The life post-ADMIS..
It all started around three months back, sometime during the month of May. I had taken up a sales job at Infomedia 18 Ltd, which was not the wisest decision of my life. I slogged my ass off there for nearly a month. Not to mention, I got the company some business, too. One fine day, I came back home cursing my job, the rains, the traffic, the customers, my boss, some tall guy on a bike with his girlfriend and pretty much everything that I could see, hear or smell. While surfing through the internet, I came across a job opening which seemed to suit my interests. It was an editing job. It didn't have much in it for me in terms of money, but it sure as hell seemed a lot better than the cruel world of sales that I was living in back then. Following a phone call that evening, I got myself an interview the very next day. After four endless hours, I was told that I had been hired. I joined the company in just three days as I had no intention of wasting any time. However, as a result of putting down my papers without a 15-day notice, those bastards at my previous job didn't pay me a single dime. In fact, I'm still trying to squeeze something out of them.
I've been at my new job for a little over a month now. I seem to have settled in nicely. The money is not great, but it's enough to survive for sometime, while I get some work experience.
Things haven't been too bad on the personal front either. Sid has always been around to cheer me up on weekends, with a little help from alcohol. Farzana is having her own set of problems which I haven't been able to discuss with her since the past month or so. Prachi is nowhere in the picture. Shweta does not pick up my calls. Ashu has landed a great job in Delhi and doesn't seem to be in the mood to step foot in Mumbai anytime soon. I miss him the most from ADMIS. Harsh got a new job at 'Just Dial', which ironically is the most formidable competitor of the previous organization I worked for. Priya is also at her job and is doing well so far. Then we have Namrata and Reenav working at that media company, and from the looks of their posts of FB, it seems like they're really having a ball down there. King Kenneth has been busy doing sales in a thermacol company and from what I hear, he's been doing quite well so far. Ameya has finally admitted that he's in love with Debanjali and that they are, indeed, a couple. He's now working for a division of Deutsche Bank, earning a pretty penny every month. I think it is 6.5 lacs p.a. if I'm not wrong. Vasu is stuck in a logistics' profile which he absolutely abhors. Santosh got a job in a bank. So all the hard work put in for all those bank exams finally paid off, so to speak.
Naveen was giving some exams a couple of months back. I've now forgotten which ones they were. The man gives too many exams, it's hard to keep a track. The last time I met Kunal was at Sid's cousin, Akshay's house, for a night out, where he almost cried. Now, the only saving grace of that evening was the alcohol and the jokes that all of us cracked about Kunal's hand that was going to be utilized in more than one way for some ad commercial. I believe he also mentioned that the hand would be used in 18 different positions. Now, it was funny enough, but the alcohol made it hilarious.
Well, that brings us to yours truly again. Life post-ADMIS. It has been a mixed bag of sorts. In some ways I miss it, in some ways I don't. Life has slowed down a lot now, or may be it has just sped up. Because nowadays, I don't realize when my day starts and when it ends. Anyway, who knows what's in store next? But one thing is for sure. Whatever happens henceforth, whether good or bad, the rum will always be there to do its job. Sing along mateys... We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs... Drink up me 'earties yo-ho..!
