Hagrid of Infosys.

Sudhir Mishra of Infosys was coming to visit today and, for the first time in my college life, somebody coaxed me into wearing formals to college.

Formal shirt, formal jeans, leather shoes (spit-polished), a tie (which I seriously dislike) and, what more, even a formal watch.

When we were recruited, we were told that punctuality was one of the most important virtues in professional world but, wouldn’t you guess it, the session scheduled for 1 O’clock was delayed by 1 ½ hours. Anyways, we had no option but to wait (after all these guys were saving us from unemployment in these times of recession).

I must say that this Mishra-guy has always had a soothing effect on us. His way of chatting people up and assuring a future full of possibilities is amazing. I know he was most probably just exaggerating, but knowing that we’re gonna have a hell of a time at Mysore (the training campus of Infosys) was too overwhelming. Yes, that’s the only word that describes the details he gave us.

Although, it’s highly probable that we might not get time to enjoy the benefits of 5-star hotel like ambience, Rs.150/month gym and Rs.50 movie tickets when we’d have to work our asses off to save our job.

But that, as they say, is another story!
