A Y Generation Love Story - Chapter 13
Chennai was flooded. Sati and dhivya was getting ready for their office.
"Whole Chennai is getting holiday, we have to be there to please our client and finish our project . "Dad was screaming to quit this job" dhivya told.
They had no share auto that day , they had to walk in hip level water and reach the busstop then take the bus .
Shiv and Xavier were in their shorts . They had an argument with the head of security for being in un-presentable manner
"What the hell is this ? Life sucks" Xavier said .
"Dude just stop it will you , if you are not feeling good about software field why don't you just quit ?"shiv asked .
"Well I can't . I need a goddamn job . I need respect in this society . I need money bro . People will never respect me if I discover something . I will earn that social status only if I earn 30k plus" Xavier said .
"Calm down sweetheart" dhivya said .
"Yeah I am just a backbone less fellow, no matter how they treat me , what they demand from me , how uncertain my future is , I must act cool right ? " Xavier said .
"Xavier you should not be angry just for a rain. As shiv said you must quit or work without complaining . No point in just shouting inside our cabin" sati told .
Xavier didn't talk for a while .
"You okay now ?" Shiv asked .
"Do you know the CEO's name of the concern we work for ?" Xavier asked .
"Dude , chillax , what's wrong with you today ?" Shiv asked .
"All three of you tell me , do you know the name ? Do you know whether all our finished projects are put into operations or sold at a higher price for some other concern ? When was the last time you spent time with your non software friends ? When was the last time you actually felt satisfied with your job ? Professional ethics ? So we have to do everything they ask . Call our seniors by name , eat some pizza , drink coke and talk English wow you guys are westernized ! Will that change the fact that once we get kicked out of this company you can't go to France or America . You have to go for a smaller concern , steal the job from the guy or girl just because their English is rusty ?"Xavier couldn't be stopped .
As no one replied, he continued .
" I respect this job, it gives my bread and butter but is that all ? Do you know the name of the external affairs minister ? Who is the district collector ? When was the last time you read a book or watched a movie for the awesomeness of the making of that movie ? Don't you think our whole generation is being made slaves in the name of IT companies ? And how long you think he is going to keep you in this job ? I never saw some sixty year old fellow as a software programmer ? Have you guys thought about life after 40 ? Well for example if shiv and sati gets married , at the age of 30 your total income will be around one lakh . If sati gives up her job after wedding , your family must be run in exactly half the money , your children's education your retirement , other commitments . And note this point I didn't bring both of your parents into the screen . If they go bed ridden in their old age , add their medical expenses"
No one spoke still . Xavier went away from their table .
"He voiced our fears " shiv said .
"You know we are not quitting this job , how can we do something productive ?"dhivya asked .
"May be finish the project on time" their team leader moorthy came there .
"Is there no solution to what Xavier said ?" Sati asked moorthy .
"Not that I can think of , get promoted , earn as much as possible before you are kicked out , that's the only practical way I see" Moorthy said .
"Don't worry , we have a weekend outing and party on Saturday , Xavier will forget all bull he said , he will be saying software is the best thing happened to him " Moorthy tried to lighten the mood .
Will he forget ? Will everyone forget everything and go behind money ?
Well we are Indians .
Life is beautiful,
With love ,
