Small mercies
The client came. And how. They came, criticized our work, humiliated the team members, passed insulting and deragatory remarks about me and threatened to cancel the project. I had work in the bank and reached the office post lunch. By then I had been informed by Veena that they were continuously degrading me and the … Continue reading
Abandonment
The Jaipur guys will be in office tommorrow( What a pain!). They wish to have a technical discussion with our team and suggest some changes ( a lot of them actually) before releasing our payment. That is quite unfair as they are anyway releasing only a micro part of the total payment (about 25%) and … Continue reading
Choices and consequences
We have been able to submit the data for four towns in Rajasthan (Amazing). This, despite and inspite of the constant noise over our heads, the recurrent power failures, the exit of Jagannath and last but not the least, the lack of our plotter (which is sitting in the service center). Of course yesterday was … Continue reading
De-stressing
Appu,my daughter is sleeping right now. Guess it is the effect of the painkillers and the heavy antibiotics. We need to re-visit the doctor on tuesday when hopefully the bandages will be removed. In the office, I have no work. I mean the laptop is gone and along with it all my data. So I … Continue reading
The good,the bad and the ugly
My laptop got stolen from the office two days ago,just a day before my daughter was scheduled for her surgery. It was a neat con operation. Two guys came right in the morning before the team members arrival, posing as hardware repair boys and took the laptop from the office peon who was cleaning at … Continue reading
Another week
Water Is a huge problem in these sweltering months of May and June in this country. We are sitting in an industrial area in new Delhi and paying through our nose for everything (rent,electricity,MCD etc.,) and yet there is not a drop of water. We have to buy water from private tankers and that is … Continue reading
Disappointed
I shouted at Jagannath today. I think the anger was building up. And it was important for me to express it. To say what was unacceptable. He just used this company to get a starting point, till he got ‘better opportunities’. And then once he found something more ‘lucrative, he did not have the decency … Continue reading
Just survival
I put in a copy of my police complaint to the Commissioner and hence the cops finally came to check out the complaint and meet the ‘lord’. I guess they had to come once ( the cc has some importance after all). I have no idea if it will have any effect ( the ‘lord’ … Continue reading
Beautiful words
I guess could offer consultancy services now, for how to file police complaints in case the landlord is causing trouble or harassment. The office landlord mis-behaved. Tore up the rent cheque as we had deducted the damages caused by the toilet being broken due to the construction work initiated by him right above us. Threatened … Continue reading
