The new Job

Started a new job yet again..
The thing that I hate the most about starting to work at new places; you are all a stranger to a group of people getting along quite well (since all of them share same enemy). Starting days are all the same; you go to work, you try to do your work, sit quietly and smile when all others are chit chatting and you’ve even got better gossip and remarks than most of them but you just have to sigh and keep it to yourself. The reason, you are the new girl and don’t yet feel like leaving your shell and joining them.

I don’t know if its the same with all of you but, to me the cycle repeats itself at every new place.

Let’s see how long it takes here to be the crazy self again..

What people tell me during these starting days:

“Why do you speak so low; we can’t hear you.” (Well, no comments about that. Have been overheard by the very person of whom I am talking so many times that now even people don’t mind me and I am considered outspoken.. lol.)

“You speak so little” (I guess my friends would like to answer for me on this.)

“Do not work so much. Just chill.” (Well, this never changes. Because I love what I do and can’t just sit along when a problem is looming above.)

“Don’t be shy. Eat” (Now, this one is an epitome. Me and my friends are foodies. We live to eat.)

and the repetition of the above lines in many forms.

My only answer to all the above questions..

बार — बार मैंने आगे बढ़ ,
आज नहीं मांगी हाला,
समझ न लेना इससे मुझको,
साधारण पीनेवाला ,
हो तो लेने दो, ऐ साकी,
दूर प्रथम संकोचों को,
मेरे ही स्वर से फिर सारी,
गूँज उठेगी मधुशाला।
