first day in office


Now I am a grown up boy. Finished my achedemic career and joined a multinational company.

"End of Fun time" was my first belief to being in business. But days proved me wrong.

It's not the case but it was more fun than my college life.


I suddenly remebered the life of the youth. Only goal for day is somehow impress "The Lady". Try to get date for dinner or Lunch. Borrow some amount from pals to take her out. remember you are surviving at your pop's cost. Hmmmmm interesting.


Will this life end as I finish my graduation? I thought so, untill the day I joined a multinational startup in bangalore.

Hurrayyy....! people out here were cool. Few of them were satyr's trying to loose varginity.

Somehow they came to know that I hail from place where sand,sun and sex is reality. That was not the case with me. I Never liked drinking or smoking and never was indulged in unethical activities. Some of them came to me and asked, "you must have had lot of fun with females in Goa? How about going to pub tonight". I said, I don't drink, smoke not go around with girls!

My response was shocking to them.

They asked with suspicious face "are you proper from Goa?" I said yes. I could see their off faces.


Then I went my seat to read the material provided to me by my Manager. Suddenly a short man approhes me, he might be in his mid 40's. He says "are you from Goa? ", I respond saying yes.

Then he says "Do you like feni?". Feni is super stinking shitty liquor and only maniacs can drink it, One need to loose the sense to drink it.... This was my response.

He raises his eyebrows and sheer unhappy expression is visble on his face. Then he says "But I like it a lot". I nod my head and say Ok.

He goes away and then I ask my pal who was he. he responds, oh he is General Manager of this company.. :(

Goa to Bangalore journey


<- Me , sushant and guru(aka swapnil Kamat) outside my #99 nanja reddy colony house.
I was not happy in Contronet. Decided to leave Goa. Realized that leaving Goa and comming to bangalore was bigger sin. My father wnted me to work in goa. It was my mom who helped me to move to bangalore.
My first month went is misery. My room mates were Niyan and Moin. we were line Amar, akbar and anthony.
Niyan was a playboy, always used to get his girlfriends at home. Moin was busy with his friends and I had loads of work in my startup company.
I had come to bangalore with mere 10,000/- rs. I spent nearly 8K in initial setting up.
and had left 2K for my addtional expenses. Moin was fresh out of college and soo ran out of cash. So I had to take care of him till he gets his first salary. and soon we found that we have total of 200 bucks and need to survive for another 3 days. well could save a bit by walking to office and cut down on extra spending. we got our salary on 31st jan 2001 and we celebrated our independence. Wow it was a great feel.
