Job Search

It all started with me lookin for a job.I had no graduation to show to my employers and a bunch of lies that i had to practice and which i had to assert positively to my employers.I always had a different story to tell them as they would never hire anyone having an engineering background of any sort.So this is the second time i am looking for such kind of a job.After the consistent harassment of the consultancy people calling me up i finally reached a consultancy and they said my skills were good enough to get me a job with some help from the consultant getting a fake experience certificate.He was pretty confident about and he said its not a big deal,i said ok lets try this out also,who the hell gives a rats ass about such kind of a job.So the interview was supposed to be at 6,i reached there at 6.30.One round with the big fat lady and another with an American called Andrew.After the fake accent interview,i was waiting for the result from the big fat lady and she said the joining is tomorrow and to bring all the relevant documents needed for the Induction.So I went the next day with all the documents that were necessary and we were asked to sit in a room .After that the induction started and we had to fill all the forms as per the tradition so after that we had a crappy dinner and after that we went to the floor and I could see 20 people sitting on the floor taking calls and it was like watching Manorama meaning not a single girl was present.And amid all this we wanted to go out for a smoke and they were not ready to give our mobiles and we were not allowed to go out also.Spending 9 hours in that shit place was a challenge in itself.After finishing work I was supposed to get dropped and there comes a nano and an Omni,I was literally pissed at that and I was never to be seen in that company ever again.A bad start to the year 2012.

Training in the BPO

So in my travel to different companies i have realized that there are a lot of jobless people in this world,as i go to different companies i see lots of people around,different characters of the same movie i would say.The characters are the same but the companies change.So whenever you go to a company especially a good one you would come across a tech freak,a Bollywood fan,an avid lover of music,a gamer,a car lover,an over enthusiastic female,a reserved girl and a married woman looking to pass time and earn some money.Different protagonists, one script, one aim-to fight it out for the money.Coming to the shooting location,its usually a perfect setting, a picturesque feel of a MNC it looks like one but you know what goes inside doesn't usually come out the right way.Coming to the staff of the company they need females who are beautiful and can speak English no degrees matter because this is India my friend.So the recruiters usually have a soft corner for the opposite sex and they do select people who really crave for money.As the saying "Beggars cannot be choosers" hence the higher number of losers.Now coming to the process training its no fun,they promote a guy who has very less knowledge of the English language to teach process and the end result is everybody passes training with flying colours.The trainer tells you its going to be a smooth ride but when you come to think of it,you were busy tripping on one thing or the other to really mind what went on in the training.The best part is you're left to your solitude and nobody in the world disturbs you whilst you're sleeping your way towards the end of the day.This happens in all the training programs in all the multinational companies.This was just a trailer of the movie which you can expect in your future.

HANGOUTS @ THE DEN

Two opposites hanging out over the pretext of chilling out over a footaball game sounds spectacular.This summed up with booze flying around and new people coming every weekend and football's always there to start of a heated discussion.So this happens every weekend in most of the places in the world,but those are the times you like the most as you experience and enjoy every moment of it.The Master chefs working on some dish ,trying out different recipes,if you miss out on one week then you miss out on a lotta things.So this happens in most of the places in all the metros of the world but being with friends gives you a different kind of pleasure and enjoyment.The bachelors and spinzters all hangout at different places of the world,I don't know why they do it but that is what is called Social Life according to Humans and that is natural protocol according to the Homosapiens.And weekends mostly get exciting because of the football that is being played in the UK but discussed a lot in India .On the pretext of watching the game between some of their favourite clubs and different loyalties to their clubs.And then its all about how faithful you are to a particular club.The guys always have different reasons to drink together.If you ask a guy why in the world do you drink so much,he'll give you a lot of reasons none truthful enough but still a very valid reason.He won't let you leave any discussion that easily if he has a glass in his hand.These are the most awesome times though all bachelors hanging out together discussing recent happenings around the world ,discussing their future plans.Once everyone gets married then these nights will get shorter, no more parties,no more time for football, no more hangover just tensions about EMI s, loans ,kids, future,status etcetera. I don't know how these people would change overnight. But during my travels I've realized that times change and people change with em.
