So here it is... The high funda, low on ideals thingie that makes the world go round.. MONEY..
With my buddies starting off their jobs and all,it's kinda nice to see independence seep into them within a month of work... At least financial independence...People who would once hesitate to have a By-2 tea at a kaaka's petty shop have suddenly developed benevolence towards corporate scum.. Not only are they spending money for things that are totally unnecessary,they seem to do a favour by letting you in the cash flow as well... As a mark of their solidarity in the friendship of course.. And I mean this in the nicest way possible...Nice being what I'd describe the Addams family to be...
It's kinda funny to see such a rapid transformation of normal sane people into zombies that moonlight as spendthrifts on weekends... I guess money does that to people.. :) What's funnier still is the fact that they make no qualms about the fact that they've changed...
Hmmm... I first perceived my own post as a bitter rant of a budding employee who's awaiting his long extended joining date.. :p But I guess that's about only a quarter of the picture.. It's quite hard to remain unchanged (God knows I'd love to!) when people around you, people you knew well once, are gradually changing themselves to 'fit in'.. I'm quite happy for having this opportunity to rethink aspects of my work life before I begin work..
As one of my good friends put it,"Sometimes putting a humongous amount of effort to achieve something is what brings you down".. An effort to fit in with our co-workers sometimes will take a toll on the person we ought to be... We let our thoughts, our selves to be swept away by this new wave that's sweeping batches of fellow-graduates to unknown shores... Wake up now friends..!!
In all probability I'll join you sometime soon,but for what it's worth, I know I've given it a serious thought as to what I intend to make of myself (as a person,not a professional!) at my job..
P.S: I don't intend to target this post to any friend of mine in particular...It's just an observation.. Feel free to express what you think of this...I mean the inactive readers as well.. :')

nice to know i have so many readers... :)
very true... things which were luxuries earlier have become necessities of late...
indeed... :)
Hmmmm.. the benevolence ( should I say, "benevolence") trust me, comes as a huge relief to many of my friends. Not meaning to demean anyone, but I have seen "friends" of their "friends" rejoice when they enter the my-wallet-has-(my)money. Anyways that was just what I found to be amusing coz' sometimes money doesn't do it just to the person who earns but beyond :P
Am glad that you actually thought on these lines before u started work :)
And yes :/ I noticed the "nice to know i have so many readers... :)" :P
