First Day To BT Office-Adstral Park !

After sleeping on the floor ( obviously with bedsheets on it ! ), i woke up fresh on the monday morning ,with lot of nervousness and butterflies in my stomach ( No they were not of morning Pressure Guys ! ) , i was thinking about meeting the people in my office and interacting with them my clients,who talk directly to Company CEO or my Corporate Head, no way near to my managers ! And i was nervous to interact with them. With these thoughts i started to get ready for office and tried my best to get ready for office, as quickly as i could, when the reality of having one bathroom and 4 people to get ready came thrashing on me , and i sat outside waiting for my turn and believe the wait was quite painful and started to show on my face through my stomach., but like an optimistic Indian i held on the hope that i will get to access the bathroom soon and Finally my flatmate came out and i rushed to the bathroom and rest is censored guys :) . Anyways let me tell you i am not one of those guys who just go in the bathroom and come out of it drycleaned in 15 minutes,all set to go , i am probably of those slow type ,who enjoy reading newspaper in the washroom and then bath to their heart's content. But somehow realising the impotance of first day i tried my best to restrict my bathroom time and get ready and according to me i did that, but when i came out i saw my room mate Jaspal giving me angry looks as if i just broke some age old house rules by taking a bath or what ! But i soon realised it was because the time in clock was 8.50 and Jaspal likes to reach office by 9-9.15 am Sharp, and since he had to wait for me ,i hadbroken his record of reaching office early and that was quite painful to him. I Quickly went to room and got ready and took my laptop and came rushing down to ground floor only to find Jassi more restless with every passing minute in the clock . However he was nice to me and prepared lunch for me and packed my tiffin , since it was my first day but warned me that it was for the first and the last time he did it for me . Finally we moved out of home and reached the bus stop , mind you we have to run to the bus stop everytime as the bus frequency is 20 minutes and its very frustrating to see the bus passing in front of your eyes and waiting for 20 minutes chilling in the cold was just unjustified and infact unbearable. Finally we got our bus and i asked the driver for a weekly pass and that cost me 16 pounds. Then we reached office and with all my nervousness i reached at the reception for my temporary card .The lady on the reception was quite generous and after enquiring my details with Dave Noxon (My line manager ) she gave me a temporary card for 15 days and Ientered the premises of Adastral park.Though it was a dream, but i could not feel that sizzling effect in body,some shiver down my spine , nothing like that happened , however i was still nervous . Then we reached office , i settled on my seat with my laptop switched on. After 5 minutes a white person nearly 6.1 in height doing complete justice to his wide body strcuture, as if a giant has come to conquer us appeared before me and then Ravish one of my colleagues introduced me to him
" Chris,This is Ankur .." And Chris Said- "Hello Anchor ( yes he pronounces my name like that only ! ) ,I am Chris Hamilton " And like a mannered person i said "Pleasure to meet you Chris" to which he sarcastly replied " Oh I guess you spoke that too soon , you should ask Jaspaul ( Jaspal's english version ) and Sameer how glad they feel when they see me :) " He cleared it to me that working with him was a no joke and no way an easy task.I took his words and started my work. It was a normal day and i realised the pressure of working with client was enormous , though a good experience at the same time , believe me no matter how educated you are but talking with an English person from UK understanding his accent is a big challenge and i took it and did pretty well at it when he asked me if i was staying with Jaspaul or alone , and if was through my jet lag and all. He really indeed is a giant but a very logical and staright forward person who just loves to work and you can feel it with every step he takes,the energy just oozes out of him. Though this may seem normal to some,but the astonishing part is he is 60+ person who stays alone ,not married, as the girl he loved died in an accident and he decided not to marry someone else, with all these in a person's history ,the passion that he exibits in his work is just amazing ! After all the day's work with little time to spare for lunch,hardly 15 minutes, we moved back to home and on my way back i realised this is not the thing want in my Life, coming to Onsite is not my destination,not my purpose of life... I Have some idea as to what it is,but don't yet have the courage to accept it......
