba nearby Muzaffarnagar. We reached Haridwar by 11AM, and went to see Holi Ganages river at Har ki Puari on Friday. After driving 22 Kms, we reached Sivpuri, Rishikesh where Guide took us to the Rafting camp. It was the golden moment of my life when we saw river Ganga so closely. We sat on thr stones around the river and started to play with the water. Water was so cold that it took all of the tiredness we had during the journey. In the evening, we left for Jungle Trekking to see the fountain. It was on the vertical height of 1.5 Kms. On returning from trekking, we all sat for chitchat around the bonfire on the bank of Ganga river. Night on river bank was an unforgettable moment, we were walking through the sand and the night was looking gorgeous with full moon. We slept in the camps.

Next morning, we played volleyball and enjoyed a lot before having breakfast. Then it was the time for the magical adventure - Whate water river rafting. Guide Deepak told us how to respond to his commands when we would face rapids and how to react too the situation. We all 6 were sitting in the blue rafting boat. I(Rahul) and Ravi were leading it  and two guides were sitting on the back seat. First rapid was amazing, we all enjoyed that. Our boat was sailing and when we met another rapids - Golf Coarse and others, it was the most adventurous act of our life. We all were trying hard to get out of the rapid as early as possible and high tides were hitting my face directly. AWESOME...can be the only word here. We finally comoleted all rapids of our journey and reached Neam Beach around 2PM on Saturday. Then we left for Neelkanth - holy temple of Mahadev. On return, we came to Haridwar at night.

Next Day, we took breakfast nearby Chetanjyoti Ashram Haridwar and left to visit temples for Chandi Devi, Anjani Mata and Mansa Devi. There was heavy rush and we could visit temples by 4PM on Sunday. We reached to Har ki Pauri immediately, took holi bath and participates in the Ganga-aarti. We can't forget these three days of Rishikesh tour.

Life at ISHIR: First 6 Months

After joining Ishir on 22 Aug'11, it was a pleasant and wonderful journey of my career. In addition to hard work, Ishirites are supposed to participate in lot of cultural activities. I've enjoyed more than 6 such events in just 180 days. 'Bhrashtachar matka phodo abhiyan', 'Diwali Party', 'Chhapo Carbon Copy', 'Disc Party', 'Holi Party' are a few of them. Monthly birthday celebrations and the participation from each employee during it. I can say that I enjoyed every moment that I worked at Ishir. The environment is so good that you never feel the pressure of work here, collegues are highly supporting and highly skilled too.

This was really good time of professional life and I wish to enjoy these moments many more times.
