A new beginning

In old ages there were People who gave up food, Life pleasure
for Immaterial pursuits... they were called saints then...
Today we call them "Office Executives"


After the 3 days hence I will be part of the same tribe. Happy in its nonchalant ways of life, where one forgets that work is supposed to liberate (arbeit macht frei- german idiom) rather enslave us into modern day. Anyways its not that intimidating too.

I have heard stories from my friends about how work is, but actually that makes me skeptical because this is a free advice and as it is with free advice, any 2 advices are never the same. some are best modest to say- "work is good and worthwhile" (worthwhile of what??..you do get paid..huh??), some overtly exaggerated " that's the best thing to happen to me". I hope his boss was listening to this...sincerely.:-P

Coming back to the topic, work has its own advantage too. After one full month of hiatus, I will be pushed into regulars 9 to whenever-your-boss-call-the-day time slot. Call me a hypocrite, but I do enjoy plucking a few strings of stressful work. It gives me options to do the same work differently. My only compliant is it should not be too routine to become a regular feature. innovation, after all, is worth only till next date.

my work should offer me mobility. I like moving around in office, talking and meeting new people. more like a "social catalyst". off what i heard in shapr contrast- Modern day offices are filled with loners busy with making people more lonely so that they get company (cruel irony, trust me offices are filled with ironies). I just fear that esprit-de-corps, (of what all the hoopla is all about) it might turn out to be an empty preposition . for my part of the bargain, I am ready to scale down my sociali-Zing.

Atlast, in some context my job is mobile. i.e it has location beyond Mumbai. so I am a little worried about how will I do in alien lands. but as my friend reassuringly said, whats life without a little challenge. Probably he does not know the locations i have on my transfer card-
-Shirwal
-Dahej
-Bhagwanpur
-Mohali

coming to think of it, I think I must take a little chance with my luck. unknown places can offer unknown pleasantries too. and Mohali has a Scenic climate and "Oye-Hoye Beautiful" punjabi Peeepals too!!..very endearing ones..

So Finally. Armed with all the Stocks a modern stationery mart can provide, informed of all risk and eventualities , Beaming to the ends with self confidence (or the atleast faking it), HR-Professional Vineet Kamat is finally ready to take his Bosses first order...Adios folks..here I go.

will tell you what was it all about in next blog
