THE UNPAID 4 TO 9 : BOSS MANIAC

My life's first 150 hours at office has been amazing. A team of 12 god gifted personalities . The day i stepped in for the interview , i walked straight to a guy at the reception ,with my resume on my left hand , as i had learnt in college. The guy , looking , at me said " wait a sec "
... walked inside , pulled a chair to a table , arranged two more chairs , sat on the one facing the two
and asserted in a loud voice " Mr. DEBOJIT SAHA " .... damn !! none , till date , did i find, who could spell my name correctly ....

i walked in .. to be interviewed by the manager ... puzzled .. at first sight he seemed a receptionist then at the next moment seemed to be the one in- charge for recruitment and finally turned out to be the head of the office .. who claimed to earn 70k per month .. !!!

He had once asked my colleague , while playing Truth And Dare " what did you think about me when you first saw me ? " .. Imediately two things popped in my mind ... an answer , and then a question ... The answer part , i already made it clear , and the querry part " does he himself finds himself to be a receptionist , if not , y then did he ask it ? " ...


with in a day , began the legacy "THE UNPAID 4 TO 9 " .


But i must say , this guy , the Sr. manager, was my favourite , cause he was the perfect blend of witt and experience .

First three days at office was that of training . It wasn't during this time , i learnt that lying and misleading was the way to success and i regret for not being good at learning during the training hours .

On the first day at office i met the great azim-o -shaan shahenshah Jr. manager - Mr. bluffmaster ... the master bluffer ... Well the man had lotsa stories to narrate , they never ended , as long as i was in office , and m very much sure , will not end for decades to come ...

... story of a teenage narrated for the rest of the life...

They mostly were about his prestigious family , dynasty and an assumed great college life ... blah blahs !! .... listening to them all ... i always wondered ... had he been in the medieval periods , the office gaurd , on his arrival would have surely yelled out ...

.... kumar - e - IAS ,
bhatija - e - vidhayak ,
brother - e - contractor ,
phalana - e - dhamaka ,
mananiya
jr . manager - e - enticing holidays
padhar rahe hain ...

And as he would pass by , beautifull royal " dasiyan " would shower flower on him ... and he !! ... he would walk away in a bindas tapori style ... Jai ho !!!

And then , finally , i met the unusual phenomena , Pepsodent dhushoom dhushoom !! ... thats the name i chose for her ... lol!! ... the final manager ... i still remember a customer's retaliation ... " it's because of this nature is the pearl ring sticking to her finger ... Astrologer's advice!! ... And if noticed , one would easily realise that educated people resort to such an option only when every other options fail .. even if this was not with every person , it certainly was the case with her , as per the coustomer ... and i was convinced !!

And then the inter-realtions became even more clear when out of curiosity i brushed through a book on CHATTISGARH TOURISM ... many a pages revealed a big secret which at the first instant were not visible ... !! Bluffmaster and pepsodent dhushoom dhushoom surely tried to hide it ....
but one thing am not clear of is ' why then did Mr. Bluffmaster and Mr. Parrot (jr colleague) often enjoyed massaging each other's arms , shoulder and neck ?'.. never did a day pass by , with out the doubtfull incident .... !!!


Good or bad every one in the management group was kinda complimentary to each other i.e, each was perfectly what was required by the duo to make up a perfect trio




PS : MANY A THINGS WORTH SARCASTIC REMARKS DO REMAIN ..
AND SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN ,AS A MARK OF RESPECT TO THE TRIO
