February 2013- It’s been six years since I started earning a
livelihood. I wear smart clothes, go to office on time , try to get connected
to the right people, speaks the right thing- more or less this has been the
exercise to earn a living. Over these 6 years I have become all I never wanted
to be. I am thankful that I have learnt some invaluable lessons too. Call it
the evolution of life.
By the time I was in college all I wanted to do was to earn
a huge packet, wear a tie, flirt with the cutest chic and party at the night.
That was the time of economic boom. There was a lot of IT companies hunting for
talent. There was lot of attractive package. Smart guys went around the campus showing
power point slides on why you ought to choose their company. There was one guy
who evevn showed us a video of some pub and said ‘We work hard, party harder’.
After 3 years I decide to move out of the shit hole where
people supposedly party harder. The
decision came in when I learnt the guy sitting next to me was offered double my
hike. Reason- he was ‘critical’ to the company. I was like- Give me a chance to
be ‘critical’. ‘No you must earn it’. ‘What!!’
So I quit the place and joined even more worse one. But I
guess this is what life is all about. Once upon a time I looked down on
salesmen with a certain pity. But today I go from shop to shop trying to sell
obsolete stuff. I hear the shit from uneducated snobs and lovingly call them ‘Dear
Sir’. I open facebook and look upon with envy on my classmates posing with
white snowball, happiness oozing from their reddish face. Then there are guys who mercilessly update
their location from whichever part of world they are in.
May be in coming months I am getting married. But I just don’t
want to spend major part of a day doing things I don’t like. Life looks
miserable
