Udai, is a very smart and likeable guy.When Kosal and I werent there,thanks to a sudden resignation of an employee in Digital Media team, the three interns, then ,had to handle the work. Vishnu and Prachi were too busy in the 10min work they took all day to complete, and thats when Udai stepped in and delivered. Everyone says , he might just be the first intern ever to get a PPO, pre placement offer for the uninformed. Atleast we three were very friendly with each other and shared happily each other's work, a healthy environment to work I would say.
When Mr Nakul, the weirdo left , I shifted to his position ie.between Mr Kaushal and the happy bong.
Mr Kaushal Dhingra, is a very healthy( "look who is talking ",anyone????) Punjabi who likes his aaloo ka paranthas with loads of ghee.When he came to know that I live enroute , he offerd me a lift from ITO ,some 10 min from our place. He is a little fucked up when it comes to technical things.I had to write down the "Steps to follow" for posting a scrap on Orkut. I am tempted to write the steps down here, seriously it would make a hilarious reading, but he has been so good to me so I would refrain from making him the laughing stock.
The happy bong is very humorous. Being the only Graphics designer in the office, he usually very busy before events like the T20 World Cup which was round the corner. So obviously he was very busy. He is very funny, seriously. Even jokes that class3 kids say, evoke such a response when he says them. He is witty and a very popular guy in the office. People say, those who speak much are "dil ka saaf". This is where it changes and the myth of "dil ka saaf", gives way to a slimy, witty ,funny bastards that he is.
Shrikanth and Indranil are not in very good terms. Indraneel is his boss, so obviously he wins the arguments. I am a little biased towards Shrikanth , I agree, but then I haven't seen him doing anything wrong to anybody so far. He is so patient with everyone and when he saw me reading a "How to make a business Plan" thingy, he took me to his workstation and taught me everything. I dont know if he is a good employee or a smart corporate , but he is very decent for sure and if I have to take sides I'll definitely be on his.
Pre World Cup , saw very hectic times. I started staying at the office late hours. I didnt mind it actually because I was working and staying late for work also earned me a free dinner and a ride back home in a chauffeur driven AirConditioned car, a better mode of transport than DTC anyday.
Now group discussions between the happy bong, Indraneel and Shrikanth were usually aggresive. Our team being the only tean that stayed so late, they had the priviledge of having loud discussions without anyone knowing about the rifts.
Mr Indraneel shifted close to our workstation for some days because of obvious reasons. He could get his work done as and when it came.Now Shrikanth sits at a distance.
It is here that I came to know about office politics and the legend of funny bastard was getting clearer.
I would like to think I am a good friend. Shrikanth and the happy bong were very good friends. When our profs scolds or speaks against my friends I feel my defending my friend is my duty. Happy Bong added more masala to it.
He would say a little something, that does not qualify as speaking "against" him but does the damage anyways.
for example if something hasnt been done and Shrikanth could not get the production team to speak, Indranil would get very angry and say something ,which is understood. The happy bong would say something like ," Bechaara bahut rude hai yeh , isliye koi iski baat nahi maanta", almost as if he is so sad that Shrikanth isnt good at getting work done.
When Soumya said that she is a Tangerine employee posted at ESPN, but all her interview and recruitment was done by Indraneel, he said... "Tu employee nahi hai ESPN ki, tereko Tangerine ka experience milega, jahaan jayegi ESPN ka brand nahi milega"....Obviously this got her worried and she asked Indraneel about it. Indraneel is not a very patient listener, he went offfensive. The happy bong ,was giggling when she got the scolding.So now he isnt Happy Bong anymore , he is the Funny bastard
