9-5ers------------sui generis

day 1
join the bandwagon:
a ten minute walk from V.T to churchgate accross azad maidan a 7 minute smoke...a 1000 other 9-5ers..marching to auschwitz are we??
i went to my first ever corporate meeting.clad in formal clothes[not to forget the discomfort it causes] and marching up to the plush office armed with notepad and pen,i promised myself to pay attention unlike in a classroom,not go to sleep.
but i should've known what fate had in store for me.Miss I-know-it-all rambled like she got paid per word she uttered and stuttered about everything she ever knew, and me,instead of listening to her,indulged in an another activity..watching
what i watched at my first ever corporate meeting:

• how MNC's blow trivial things way out of proportion
• how they air condition their offices and upholster couches to match their walls and have coffee vending machine for their creative staff.
• how the so-called-managers not manage to find anything sent to them,mails,posts,etc
• how they gesticulate and ramble on like the leaning tower of Pisa may crash if they don't
• how watching the setting sun reflect from their glass paned windows sounds a 100 fold interesting as compared to the nonsensical puking of phrases an d idioms straight out of 'how to make friends in 45 days'.
• the bottleneck traffic seems like an escape!
