Employee Version
I was the brightest one in the whole crowd and I was very happy that, the day I step out of the campus I’d be employed. I wanted to perform at my best, add to my employer’s efficiency, being productive at a lesser cost.. What not!! Like any fresher!! I’d loads of dreams.
And one fine day, all the necessary papers were signed and I was officially employed.
It was all fine in the initial few days (yes, only days!!). I was fed full stomach, washed and serviced on time!! Even I always tried bringing more smiles on my employer’s face. Everything was just perfect, till the time, this lady employer of mine started behaving like any typical lady drivers!! Goshh!! To hell, with her sense of driving!! Always jumping signals and say sorry to Cops!! I hate the way, the cop checks me out, in such situations!! Not my mistake!! Top of it, when I met with my first accident, I was crying my heart out for the scar I had on my nose, but this stupid gal went around happily telling everyone that, she hit a police vehicle and got away with a smile!! Any care n concern about me!! No way!!
Moreover, she daydreams!! happily singing song while riding, looking at the hoardings for timepass, what not! It has become my responsibility to be extra careful and drop her to her place!! Sigh!!
I have now developed a sense of being ignored, not being appreciated for all my efforts. And everyday ride is nothing but just a routine for me!

Employer Version
How many ever sweet friends I’ve, I didn’t like the feeling of being “Dependent”. For the very reason I decided to buy a two wheeler for myself. The biggest hurdle was my over protective mom. Tried my best, convinced and zeroed on buying a Honda Activa. I just love my vehicle. I feel I’m a free bird to fly to places anytime. I, no more have to wait for autos or any of my friends to pick me or drop me!!
But, with petrol price hike, I no more fill it full tank. Just as much as I want for the day. And even servicing, I just take it to the near by Garage once a while. Doing my bit to keep the vehicle functioning efficiently.
What??? Should I’ve to keep saying thanks to the vehicle!! Doesn’t make sense to me! In spite of any amount of appreciation, mileage is not going to shoot up!!

I know you are there
The rarest of rare
You walked out my life
And now I'm despair
You've filled all my mind
My thoughts are all yours
Now you've left me alone
I am numb and love blind
Please come back to me
And bring back my peace
Let's show the whole world
Our love's not so weak
My life's out of order
It's only just getting harder
Can you get our smile back
And make it a little broader

Seriously feeling short of topics to blog, as I'm busy these days with my work, personal commitments, friends' weddings (yeah, 7 friends in one month is not a joke), not able to have that creative eye for things, not observant enough and all lame reasons..
Your hot breath
Mélangé with my paced heart beats
Pure Ecstasy!!
Read it in a blog and I repeat it here!!
Inc.1
When we are about to enter the New Year, obviously none wants to be in the office. But, we got permission to go home, only after
Hmmm,, Mistakes done and, though have not met with any accident till date (luckily!!), all those signal jumps and riding without helmet, has costed me more than just money. I’m suffering from Policophobia.
I’m trying to overcome the same, by following all the rules on road, these days. But, realized that I’m not gonna be cured soon.
Coz,
This weekend was completely about shopping and roaming with friends. As I entered a small cross in Malleshwaram, I saw the traffic police standing there. My heart beat increased like in the Inc.2 and in a fraction of second, I thought of whether
I’ve all the documents,
I’ve not entered one way
Not jumped any signal
Wearing my helmet……….…
In the next fraction, I realized, I was walking down the lane and not riding: D
Had seen the crowd in the malls, but for first time, saw at least 100 mtrs queue, to join the crowd !!!
Watched the movie Avatar, and really felt, it’s another version of Independence day, with its story line.
Well, In Independence day, there was an alien attack on earth, coz they had run out of their natural resources and saw they could take more from earth. In Avatar, its the same, but that the human beings are the attackers, looking for the precious mineral and Na’vi tribe is being attacked.If in Independence Day, all the fundoo technology and weapons are being used, and in Avatar, it’s in even a clandestine level of getting in to the genetically engineered bodies to interact with the tribe.
The way the Na'vi tribe lives in harmony with the nature, made me ask the basic question again to myself, are we living the nature way?
Human beings are no doubt the most brilliant/intelligent race (as per science) & high lightened race (as per all possible mythology)... Call it industrialization, or exploring more or understanding the nature way,,, we have only exploited every bit of nature of its most valuable resources, taken every other race of species for granted, killed & used for lavish/luxury purpose,, Who ever gave human being such right to do so? Is this called being intelligent or high lightened.. Where is the good old "Humanity" in human beings? Understanding the laws of nature doesn’t make us any free from obeying it...
All said & done, even I have a vehicle which runs on petrol, have a mobile which obviously causes radiation, carry plastic & other non bio degradable stuffs, all possible electrical items,,, the benefit of which I surely enjoy.. This reminds me of a friend, who decided to give up on his mobile, but, had to switch back in a yrs time... I feel as if I'm a link in the chain, which cannot be cut, howsoever , but in turn I add to the strength of the chain (though, unwillingly!!)
But, any day, if such tribes are to be destroyed by human beings to exploit the resources, I would say, "Survival of the fittest" and only humanity should survive... What’s the point being human, without humanity!!!
I strongly go with Jake Sully :)
New hire:
The employer and the employee meet each other for a small amount of time for a Q&A session (Official term is Interview). After answering each other’s question, if they think that, they would make a good team and offer letter is rolled out.
Is it any different from Arranged marriage, where in a guy & girl meet for little time, and expected to take major decision of their life??
Employee Referral:
The existing employee of the company refers his/her friend for the position available. Resume will be sent across and though the same process like the new hire is followed, the person who referred will put across few more good words to make sure his/her referral is selected.
Likewise, if the candidate hired doesn't perform upto the level, the employer has someone in the company to blame: D
In match fixing term, uncles or aunts or someone in the family often comes out with proposals of their friends' daughter/son and they try to convince that the person is best in the world and a promise of a very good life: D
IJP:
Yes, the employee is a known person to the boss. When there is an opening for the next level, depending on whether the particular candidate meets the criteria, the offer is given to the person. But on a probation basis and the performance in that position is evaluated on a timely basis. If the candidate doesn't meet the expectation, at times given extension under the same role before confirmation. If the person is doesn’t meet the criteria in any aspect, or fail to achieve the expectation by the boss, it might lead to cancellation of continuing in that higher level and will have to return to the previous level. If the candidate is too hurt, he/she will considering quitting the job :(
Any different in live in??
Promotion:
The employer already knows the eligibility of the candidate for the role. And in the coming promotion cycle, the offer letter is rolled out.. Though there is a small discussion in between, for formality.
I can say, marrying your best buddy or childhood friend, is more or less the same. Knowing & understanding each other is already in place, there is good rapport too. So, they say "why not tie a knot and be happy forever?"
The enthu before & after is just the same in both marriage & the new company... (arrgghh,, I'm being too cynical,, I'll stop here!! )
PS: In any types of marriage, there is an unexplainable element called love too, which can never be applied in Hiring Procedure :D
PPS: Being die hard fan of a feeling called "Love", I havent linked it with any Hiring procedure.
PPPS: You can add more how ever you wish to :D,, and I'm not allergic to good dose of laughter :P
As I observe, how my days pass by,, I feel so bad,, My week doesn’t have seven days, but, only two days - Work day and
The work days are real routine.. I get up at almost the same time everyday hearing the same stuff from mom!! "get up soon, get ready, you don't eat properly,, I've cooked xxxx for you!!!" (lucky, xxxx change everyday) and then I get ready to go to work, eat, pooja, followed by the tea (which is again almost the same taste everyday).
Then, come to office at the same time,, and from then, starts another boring routine.
Work & fun,, Am I doing anything great in the office, that has brought some little change, in the minutest level??
Nope, the tragedy of working with numbers are, even after doing this work for years together, you have not done anything substantial, but only calculated, how much change others did in some corner of the world...
The world is changing, people bring in change and there is life out there,, but we, the no. crunching people calculate and present the change in the most beautiful, colorful way with graphs, charts..
The sad thing is, when @ work, my learning is at good speed and it comes down in the same speed and the boredom strikes within no time...
I'm no scientist who is ever trying to invent something, not even a warrior who has to be on his toes every single moment of his life...
I'm not saying I don't like my work... I really appreciate and try to bring justice to what I do. And I even love maths... Not to boast, but I topped in that subject in the school for 3 consecutive yrs, (thanks to my dad, who was again good @ maths, in his schooldays)... I scored high in all the subjects, which had something to do with numbers...(genetically blessed for intelligence in numbers :D)
But, in spite of all these, all the working days, are, I can say, "5 days lived in one single way"!!
Yes, I do try to make the best of my holidays, with more rest than the other days ;) (I meant work days) school, friends, movies, lil roaming in & around this fav. city of mine, small time exploration the kitchen to test my culinary skills.. And, I do change these things in a real random way, so that I don't get bored there too...
Coz, I don't want to call that as "Sat & Sun - lived in one single way!!"
To get the monotony out of routine, I do try crazy things like keeping my wardrobe in a great state of mess, clicking all possible crazy stuff I see around, shout out a weird comment as I enter the office, Observing people around as I travel to office & back home...and many more.. (About the people, I would write more some other time!!) I'm trying to enjoy my routine, with my own small little interruptions, I add...
Well, something has just come up as an offer in my life, in which my weekday is going to be changed. Just another thing added to the routine, But wherein, doing that I feel, I would mean something as a human being to other fellow human beings around me!! (Too discrete, eh!!??)
Will surely tell you all when it materializes. Wish me luck!!
(hey dear Calvin, I love you,, Me too don't like monotony in the routine, but I'm not as brilliant as you ;))
