Seventh of August 2008, Time: 9:15 AM...
"Bye Ma.... Take Care... Kichu chai toh phone koro..."
"Bye Beta... thik... And listen...ALL THE BEST...”
That was my mother on that Thursday morning wishing me all the luck for the first day at a new job. Things a week back were not that great, I was struggling with my job at Real estate Television. Everything was quite fucked there. As soon as a close friend informed me that there was a opening in a new English channel I applied and got through. I quit on fourth of August. I was quite miserable as I was not too happy with the way I quit. I did not serve my notice period and I am suffering till date because those buggers have still not passed my relieving letter! Ahh!!! Anyway... that all is passé!
The story thus begins on 7 August when like a regular enthusiast I wanted to be my best on the first day at a new place! A New Beginning!!!
I was quite jittery to go directly to the office, yes happens to me! People think I am this extrovert, over enthuse who is ready to take the world head on at any point of time... However, the truth is always contorted.... I am quite a coward! Therefore, I go to a friends place, have coffee and smoke like a chimney and be there for more than an hour. Finally, the friend who is quite irritated by my presence asks me to get out! I reach office. As per instructions from different friends, go meet the HR. The Hr has still not arrived. What does Dev do then... she sits for the next one hour, waiting for the required people to come to office! May I remind you, that it was past noon by then. Finally, the Creative Head comes and I get introduced to my Team. I joined as an Associate Producer for the Lifestyle team.
I am going to write some more, but not now... i am not in the mood. But dear readers, this is still being drafted so come back again!
