Filler post...

Scene 1:

Location: 3rd standard class room in a school.

Teacher: What is 2 plus 2?

Student: 5 miss

Teacher: What have you learnt so far? you can't remember even this? Imposition 2 table 5 times, tomorrow submit. Ok.

Student: Ok miss. Sorry miss.

Scene 2:

Location: Any corporate office.

Manager: I am having a small confusion in the excel sheet you updated.

Subordinate: Yes sir, what is it sir.

Manager: The estimate in this column is 4 and this is 5, this is sum of those two right, But why is it 9? It should be 10 right?

Subordinate:#$? Sir, 4 plus 5 is 9 sir.

Manager: (pause) Oh I see... Oh right I got confused with this row here and the one below.

Subordinate to himself: There is just one row in there...A$$????

Subordinate to manager: Oh... (nervous laugh)

Manager: You see that is why I always suggest to highlight the data to distinguish properly right, How will someone who doesn't know about the product find this out. You must always cover all possibilities right. Don't leave any loose ends. Right.

Subordinate: Yes sir, Sorry sir, I will make sure this does not happen again sir.

Scene 3:

Location: College Classroom.

Staff: Who can explain the working of Internal combustion engine?

No response from class

Staff: At least give a try.

Still no response.

Staff: How are you guys going to get a job and work tomorrow, if you cannot remember basic concepts. Students the corporate world is tough with lots of competition. You need to be best of the class to be on top of everyone else. So make sure, your fundamental knowledge is top notch.

Lots of nods.

Scene 4:

Location: Software Company.

Employee 1: Machi, what is that query to be run to generate this report?

Another employee answers.

Employee 1: Oh thanks da, hey which port is the database running?

Employee 2: Ennore port. If you can't remember these fundamental things how are you going to survive. The corporate world is tough with lots of competition. You need to be best of the class to be on top of everyone else. So make sure, your fundamental knowledge is top notch. (laughs) We nodded our heads in Ekambaram's class that day and I remember you even crammed everything that was thought till that day in a single night. And look where we are now...

Employee 1: Come on machi, we are working in cutting edge technology. (both laugh recollecting the pre placement talk given my HR)

Scene 5:

Group of College students chatting

S1: So the project deadline is next week, ena da panradu (what to do?)

S2: No way we can complete what we promised. Anda prof rakshasi vera savadipa (prof will show her demon face)

S3: As usual mandaya kila thonga potutu badil solama vandura vendidan. (we will count the ants in the floor and come back as usual)

S1: But what will we then show them at all? Documentation vera we have to get it ready. Plus project report binding, demo. Aapu di (decent way of saying you are screwed)

S2: Pathukalam da, ipo va kb la poi oru cold coffee adichitu coola vela pana arambikalam (big deal)

Scene 6:

IT company

E1: Dude, deadline is next week, there is not way we can meet it, even if we work this weekend.

E2: Chillax buddy, anyway our manager does not understand a crap. We will just tell him there is some complication, platform unavailability some bullshit.

E1: but he will say, he gave the deadline after discussing with us plus he will say automation is there and all that....

E2: Ya, so we have to listen to his 'wen i was in xxxx this is how blah blah ' crap yet again. Man am fed up of this. Ok anyway we have to face the music, so to compensate we will go have a pint tonight...

E1: Perfekkkt...
