Yana ka gaana nahi chahiye! Aseem N wrote this at 11:55 pm • Filed under General •

Venue: Canteen of one of India’s Biggest Software Companies

Time: Tea break (Officially anytime between lunch to dinner)

Scene: A beautiful HR executive is sipping her tea while giving a frustrated look to a Yana Gupta song being shown on News 24 (Newly joined the league and has undoubtedly lived upto the reputation of over-exaggerated hindi news channels). No mention required of those frustrated IT coolies sitting around and watching the television with utmost concentration [:p] (Very precisely their only source of entertainment).

Act: The beautiful HR executive yells (I am unsure of what to highlight – beautiful or yells [;-)])… from a distance, at the canteen incharge… with a strong voice just like one of those mahila mandal’s morcha leads… “Humein Yana ka gaana nahi chahiye!!!”. Oh did that rhyme? Seeing the canteen guy perplexed who is busy giving food coupons for cash, she says it again to make her point.

“Yana ka gaana nahi chahiye!”.

“Professional environment rakho. Koi achcha News Channel lagao”.

Nobody would have refused to such a beautiful lady’s humble yet “intervening” request. But this time it was probably the authority in her voice and position(ofcourse!) that made the canteen head change the channel. And while he did that, a sequence of Kareena Kapoor’s latest movie Tashan plays. She(The beautiful HR) looks at the TV screen with all the more disgust. And then looks back at all the employees lost in watching Kareena’s super toned figure… She(The beautiful HR… ok sorry wont do this again [:p]) seems all the more upset with something…probably the employee culture going down the line which she had to do something about…! Probably!

And suddenly it’s NDTV… back to business… back to serious news… employees stare into their plates for a couple of seconds only to realise that they were here to finish something. They still didn’t have a clue of what happened. She walks out of the canteen with immense satisfaction of setting the professional mood she was probably looking out for.

Can you simply swear at your HR and get away? NO (without giving it a thought). So you better get done with your tea break.

Oops…

“Chhaliya chhaliya chhaliya… Ruh churalo mein hu aisi chhaliya…”

Eyes pop out, jaws drop, tongues hang out (well… ok…not exactly…[:p])… canteen fella smiles to himself… and the tea time extends again… [:)].

Conclusion: (Pick your choice)

1. Food in canteens of software companies tastes great!
2. Beautiful girls hate others watching other beautiful girls [:p]. - “How mean!!!”
