I finally recovered from a bout of depression and sad songs post CAT. Anyways...though i haven't told many about the CAT exam in office..everybody knows about it anyways. (Rt and i tried valiantly to keep it a secret but big mouths that we are...it escaped our lovely tongues somehow and everyone knows about it now.)
Hmm...so it was another day in office...was waiting for client feedback as usual.....when suddenly my boss came to my bay and said, "Come"and i follow her to the other side of the bay ( a bay is a setup of six computers -three facing the other three where associates sit and work). There they stood- a team of new joinees. I heaved a sigh of relief but a thought lit up my brain saying-hey now you are a senior!
Well Our high level management and the rest of the team was there. To break the ice, our team boss, a paternal and warm gentleman suggested that one of them should sing, while the other should dance while the third would provide the bg music. I thanked my stars that i didnt have to go through this embarassing display of talent when i joined. Well,one of the boys was allotted the privilege of singing while another had to provide the bg music....and the girl had to dance.
Hmm so while the team waited in suspense...the girl showed some signs of hesitation and suddenly the guy burst out "Machan peru madhurae....." The rest of it was unheard as the team had burst into laughter and everyone was laughing their lungs out!
But still the girl showed no signs of willing to dance. So Dev and Sai,our HO(short for higher authorities) gave her some training by asking her to point at this and that...so it was a kind of its-the-time-to-disco type movements.
And so everyone was ready for the grand finale so while the guy sang "Machan peru madhurae", the bg guy drummed some tune while the girl piously followed the steps taught in a robotic fashion. I didn't see much after the initial few steps cause i was bent over and tears clouded my eyes-of course from insane laughter. My voice is generally loud and when i lose control of my laughter, i kinda sound like a remixed female version of gabbar singh. So my teammates stared at me from time to time. Finally after everybody had had a good laugh, i trudged back to my bay thinking hmmmm....Bulbul ne toh naach liya-paisa kisko milega?
