First things first. I am not a writer so you may get lot of spelling mistakes and grammatical error in my writing. It’s because I turned of my MS Word’s grammar check, as I am tired of telling it that my name is not a spelling mistake. Stop underlining my name by red teeth like scratch.
So just taking up this place so share some personal view on some topic as from my childhood days I believed that my views are different from the other. (Now actually I don’t find any different view). I am very emotional kind of person. I used to think a lot. Once I read a book written by “Del Carnegie”, where he says “how much an incident affects us, more than that our own opinion about the incident effects”. Kind of tough thought. But actually good. I, whatever is the incident, take it in my way.
Actually I started this writing to express my thoughts about my corporate life. No more craps and I’m now straight to the point. I am a B.Tech Engineer. How I have completed my engineering I know and god knows...Not gonna disclose the secret. But I am extremely thankful to “Shiladitya Basu” who sat right beside me for all semesters.
I can still remember my first day at college. All new faces. Young enthusiastic little bit feared. We were sitting in the class room when seniors entered and we are ready to be ragged. Here I want to say that I am not against ragging until it comes to physical harassment. When I was ragged by my seniors I took it like I am a performer on stage. They are my viewer. They are requesting me to do different things and I am performing those with full energy. It actually helped me to become a part of the gang. I danced (that was horrible of course), Proposed at least 13 girls on my knee (that I never did in my actual life), even married a girl virtually (She just got married some days back) and lot of things that were actually well-known for ragging. So my first day in college – only two classes out of eight and ragged for 7.5 hrs.
Now while I was entering in the corporate sector I even remember the 1st day. Do you believe, even I felt ragged for 8 hrs. Completely unknown people from different places (Thank god 2 were from my home town), sitting silently, confused with the forms to be filled up, confused about the terms and conditions, policies etc. So I applied my own thoughts here and took that like I am a machine. I just need to take the orders and execute. Lot of lectures went on and my notepad was scratched with thousands of curve lines. At the end of the day when I called up home and my mom asked “How was your first day at office”, I said “Ma, its so so”. May be my mom didn’t expect this from me. So she told me to concentrate on work, told me about the responsibilities that I have and all. On that day I realized, what ever be the situation, I cannot express that to any body not even to my parents. So after that day I smile and take the entire burden in myself. No one can assume what is going on in between and slowly but steadily corporate world made me just an application which is running properly with lot of bugs inside.
Being a part of this hectic life what I felt that I gradually become a guy who doesn’t have time for his passion. I miss my guitar. I miss weekend’s play. I miss seeing drama. I actually work, focusing on the weekends on weekly basis and focusing on 31st on monthly basis. And I am sure 75-80% of people do the same. And if you are not among them count yourself within rest 20%. After all, exception proves the rule.
I feel happy to see u writing. First of all ur "Blog Title" is very good and laughed at the line where you wrote "I am extremely thankful to “Shiladitya Basu” who sat right beside me for all semesters". Only Poddar guys can tell this publicly without any hesitation as we don't have anything to loose :).I never knew you have a passion for drama,thought it has to be movies and that to in JAYA:).Anyhow it's good start.Make it your passion and write at least once in a month.BTW 100% people focus on 31st of every month.We are not living in the era of Gandhiji/Netaji, It's the era of Mr. Kalmadi and Raja.
