One day at my Office

My office is the most favourite place of mine in my so far life... Because of its immense beauty, its professional ambiance, its majestic infra, its aesthetic amenities and many other divine features which gives such an attractive appeal not only to me.. But also to every of its beloved associates.. We consider it as our heaven and also we find all the maximum possible chance to be there and dwell amidst the arena of cutting edge technologies serving around us...!! ( ~Suz:- given enough buildup for my office... :-) )

Still wondering in which heaven am I working in..??

A place where we make the idiot box go live to the world market. Yes..! A Software lab... A heaven in the IT corridor of the sacred city Chingaarach Chennai...! The Mecca of every chennai software professional...

THE MONDAY MORNING

The Monday morning is a crucial time for every of us. After the week end fever, we; the coder battalion march towards the office with our mind overflowing with the schedules for the week. We take our charge at our bay in a formal attire experimenting with an old tie to gain a perfect cute knot. But at most times, the experiment ends after a huge struggle resulting an unusual knot which no one has ever seen so far. :-)

The next is the mail checking session. After making the punch as a proof of reaching the office, the mail software is opened. The moment the software gets refreshed with the entire set of new mails marked in red colour. Many interesting forwards on friendship, clips, pics, PPTs & many other funny stuffs along with few corporate communication awaits for our action.

PMR

This is a formal review conducted for every project for the higher authorities to know about the direction in which the project is sailing at. A week before the day of the review, our team members start cooking the datum for this review. Then the datum gets garnished by putting it over a power point slide. Then the garnished item goes for a review, where a dash of coriander is added to give a final spicy touch up to make it delicious to serve. :-)

Team Meeting

Team meeting is an interesting occasion where we plan to pause on our tight schedules for a while and share our new learnings & issues. The most important meeting consists of a maximum of 3 to 5 peoples including me. :-) The meeting takes place in a separate conference hall where we take the most critical decisions which changes the future of the company.

THE CON-CALL

This is a call made to the people sitting at on site. This happens in a separate transparent sound proof hall, where the PMs sitting at on site allot the work for the off shore people. Most of the calls commences with the report on the previous day's status. We maintains a heroic smile on our face during the entire call in order to avoid the fact that we are getting blasted, knowing to others. The fact that the room is sound proof makes us escape being caught.

LEFT FOR THE DAY

This is "the most" awaited event of the day for every one of us. That is the time we leave our heaven to our home to meet our own people. The moment the minute hand points 45 at 7'O Clock, the server hosting the excellent software for marking the punch-out attains a crash due to the load... After a tiring successful attempt of punch-out, we board our Volvos to start the voyagin journey back to our home...

The day ends here... !!!
