This time of the year is always close to most of the engineers heart as many adventurous and sensational (yes ,even more than Delhi marriages ) events are planned  based on an email in inbox. It reads something like “Yet again,we are happy to compensate for the aimless and thought suppressing hours of your otherwise overvalued life which you have put into our money making endeavors”.This memorable moment decides if you are lucky to spend another year at the mercy of brokers and with room mates where you drink whenever you are hungry .

This event of the year becomes bigger that annual budget session as people back home(obviously relatives join them too) are already celebrating the higher chances of going to trade fair in a four wheeler next year.Lucky ones start referring budget cut guide issued by publishers working out of Chambal and end up reading about Paan Singh Tomar.All of a sudden they start believing in that vengeful notion “You deserve much more than that and if they don’t value your never dying spirit of running the same tests again and expecting them to pass.Screw em” .

All of a sudden people realize that its 10 AM and  they are well short of their weekly target of 50 Hrs because their machines were found idle during work hours(yes, machines we call brains and they can monitor that too if its review time) and then the great migration starts towards the pilgrimage named Systematic Erosion Zone of every metro city .Every person becomes an ICBM ready to take down the empire of their project manager who is working from timezone lost with igbo tribes.

Day starts and two young and energetic guys strike up a conversation about what companies consider highly classified , their salary reviews.

Srini: Dude its over.They are going down.What do you think?

Abhishek: Nothing can save them.Don’t know why they want people to leave even when we are paying homage everyday.

Srini: I was just waiting for this day and now I should plan my move.How’s the market doing these days? Once I am gone I would launch a anti-recruitment drive against them and create awareness among people not to even take their call or ask for so much money that their stock crashes.

And while emotions were flowing incessantly, so was time. To their utter surprise ,every one they thought share their pain moved on to their daily dose of angry birds.With lots of pain and suffering in their mind,they start walking towards their desk to see a greeting card and flowers from a  lovely lady Srini always wanted to be with and then the phone never stop ringing,”Its your birthday dude”.This day (specially if you are in some IT office) has some intergalactic power to help you forget anything.Then the days pass by and  Srini and Abhishek are standing right next to the same coffee machine and this day has arrived again.

Srini: Dude its over.They are going down.What do you think?

After all ,when the sun goes down all your friends are concerned about only one thing,”lets go celebrate”.

Cheers!!
