Boss... I'm thy slave !

*PM - Project Manager **TM-Team Member ***ZCOM - The Company they both are working for. A telephone conversation between a PM and TM who are in two different continents in this "Flat" world. PM: So tomorrow on you should be physically present at office from 9 am to 5pm! TM: But i don’t see the point why i should come to "this room" and work as long as the work is done. PM: I need you to be present at office from 9 am to 5pm! TM: But isn’t it a bit awkward when the so called Office is a single room with 3 computers and 3 telephone lines? The only difference between office and apartment being the key numbers –you have to use another key to open your office room! PM: I can’t take it anymore. I got complaints from lots of people. Because of your working style, the work and efficiency of lots of employees of ZCOM are affected. TM :( Soliloquy) What the ****!!! What has it got to do with the people who are physically present in an entirely different country in another con...

Doping Dopes!

Frankfurt…the enchanting business city...that adorns one of the most developed countries of the world...A nation whose economy and culture and technology amazes many intellectuals including the anti-Nazis...

One of my acquaintances told me that, a couple of weeks ago in one of the city streets; he witnessed a pet being doped by his master?!! I have heard that no man is perfect. And a country constitu...

Onsite Experiences!

Stranger: So…You’re new in this place? Victim: Yea Stranger: Here with your family? Victim: No…I work here Stranger: Staying alone? Victim: No…with my colleagues Stranger: All girls? Victim: No…it’s a company guesthouse. Stranger: All bachelors? Victim: Yea Stranger: Is it an Indian Company? Victim: Yea Stranger: [After a pause] that’s new to me – Indian company providing mixed accommodation. Victim: [soliloquy] “Tell me something which I don’t know”. Stranger: How do you find it if you are living like that for a long period? Victim: Experiences vary with people. It’s good as long as you keep the bad things to yourself. That’s my halt. Bye...Nice meeting you. Stranger: I hope you enjoy your stay here! I have heard that there are people who enjoy at the expense of other people’s ego. Well, beware of such strangers because they will prey on you under such inescapable circumstances as lifts, trains, etc where you are forced to wait so that you can at least run away. And sardonically, such...
