For some don't know about this, it's been almost 7 years for me in Chennai. so I thought of look back... And back in my time again..... like I always do 😂😂
Back in 2012, I was already ruined my carrier ..with useless experience of 6 years, no lust or love coz I've already broke up with multiple young and beautiful . No goal, don't know why I am in Chennai , I am definitely sure I am not here for fishing, though just joined a job in a very new industry that I've always hated ...to survive, to eat, to be on my own.. We'll it's was not working great for me, because....
Back in Hyderabad, I've a bike. Believe me or not my brother used to kindle me saying I'll go to Washroom taking my bike.. As in me and my bike is one.. Then, in Chennai, no bike, I've to catch a bus by morning around 7 o'clock to go to office, and the office stars at 9.. You know what I mean.. 2 hours early... it gets worse.. I've to walk 1.5 km to the bus stop and wait for 15 minutes to 30 minutes to catch the bus then reaching the destiny I've to walk again for 500 meters to get in to office.. while on my way back same thing again, if I am lucky enough some days I've to catch 2 busses in my way back.
Then, picture Abhi baakhi he mere dost.. Once I reach back to my.. Hostel/ mantion / guests house.. What ever it is called it's a hell believe me I was there for 45 days. Because I've to, I don't have any other choice. The people who stays there were daily drinkers, gamblers, maybe with other bad practices too..
Out of all these going around, one thing is always been joyed me is the company of a girl who I loved and got married 4 years ago, every day when I am in office, training, while in cafeteria.. Lunch time.. I confess all the time while I am in office. Before that day I saw her, I just say .. My life.. I live like I want ... Today here tomorrow there and don't know where I'll be the day after, or I would say today is the cash I'll spend it wisely...
So, during the first 45 days, my daily schedule was like: wake up... Get ready.. Walk to bus stop.. Catch the bus.. Once I reach office.. Have breakfast may be 2 Bajaji or if I am lucky enough 4 idly near the office.. Attend the training... I was the least knowledgeed person in the among all of them, I even have to write down my call opening script and call closing script.. I not speed at typing.. Not good listener not even good remembering of the products what I am about to work for. Best part is, first day of my training some one asked what is the project you are in.. I know how to pronounce it but don't know the spelling of it.. I've checked on the back of the monitor in front of me to know the spelling of the brand.. How embarrassing it was.. No one asked me or obsessed this.. But still not good.
I used to spend time alone in Marena beach during the week ends, stay alone in my room for hours together. Suddenly there is a change in my office location and I can not go by bus, have to opt a company transportation,well I'll reach office by time but the cab will come to my place at least 2hours early and have to go through peak traffic.
Then surprisingly, I've learned to manage things in a different way. Complete the shift > spend time with others in office > sleep in office dormitory> reach out to nearest friend room to fresh up and to be back to office, have food in office and only go back to my room 2times a week. And spend alone in week end.. This was a new king of hitchhiking. None of my friends, family or friends back home know about this.. But you know they never asked and I never told them.. During this course of first 4 months in chennai I've lost touch with so many of my friends and fought with some best friends and detached. However I never lost hope to see good days or prospores days in future...
After all this struggle, Chennai taught me how to be me, for me, and with me.. Taught me how to be strong ... Rest we'll discuss in next post
. Next week... Or you know when I get back in my time.... Like always I do.. 😂😂...
