Being On Bench...

A Job is a "dream accomplished" for an engineering grad. Its like water oozing out after a 4 year long dig. Though I dont remember doing much of hard work i actually did, but a Job was the best thing to happen to me. After that, everything was a roller coaster ride. In Training, came a reincarnation of Sergent Major Katil Singh. Though he dint have a knife or a gun, the moustaches were the same. His talks and actions were no less than that of a Army General. Sometimes he made us wonder whether we were in the s/w industry or flying a Sukhoi. Any ways those Long Nights ended atlast and we were inducted into project. The initial days were tough and grilling, but the support of our seniors made us sail thru.

Then came the best part of our lives. Fun/Frolic/Acclaims/Pat on our backs became the order of the day. All was well except the money inflow. The Mgt tried there best, but a wall without foundation soon colapsed, even those ultra motivating words from bhagwatgita dint help. So all these "Hackeneyed" remarks..etcs.... soon became too much too bear.. So it was time too move.

After all the lengthy process of application/interview/selection/joining. I finally found myself on "Bench". Though its not exactly a bench... its just the leasure period where you dont have any work. Your access card is yet to be activated so "No Attendance" which means push off whenever you feel. You have access to all internet resources so check mails whenever you like. You have a desk fone...so call whomever you like.... and best of all at the end of the day a beautiful girl comes in and asks "Hope you dint get bored, Iam trying my best to accomodate". Now who the hell wants to work !!!! Thought I know that this princely treatment aint gonna last long... iam making the most out of it.

So people being on Bench isnt really that Bad........

"Nasha Sharab me hota to nachti botal..."

"Dog is Mans best freind", whoever said this may not have had the previledge of tasteing "Haywards". Although many people refrain from even uttering the word "Alcohol", its an amazind experience to be "High'. The whole world around you suddenly feels like heaven. The shabby picture of the angels of your dreams come allive & you are transformed to a state which i call as "Halaluya".

I remember the unforgetteble memories of "Roost". For whoesover knows it, knows well that tasteing Haywards in the open sky with dew drops falling all around, not only gets you "High" but also drains out the monotonous & strenuous lifestyle we abide by. It acts as a Energy boost for the "Hoi Polloi" ....which we are. 'Cause we have many thing to worry about.

"Daru" not only helps you evolve but also strengthns relationship bonds. Although I have been lucky not to be in a company of soakers, it was always a memorable time to spend wit a wine bottle. One such time I remember spending with "Neta'. His name was given 'cause of the offbeat positions he took just before his snaps were clicked. His laughter could shackle the world around & his message ring tone "Message Aaya Message Aaya Message Aaya" was loved by all. We also shared some common problems...like "Hair Loss"... "Broken Relationships"....quit smoking resolutions etcs.... His company was always preffered by me for the lovely outings in "Roost"/"Chamundi". For now he is burdened by the "IIIT Legacy", to which he is doing full justice, He has to keep up to the "Fundu Logic Fundoo Logic" :)

Three Stags.. One Married.. And "My Baby"

This is a story of how four people screwed one sexy little "Baby".... Just kidding !!
Its about people who followed the RDB rebellion and broke away from "11am tea 1pm lunch 4pm tea" schedule and GOT NOTICED. Most of you must have already visited the cubicle which makes a hell lotta !! noise on the ground floor. The Sound Decibels made by this humdrum is only 2nd to __ (Ofcourse u know who ??).

But if you are yet to witness this crazy little cubicle where people are some times "Daggers Drawn" & at times "Throwing Flying Kisses" to each other, you missed as to what these people mention as "Phun At Work" Concept.

People here are very disciplined and obedient. Some come at 9am sharp. Others NEVER come at 9am (Thats also discipline). People say they are very efficient, but actually its the effective result of OVERESTIMATION :), But the nucleus of all the notoriusness is "Baby"... Though her days used to start/end by frustration 'cause of people not understanding her. She manages to fiddle with anything/everything she gets her hands on. Even when she looks quiet... its the silence before the storm... thats how i once noticed that if she stands quietly for sometime... she was actually about to FART.... Her love and effection is so consuming... that people get chocked... She once held me close to her bossom...N I COULDNT BREATH :).... besides her, there's a new entrant who's not mischeivious... but his "GREAT OXFORD CHALLENGE" just cant go un-noticed. He is the one who taught me "VACATED IS PERMANENT" and "HAVING LEFT IS TEMPORARY"

Apart from the people above... few even get a chance to get noticed.... so some just laugh there way out of the jokes cracked... some watch/share nice mails... Although one is married and having a great time.... he is often taken to task by BABY.. she is envious of any other female being talked about. I once remember I went out for lunch with this "Married guy".. He never took luch with me though...he preffered to have the same with his wife... so when I was done having mine... I called him up to pick me up... He received the call.... but made a very sad noise "AIYYOOOO".... which made me undersatnd how precious lunch times become when you are married ;)

to be continued...
