As the red light flashed and the beep sound came off, I was relieved… I still have the job. Feel happy to know that all the pains I endured has not been a waste .Waking up at 8 in the morning (too early u know; esp as we are at the threshold of winter season!!), making a hurried lunch and breakfast, dressing up, and then finally the eventful race to reach office.
Talk about the race… it’s a painful process of having to bargain with autowallas- three different faces. A share auto from the main road near home to the circle; another one till Hi Tec signal. At least they have fixed rates. Third guy is the villain. Some of them just don’t agree to come till our office- “waapas kaali aana padega”!!!!!!!!! so they just wont come because they wont get a trip back to the main road. And I board one of those rikshas once the driver agrees to a fare of Rs.30!!!
Back to scene one….. after a slight make up session I enter the ODC and then with a pounding heart proceeds towards the door. I hear the beep sound and the red light flashing and I am relieved. To my seat and check my mails in a hurry- no dreadful mails!!! I sigh again and then start my work.
There comes- those nasty forwards. I get reminded of war times- the term “firing” is a nightmare to me these days. 30 fired from Chennai, 20 from blore… etc etc…
Well well… it’s like a tumor that is spreading across the organizations- across the industry. And I am one of those -scared of the infection...
It might just pass like a Tsunami- destructing the lives of few. But hope says that I be left unaffected. I really hope n pray that I be spared- that I have this job; one which I have started actually liking in the recent times (cos of the fear of losing:-) ).
The week just passed by, one mixed with fear and relief. Fear of being fired and the relief of finding things intact- the beep sound and the red glow!! It brings soo much of relief….
