LIFE AT MYSORE

Imagine a person who has known only games,sleep, movies,books all over his life was now surrounded by values, ethics and last but not least professionals!! Yes I had entered the corporate life at last.A place where people feel proud for eating dosa with a spoon and pizza with hand.Its also a place where people use communicator to speak with person next to you.After some boring lectures on policies and all that bla-bla stuff, we were left in front of computer.The person on my left and right speaks telugu and some speak malayali and some speak language which i couldnot recognize.Later i found that it was oriya! Around 25th of June, the "real mysore life " started. We had classes in the morning ,exercises to do in the noon. To add to this ,we have to study at night and there is a exam tom.BANG! No time to eat, no time to chat and even no time to sleep-the most precious hobby I am having in my life!!! there is a saying. U wont forget ppl who are with u in ur dark times.We were in the darkest times i would say. Blossom came in my life came only when I entered stream training. As time passed by, i made friends and at one point ,i had started to get accustomed to the situation..
how much time u can have coffee break?? 10 mins,half-an-hour......... but once i had a coffee break which started at 11:30 PM and ended at 3.30AM in the morning.and we were interestingly talking about ghosts during that mid-night break .
We had exam next day which includes project also. I had completed the project work at 8 and went to the food court (professionals don't call it a canteen!).I decided to have curd rice and my friends warned me it is not good to have it as we had to study all night.i had curd rice and went to room.i decided to have a half-an-hour nap and slept.when i woke up,the time is 1.30PM and i had a lot of missed calls in my cell. the exam next day was the toughest exam of all the exam!I went to the lab at 2 AM .Dont see it a weird thing to go the lab at 2 AM.When i went there more than 50 ppl (half the class) was there.(thats the way mysore life works!!)i finished studying at 4 AM and went to room and slept.The next day exam was the toughest one and to my surprise , i got 74 !! .After i finished,i helped the ppl around me .There were 50 one mark questions and i had helped them in about 10 questions.I helped around 3 ppl.guess what will be their mark ??
They got 36, 44 ,54 !!! All the answers i told them were wrong and they had changed their answers assuming that since i had got 74 ,im right.To my surprise when i came out,only 20% of the people had passed in that exam and i felt that i had helped the trainers in bringing down the pass percentage !! However,from that day onwards, my friends used to make fun of me saying that the CURD rice was the real culprit .
SLEEP has always been a difficult factor at mysore.But my aim always is to sleep atleast 5 hours and eat three times a day.I am proud that I have followed it throughout the training! .basically all the people in this world are doing something or other job to have a piece of bread .If somebody says there is no time to eat,I cant accept it.Whatever u earn or learn to earn is to look after yourself. When u cant even do the work of looking after yourself ,I consider it as a big failure.I remember a person at my age got ulcer because of not eating properly. But as the project deadline nears, I was forced to sleep for one or two hours for 2 days.
At last, we finished the training successfully.Some got posted in their hometown and others got posted elsewhere. On one fine evening, during the sunset we left the mysore campus. It gave us the feeling that we have spent a lot of years there and knew the people around us for ages .I could remember a lot of people leaving with tears.Life became a dull one when people who are posted in other cities left the campus earlier and chennaites were the last one to leave.I was in-charge of Chennai group and before I was about to close the door of our bus,a lot of people were begging me to start late by 5 mins or asking me to allow them to see their friends inside the bus atleast once.The departure was heart-breaking one for many as there are chances that they could not see their friends for the rest of their lives. However, apart from all these things, I really feel we lived a king's life at mysore. We entered mysore as a student and left it as a professional. Because, we have spent minimum 15 hours a day, for 120 days with each other .That's y I can feel people have soft corner for their mysore friends somewhere in the bottom of their heart.
