never out of college...

Now this one I was intending to write since quite some time.. How engineers almost never live out the college type lifestyle.. not necessarily true for all but quite a few of them..

Recently we had a whole lot of freshers who got recruited and had come to our office to find out their respective projects and office locations..Every where they were spotted in the groups and discussing something of prime importance.. canteen or in lobby..

Boys though looked like just out of school types seemed to try and hide their child like looks by wearing ties. :).. and few girls looked so petite that it seemed that they had recently got out of their teens, with their braces off the teeth recently..

No matter how hard these boys and girls tried to look professional that childish look still emerged.. looked funny and reminded me of beginning of my professional life..

the haversacks may be replaced by rich office handbag.. but in months to come by with experience in the professional world building, the haversacks will be out from their closet and used again...
engineers will be engineers.. !! :)

'Snoring' Cold :)

Real funny conversation happens between my colleague and me two - three days back..
C is down with cold..running nose and tears to support the proof of cold..she has been using her handkerchief often to wipe of the running nose.. to someone who just looks at C for a moment may feel that C has been crying..but thats how C catches cold and displays its symptoms..
So at the end of day C informs her colleague that she would leave for the day..

C: V, is there something else to look at
V: No
C: in that case, I will leave.. as I am down with cold ( as if it was not apparent :) )
V: o yeah, u can leave... I can see you have been snoring the whole day..
C: A little shocked to hear and cant control her laugher.. says again , since I am down with cold and eyes are also watering..
V: yeah yeah .. i know you have been snoring the whole day..
C: now cant stop laughing, rectifies V that C has been 'sneezing'..and not 'snoring'...
Funny the incident was that C laughed on it the whole of her return journey back home :)
