Poor IT guy

After lots of meet ups with non-IT friends, relatives, strangers etc, you


will notice that the moment you say that you are an IT guy, they have

already made some assumptions about you.



Myth #1: If you haven't been onsite ...u are a loser

Uncle: "Tum 3 saal se IT company mein kaam kar rahe ho na?"

Me: "Haan uncle ......bas ....."

Uncle: "Tum videsh nahi gaye?"

Me: "Nahi uncle project mein requirement nahi hai onsite kaa"

Uncle: "Lekin woh deepak ko toh maanna padegaa.... vo chote sheher se hai.....bade college se nahi hai ...fir bhi usne jamke mehnat ki aur usse company ne USA bheja!"



Aaaha! thats the problem. People think that the smarty pants are sent on

site while the loser ones are the people left behind in India. So the

assumption is that if you haven't been on site then you don't work hard nor

you have any sincerity and... ok that's enough for now.













Myth #2:If you are not in the biggies..u are a loser

Auntyji: "Beta, kaunsa company?"... ..."Kabhi suna nahi"....."Kaha hai ye?"

Auntyji: "Tumko Info*** mein nahi mila kya?" (in short: "tum second grade gadha lagte ho")



Then I have to make efforts to tell them how I actually work in a much

niche technology. In case the opposite person is technologically sane then

I give him some product development 'funda' (arrogance).







Myth #3: You can fix any computer..and calculator and may be clocks too

Most of the computer engineers around must have at least once gone to a

friend's place only to fix his /her comp. The task can be from installing a

software (next..next. . finish) to fixing a computer which gives electric

shocks when its metal areas are touched.







Myth #4: You have lots of money

Once I met up with my friends from school ...from various fields. I just

mentioned that it is such a pain to go to office nowadays and said that I

wanted to buy a car.

Friend1: "what problem do u have man .. u are an IT waala"

Friend2: "Tu toh Honda CRV le saktaa hai"

Me: "CRV!! aabey CRV kyaa mere pass VCR lene ka paisa nahi hai"

Even after 5 minutes of convincing them weren't getting convinced.











Myth #5:

Coding means sitting in front of the computer During my college days , my classmate had an encounter with a guy from mechanical dept:

Mech guy: "Your Computer engineering is a big nautanki.... four years You learn the same grey dabba... and all you ppl do is sit nicely in front Of that dabba and punch the keys"



Well I don't completely disagree







Myth #6:

One more thing which oldies say : " Now you work in such a big company ,

you are settled , you should marry now !! " OMG this salary is not enough

for one poor soul.. how to handle two ???







Myth #7:

In Diwali...u get questions like......"Are you gonna get a bonus this

Diwali.....? ?" And when we reply in the negative.... .they seem so

surprised... !!!!!!!







Myth #8: A common issue that I have seen:

When I tell anybody that I work with C**, many times I get a reply "My

son/daughter/ relative Mr/Ms XXX also works with C**. You must be knowing

him/her" and if I answer in the negative, they feel disappointed (they

think.....may b nobody wants to knows me).

How to explain to them that there are around thousands of employees in my

company, and I cannot know everybody in my ODC, forget about knowing

everybody in the company. L LoLzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ....









Add ons:

#How many times do you face this question

"What does your company make...???"

Very logical question but.....How do you answer this one?

* How girls use guys * with examples :)

Girls' relationship with guys is a bigger mystery than girls themselves. It's not just about boyfriends, we're talking about guy friends that gals have.

Do you have a gal who is just a friend? Are you confused why the frequency of calls increases as exams come closer? Or why she always hangs around with the moron who isn't fit to wear Jeetendra's white shoes? Here's a ready reckoner for you:



* % just a friend % *
Well, you are like a show piece in my house. I will call you whenever I need you. If you call me home the chances are 9 out of 10 times she might say, "Oh Rahul, I am going out can you call me after 2 days??"

Rahul: "Where are you going Sanjana??"
Sanjana: "None of your business" and bangs the phone.(Useless fellow.Hmmph!).



* % Good Friend % *
You are like a TV remote control. I need you and I know that but I try using you when I really need you.

Rahul calls: "Hi Sanjana",
Sanjana: "Hi Rahul. I am going out with family I will call you back. Bye"

(Sanjana eventually calls back after two days)
Sanjana: "What do you want Rahul? Why did you call that day?".
Rahul: "Generally".

Sanjana: "Oh ok. I got to go out. Will call you later. Bye."
Will call when she needs lecture notes or some concert tickets.



* % Very good friend % *
Well you are like the pressure cooker safety value for the girl, she will need you when she wants to bring out her pain or anger on someone. Basically, she wants to talk to you and you are special to her.

Sanjana: "You know Rahul, Shekhar is not eating. He doesn't sleep and is not able to concentrate on his studies. I think he doesn't like me anymore and yesterday I saw him with another girl".
Rahul: "Who is Shekhar??"

Sanjana : "My boyfriend."
Rahul: Oh! ok. :-(



* % Best Friend % *
You are like the auto rickshaw driver. She can't live without you and don't be mistaken, You are not her boyfriend. But you are allowed to take her little doggie around the park so that he (not you!) can have fun.

Rahul Shopping. Rahul Movie. Rahul Coffee Rahul, you pay. I am having fun.

Rahul is now sure that he should go ahead and propose. He dares.
Sanjana: "But I thought we were just friends. We should remain friends

Rahul. Plus, I have a boy friend you know that."
Rahul: What?? (Rahul drinks all night).



* % Best of the Bestest Friends % *
Ok now you are really special, You are dad-cum-boyfriend- cum-brother- cum-everything, Ultimately you are the darling servant of the girl.

You take her around.
You make her project.
You do her assignments.
You are allowed to take her doggie around.
You can hold hands on the beach.
You can see the sun set with her (because she wants to do everything she drags you along).
But but but... don't be mistaken. She has a boyfriend who works for a huge software company and earns 5 times the salary you earn and has a posh flat in an up class area.

Sanjana: "Hi Rahul. I am getting engaged to Shekhar. Shekhar this is Rahul, he is my bestest friend".

Rahul: Hi Shekhar . (Hand shake. Shekhar breaks Rahul's wrist).
Rahul is now heart broken and wrist broken.



* % Boyfriend %*
Uh... No comments dude. You're already Gone!

For all Rahul type guys? Make sure that you tell Sanjana about Mamta and about Maya? and about Tina also?

This will open Sanjana's eyes!!!!



Send it to boys to improve their Knowledge bank :)

Send it to girls who want to live in reality :)

Tit for tat

A very shy young man goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting alone.


After an hour he gathers enough courage to go and ask her,

"Er... Excuse me, but would you mind if I sat here beside you?"


She responds in a loud voice :

" NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!"


Everyone in the bar turns to stare at them.


The young man is surprised, shocked and embarrassed and goes back to his table.


After a few minutes the woman walks over to him smiles, apologizes,

and says, "You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and

I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."


The young man responds loudly with,

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FIVE THOUSAND RUPEES. THATS TOO MUCH !"
