Office!!

Office...the place where we spend Lions share of our day.Interacting with same people for quite some period, but somehow make very few friends in office.Never understood the reason, its one place where we are gonna be spending more time after college than any other place.

Office is the place which gives u money to do all of your activities, buying food, EMI's, clothes,pursuing hobbies ......everthing, but its looked upon with disdain and disinterest.Why? Coz people are always judging you??.......mostly its the other way round, the individual always asks before doing anything in office "wats in it for me". Before helping a junior, going out with ur bosses, even while making friends.Tat kills half of the joy then n there.

In my first job at Times of India, waz fortunate to meet people who were not of the kind and really made friends for life. It was an office which i really looked forward to go every morning, they waz work and mostly stretching to 10 hours every day, no holiday on saturday and sometimes even of sundays.But it waz a place where office folks were like real friends. Roaming together, pulling each others leg, partying together and having food at each others place. Man i really miss the time spent in Times.

After MBA, my second job waz in Atos Origin..... along with me , 26 other B-school grads where picked. We chilled together and used to wonder, even from IIMs and top B-schools how Atos managed to find people who are total timepass . It was like college after college. After sometime one by one started to leave and i waz begining to interact more with other people.Suprisingly, most people looked tense, atmosphere looked mundane and as the saying goes "A merry heart spreads joy, but a worried soul drieth the surroundings", the atmosphere was really dry. Even after earning good amount, having a good life why the worry ?? thinking if the other person will get more increment, if the other person will go abroad earlier, if i do this how beneficial it is to me and my career.Dont know??In Atos too, made some real good friends and used to fool around and i miss the time spent with them.
Infosys, my 3rd job and am waiting how it will turn out to be..........
But i still wonder when office will be like a college.....or is it too wishful?? Don't know.
