Adorkable Nair ~Chapter 1 (Induction field trips)

                                      the induction

~field trips~ to begin with -

D' Boss believes "jo shuru shuru mei ragadta hei vohee heera banta hei"... (ie; agar ragad ragad ke choora na ban gaye ho tho ~as per d stats formulae "gy = agb + (l-a) gk + q" *** , the cream who makes it .)

Every MT in the hystory of corporate world LOVE it  (like HATE it ) ~(in brackets offcourse ) and every love-hate relationship starts with a honeymoon period (tradition u know.. cant break it people)...inductions are no different .. the ***The Four" R's "  of managing this cimportant phase are as follows

(i) Every one puts up their fakest best or may be the bestest fake ~ its all cosmetic

(ii) Everyone asks the right questions~ usuallly to show off all the useless/ antediluvian /impractial/inoperable concepts and jargons that one picks up at college (canteens) lectures (gyans)..~ all in d endeavor of emanating the right chemistry/signals

(iii) Everyone makes the right noices ~ even if u dont get it ~FAKE IT~

(iv) Be it at In-laws or be it at the new office ~ cement the right relationships with the right people ~ u gotta make ur network map for survival
+++++++++++++++++++

Its not for no reason that the mallu land has the highest literacy rate ~ Candidates like Adorkable Nairs are the ambassadors of this land ~living up to it whole heartedly every minute~ when it comes to ennnnnnny Theaorrryy _ they can bloody mug it up*** (refer notes at d end for the secret potion)... when it comes to Execution ..


Execution  =     first discuss/debate/research/validate + unionise to thozhilali union/INTUC/politicise
                       _______________________________________________________________
                           Apply it when u get time from the unending lifting-folding-unfolding-liftin... of lungi

Adorkable Nair

A mallu "Yem Bee Yea " steps into the corporate world , aspiring to prove his mettle and carve a space of his own~
By the grace of Guruvayurappan and  the glowing academic track record to back him ( he came an auspicious 51st in the class) Nair has landed the best job in the campus .

Theres been a buzz in the air in the office  that's been getting louder  by the day~office intranet social groups been raving about the new genius in town...
the office politics and boss bashing have nearly disappeared from the smoking zone's gossip charts , only to be replaced by the quirky antics of Mr. Adorkable Nair.

Story of inspector clouseau ( of the pink panther fame ) is an amateur when compared to the fumbling journey of Mr. adorkable Nair through the corporate world where he tries to be in control while in reality is magnificently clueless about whats happening around him...He is like the Adrian Mole in his perfect combination of vanity, pathos and super-duper silliness.

From the day zero at office of mistaking the first call from his Boss to be from some collection agent  to  walking into his first meeting dressed up for a party (he thought "invites" usually are meant for parties, formal meetings are on "appointments") to the vows of "sisterhood" with lady colleagues ( brotherhood for boys~ sisterhood with girls ~ people who are raising their eyebrows phew ! go get a life people~ it was all in the right spirit~6 large vodkas when he stopped counting )...Protagonist - adorkable Nair has been living it up on a fast lane much to the amusement of people around...

To keep reading the whacked out day to day adventure stories of Adorkable Nair keep coming back to this space ~

JLT

From where the assortment of all silliness begins...

Born as the only child into a mallu family based out of Orissa, grew up in the steel township of Rourkela amongst people from literally all parts of the country. Childhood spent on heavy dope of sports representing my school, “SAIL” where my father worked and  Orissa the state I lived~ in three major sports cricket, football and table tennis .While juggling between studies and sports theatre helped me to release the pressure and keep myself amused with living different characters on the stage.

Left home at 18 to do my college and since then have been on the move. Since then have lived in Chennai, pondy, Mysore, Hyd, Bangalore, Gujarat, Delhi and now excitedly exploring Maharashtra n goa.

Family comprises of my parents from whom I still draw my inspiration and energy, are also the source of all the confused “orthodox mallu born n brought up in north syndrome”..

A very loving, understanding and full of life better half "V" , born to Tallu Parents in Punjab and brought up in all over the country owing to Father’s Airforce background  brings in  just about the right mix of “paradox of mixed upbringing”  adding color to the never ending theatre @ home..

Our highly inquisitive, super hyper, pink color obsessed  Barbie swearing angel daughter "A" who’s really challenged and helped me to look at a fresh perspective of everything around.Poor things been confused about which language to follow in general owing to the cross breed culture that she represents of the new age India…( Im told a common syndrome amongst the cross breed kids in general )

And now a chilled out son "D" who’s busy sorting out the new world (read eccentric family ) he’s stepped into in 2011...

To keep myself sane , alive n kicking in between all the work pressure I try my best and take out time to do a bit of photography, reading, watch sports and when I really have time on hand once in a while try expressing myself by penning down a few lines.

This is where the assortment of all the silliness begin …
