After receiving out initial training at the M G Road office, we were asked to go to the newest building (then) at the Electronic City campus. Construction at the 5th floor, and the floors above the 6th (where the lab is) was still in progress. And the best part, none of the managers were keen to leave the office at a location as convenient as MG Road and come to EC. Imagine what that equals to to a bunch of freshers after 3 months of vigilant training. Bumper Lottery!
I went out to the balcony of the building on that floor and was nostalgic.. The number of days we spent there, pretending to work, bearing the unbearable stench of foul smelling socks and feet of a rather experienced guy who was sent later on to keep and eye on us... Our schedule was like this...
- Reach the campus at 830am . Have breakfast until 930am.
- Get to the lab and sit for 10 mins. Tea was from 10am - 11am
- Check emails from 1100am-1130am, and discuss on 'work for the day' from 1130am-1230pm
- Begin getting people to leave for lunch, 1230pm-1pm
- Lunch from 1pm-2pm
- Do some work from 2pm - 3pm
- Tea from 3pm - 430 pm
- Send emails on 'work done' from 430pm onward and leave at 530pm coz it takes half an hour to reach the bus stand! :P
With a day like that and no supervisor, until geynda arrived i.e., it was no wonder that we had a fanstastic time there. Multiplexes were dutifully visited to watch the latest movie, good business was given to coffee day and barista in the campus and no birthday went by without a huge party and moisturizing the face with the cake...
We surely did that a great time in those 2-3 months. Slowly we all were placed into our projects and all this waned away. Now, each of us are in different locations with destiny changing the courses of our life. Even if we do meet, the same fervor would be missing.. Way too much time has passed by. All that's left are happy memories and pictures...
- Clemy refusing to display his ID after the security person threatened to throw him out when the building caught fire and the dude was right in the middle of the action to capture pictures on his cellphone. Lol...!
