Chapter 4: Ankur.Garg@workplace.com Part I

Hi all....

Uhhhh....M glad I'm done with chapter 3 yaar...!!!coz u know its a different thing when you're penning down rubbish about yourself but for the first time while blogging i felt a certain pressure to make things as perrrfect as they could be coz i wanted to sculptize the most perrfect things in this world as perfectly as possible....F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Hmm...u know one of my friends told me that i should write about something that they have been oblivious to about me....n except for those 2 humanly incomprehendable BITSians at my workplace(who i hope will read this crap someday..n who've been by some divine intervention still  not been Garganated ...!!) not much really know the ins n outs of what has been transpiring for the last 2 months inside the 4 walls of the semi-constructed deathly gallows some call their "Office"....

Well I used the word "gallows n then not being sure of exact its meaning i looked up at the word web...

GALLOWS- a wooden frame, consisting of a crossbeam on two uprights, on which condemned persons are executed by hanging...

n i realized how perrfectly it describes the place that i spend the "productive" 10 hrs of my weekdays...!!!

Condemned i was on September 3, 2007 when somehow, even though i had till then been declared unfit to be stuffed into one of those mass recruiting kennels had found a shepherd ( shepherd coz they compel to existing as such sheepish individuals..!!!) who lured us by promising greener pastures n took outright advantage of our professional naivety...!!!

Executed was July 7, 2008...the day we became "Bonded Labourers" after signing 51 fate sealing blue pages which even though were yelling out the blunderous decision we were making to seal the deal here, we were at that point more than glad to fall for the trap...!!!

First look at the office was hmm...IMPRESSIVE...CP (naah not Connaught Place, its my first office i told you people about, just dont wanna get things controversial by revealing identities!!)...home to 1000ands of working professsionals from all global Geographies..(one of the first things i noticed at my workplace...)...all running the same rat-race of life...( yaa man rats is what the rigours of life makes us..!!)....the obvious look around for the "BANDIYA KAISI HAIN...( DCE Mech for 4 yrs man...any food seems hoggable after 4 yrs of fasting..!!")...looking out fr college mates, couple of them there...signing docs....opening my first salaried account....PPT's n more of them, each more irrelevant than the other....meeting new n interesting people....getting to know y some others jumped into the well with you....the first week flew by in a jiffy....

I actually enjoyed the first couple of weeks in office....liked the setting....being predominantly with people of same qualificational backgrounds as mine...enjoyed sharing the experiences of 4 of the most glorious years of our lives n realizing the strking similarities in tech schools around this country..!!n all the training sessions nostalgisizing the student in me...just that had comfy chairs n air conditioned settings to doze off in swank conference halls....those aimless afternoons at Barista's n Costs's n Pizza Hut....guesstimating the number of fags being lit at the central court of CP in a day....xploring the extent to which the human body could pepsify n soupify itself(free beverage was quite a revelation for us n our tummies in our formative corporate years..!!yaa Anni m still hooked on the Soupoy..!!) ...n guess what, we were getting paid for all this..!!!wow man life was looking up..!!!

But then the one above us all realized that this kid hasn't done anything in the last 21 years to deserve such joys in his professional life...So he opened the folder named Ankur.Garg, double clicked on workplace, selected JOY and pressed SHIFT+DEL...

He shifted my office from the festivities of CP to the Gallows of SEZ....

N that's where it all ended...n it all began....

TO BE CONTINUED........
