In life
there are various transitions that takes place & this transition phase is always
very special, remarkable, memorable in various sense.
Remember the
first time when you were moved out to school, those nursery class. The all
carefree environment of home ends to the disciplined boundary of school, the classes,
queue, timetables, teachers and all. Waking up daily, hurried up my mom for
bath, breakfast and finally to bus, which lands you to the place you hated.
Slowly the year passes and school become your very beautiful part of life,
yours friends, mates, gossips, fight, crushes and all.
Such a very
drastic, I would say challenging turn takes in our life when we join corporate
world after the end of our college.
Well in
India when most of my generation chose engineering, how could I miss? Yes, the
four year of B.Tech life was “LIFE” (missing college life means missing life).
The
inspirational line at college “ Ab ni krega to kya college khatm hone pr krega”
moves you to do every shit thing. The late night discussion, birthday bumps, bunking,
college fests, gaming, the groupings, last moment preparations at semesters
ends and all. This is how your college life winds up and you get placed in some
organization.
From the
carefree protected world you are now in all real world which is not going to be
protective in any sense. This is when you are going to experience lot of
changes:
Responsibilities:
The deadlines to be met..!! From now you are going to be assigned with various responsibilities to be completed in a given time frame. Deadlines at college were met by copying assignment at the last moments, that's not going to work here any more.
Punctuality:
At college you never cared to reach classes on time. The first lecture was seldom attended by most of the folks. At office you punch in and punch out the biometric, 10 minutes exceeding your time you
are on half day payment.
Worth of money:
Till the college your ATM is your Dad, account filled at the first week of month, never giving you chance to realise how the hard earned money all comes.
At job life you know the value of every penny you earned with hard work.
Helplessness:
At college you never cared for those helping hand, the professors who used to force for benefits of yours. Always ready to clear up your doubts. At work no-one is available to help you out, everyone is overburdened with their own responsibilities and work.
No bunking:
At college, it was all your will to attend a lecture or to bunk it. All you needed to fulfill a given minimum criteria to keep away from any detention. Also you have friends for proxy.
Now you need prior approval on leave slip, with your boss's eyebrows always raised for the reasons.
Self egos, arrogance to be eaten up:
While you are a trainee, you are sure to make mistakes, get scolded sometimes, sometimes you get played tricks being accountable for things someone else did wrong. Sometimes you would be asked for some petty work like getting documented photocopied or scanned.
But off all these you can't go arrogant or lessen your interactions cos more you interact more you would learn from those experienced one..
