Another 5 am post , some co-incidence this is.
But situation is very very different now , vastly different.
Now i am WORKING (seriously :P no pun intended here ) and still , this one's a 5 am post.
Don't know why but i do feel like good when i tag this one too as a 5am post.(the free spirit ain't dead yet , not so soon O "real world" )
I will tell about my experiences at this "new life" in the "real world".
1) Can you believe it , the Quizzing spirit has resurrected and oh boy , how well !
After almost 4 years of a long lost hiatus , i got a break at ndtv quiz which by the way i did lose
but to my own nervousness to the 10 hassling-revolving-in-your-face cameras than to a good question.
and then began the journey at our own corporate quiz club which is coming up really well with some real passionate fellow 'quizards'.
(and for the nostalgic part: Sometime when i was in class 9th , i was one of the few with the newly formed dps bokaro quiz club )
And people still debate on whether life is a full complete circle :D
2) As for any corporate noob , you hear the jingles of moronotic words which will beat the crap out of you atleast for the first few times
and after a zillion calls and meetings , (i.e. if you still survive) you will be one of them.(Problem Solved and True story :P )
3) I have started playing all the games i can lay my hands on.
To start with the most regular and one game which i truly love other than cricket :
Tennis(and Lawn tennis NOT table tennis). Cricket , a game so frivolosly fanatically followed in this one part of the world
and me being one of the proud victim ,
i play it sometimes on saturday mornings (well did i say morning ? Guess , i did and Times are surely changing then :D ).
Tried table-tennis and basketball too , which luckliy i quickly realized was not invented for me.
4) As part of the CSR (corporate social responsibility) [ told already , these jargons are affecting even me :P] , even i went a couple of times to bring smiles
to not-so-fortunate kids which indeed went well . Albeit you can still sense that feeling of detachment like for e.g. the distribution of 10rs potato chips packet
and a mineral water bottle to the kids who drank the mineral water as some Hot Shots would have had vintage wine. So even though they could have done better than that ,
atleast there was an intent , a real intent to help and most of the times , its enough :)
4) Oh wait ! i did mention i was 'working' .So about work - Its paying my bills so really , no complaints on this part for sure.
5) And yeah !!!
living in a metro ,apartment hunting , going to office with the haggling traffic , A fat-wallet-to-empty-wallet by the month end , the feeling that you just can't do anything just for the heck of it ,
the eternal yearning for weekend - these all are experiences which you may not even notice after some period (read : getting more work ex ) but its still some experience which doesnt deter you from enjoying the
good times and eventually , they all help. (Proof : remember , its still a 5 a.m. post by a working man ).
P.S. Grammar freaks! Do excuse the punctuation and formatting at a few places (C'mon what do you want from a guy who is up all night :P )
