My first day at my first job

The bluish sky was hastily embellished with dark, dusty stratus obliterating the mighty sun, which was struggling drastically for a glimpse of the scenic earth. Cool breezes were soothing the delectable landscape including me. I just peeped through the window of my lovely gaff indulging the pleasant scenario, which flung me deep into the thoughts reminding me the first day of my first job.

That day I woke up early in the morning with quite a lot of excitement despite the weather being somnolent. My parents hastened me asking me to get ready as quickly as possible so that I could make it to the office sharp at 9 A.M. With lots of musings revolving in my mind I curbed meticulously all the important certificates that I need to carry, with my father guiding and reminding me now and then each and every possession I need to carry. My mother on the other hand embarked on her lecture… asking me to be careful at the office, suggesting me not to leave my friends, advising me to eat properly and commanding me to call her now and then so that she could peacefully watch her favorite culinary programs on the idiot box….(he he...jus kidding mom)..:)....As a daughter I could comprehend her feelings and was quite overwhelmed for her warmth and care.Meanwhile my grandmother asked my mother to come and stand in front of me outside our domicile as it was supposed to be a good omen. My brother wished me good luck and told that he would be eagerly waiting for me so that I could share with him my experiences at the campus.

With a mélange of dwellings piercing through my mind, I bid them goodbye and finally stepped out of my abode, marched towards the bus stop along with my father and boarded into the bus. Accidentally I happened to meet one of my college mates (Satya…. now my buddy) who was also supposed to join the organization on the same date. On journeying for an hour and a half we finally got off at the campus and were flabbergasted at its ambience. All of a sudden it started drizzling and the security permitted us to get inside. I peeked at my father once, who then emboldened me and assured me that it was my day.

The premise was damn swanky and plush with the logo of our organization emblazoned at the apex of one of the skyscrapers over there. I was then abruptly reminded of the encomiums showered by one of my buddies (Mannar) on the campus who then happened to join the organization two months back and I felt them quite apt...:)

In about an hour the hall in which we were made to sit was swarmed with all the new joiners. As usual the room sounded like a typical Indian fish market with the chattering of the joiners. I was suddenly brought back to this globe of IT from the world of chit chatting as the room hushed up where I found a lady strolling into the hall. She was lithe, supple and graceful and essayed a dazzling smile. She has the gift of the gab and gabbed informing us the inception of the organization, its specializations and accomplishments till date. Her lecture was succeeded by a few more talks by the HR department. Later we were made to fill in oodles of forms, which was quite enthusing initially and as we scribbled in a few forms it sounded monotonous and so we just doodled of the remaining forms. At about 1 P.M. in the afternoon they asked us to depart for lunch.

All the joiners segregated themselves into groups and en bloc strolled towards the food court. All of us were astounded and enthralled at its ambience and salubrious and savored the food. Post lunch we had a few more talks by the remaining departments and finally they winded up the session for the day by instructing us the responsibilities and the high expectations that they had on us. Later we were asked to leave for a renowned hospital for a medical check up. Trust me it was peevish...:(

In no time we were done with it and paced off to our respective homes flaunting pride as if we accomplished a Herculean task. To complement the feeling, it started drizzling again and we with elation we drenched ourselves in the rain, got into our respective buses and reached our dwellings. It was indeed an unforgettable day in my life and I always keep cherishing those precious moments...:)

Note: I penned it with the inspiration of my buddy deepthi who too penned her experiences on the first day of joining..:)
