Diary of an exhausted working electrical engineer

In the first episode you read about my ordeal and frustration related to not getting placed “Diary of a frustrated electrical engineer” and in the second episode you empathized along with me on the topic of getting placed “Diary of an employed electrical engineer”. Kya karun......Nolan to nahi hun, but had to complete the trilogy anyway… This here is the last episode the concluding episode...The dark episode, the episode with the dark realities...nothing in this episode is a work of fiction.


8..it has been 8 full months for me playing the role of an electrical engineer. Yeah, playing the role, because each day I have to just pretend that I know what I should know as an electrical engineer, just like an actor does. Just like an actor each day I put up the uniform and be someone else. 


Well anyways, putting resentments aside...Hello again I am Charlie here, coping up with the employed life, still reminiscent about college life, trying to strike a balance between work and social life( no need to panic, still single, social life ends up with one phone call to my parents.)... 

Time badal gaya but me nhi badla
Me abhi bhi wahi Charlie hun jo abhi bhi har year badi ummeed ke sath bina padhe CAT ka exam deta hai, aur fir result kharab aane pe kehta hai "yaar padhai nhi ho paayi thi". Wahi Charlie jo aaj bhi har ek job portal pe apna CV upload karta hai, is ummeed me ki kahin se to call aayegi. Wahi Charlie jo LinkedIn pe doston ko keh kar apne aap ko endorse karwata hai is ummeed me ki shayad kisi recruiter ki najar uski profile pe padh jaaye. Wahi Charlie jo aaj bhi The Hindu apni vocab improve karne ke liye padhata hai. Wahi Charlie jo aaj bhi thesaurus ki help leke bhari bhari words apne blog me jabardasti daalta hai.

To be honest socha to tha ki job me aish karenge, will get to learn new things, corporate culture me jiyenge,   salary aaya karegi....jam ke udayenge, but aisa kuch nhi hota...trust me after a point it's  just getting up, punching in, somehow managing to get through the day, punching out, get rest, getting up, punching in...

This employed life of mine brings about a thought in my mind:-
Saala is liye itni laatein khayi thi mene us din


Wo bhi kya din they …..”class chalega??..”…..”abbey chodd man nahi hai”
Aur ab “abbey Sunday hai kahin chalein?”…”yaar kaam hai office jana padega”

“Oye assignment kar liya”…”abbey chap denge raat me beth key nhi bhi hua to kaat lega jitney number katne hain usne”
Boss-“report ready??”..” yes sir, just needs some final touch, sir I have put my soul into this”

It would be enought to end this post with this picture and this question " kya yehi life hai??"
