I know i will get weired comments from my friends after they read this,but tis has to be written. The talk of ta circle these days revolves around only a few questions , when will TCS give us the joining, what will be ta place, did they not cheat us with the PRE-ILP and blah blah blah........tese questions keep haunting me all the time...but today i saw a differnt light to it.this deffered joining may have made me an unemployed youth for the past 6 months,while my friends at infosys have had got their 5th salary. But it also also given me a feel of what i could have never done in my entire lifetime had a joining come early.
TCS has given me a chance to do things which i had only dreamt of as a child. Never ever had i thought that i would go for a bykin trip tat was as long as 772 kms long just to meet a friend. I had seen many balijatra's but had never got a chance to see it for all the 7 days, believe me i did it tis year. i had seen ta dusheera in katak for years now, but i had never moved around till it was 3'o clock in the morning, had seen ta "dussera bhasani" and ta "kali puja bhasani" but never had i moved into ta procession to dance to ta tunes of ta mystical drums and ta hip hoopin telegu n oriya songs.had seen a few movies in ta theaters of katak but never had i been into ta craze of seenin every movie ta is put up "first day first show" in halls tat dont hav AC , ta sound system is horrible and ta print as padhi says is "hall print".i come out of every bad movie session sayin "thik hey yaar next movie acha hoga".i had only heard tat a man called raghu is ta best in ta business wen it comes to dahibara in katak, but in tese few days i got a chance to visit him too gobblin his "aludam dahibara" everyday and appreciating it everytime. after months and months of rigorous eat outs with my friends now i can tell u which place to look upto in katak which serves ta best "bara" , ta best "piazi",ta best "chat", or ta best soup. i can now tell u that ta omlette in alisha bazar is ta best, ta biriyani at "khandei", ta soup at college square n ta "bara" "piazi" at dolmundai..
This break from TCS has made me feel more "kataki" than i had ever felt over ta years. i had only heard that katak is ta place of "baaban bazar and teepan gali" (a city havin 52 markets and 53 lanes).but know i have seen them all, infact discovered them all.This deferred joinin has made me discover my home town in a way tat i could have never done had it been an early joinin. so a big thanks to ta concerned authorities..

ReplyDeleteit is the height of optimism.....when everyone is waiting for that elusive call from TCS.....you scripted these lines.....its really wonderful....
ReplyDeletebut that doesnt mean our war of words for the better city between rkl n ctc ends(even though i always used to lose)..... hahaha
You are right my friend...The Balijatras,The Dusherras,The Kali Pujas, The Bhasani's, The Aludam dahibaras, The Gupchups, The Chats of ctc are uncomparable....There is no place on mother earth which can even come closer to Cuttack...It is everything to us katakis(and we are proud of it).....Mark my words you are definitely going to miss it a lot when you stay away from it for months and years as you will be joining a MNC and may be leaving the place....I live with simiilar feelings away from my CUTTACK.
ReplyDeleteReally ur a param katakia
