Fresh grads in office....
There is this bunch of new freshers/just out of college kids(ya, i call them kids because i feel very old already ;)) in office. I tell you, how much i envy their enthusiasm, energy and excitement!!! They are almost 30 in number and they are scattered in groups everywhere, chit chatting in lobby, in cafeteria, near their cubicles n almost everywhere. They have this zeal in their eyes like they have accomplished a high profile software job in this prestigious multi national compnay which pays much more than they would have wished for and looking forward to be applying all those skills learnt in college at work!! They come out of some basic networking training sessions discussing what is a subnet or what is a class A address!! They have these 'n' number of doubts which when they write it down and come to us seeking answer, i feel like explaining them this hard truth that 'in the software industry culture nobody believes in discussing/querying what you dont know and exhibiting your ignorance, you just go and hit 'google.com' like a silent coward'!!! Some of them even address we seniors as sir and mam and it seems so wierd when we call even the 60 year old Managing Director by name!!! They are excited for every damn thing which falls into 'no big deal' category for us. But i love that, i like the way they enjoy this transition from college life to professional life. And how i wish those 3 E's(enthusiasm, energy and excitement) could be retained in this software industry after a year or so alsoo!! :(
