The Memory Ocean-Chapter Five
CHAPTER FIVE
Akshay was checking some bank entries.He was trying hard to find out what went wrong and why the bank accounts were not tallying.His colleagues were near him.There were about 5 of them.All were staring at him.
Akshay saw the looks on his colleagues face.One of his immediate boss spoke up,"hey akshay, why you did not let us know that today is ur birthday? We somehow got the information frm Narashimhan". Narashimhan was very helpful for Akshay to get that present job.
Akshay told, " Oh yeah, Sorry sir, i was not in mood really to celebrate my birthday."
"What no mood? Are you getting mood-off just because the bank accounts are not tallying.Cheer up man"
"No sir, its not a problem.My father had passed away exactly on my brother's birthday and today i did my father's 6th month ritual at home.So, i dont feel like celebrating my birthday."
The colleagues consoled him and gone back to their seats.
The evening he went to a net cafe to check up his mails since he did not hav the internet facility at his office.He opened his yahoo mail account.Inbox showed 7 new mails.
He had got greetings frm a lot of friends. But the 5th mail had made him jump up to the sky.It was a greeting from Sandhya. The subject in the greeting read,
Hi Akshay,
Belated Happy Birthday Wishes to u !!!
I think, i missed ur birthday .. Hope it was fine.
Take care,
Cheers,Sandhya.
For that, Akshay replied,
Hi Sandhya,
Thanx for ur Timely wish.U did not miss my birthday.Today only is my birthday.U missed to remember the date , i guess.
Thanx once again.Luv,Akshay.
Sometimes, he used to call her when he was free..Sandhya was in her final year of college.. so, she was having her study holidays then.So, she had remained at home.Most probably, she attended all his calls.But, sometimes her sister used to attend akshay's calls as well.So, her sister Nandini could able to know about him tooo.But, she thought that he was one of her sister's nice friends.
After 3 months Sandhya successfully completed her B.Sc degree and was searching for job.
Akshay was happy in that company.Everyone was impressed by his attitude, behaviour & talent.So, they all were very kind to him.After completing seven months of his tenure there, he got a hike.He was feeling very happy about the fact that his work got recognised by the company.
But, the real problem started after that.The company had some strict rules, by which every person on roll must be cut a certain percentage towards their ESI & EPF.The policy was perfect, he thought.But, Akshay was also thinking in a different angle.The EPF is going to be helpful only he becomes old or he puts up some experience in that company.He knew the day he joined in that company that he wud b there until he earns some nice exposure & experience.So, he thought it was hightime something had to be done about it.His family was in need of any money which would help them come up.He did not intend to lose even the EPF amount.
He can't Change the company's policies, But he can always change the company.
A Sunday Magazine's Classifieds column read "Wanted Financial Transaction Executives, Graduates with/without experience, good communication skills, computer knowledge....................................Walk-in for an interview today 3.00pm at .................."
He was moved by that advertisement.He had attended only one interview before that of the Fashionplus.So, he thought he lacked the experience to attend interviews.So, he thought that he shud try this one out to get some experience.
He attended the interview that afternoon.There was an Aptitude Test which he cleared before all the guys in the room.Then they made all the candidates to appear for a Typing skills test and he was right on top with 75 words per min.At last, there was the personal interview.Akshay had wished that he should appear for a personal interview.
The Interviewer was different from his financial controller in his current employment.This time it was more professional.Being an MNC, the company required everything to ensure its quality even at the time of interview.Though the place of interview & the interviewer were different in their attitude, the result was no different.He got selected for the job.The salary was 30% more than wat he had been earning in Fashionplus.Also, there were no benefits like EPF, ESI etc until the first year ends."Those are benefits for just the other ppl." Akshay thought.
He was asked to join exactly on the third day.Or if he cud not relieve himself frm the company he had been working, they asked him to join with the next batch which would possibly commence after one month.So, effectively he had only one day in between.Akshay wanted to try his own luck.My luck should favour me, he thought.
The next day, He had gone straight to his financial controller.He told him about his new job.He first was not impressed by that.He was not ready to let him go.But, he had a friend in the company where Akshay had got job.He made sure that the company is doing well.And then he spoke up."Akshay, We were really pleased about your job & ur talent.We would never allow u to go out of us.But, the reason you told was agreeable.We are not in a position to give you a hike right now to help u nor we hav any idea about changing our company's policies.So, we would welcome your way of doing things.All the very best for ur new job & hope u shud make urself proud there also."
That evening his financial Controller had asked all the colleagues to attend a farewell party for Akshay. It was an emotional moment in Akshay's life.He could know how much everyone loved him in his office.For a second he thought "should i leave this office???" But, he realised... he had no other go. He was presented with a Parker pen.He thought he had got a value for his work now.
Two days later,he joined in the new job.The nameboard of the company read "Pro-Vision HealthServices Pvt.Ltd".
He met the Receptionist and he was asked to wait until any news from the HR department.There were about 18-20 guys & girls in his batch of employees.They had said, there would be training before the employees might get into the real-time work.Akshay introduced himself to some of the others who had been recruited.
When he had been waiting in the reception, he could see some of the guys & girls of the batch prior to his batch coming.Now, suddenly Akshay's heart became warm & happy.He could not believe his luck.He had rub his eyes to believe that it was HER. He made that sure now.It was Sandhya.
Since there had been no contact with Sandhya for months, he could not get any information about her job.
She saw Akshay sitting there.She immediately came to his side and said a big Hi.He was stunned to hav seen her in that place.The very thought about Sandhya made him happy.Akshay thought something good is going to happen.
