Infosys
maatra sErbEDi….!!!
(huh ?!!??!)
Recently,
I was travelling in a bus with one of my friend. We were going to Majestic Bus
Stand for some work. We were seated in the last seat of the bus and were chit-chatting
about all of the topics we found to speak. An elderly man in his 40’s was seated in the
window seat next to us. This person happened to hear what we were speaking and
started conversation with us.
I found something
interesting in this conversation and thought of sharing it here. Our conversation
went as below :
Man : en
maaDkonDideera neevu? odtaa ideera?
We : odid
ella aytu. eega kelsak hOgta idivi.
Even
though we have 4+ yrs of experience in the IT industry, we didn’t want to
reveal all of those details to him. We just behaved like as if we had just come
out from college and just joined some job. (We look like that too ;) still
young you know :P)
Man : oh
en odideera? elli kelsa maaDtirOdu?
We : engineering
maaDidivi. ille ello ond chikka company nalli kelsa maaDtivi.
Man : oh
IT nalli ideera anni. hEgide IT?
We : hoon
houdu IT nalli idivi. Parvagilla naDita ide.
Man : naavella
aa kaaldalli odlilla. eegella odidre ne.
We : hmmmm
(adikke?? naav en maaDbEku??!!?)
Man : eshT
baratte nimge sambaLa?
(Why the
hell he’s asking that? Why people start asking salaries? That too strangers !@??!@
Anyways just starting bluffing to him.)
We : eno
baratte ondashTu. ond hanneraD-hadinaidu saavira baratte.
Man :
eshT varshdinda hOgtirOdu kelsakke?
We :
eegashTe college mugitu. ond naalak tingLinda hOgtidivi.
(We didn’t
want to reveal any ‘real’ thing to that person you know. Why should we tell all
details to a stranger ?! Better be safe.)
Man : Oooh…
bari naalak tingLu aagide sEri, hadinaidu saavira koDtaara sambaLa nimge??? :-O
(Should
have seen his expression, as if something big had happened. He continued.)
Man :
hadinaidu saavira tumba jasti aaytu alwa? eno ondu enTo-hatto saavira koTre
saaku nimgella.
(Who the
hell is he??)
We : hmmm…
eno koDta idaare. kelsa nu haage maaDskotaare.
Man : aduu
sari anni. houdu, yaav yaav company ge sErkobahudu? nam kaDE obru BCA maaDtidaare.
(yaav
yaav company ge nu? ondu salakke ondE company sErOk aagodu !!?!!)
We : yaavdadru
sErkobahudu. freshers ge ella onde. particular aagi bEku andre Infosysu, TCSu,
Wipro antaha kaDe sErkobahudu.
(Now
starts the real interesting discussion !!)
Man : enuuu??
Infosys aah?? ayyo saar, alli hOglebardu. neevu ashTe, alli sErokke maatra
hOgbEDi. ellig sEridru, Infosys maatra sErbEDi….!!!
I was
stunned when he told like this about Infosys. I was an Infoscion for 3.5 years
and it is really a great place to work with (though for few of the minus points
which every company has.) Though I didn’t want to have conversation with
strangers, I just wanted to know the reason behind him telling this statement.
So, continued the conversation with him.
Me : yaake
saar haag hELteera? eshTu doDDa company adu.
Man : ayyo
chennagilla saar aa company. tumba mOsa maaDtaare. yavag bEko avaaga kelasa dinda
tegedbiDtaare !!
(What the
hell ?! I have never seen Infosys firing its employees without having a very strong reason.
Even during recession, they don’t fire unlike other companies do.)
Me :
yavaag bEko aaga tegedbiDtaara? :-o
Man : Hoon
saar. kayyige ond aivattu saavirano, aravattu saavirano koTTu, hOgi manege anta
kaLsbiDtaare.
Me : yaar
saar heLid nimge? avru haagella maaDalvalla. (still continuing the conversation)
Man : yaar

ond aaru tingLu kooDa aagirlilla. paapa maneg kaLsbiTru. yaak sErskobEkittu
haag maaDodaadre?
(Now I came
to know the real reason behind him telling like that.)
Me : oh
haagaa vishaya? aaru tingLalle kaLsirtaare andre adu avru koDo training nalli
aa huDugi sariyaagi marks tegdiralla. sumsumne haagella tagiyalla aa company navru.
nam friendsella idaaralla alli, gottu namge.
(I still didn’t
reveal to him that I am an ex-Infoscion :D )
Man : oh
howda saar… namgen gottu saar haagella ide anta. avru hange hELidru namge.
naavu ade nija andkonDvi. So, haagadre sumsumne kelsdinda tegiyalla Infosys
navru?
Me : hoon
tegiyalla.
Man : neev
heLidde correctu saar .
(so soon
these people believe everything the other people say, whoever they are !)
Man : aa
huDugi obba poojaari magaLu. avLappa dEvasthaanadinda dinaa prasaada taroru.
adna tindu tindu chennag dappa aagidLu avLu. sakkattagi nidde bEre maaDtidLu. bahushaha,
neev heLdange training nalli kooDa nidde maaDtidLu ansatte. adke chennag
odilla. adke maneg hogamma anta kaLsbiTTavre.
(Wow !!
What a logic this person is telling ??!!!@@? Should bang our head
@@!!?><><)
We :
hehehehe irabahudu saar.
By now,
we were laughing among ourselves and thinking how funny this person’s thinking
is. Anyways, by then we had reached our stop. Without speaking another word, we
just went away from his sight.
Generally
speaking, people have lot of misconceptions about every matter which they do
not know about entirely. In this case, this person was a layman about the IT
industry and just believed what other persons said to him. Another misconception
that he had was about the girl whom he was speaking about.
The
confidence level he showed in him, when he told me not to join Infosys, was
what made me to think this is something interesting and should write in my
blog. You can share your thoughts on this :-)
