Office Habits

 

Sorry guys its been a while since I posted here, Just got caught up with work. Anyways todays post contains some explicit content, I would like my minor readers and those with weaker heart to take caution before reading further (lol). Yes and one more thing, wishing a happy Onam to all my mallus.

Another week was coming to an end, as usual my roommate and I went outside to have some juice after the dinner. I ordered a hot holicks while he ordered a cold milkshake, as we were drinking I got a doubt, “You know hot milk helps in better sleep. “ Karthik “Does it?”. “Yea, but its a long time doubt of mine man, You know how they portray serve warm milk in first night?” I asked casually hoping for a jovial answer. “You are lost man.” Karthik replied with a shake of his head and continued with his drink.

I thought about it and asked Karthik how some of the people in Tessolve would reply if I asked the same question, the rest of the conversation is posted in a transcript like form:

Karun: “Re junk guy.. re junku..” 
Rajmohan: “En singa kutti sollu da..”
Anand: “ What I would like to suggest is that ..”
Prasad: “Enjoay..”
Bharath: “ Re.. re, I will tell you re” He would say it very fast and in a sort of tensed manner.
Shubam: “hey man,.. What questions you are asking eh.. ehh.. are you getting what I am telling eh.. ehh”
Mallesh: “En rah..en rah.."
Bro Manjunath: “Hey bro … Its just that.. eh..I don’t have license bro” He will be laughing the whole time.
Kathik Uppund: with the nod of the head “mmhmm”
Praveen: “ Actually I think the reason would be something like..” It would be a sentence tried to spell prim and proper.
Preetham: “ Enna Nanba."Enna Nanba … ”
Shashank: “Ada pavi .. “
Sandeep: “What is this..” He would speak with his slight smile.
Ganesh: “Its just .. just..” then after a while with a clap “yes man it is like that”
Rashmi: “ ….” She will have that keenly listening face, with her eye brows when you concentrate on something.
Parthiban: “That is what man read state ppt daily.. Show me today’s plan”
Samruth: “Once I came across this you know .. ” It will be a well thought out diplomatic sort of answer, that sly laugh will also be there on his face.
Rashmi Again: “So you were having horlicks milkshake?” I think she woke up just now as Parthiban would put it.
Mohan: “Cheta.. entha cheta..”
Monish: “ah.. ah.. correct.. correct “ with sharp nods.
Raji: She will talk in her bold tone, “I know.. I know.. Oh Shit is it? “
Khaleel: “What bhai…”
Reghothman: “What macha..”
Ramesh: “What is there macha.. ”
Sruti: “ How can Tessolve hire these kind of people “

These guys have been my world for the past 4 months, and its been real fun to hang out with them. Thanks you guys

Byes

Job Shock

 

Last day me and 14 of my colleagues were greeted with the slow killing good news of being selected to the new Qual C team. All were happy to be getting projects and stuff. Today 5 among us, including myself, were again selected to something call off shift team. I liked the way how the manager phrased it, “You are lucky to be selected into the off shift team. You are going to be the aggressive guys, while all the rest of them will be specializing in one domain, you guys will get to handle all domains equally.”  All 5 of us standing dumbstruck, “No this is not happening!!” was the expression on everyone’s faces, “no we are not ready to work for 14 hours”.. well lets see how this will turn out to be.
