Get used to surprises!

Remember the last phase of your college? Yeah the insane era, when you actually took a book and studied not just the technical stuff but even those withered, tattered principles of HR chemistry that the English teacher taught you while you were busy gawking at her hump.

On the day of the interview, you are the ‘sweaty-palm’ dressed in the borrowed, or even worse - stolen formals (yeah that happened, I swear)  bothered whether you shook the hands of the interviewer too hard or your eyes followed its usual trajectory because all you care about is getting the job.

Congratulations, Mr. X you got the job.

Brilliant, Excellent, roll on the road, dance, whistle, get drunk and do embarrassing things, yeah it’s your day. After 20some years of education you finally got the chance to put it all in use.

The first complain you have is Damn I don’t know shit about computers and now I would be writing codes. But my friend just when you thought this was the worst thing, you are not even prepared for the reality.

6months later (yeah that’s how long your joining could be deferred and it’s not the maximum)
You walk into the multi-million dollar enterprise, glass walls, fountains, vending machines, pretty people in uber clothes. After briefing through the policies, none of which you give a damn to learn, your ‘real’ training starts. But all you do here is extend your college life into the office campus and screw around, until the exams befall. Now, being 4 years into Engineering you always manage a narrow escape. Ditto.

But deep within, you know that you don’t still don’t know anything about C++ or JAVA or HTML or SAP or goddamn anything beyond SHIFT+DEL (if you know what I mean). But being the lazy toad, you wash down all these worries in RUM bought from the freshly minted stipend of your 1^st fruitless month.
