My first CORPORATE DATE.....direct from office

My work has ended already and thus starts the herculean task of passing time before I can leave….its not that I don’t like being here, but the very fact that everyone is very busy (its financial year closing time here) and thus they are unable to allot any wok to us and thus we are totally free but bound to the clutches of the office walls and discipline…

I started my first “corporate date” just 4 days ago and already passing time has become an issue…well the first day was classic in its own sense…we were two joinees and we reached office before time at 9:15 AM and thus paid the price of waiting for some extra time…we had to wait for an hour or so before some came to brief us…she briefed us for half an hour and then left us on our fate before one of our seniors bumped into us and introduced us to the entire staff….some time passed…

Everyone questioned our date of joining and said that we should have joined after 1st April only…but some said its good that u have joined now….this period of 6-7 days can be your “honeymoon period”…no work…no one to monitor u….just enjoy and relax….there was one more question which was directed towards us by almost everyone and this was “which team u are allotted in?” and we had no answer to that…

So after meeting the entire staff, we went on to have our lunch and for that we went to the food court downstairs and that helped the clock to tick fast for us…when we came back, the lady that briefed us in the morning caught us again and then we were allotted to teams and (un)fortunately I am in the team of a person who makes everyone work very hard…

Then I was shown my seat and given some documents to read…..now starts the fun…post lunch time and some uninteresting docs to read….no prizes to be given to judge what happens next…I find myself sleeping in the office…..so I went to the cafeteria to have some coffee and found one of my colleague there and did some chit chat with him….he said pass ur time till 4 yaar then IPL will start, so come to cafeteria and watch the match…

So this is how I spent my first day in office….
The next two days went relatively cooler for me…since I was given some work to do and this kept me busy and I got some learning too….nevertheless we will have to find ways to pass time till at least 1st April (closing ends and new financial year begins)…

Do I really deserve this degree??? I guess not !!!

So here I am.....an MBA i.e. Master of Business hmmm something...(lemme google this to find out) Google - MBA's biggest friend apart from his laptop, movies, sitcoms, serials, live sports and sleepless nights ( I m not forgetting the unforgettable and great friends that I made here....friends here include living human beings)

Someone asked me the biggest take away from these two years.....without giving a second thought I said - HOSTEL LIFE...yeah...its true.....not any knowledge,....not the degree...not even my job....I'll say the hostel life as my biggest take away from these two years.....this was my first time and hence not only did I enjoyed a lot but I also got to learn a whole lot of things which can't be described in words.

If somebody has to ask me what I did during these two years, my answer would be that I became a pro in "seep" (game of cards) and contributed in making many more the same. Apart from this, I learnt to play volley ball, then tennis and then started playing TT after a very long time. Enough of sports,...hmm....I watched movies (Hindi movies for a change...thanks to my roomie), series, sitcoms and documentaries. And if there was some time left....did some assignments and studies (just for a few hours during the exams)

So looking at this, no body will agree to the question that "Do I really deserve this Degree???" and now when I have the time to retrospect and introspect, I also feel the same....It looks like I have wasted a couple of years of my life enjoying....but still i am happy since I can't...in no way...can get these two years of my life back....

Those sleepness nights during the exams..trying to do the last minute studies...trying to gauge the paper by looking at the last years' papers...dividing the chapters and then combined studies (even if the no. of chapters were very less)...Those superb cut copy paste assignmnets that we did and submitted in pdf format to avoid getting the plagiarism check or spending time to change the language (just a word here or there to get a less % of plagiarism)....The allegations that i have done the entire project and u have done nothing.....the delegation of work.....u do this..u do this...u get the print out.....and I will present.....and then fights...no i will not do this....i did this last time.....just like small kids.....

Fighting for seats in the quizzes....cursing the teacher for not letting us cheat or changing the seat at the last moment....of for taking a quiz in the class in which we were absent......and many a times (almost every time) cursing him/her for taking a quiz in the first place,.....

Then how can we forget the parties...the late night Traditional MDI parties....especially the farewell party for the seniors....that was awesome....everyone at his/HER best.....then comes the awesome mess....don't have words to express here..so no comments......

To all my friends who made these two years unforgettable...thanks...thanks a lot...I love u all....very much....I can't and will never ever forget these happy moments.....
........THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.........
