What a feel it is to be back home in weekends , Same old downloads. Catching up with friends and all the missed episodes of Prison Break, Kyle XY , Heroes..... Trust me , this is Life which I want forever !!
Hope that "HELL" part of my life is over . Sometimes I thought , maybe I am justifying my name "RAM" (u'll understand this if u know ramayana !!). I remember one of school friends who wrote me a testinonial in orkut mentioned "surely 'l go places ." I didn't know that sucker had some prophecy skills in him . Since Jan 2008, I'm on the run. Today , I'm going to meet this fellow and send him to his great great grandfather's hood.
First of all the trip was Chennai to Trivandrum for my training for around 2 months . Though the training was hectic , I had fun with friends and I cleared all the exams with ease and I was a pro in doing things there . I didn't know all these efforts would go waste . Worst day in the training was the day when we all came to know about our postings . There was around some 11 requirement for .Net trained associates in Kolkata. I got posted to kolkata and when I told people that I got posted to kolkata , I saw all the weirdest expressions in their faces but I was ready for it mentally . I thought its another new place to explore . Came back to Chennai to be at home for 2 days after which I had to leave to Kolkata to start my career .This was the first time I was away from home and that too for long time (2 months) . Even my parents took some time to manage with it . They felt my absense at home very intense . Then came the another trip now even bigger stay .
I met my friend with whom I planned to stay with in chennai airport. In 3hrs I reached kolkata around 10pm and took a taxi to guest house where we had to stay for some days . On day one , we were asked to wait for some 2 months get the work. I met few people who are all from southern part of India and I was shocked when I heard them saying "4months" "5 and half" "Mine is 6, I'm the senior bench ."
One after one , ppl whom I stayed with got transfered . Trust Me !! I never prayed to god like that before . After completing my 5.5 months of bench , I was blessed with my transfer . Though many people came to my rescue , it was my cousin who was able to pull it off . I had to bother many people to get this thing done. So many nights I used to regret for bothering ppl over phone. Finally it was one thursday, I spoke to my mom for more than 30 mins that its all over and i've to be in kolkata for some more months and there is no sign of transfer. I was ready to take any crap project the next monday. I kept my mobile away and was having my dinner with my friends. Suddenly , I heard my phone ringing , it was some unknown number but it was from chennai . It was my sister saying that my cousin has called me several times and I didn't pick up . Then, I saw all the missed calls and some messages saying that I got my transfer letter in my Inbox. Immediately , I washed my hands and ran to nearby cyber cafe and took print out of those letters and brought it back to room.Call it cloud9 experience or anything , it was amazing. I used to curse the sun for rising so early (4am) and brightening the whole room and not letting me have my sleep. First time, I wanted the same sun to begin the day very quickly . As time passes, change came !! change in wishes!! change in goals !! change in perceptions !!
I didn't get it when i wanted it the most but I got it when I totally changed my mindset. Later I realised that It took 5.5 months for me to learn patience.Some one is teaching me something which I didnt possess I thought."Betrayal by house brokers"," lose of money to those *cukers"," wandering for a place to live during last few days in guest house" are the few experience which greeted me with "Welcome to World". Its when I read the book "Who moved my cheese ?" . I had a sudden shift and sudden strength in myself but lasted for only few hours and I was back to being same old "Ram Sathish."
I made some very good friends there. I learnt a lot from them. We were like a family there. I had so many happiest moments. Trust me I laughed continuosly for 20 minutes which I have never done before in my whole 22years. Give me them as roommates again I can stay in antartica too !
Let me pen down one laughing session we had. Myself, Billy,Balaji ,shivaram, raghu were playing cards one night as usual. Billy broke into laughter watchin Balaji's new style of beard . There was nothin to laugh but he was not able to keep his lips locked. I was not able to control myself after watching billy .Balaji broke into laughter after watching me. Shivaram followed us. Raghu was the one who didnt understand what we are doing. Raghu was like " You fools !! stop laughing and play !!" Then we started laughing at him. Even if one stops, he gets the cue from other and will start it again.
When It comes to anyone's B'day , buy a gift, cut a cake , then comes one big speech from MrRaghu, future politician ( he speaks the way a politician speaks) and Raghu will let his poetry flow through our ears and then a speech in south tamil accent by Bageerathan. Myself,Arun and Kailash are good at pulling other's legs which we do almost all the time. I'll upload those poetry soon from my audio kitty.Many more write-ups will follow about kolkata.
Now, I'm back to south. Got my transfer and a project in Bangalore and going to chennai in weekends. Lets face the brunt and learn something outta it .
