In life things don’t appear to fall in from heaven, they take quite a longer route than that. And, while on the way, the goodies or the hiccups warn their arrival in all kinds of disguises or proxies. While only a few may be able to point out, these proxies are all around us - clear indication of upcoming or ongoing events.
So let’s check out a few which we all come across knowingly; unknowingly….
1) Well dressed Colleagues at office… Lots of clean shaven, formally dressed men. Girls dressed in suits doing work… work… work…with only work on mind. Yo man! The appraisal time is around… Kaaam karlo!!!
2) Khana kaisa hai? No need to ever ask that question again... ;) One look at the lines for coupons by the vendor and you can judge where to eat… or to better walkout and just order delivery!!!
3) Another one, you reach office at 10:00 a.m… A big ‘PARKING FULL’ board awaits you. People in office before normal time!!! Aaaaahhhh... it’s project time? Gotch ya!!!… He he he… Nopes, it’s appraisal again!!! (So why did YOU reach office before 11:00 a.m weren’t you thinking the same? :D)
4) Sleepy eyes, heavy heads… This is a time when all around you can find sleepy, drousy people…umn umn num… drooling over coffee machines… meds and frequency of doctor visits suddenly sore up… Ha ha ha… This is no rainy season or the pandemic flu. This is the ‘project time’ @ office!!!
5) Working late?? “What are your plans after office”, wonderful question when asked by a hottie….but a dreadful one when asked by your PM. Whatever be the answer, you are still working late tonite!!!
6) Need a leave? A colleague who used to be out of office at 6:30 p.m. sharp…. still in office at 8:00p.m….. Nah na its not the new project, nopes nor the ld one…it’s the leaves he wants!!! Each extra hour effort put in stays directly proportionate to the holidays he is going to take. :D
7) Ok guess this one - Your PM suddenly forgets your name. Fails to acknowledge your greetings, misses your seat…walks by and doesn’t see you. An easy way to say – I have no work for me, how do I find some for you??
8) Your PM calls an urgent meeting…and opens it with the line – “We have tough times ahead”… Management policies with ‘Cuts’ are on their way!!!
9) Odd one ‘out’??!! In a dull dry boring day… one of your colleagues arrives late in office, wearing formals... Stops checks around, sits and starts working… Hmmmm…fishyyyy… verrrryyyy fishy…indicative of? Arrreee use chhod… Go grab… there openings around!!!! :P
These are quite all I could collect… keep pouring in more friends…
This is a topic inspired by a similar named post by my college junior, though he had concentrated more on proxies during good old college days! Now an IIM pass out, this guy was creative genius of sorts even in college… quite indicative of his bright future!!!

ReplyDeleteI can so well relate to point no 5... :(, it happens so often, and ultimately you are sitting and working late night...you like it or not...!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd also the size of 'Q' is the best indicator of quality of food...lol...:)
One from my side...
As soon as you step out of office with friends of other deptt/teams...there...your phone rings and 99.9% its your manager, who before that might have forgotten that you even existed, but now has something really urgent for you...!!!
Will try to add more... ;).
Nice observations...!!!
