(This article was written for my company, which had its founding day recently. This article was a huge hit with my folks, hope it is with you too.)
The Headline is misleading actually, it’s not just another day.
Today is our founding day.
As I was risking my life on the roads of the city, fearing of getting late, some pretty eyed girls in saris were preparing for our welcome (in retrospect the fear of getting late was inconsequential. This is positively the last time I risk my life on the road.)
As I entered the office, the best girls around here stood for our welcome with roses (pretty romantic actually!) and Cadbury’s Perk (the staple food of my company) and offered us with such a broad smile that you were tempted to count their teeth.
Jokes apart, I could see people were preparing themselves for this day. The Gents look absolutely stunning in formals and neckties. The Ladies look beautiful and elegant, their beauty enhanced by the good old Sari.
I looked at myself. I made a sorry picture of being unshaven and without a belt (don’t blame me for the belt, got lost amongst my heap of clothes, which in turn led me to become late, which in turn did not let me shave). I at least came in formals. That was a saving grace for me.
We have a lot of work to do, but it looks as if we are attending a marriage ceremony today. I personally feel like enjoying and doing nothing today, but still I open my P.C and pretend that I am working. I nudged a few colleagues and churned the truth out of them. They too were feeling like me, not willing to work and bask in the festive atmosphere. So I concluded, with some sense of accuracy, that people were blindly clicking on the computer wishing to do absolutely nothing.
And as I continue to look around me, all smart guys and beautiful girls are still pretending to work, so I start my work too and end this article here.
So much in a days work.
