Hello… Long time right… Was a bit busy with life…
Hmmm… What I want to tell here is, as my title suggests, my job of 30 days.
Wondering why is it only 30 days???
Well that has a long story behind it… and here it starts.
Before I start, I want you to be acquainted with the characters, Just because I have to give names to them, I am naming them Voice 1, Voice 2 and I.
Scene 1: College -> Celebrating
I: Yeh gals, Congratulations to us, WE finished our graduation. We are engineers now.
Voice 1: Even I am excited, we can go work, have fun, buy anything, blah blah blah…
Voive 2: I really don’t understand why you two are so happy, I am really sad. We just finished the golden age of our lives. How can you celebrate?
Voice 1: Don’t listen to her, She is always a set back in all our plans.
I: Yeh, you are right.
Scene 2: IT finishing school -> Applying for a job as an associate trainer.
Voice 2: This isn’t what we want to do. It’s a teaching job; for god’s sake don’t get in. We can’t teach. We are horrible at it.
I: But I need a job. It’s urgent.
Voice 1: Yeh you are right. We all need jobs. What’s wrong with this job?
Voice 2: This is not the right job. We can never teach you will be spoiling the student’s life.
I: We can always leave the job if nothing is right. That won’t be a problem. Will it be a problem? No na…
Voice 1: Of course not!
Voice 2: What ever.
Scene 3: IT finishing school -> HR explaining about the bond.
Voice 1: You think he is really serious about the bond? We are in trouble now. That too for a year?
Voice 2: Told you! This place will always be a problem for us.
I: Gals! Please shut your mouth I can’t hear him.
I: I think 1 year is too much, Lets reduce it to 6 months.
[Just for us, the HR reduces the bond period for 6 months]
Voice 2: Why the hell did you do that?
Voice 1: Awesome!!! We have a job for 6 months. Yupeeeeeeeee
Voice 2: If we join, it’s gonna be a problem, Listen to me gals. It’s not good.
I: Shut up you two. We are working that’s it. Case Closed.
Scene 4: Last-day [As we dint sign the bond]
I: Don’t know whether I am happy or not.
Voice 1: I still think we should sign; it’s a matter of 6 months. We can do it.
Voice 2: What ever happens, happens for good. I really think it’s high time that we come out.
Voice 1: What are you out of your mind? We might not get jobs for weeks, months… Just sign the bond.
But all of us came out, as we dint sign the bond. With lots of confusion. We worked there for 30 days! [That explains the title right]
Now, let me tell you who voice 1 & 2 are. They are the voices inside my head. You have just seen 4 scenes, with few sentences. But these people are always there in my head & Esp. at these situations, they become active. There conversation is like a tennis match. From this side to that. Almost everybody has these people inside their heads. But we should always be firm, don’t give in for pressure.
That job was not meant for me. I am born to be a software developer, and will do that, not teaching in some institution.
August 18th to September 17th, these were my exact 30 days there. I have gained enormous amount of knowledge, but still not my kinda work. So from now on, Software companies, keep your eyes open I am coming :)
The only message I want to convey through this article is, we will encounter situations which are similar to this. But think straight. Don’t be like us. Be patient, your job will be done. :)
Choti muh badi baath. But still wanted to share.
Hope you understood what I was trying to say. As I am not a good teacher, I should ask this question ;)
See you in my next post. Till then Chao…

good nice one
Nice one! happen to stumble on your blog while searching fro something to read. Liked it! Reminds me of a similar situation, but with a twist. The twist being me, employed in a top software company, quitting, saying "this job ain't for me" and walking out after having worked for one and a half years. about a year ago! and as you said, it might be years before i find the right job again, but then, i'm not complaining, to bad parents will always be! :)
The thing here is love teaching it will give a healthy life rather wasting your entire life in an IT COMPANY Life is Precious donot spoil it
