What's common?
What’s common in school?
The run to avoid a cane on the palms for getting late, eating chocolates in interval using the change lifted from mom's purse, eternal wait for the sports hour- the most liked time in school, copying homework of others to avoid being expelled from the classroom the next day, jumping the compound wall to skip the boring post-lunch classes; the reason ‘feeling stomach pain’ to go home mid-day; keeping comics in text-books to hide from elders, quiver after seeing a question paper, 1st May eagerness to know the results. The excitement to go to college…
What’s common in College?
The soft ego “I also go to college”, friends with new faces in class, movies with friends, the freedom feeling of bunking classes, “no homework” happiness, night-outs copying the assignments, the last minute rush for submission, first crush, first break-up, rare patch-ups, the joy of first fag, beer, race on bikes with a bet, copying songs from PC to PC, proxy attendance, pleasure of doing freshers’ party, Cricket team politics, “who cares?” attitude, strong “I’m not made for this” feeling, loads of future plans – execution nil
What’s common in office?
Stronger “I’m not made for this” feeling, lots of forwarded mails – forwarded again, tea-time gossips, lunch time “away from machine” messages, Frequent “Out of Office” auto replies, 10 minute break extended upto half an hour –always, why me all the time?, why not me any time?, eternal wait for appraisals, “your boss is better” talk, sharing food, asking for parties for every possible reason, asking hows and whats to notice period mates, updating resumes and saying good bye one day.
