BREAK; OUT;

How would you behave, if one girls starts sobbing in you office cafeteria and begs for some private space (aka begging everybody to leave the place). Nothing ?? Well that's not what i felt when it happened to me.

Amazingly my office cafeteria is called "BREAK-OUT' zone. Not bcos people freak out in there but bcos freaky people try to break out tough problems (ofcourse company work) that they think is blocking their head. Well many of us just drop in to see the beautiful Hyderabad from 7th floor. Even the rocky terrain of "Banjara hills" looks like paradise when you desire to get out of the office. Well thats a completely different story. Someting not normal happened apart from the coffee machine choking for milk and overburnt milk heater. A lady sitting with all her composure suddenly started shouting (with deep asseration) "WIll you all please Shut-up ??" she said few more line in a jest meaning "She wanted some personnel space of her own".

Well that's not it, it makes me think upside down. My company is one that picks so called "the elite" ones IITians, ISMites ( :D ) and NITians. These supposed to be the most toughened students morphed into cutting edge professionals. They are not only trained to be technically skill-full but also tough management, psychology, economics and stress management. But i see all this going into vain.

Well why ?? Is a valid question.
Who am i with all professionally skilled but composed of completely depleted personality. One who cant keep bothering stuff inside his own head. One who is feeling empty even after working 12 stringent hours. One who is having zero personal life but only night life. One who cant pursue other carving stuff in my life, just because i want to grow professionally ??. Well its not like that people are weak mentally. Maybe they are but life makes everybody grow stronger. Help them face hardship with a smile in face. Then what can be so drastic in that persons life, that she had to break down in-front of everybody??. Isn't she also one of the same annealed student who has been grilled to be tough and strong.

Guess there's some flaw in our system.

OR maybe the cafeteria is intentionally labelled "BREAK-OUT" zone. Guess this being a US company where "BREAKING-OUT" is much common and HR having prior experience prefers letting people "Break-Out" instead of pouring all troubles on them.

Some day i will also utilize the "Break-Out" zone to break out on somebody on whome i would like too.

Well there's no conclusion of this posting, i just thought so hard...i had to type it down.
