What type are you?

It's been 1 month, 8 days and 22 hours since I published my last post.

Was I busy?

The answer is, Yes. To my friends and colleagues surprise, I had been spending 70% of my time in office, so the 30% of people can enjoy 70% of the profits. (The figures are not based on any survey, just made-up facts)

Workaholic. This is what I was trying to be. I always used to criticize workaholic people, telling them to have a life, a life not involving work. But then I figured out that criticizing something without experiencing it is not right. And from this it all started.

Every day waking up and reaching office before 9 in the morning. Leaving post 8 or at times even 10 in the night. Coming home tired, distracted. Having no time to do any of the things that I like. Well trust me, this life sucks - big time. The conclusion was - I can never be a Workaholic.

So the question here is - Why do some people be workaholic? Its a question difficult to answer. I will have to interview a workaholic for this. But that's a different topic all together.

The one thing that I have observed though is, there are different sects of working people. Workaholics are one of it. 50%  of people work normal. Normal here means - the one who tries to complete his work within the stipulated time. 'Tries' being the keyword here.

The next group is the lazy ass. Lazy and Ass are two different types. Lazy are smart to work but don't wish to, while Ass is the hard working dumb colleague. Lazy Ass together make 25% of the population. To compensate for the second group comes the Workaholic.

Workaholics are also of different types. Some are the ones who do time-pass throughout the day and sit back late to finish - this is my type. Some are the can't say 'No' types. You ask them to help and without losing a moment they are at your desk. While the others are the learners. They need time to learn (understand work), but make sure they work.

By now you might have figured out what type of employee you are. Feel free to state your type below in the comments.

These are the different types I could figure out. Have more types that you know? Do suggest in the comments.

Statutory Warning: This is a light-hearted post. Not based on any of my friends or colleagues. So don't compare.

    With rapid advance in technology, a day would come when people would be able to do work by thinking only :-)

The One With The Coastal Ride

Image
It was 7:30 in the morning of 4th March, 2017 at Chandni Chowk, Pune. 22 people on 18 rides set out for a journey of different sorts. I was also there, like a ghost among the 22 different souls. Thirty minutes into the start and I was thinking, 'Did I make a mistake joining this journey? Do I make some lame excuse and go back home?' This trip was definitely out of my comfort zone. I had been on road trips earlier (with friends) but never on an overnight trip with 22 strangers. It was difficult, for an introvert like me. I need time to mingle up and a day was surely not going to help create that bond. Plus, this was going to be my longest bike expedition till date. But then I thought otherwise, 'It was the trip that I needed not that I wanted.' And then I went with the flow. It was only a week before when I saw this post from Mysterious Rangers that I decided I have to go for this. So I started asking my friends, if they would like to join? And one by on...

Kasarsai Dam and Beyond

Image
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Famous proverb, agreed by many, followed by few. Well, I'm one of those, who follows this from the heart. And I have my own version of it. It goes something like this No road trip, makes roy ma sad boy. Pretty lame, huh. If you have anything better, do mention it in the comments. So this time, I set out on a trip to Kasarsai Dam with my friend Zeyn . One does not always ride solo, cause even Han Solo is not solo. He always has Chewbacca for company. (For those who don't know Han Solo and Chewbacca, go watch Star Wars). And yes, me and Zeyn are like Han Solo and Chewie. Okay. Now coming back to the trip. I had been to Kasarsai a few times earlier as well. Its a pretty nice place - with a serene environment, the sound of lapping water, chirping of birds, wind blowing on your face and finally the pleasant view of the setting sun. Kasarsai in its glory.

Rashtrapati Bhavan goes Missing

The sun is yet to come out, its raining heavily and he has just disconnected a call when the phone rings again. "Hello. Yes I'm on my way. In the rick. They are waiting there", he replies partly yawning and then disconnects. Two different thoughts - Oh man, how I miss my sleep. Haha, fashionably late for a person living so close - running through his head. In a few minutes Mr R is at the airport. At the gate are Miss A, Miss M and Mr H waiting for him. (I'm using short names for the people cause I haven't consented them about this post, so maintaining anonymity plus its fun to write in third person. For those of you who haven't guessed it, yes, Mr R is me). After waiting in a long queue (even though they had got the web check-in done) to deposit the check-in luggage they were finally aboard the Indigo Airlines for the Capital. All four of them had a seat next to the window (because badal zaruri hai)  staring at the clouds as it turned colour from da...
