Life what i thought of is so different from the current life im living. Its a kind of surreal experience. I still remember that day at CCD when pranu was encouraging me that everything will be alright and i will learn to be alone. I was having a bit of trepidations how i will cope up alone in Pune. On the first day in office my trepidations were more strengthened as i was left waiting in the reception for around 3 hours.
Then she arrived on stage the HR person (Vartika). I thought atleast someone is concerned abt me waiting in the reception. She made my rest of day more horrendous by askin me to fill up the forms. I wasn’t carrying any marksheets or photos on that day and to add to horror she asked to get the same. As usual it was my inadvertent nature that i had not even taken my marksheets to pune. She fumed at this and asked me to get them as early as possible. Which i haven’t till date.
I felt like stupid on first day as kunal had bought all his marksheets also he was flaunting that igtc badge proudly. No marks for guessing that i had not taken the badge with me. I was damn sure that Vartika didn’t like me. I was addressing her as Mam. Then later that evening in the bus she asked me politely not to call her Mam, as she was also a trainee like us. God o God my spirits soared like any thing as i thought that i had a bad impression on the HR on Day 1.
Then the days went on i was placed in the Logistics Dept and was asked to do projects on Import management. Until that i was still missing my friends and family who i thought were living a good life back in Mumbai. Meanwhile i started getting cosier with my life in Pune. I have discovered that it is not that a big deal living alone and away from your family. I can see that in my office no one is localite and everyone has left behind his/her family to earn a living. That gives me some courage that if these people can do why cant I?
Also in course of time I and Vartika became good friends and we would laugh and eat together. I thought i got a good friend and was happy, but this happiness was shortlived as she suddenly stopped comin to office and after a bit of enquiry i got to know that she was done with her training.
Story of my life.
