A COFFEE- Coffee with Crayon

A COFFEE

(Coffee with karan?? No, simply No….. Its “COFFEE WITH CRAYON”)

Writing on such topic surely needs a coffee in one hand, if you love coffee then only you can write on it (my perception) because the fact is you can’t love your girl friend unless and until you have one. J

A Coffee is something that subtracts the laziness from each and everyone, something that helps to recollect memories, something that helps to push the ideas from the sleepy brain.

So, with the awaken brain and rejuvenated thoughts I’d like to pen down or would like to share the ideas or thoughts that are approaching my mind.

 Monday Morning

Monday morning, today, is breezy and spanking new, unlike previous hot-shot ones’. Though, people are busy working but the point of difference today is the airy and soothing weather. With a cappuccino in one hand and a pen in another, I can write as much as I can, jab tak coffee chalegi tab tak mere haath challenge J

Lucky Workers

How lucky the workers are who are cleaning the garden outside not because they are cleaners but they can sit outside, they can gossip and can enjoy the breeze with a Sutta.

Freezing Cold

Along with the cool weather out the AC’s on my head is icing the atmosphere and forcing me to get a pull-over which I can’t and this fucking coffee is helping me in no ways. I probably should go inside the kitchen and sit on the burner for some heat on the ass effect.

Bunch of Interns

We three ( Garima, mitali and I ) must be thinking that what fun is it, sitting inside , working on the desk, looking at the peacock spreading the beautiful feathers? We are the interns with no work, I mean no work load, though, we are allowed to go and enjoy but I guess it doesn’t look good. We probably must sit and check the CALDATA ( it’s the folder where the stuff of employees’ here is saved and we can check and see what work is required to do over here)  

End of thoughts

Finishing the coffee, I’m now left with no thoughts, feeling sleepy again. I can’t even watch some movies on the laptop ( I’m afraid of HR manager here who is sitting right behind me, I deduce that she’s strict)

15 more minutes to go for lunch, so with this piece of writing, coffee with crayons episode first of sharing my views ends here and I now sign off with a quote;

“Laugh out loud the thoughts with a coffee, because it brings a VOLUME button to your life breaking the silence ever, forever.” 

WORK & WEATHER, NEVER TOGETHER

Sitting and watching outside, without blinking

What a cool weather, I’m thinking

Hearing to chirpy birds, working on the laptop

Listening to the music, jazz and pop

My heart says, go have fun, I’ve heard

Wish I could go for a ride on jha sir’s thunderbird

No girl at the back I want

With, simply driving and humming songs, I can flaunt.

But in the office, I must do one thing

Neither I can do surfing nor can I sing

Coz dad called n said “Keep working Beta”

So, I’m just gaining knowledge through “CALDATA”

On this fresh morning of Monday

I’m doing stuff and writing in my own way

Sitting and watching outside, without blinking

What a cool weather, I’m thinking

P.S. Caldata is the folder where employees put in their saved files and folders. 

THE PRESSURE IS ON

I’ve always heard the fact that, things done post lunch are not tedious or with pressure. Atmosphere is quite relaxing but this thing doesn’t work when you are in office. Office says,

” Relax as much as you can before lunch because after that Bosses are Don and the Pressure is on.”

This is the first time in office I’ve seen some people in tension (obviously because of work load) unlike the previous days and I remain silent again along with a bit of work.

Along with my analysis on Rural Market I found that Mr. Narendra was quite and was silently doing his work, first time saw him in tension.

Amardeep was as usual chilled out, smiling and completing her tasks assigned.

Ms Aastha Kataria ( the trendy lady with a nose piercing, Glad to know her name) is free, with less work. I watched her watching some watches in the magazine. (I know this is an example of wrong English and this has to be something like this “She was checking out some wrist watches” but watches-watches was going so rhythmically so I’d put it like that way only )

Gayetri (Beautiful voice not so loud) was doing hell lot of work since morning till now and Ms.Pragya Sarkar ( The Fifth Lady in the office. She is married, she looks young, she talks well, I’d give 3 out of 10 for the choice of sandals she wore today, a perfect arrogant boss to any junior and a pierced nose …aarrgggg!!! ) kept on forcing gayetri to do the work and she was successful ( SHE is used for both of them)

Varun was quite a surprise element today, he was shouting on the phone, I mean on the normal note its almost impossible to hear him when he speak on the phone. Apart from that he was also doing his regular work.

Ms. Tanisha, i would like to thank her from the core because she was out for some work for last 3 days and I got the desk and chair with a desktop again. (This is the day that the lord has made, let me be glad and rejoice) but that happiness would not last for long.

On the whole each and everyone I knew were under pressure today and were trying to complete their work ASAP. One last thing would like to add , it felt so good that (I cant explain) a person came to me and said “Collect your cheque”  though he mistook me for some other guy , but I swear I was one the ninth cloud.

Nevertheless, this day will come too very soon and with this cheqy note I sign off with a stanza;

“Some are good, some are bad

With lots of work they make you feel bad

Less they appreciate more they toss

They can do anything, they are your boss.”

Aao job Job Khelein

Aao Job Job Khelein/ End of the Silent Day

Starting a new day again and stepping for success in Crayons Advertising ( Yet again a dream ) , When Jha sir calls karan and says “AAO JOB JOB KHELEIN” and putting a smile on my face , I am now energized to accelerate more for work.

Monday is supposed to be a working day (usually hectic as compared to other days) according to the other employees here. But what bad could happen than finding out that you enter the office and you see someone else sitting on your chair, basically that was never my chair , I only sat there and worked for last 7 days :P (That someone else is the real owner and she is a Lady :D, and the best part here is Name Unawareness ) but I seriously got emotionally attached  to that desk. Oh God! Losing a desk made me feel like losing a job the very second week of my internship. (NO JOKES APART, My whole zone of work is shifted , ghumta hi reh gaya aaj to office main)

A working Monday is, I guess one of the ecstatic day of my life because Bothra is back and I am relieved to see myself back (Talkative, Extrovert and now looking forward to make people smile) Obviously it will take more time to jell up with people and making them feeling comfortable.

 Finally!!

The so called silent days are now gone ( I hope so) , had the conversation with few colleagues and yes I was correct ,they are also new and they were also confused with the environment over here. One thing I can now surely say is I am now making myself adaptable to the corporate world, I know it’s quite early to conclude this but I am sure enough.

Adding some more friends, Office Friends I must say, in the long friends’ list of mine.

Karan, The friendly person ( Remember, he is always in a hurry)
Amardeep, Punjabi Girl, with a cute smile ( Lady 1 from the article ‘Another Silent Day’)

     Gayatri, Lady with the grey eyes , sweet voice( Lady 2 from the article ‘Another Silent Day’ ,I'd give              10 on 10 for her vioce)

      Vaibhav, I’ve mentioned it earlier ( The Wikipedia )

      Varun, it’ll take time to be friendly with him, he is a bit reserved I presume.

All and all a mixed starting of this new day and the first Monday of my office life as an intern was an assortment of activities, from losing a chair to conversing with the employees to feeling fresh after a week to meeting friend of mine from the same batch ( garima, she is an intern too) and having a cappuccino in the last.

Well, a concluding idea for other offices is, please put a Café Coffe Day machine because it helps new employees to feel fresh and to do a time pass when they are new. With this  Ending my note with a quote,

“No rapid Fire, No Life Questions, only thing I had the last 7 days was 

COFFEE WITH CRAYON”

Another Silent Day (Part 2)

Another Silent Day

(Part 2)

I guess I have to make it a schedule of being silent or I should keep a finger on the lips the moment I enter the office. (Like we use to do in our nursery classes)

Without writing much of a gyaan, I begin with the introduction session of the CHICOS and CHICAS of the office with more entries in the article today and surprisingly I know some of the names too.

Mr.Faizan (I hope I spelled it correct) the son of a well-known minister ( Mr.S.c.Ahmed) simple , cool and relaxed guy with a bit of required attitude , one thing which I’ve heard about him is ; he never shows off being a son of a high category personality ( Quite Impressive) and if this is true then ,he is undoubtedly a guy to be friends with.

Mr. Beard ( No name) , tall and a fat guy with a tattoo on his elbow , some spider web tattoo , with a Mexican beard , I’ve seen him circulating circulars most of the time and he sits with the creative team I suppose. ( creative team main hona chahiye mujhe :P )

Not because of creativity, because of tattoos and I am sure most of them must be having nice tattoos.

Mr. Vaibhav, Remember!! The Wikipedia guy, he is the one. (Finally! I had the conversation with him and I was so happy to know that he faced the same dilemma which I am facing i.e. what to talk? With whom to talk? Can I even talk?)

Mr.Varun, with Specs, well built, stylish, Brainy and tidy person in the office, who sits in the same row, next to me and according to him,”less talking is the best part of office to concentrate more on the work assigned)

Mr. Harendra, Soft Spoken, down to earth, Sober and always ready to work. He is also in Client Servicing team.

This was all about CHICOS and not much to mention in CHICAS category because I did not see anybody new except one girl (I don’t know the department) with a tattoo on her shoulder , some sloka in hindi.   (Sexy tattoo)

Rest all are the oldies which I’ve mentioned in my previous writing, the same 4 ladies ( Brahma ji ne chup rehne ka vardaan diya hai, the only thing they do is passing smiles) , the same environment , same gestures from each and everyone , nothing new today.

One bad thing about the work culture over here is, employees working here only works nothing else ( I may be wrong ) but this was the thing which I’ve noticed , groups hain but kya hai kaun hai kuch idea nai hai.. Feeling a bit awkward, living a life of a introvert person from last 3 days which I’m not and now I think I have to post one update on facebook which I never wanted to do i.e.  “My Internship has got the remote minus the volume button and it is irritating me somehow being mute all the time”. ( koi to baat kar lo yr mujhse L ) I spend my high quality time during lunch time only, I wish I could eat more to enjoy more in the office ( Yeah !! Yeah !! I know office is not the place for entertainment but its even not the place of boredom)

To conclude, I now got some work where in I need to push myself harder to get the work done according to the requirements and I guess today would be the day when I’ll be busy too.

That was more about Being Silent the whole day, lot more to come but till then I sign off: D

Its Good to Love and to be Loved

“ Hosh bekhabar se hue unke bager,

Wo jo humse keh na sake

Dil ne keh diya.. Saki ne fir se mera jam bhar diya”

Beautiful lines from the song GUNCHA KOI by Mohit Chauhan , which reminds me that falling in love is no harm or no crime . It’s infact a natural calamity that everyone must enjoy and should feel happy about it.

Some must be against it , some must be in favor and some would love to stay neutral , but just imagine a day when nobody calls you , nobody shares a joke to make you smile, nobody pulls your leg or  nobody treats you special, what would you call that day, “BULLSHIT” I guess.

I am not saying that the one you love is suppose to love you too, its just the feeling which either of them should have

“i don’t know why I feel

This way about you now

Something inside has change

Nothing I feel the same”

Just think of these lines and live the life more romantically ever than before.

INTERNSHIP... The Meaning

INTERNSHIP

Write this word and press SHIFT+f7, thesaurus would give the meaning as PLACEMENT, POSITION or JOB.

Sitting as an intern and typing this word with the set combination obligated me to write on this because what thesaurus said and what I face is totally different.

PLACEMENT: We must always keep that in mind, Internship has no relation with Placement, because we’ve been hearing that placement is something that our college provides us and internship is something that our college provides us :P ( sounds same but the difference is , earlier is permanent and latter is temporary). We work for 2-3 months, I mean we sit in the office for 2-3 months and working hours are approximately 20-30 in total. Being an intern we are so lucky because we can roam around, we can poke anyone ( i don’t do) and we can watch movies ( the best part being an intern)

POSITION: Position is nothing if we are working as an intern; we get a system without a net connection ( No access to FB) we sit on the chair and keep looking at who enters and who exits, we can have lunch at the specified time and drink as many coffee as we can so as to be awake and alert. One position during internship is BE THE CHAIRPERSON and we do the NOT SO REQUIRED WORK in the required period of time and then go back to the hostel and feel tired as if you’ve been working since ages.

JOB: No job. Only line that best explains the Job of an intern is “YOU ARE BUSY DOING NOTHING”

( This was the third piece of writing from me and as I’ve mentioned I’m doing this unnecessarily because I’m  busy doing nothing, this is my job and I’m placed on this position )

Well, that was the short yet boring explanation of Internship and now I sign off :D

Another Silent Day

I never knew that people ( some exceptional) working in the office are so busy that they have no time to say hi/hello. What kind of busyness is this? They do have time to roam around , they do have time to attend the calls, they do have time to gossip but I guess early in the morning saying ‘HELLO’ would definitely hinder their schedule. ( this is what I felt)

So, sitting idle again with my laptop, let me try to figure out the employees working here(till the time my boss gives me some work) , obviously I won’t be able to know them all( because they hardly speak to me) but let’s see what my observation tells me about them.

Everybody here ( Crayons) got specific work to do;

 One person with specs, serious looks, quiet and peaceful (Sorry, I don’t know his name) is a silent observer here, observer in the Wikipedia ( Kuch kuch to karta rehta hai).

Mr. Narendra (My boss, I mean, he is the person under whom I am suppose to work) is a busy and cool person.

Mr. karan another passionate guy under Mr.Narendra and he is always in a hurry to do the work assigned to him (God knows why).

3 lady (again I’m unaware of their names) sits in front of me (I mean I sit in front of them : P ) They look at each other sometimes and they do what a lady is suppose to do i.e. Passing a witty smile and saying something through eyes ( I bet no man can ever make out that they conveyed ) The only time they talk is Lunch time or when they are attending calls.

Lady 1. Smart, Tall, Catchy Smile, Low voice, and always checking out something.

Lady 2. Fair, Cute, grey eyes, mostly in Indian outfits, serious and en elegant employee

Lady 3. Stylish ( the one who enters the office with sunglasses and she removes it when she reaches her platform of work) fair ( I guess she puts a makeup, but it suits her)  , and I must say a bit of attitude.

and here enters the fourth lady who sits at the back , with specs , Pierced nose ( the thing I hate the most) Trendy, modish, and ring tone of her phone is sweet ‘I’M YOURS by Jason Mraz’

Mr. Ranjan , President of Crayons, is a gentleman I must say and a chilled out person, and one can always make out when he enters ( because his boots are noisy, like old hindi movies when villain use to enter with THAK-THAK sound )

Mr.Sandeep, works in the servicing team , a friendly Marwari, always ready to gossip and a clean hearted person.

(entry of a muscular guy) Not sure, whether he is popular or not, A dude among all the employees, left ear pierced and some different hair do.

Mr. Diwik, I know him since I was in school, he was my senior and elder brother of my very good friend, a person who seems to be lost but many strategies are running in his mind, he looks the job of internet or online ad’s , a person with a laid-back attitude.

Ms. Receptionist , a confused lady, but a cute one ( the moment I saw her I recalled the ad of OLEY TOTAL EFFECTS :P)

I guess in two days its enough to know so many ‘PERSONALITIES’ altogether, and I end it here with a ringing tone in the phone of the  Fourth lady ( Mentioned above)  which is , for me, a hooting sound ( As in KBC) and my mind says ‘Oh! Samay samapti ki ghosna.’

Many more updates to come regarding “Another Silent Day” Because I’m sure lot many days of silence are in my list. 

First Day at Work

New Phase Of life.

Starting the thing which I always thought of, starting the phase which I always dreamt of, started working the stuff, the stuff which was my hobby a day before and today it’s a step ahead so as to achieve the career objective.

INTERNSHIP, A small stride towards the corporate world/ Advertising world. First day, in CRAYONS ADVERTISING, was good , did some fun filled creative activity. Saw the cool atmosphere, the friendly environment and a boss who treated me like a friend. I guess it was the first day, so the treatment was a bit lenient, I hope it goes on like this only for next 8 weeks.

One thing I did not like was people here did not talk much. They do stare at the new entrant but no activity from their side , may be some were new to the company (someone from the company told me) or may be they have their own comfort zone. I exactly don’t know what the reason was but a zero conversation with others on the very first day. ( Unlike me)

Talking about the work, work culture is superb. There are separate teams to work on separate areas. Like; Creative team, Media Team, Campaign handling team and it goes on. I made one video on tree plantation 

( The first professional video) and I felt awesome.

One more thing I’d like to add on ; Got to see the politics , I mean JISKI JIS SE BANTI HAI, USKI JYADA CHALTI HAI, I guess it happens everywhere and I then remember that I told my dad, “DAD, no Sifarish let me do the work on my own” but I guess after some time if things did not go well, I also have to think of some JUGAAD.(this day should never come)

Right now I’m focusing on doing the work , giving my 100% and impressing my boss by working on the stuff which is more or less my cup of tea. So, I guess it’s the time to tighten the lace to increase the pace and its now time to make CRAYONS my playground.

Looking forward to it, and waiting for the positive responses from everywhere.
