What I saw.....


Date : 28th May 2013, Place : BLR, Time : 8 AM to 6 PM


These are different scenes what I saw on this day and started thinking what will be running behind these scenes & minds....

Disclaimer...People whom I saw are real but scenes are imaginary...

Security guard at the apartment: Making note of the vehicle which came in and taking necessary signature in the entry book...with no expressions on the face except that why is the pen not writing properly.

A coffee boy : Making tea coffee on continuous basis...fed up with long standing....thinking when is his next coffee break !!!

Office assistant lady : Cleaning the table in the cafeteria at her best ....thinking when will her gold chit will finish

Team lead calling his team member on the cell : When will you finish that report which I had asked ? We need to discuss on it once you are ready....everybody wants to fill their PPT.

Manger walking unprepared for a meeting : Covering up the mess as he knows he has run past the dead line... WIP, we have looked in the data and have asked for additional details

Vegetable vendor : Mixing and arranging the old and fresh vegetables on the shelves in such a way that old items should be sold as well......raining the price of carrot 5 rs per KG as soon as a person came in car to buy the same....

Interviewee : A young chap has come a technical servicing help desk job...has finished his two rounds and waiting for the results....standing in the bay and praying his favorite god as the interviewer is shortly announcing the results.

Supplier : A pantry supplier making an invoice, listing out all the items required and making rough calculation about the money....thinking why so much milk is been consumed by coffee boy...suspecting any fishy act...

Client visit : A group of clients visit the IT giant delivery center and pass through the floor...glaring at the folks who work for his account....think how secure our data is & how much more we can save by outsourcing...

A smoker : Taking a deep puff and enjoying the moment...but brain calculating something and helping him to decide something....he nodding the head in agreement with the brain....

Life goes on...one more day crossed in the calendar....
