Monday Morning Pinks

Wow! It is a funtoo Monday morning I was eagerly waiting since Friday. I am a bit proud of myself working in such a nice company where my big boss sits couple of feet away and every one eager to see me in office to relax themselves from hectic weekends.

It took only 10 minutes to get in and out of bathroom cum toilet which might be constructed around Indian independence (Sorry I am supposed to call it fresh room). Squeezed fair & lovely which spitted a 15 gm of cream on to my face then pasted it like a construction worker who cement the wall. Applied hair Gel, sprayed half bottle of Perfume, applied a bit of lip gel, cold creme, somehow I hate the guys who do lot of makeup may be because i am a minimalist .

Locked room and looked around anyone observing and pushed the Keys through partially opend window to facilitate the entry of my roommates who are fortunate enough to visit home-town every week on Friday morning and come back on Monday afternoon.. ya sometime this is an advantage of being a govt employee. Rushed to the ground-floor passing the evil eyes of house owner and jumped on to my macho 150cc motorcycle drove on the right line as a super-man avoiding any eye-contact with police man recklessly standing at signals. Pity on that idiot inside Swift-dezire with window glass up and wife on left seat abused me when I took abrupt left turn from right lane. I am sure his wife would have given a fitting reply to him on my behalf as she is the one who listened it. Anyway I don't give a shit about it as I was trying to save myself from a glorified pothole of India's IT capital, Our new ministers keep uttering "development, development, development" but I am not sure whether they talks about roads or potholes.

Mobile is ringing 4th time, I think it is the time to change caller ring-tone for project manager, It doesn't look nice when other bikers stares at you at signals when it rings the tone "Who lets the dogs out". Somehow reached parking lot ignoring the security, parked it very closer to a car where car owner has to kiss my bike if he want to get-in, in India who cares?

Took out the ID hanged on the neck, wished the receptionist, it is good that the old one has changed otherwise trying my luck I would have been spoiled 5 minutes everyday. Swiped the card, right next to the door project manager looked at me and his watch, as if I do not have such a nice watch. May be his appearance is more fit at the gate than the security guy standing there.

"Sudhir do u know what you did yesterday, US team is saying build is failed due to the code you checked-in Friday"
"Sir, you know that those Indians in US want to protect their job in US pointing that indians india is coding bugs"

He took me to his laptop and shown me the yellow marking on the line where debugger stopped. Wow at-least my PM know how to invoke debugger and press F6

Spend a 2-8 minutes to locate the error which was due to structure change in DB than in code. Wow I should appreciate my project manager and US team to holding their post for such a long time with such a limited knowledge.

Ya its lunch-time didn't even got time to login to gmail,chat, orkut,linked-in,facebook,hotmail and my secret favorite naukri.com.

May be lathika and group already left for lunch their seats are empty, rushed out through the corridor and saw project manager pampering delivery manager. I think he is the only delivery manager in industry who is fit for this position,looking at his tummy anyone even outside the IT industry know he is the man who can deliver.

finished a quick lunch within 1 hour and paid in fact almost emptied my pocket. Sometime I feel like quitting IT job and start a canteen in an IT company(cafeteria for educated us) where else in the world you can sell a samosa for Rs-40, not even in US. TATA may close Taj and start canteen in IT company if he had ever visited the canteen of IT service company.

Attended an all hands meeting from company boss who talk about empowerment, value add,value chain bla..bla. Once it is finished as usual I'm more confused than before, may be that was the target of meeting.

Could not concentrate much on the work as room-mates came back from duty(they call it so) along with a bottle of Mansion-house. Its time to enter the "Mansion-house" after a hectic day.
