Testing was happening at its high and to screw up the situation my feature gave me few more bugs, cursing the database servers I added up a couple more to my bugs list… my extension echoed.. I picked up the call with a smile on my face happily taking a break from my routine…
A sweet voice reciprocated from the other end, asking for my name… I replied with a stretched Yeeees… it was chandu from the insurance department and she was giggling… before I could initiate my conversation she started again by saying that the beep sound for your voice mail was good… I chuckled and replied that It was even worse earlier…. Fear that my manager would call me up some time and hearing my one-minute auto reply would screw him up, forced me to shorten it…. She continued her laugh and conveyed that my cheque for the insurance claim is ready… I thanked her for making my day and fixed an appointment to collect the sum making my plans to meet my wing mates along with that…
I hurried winding up my job and went to the neighboring cube to collect the key for my transportation.. key came along with an inquiry and a sarcastic smile “Today going to meet which GIRL da???” I gave the regular he he, turned my face not giving much importance to that and directed myself to the elevator… With in no time I reached the campus office and collected my reward for bearing the pain and limping for a couple of weeks(but that was an entertainment for few good mates of mine)…
Elevator took me to the 4th floor with ease and I moved to meet my chweety and chottu with a 70mm smile… chottu was busy with her manager generating more work to the testing team… I felt bad for the testers working in her team… getting over loaded with the work introduced by chotu and team… I thought of not disturbing her and proceeded to chweeties desk… she was stretching her back preparing herself for the next round of visit to other cubes leaving her work as usual… 200W flashed citing me on the frame… she pulled a chair for me and we started with our conversation…
It seemed like my voice traveled distance, chotu left her seat and came to us asking “Just now you pinged me rite, within no time reached her or what???” and started about her hectic work… I suggested to take a break and we all moved to grab a cup of coffee… in mean time I was trying to reach ponnuse through my mobile and chweeties extn both ending up in vain(forgetting the fact that she was using a dabba[useless] cell phone)…
Chottu went back to work as her manager came in and we proceeded to ponnuse’s desk… with much difficulty and circling around we found her place and as usual she was occupying someone else place shamelessly… We took the place and started our chit chat pulling others leg and my hunger call put an end to our conversation, directing us to the cafeteria…
I feasted myself with a veg sandwich ignoring my eyes flooding and my body sweating all over, thanks to the chef for adding more spice to it… Ponnuse and chweety had their mosambi juice not leaving even a drop for me(poor aadi)… verbal assault on me followed and as usual chweety fought from both the ends bravely pulling ponnuse and me down at the same time… Call from food corp of india kept ponnuse busy for a couple of minutes… she joined back and coupled with chweety, the duo started scoring on me which led me to lose my grounds… I surrendered and feeling sorry for me they left me to breath…
Dabba cell rang again giving us the news that chotu is coming to cafeteria… she came with a tired face and sad news for me… chweeties manager was looking for her… my chweety had to leave… Chottu grabbed a juice for her starting with her story of how she successfully fixed the bugs that she herself introduced in to the system… after a couple of minutes my cell rang and I was supposed to get back…we all split to our respective work place and catch up with the work left behind….
