Hi friends,
This is after a long time I am writing. I have been deported from HYDERABAD
In some ways, it is good, in some it is bad and for me it was necessary. But Pune changed my life a lot. First and foremost, I realized the importance of my friends. I miss them L and then this place taught me a lot in just 2 months.
Working in an IT industry is tough, it’s mean and it’s a struggle. Within 2 months I knew what it is that keeps you here. (which are definitely not positive traits)
These 2 months changed my opinion of various people; some friends, some not so good friends, some colleagues, some seniors J. Now I know what it takes to be here.
It’s a labyrinth. People are mostly NOT what they seem. They say different things and mean different. Here flattery counts more than work, number of hours spent in office counts more than the hours put for productive work. It’s a competition, a race, a plan to let others down.
It might seem to all of you that I hate this place but strangely I don’t. I like being here. I like to observe people, their reactions to different situations and their power to manipulate others. It’s omnipresent. Just open your senses and we can see different minds working differently.
Everyone here has problems. Married people has one set of problems and bachelors have another, guys have one set of problem and gals another. But in all of them one thing that is common is: nobody actually wants to be here. May be I am wrong on this but I still didn’t meet a single soul who actually wants to be here.
Most of the people are here because it’s the shortest way to earn money and possibly easiest also. Another people just went with the flow. After doing B.TECH there is very less option and nobody takes risk. I think I belong to the former category. But its weird and awesome too that such a big industry runs because of the people who were unwilling to join it in the first place.
This place is a museum filled with different type of people. Sustaining here is life itself and you get very little time to sit and think that where are we going? In which direction? But for me the biggest and the most pressing question is “What are we becoming”? Is it really what we want? And is it the way to live our life? And the answer which I get is something which I cant share. J
I wrote this post for all my friends who work here to stop and think for a while and find their own answers to this question. All the best. J J
