OUR LIFE …..AS AN IT PROFESSIONAL

Sleeping inside the blanket, wishing that the morning never comes,
We hear the alarm sharp at 5.30,as the mobile rings.
Snooze it one time, two times but don’t turn it off,
Remember the day when you did not see the bus at your bus stop.

Finally get up, pack your bed and switch the geyser ON,
Open the door and feel that the lovely sleeping hours are gone.
Brush your teeth while your eyes closed and sleep for those 5 minutes,
Take bath, pray, get ready and run for the bus so you don’t miss it.

If you are before time or lucky enough, grab the window seat,
Or get crushed in between on every jerk or fall down on every turn while asleep.
Try to complete your sleep in between bus and lorry horns,
Along with listening to the Radio City songs.
Reach office and try to open your eyes fully,
But unable to do it without b’fast and a cup of masala tea.

Reach your cubicle, unlock your PC and open the outlook,
check if client has complained or the patch you sent last, did not work
Being happy not seeing any mails with any new issues,
Put your headphones and turn the music on

Suddenly a mail from your manager drops in the inbox,
asking for some analysis and thinking out of the box,
You frown and open the work window,
struggle with the code and documents to get some clue.

When nothing seems working, go get some tea or coffee,
When all is a mess, go for lunch/snacks or some chatting.
Come back, start again, try adding or deleting some lines in code,
Sometimes, it will work or else go in never working mode.

Finish some part and leave some for tomorrow,
You can’t work more as it is time to go.
Pack your bag, run for the seat near window,
Else you will be fall on turns or sandwitched between any two.

After a longer journey than morning, you reach back home,
Finish your dinner and clean some household somehow.
Go in the lap of bed, wishing tomorrow is holiday,
but that will happen only 2 times a week anyways.

The vicious circle of same routine is takes most of the our time ,
And we have no grudges as it is IT professional’s life.
