“ Iss naukri mein na izzat hai, na mazaa hai aur na matlab (This job has neither respect nor fun nor meaning ) ," is what I told my mom , who happened to tell me about this job opening for fresh engineers in BSNL.

Side Note : Ok ok , that’s not what exactly what I told my maa , but this is what an angry Abhishek Bachhan also happened to tell his papa in Bunti and Babli :p

“ If your getting started on this Gov Of India buildings , work-culture , old un-professional staff rant , please leave me out of this ! “, grunted mom , who also happens to be a government employee.

“And besides , it’s the perfect jobs for girls these days “, quipped my neighbour , entering the conversation from the main door.

“You know these IT companies …make you slog like crazy .( No aunty , I didn’t know that ! ) No ghar ka khaana. Everything from cafeteria.Girls don’t cook also. How can a working girl , manage kids,do household work and manage if she works for twelve hours a day ? No 3 months paid maternity leave also ! Who’ll take care of husband ? Computer Science for girls is … Blah ….Blah”

And you can imagine the type of conversation that followed ! And I thought , we lived in a progressive society …phew !

Moral of stupid blog : BSNL is hiring !

Beware of neighbours straying closeby !

and yay …im blogging again ! hehehe…

Hi Jot!

As usual, i loved ur blog ...u really have a way with words!

And the part where you started on your neightbour took me back to my English Short Stories book - where the original conversation is that of a house wife surveying the 'girls these days', and is in hindi; but since you have to write it in English..there it is!!

Blog On!

You are absolutely Right about naukri in BSNL ... Being your senior I can give you some sort of advice...don't take the job if you have better options ... My dad has worked all his life for that stupid company and the only satisfaction is that of the "sarkaari nakuri" thingy, chauffer driven vehicles, angry remarks to customers, and for those who like to its spitting in the offices (ewww)...

Shyeah! You should have taken that naukri yaar!

Atleast that ways my BSNL ka internet line would have been fixed :(

We could have done some setting and maybe you could tweak my 256Kbps account to a 2Mbps account fukat mein!!! [wink, wink]

Saare sapno par paani pher diya!
Shyeah! :)
