Sitting in office on chair like someone has glued you with it for 10 hours ,continuous stare at the Mail box , Air Conditioner working hard to suck the heat out of 200 Human brains to recycle the thought process is the life of a Software Engineer. Few breaks to washrooms, rest rooms, Pantry and a huge crowd gathering in cafeteria's to beat the not so profound hunger with army of men serving you sandwiches, Burgers, Chips, Pizzas, Pastries and all that you can image to take you out of your depressing state. Women's continuous chats over what is right and what is not, to make you healthier while hogging over the plate of bhel puri chat. Men standing outside Office area in Smoking zone with puffs in air discussing different phases of life.
Back to work with continuous gaze to Laptops, fingers working in sync as if typing the love letter to their beloved. Pin drop silence with hooting of shoes in background with entry of people at desk area every now and then. We drive to work for almost an hour or more and get sitting in office for so long, then driving back again to give rest to our burning ashes out of pain. You reach home, and family is waiting for you with wide smile on there faces as if to start the day afresh. But it is the end of the day for a Software Engineer who is supposed to be paid high for their high living standards and live a luxurious life.
Here we are increasing the economy of foreign land with no contribution to our own Bharat Mata who will with whole heart confined us within itself once the Death Bed is ready. I always wondered, did I really wanted to be a software engineer ? Is this the life I ever dreamed of ? A Hotel Management course would have give me more self satisfaction and the real zeal of life then this. I was always this girl next door who wanted to settle down, have family, raise kid with values and see them grow :) They say, Life is what you make it and I am on the wheel !!!
Dedicated to all my Softie Friends :)
