‘For all you know,’ said my trainer, before he started his class, talking endlessly about the way American economic system works, the credit cards, their uses, their terminologies, and all those jargons and shit. My trainers. There are lots of them, by the way, they along with my batch mates have become my second family, and the cab drivers are my maid, and my thoughts, my vee-uh-kle. I have completed six weeks of training in this company. Successfully, I should say. But, there is little that I have learnt. I still feel I am no wiser than before. This situation of mine, reminds of a famous quote by Kurt Vonnegut, “Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.” I don’t know, whether Mr. Vonnegut, is talking about people like me, I mentioned this line, just because I like it. A lot of things have happened, after I joined this company. This is the first time ever that I was not there in home to celebrate Eid; I couldn’t savor the hot steamed biryani, nor did I get the eidiie from my family, for all I did, was to board the cab and remind myself about the past years. The next week, I will be hitting the floor, which means, I’ll be in on job training, for me though, it sounds like, “birds out of their nest.”
