Life at ITC Centre
Its been 3 days in head office NBDC but I am still a newbie or jas a new fish in the pond and people still think I m an intern.
Here are few things about my office life:
Half an hour
An in some dimension that exists in this office half an hour is a never ending quanta of time.
You ask person for something and u r told…jas give me half an hour. Yes, that is the reply u get every half hour.
Wait!
Mr. Balakrishnan notices me waiting at reception.
Big B: (with curiosity) arre, what are u doing here.
Fish: Sir, waiting for my lunch.
Big B: Waiting for Lunch! That’s a shame.
Fish: yes sir. It is. (Still don’t know is it shameful for me or ITC; but since now I am a part of ITC it doesn’t really matter)
The conversation was over and I was back to my job: WAITING.
Then like a flash the whole morning came into my mind.
I reach office at 8.45 AM. I want to enter the office but I have no access card. So what I Do : WAITING.
Somehow, I enter the office. Reach out for one of my senior to get some input on my project. The answer was come at 10.30 am. So, I move to another senior. “I will see u after lunch”. So I want to go back to my seat in 5th floor office. But jas a sec I will have to do one more thing first. U guessed it right. WAIT! (no access card also means no exit).
And somehow I think which is a bigger shame (plz don’t worry whose shame it is): is is the waiting for petty things or see ppl move around u staring at u and saying by looks: Don’t u have any work?? I reply by looks only: can’t u see…. I am busy WAITING.
I come back into reality.
PROJECT
In ITC terms, technically what I m doing can’t be termed as project too. (Think financially)
But, anyways I m doing something what I m supposed to do.
I have a program to follow to meet people and get useful data from them.
Fairly simple job, huh?
Lets take a look.
Fish: Good morning Sir, I am
S1: ohh. I am really busy in this work. And I hav a meeting thereafter. Meet me in half an hour(please refer note1).
Fish (few half an hours later): Sir, May I?
S1: Oh ok. Hmmm.. So what do u want?
Fish: sir, I am vagaira vagaira. I need falana falana data from you.
S1: before getting into the data you must kno <>. You meet S2, understand all this that and then come to me. I will give u data. THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE. (in golden letters : btw this phrase is no longer copyrighted to HR managers).
Fish: thank you Sir.
Fish moves to s2 and after several half an hours)
Fish: GM sir.
S2: oh come come just let me finish this thing and I will sit with u.
WAITING time
S2: ya….so, what do u want?
