Bench is Heaven!!

 Yes! Bench. Some people dread it, some love it. I am not sure what I feel. From my personal experience, I think its good for a short period.. you can have fun.. browsing, chatting, roaming whatever you want. But it gets a bit boring as time goes.. God knows why these companies hire so many people if they dont need them. But I’m not complaining, its everyone’s dream to get paid for doing nothing or doing what you want rather.

All my friends who joined recently in various software companies were put on bench, the shortest time is mine.. for 2 weeks. I came to know that one entire accenture facility is on bench.. can you believe it?

Coming to heaven, Its a place thats supposed to be ideal.. as in.. you get to do what you want. Same on bench. So it matches perfectly. Thought the presence of angels(urvashis and menakas) depends on your company. No one asks you anything. Its true some companies keep swipe in and swipe out times. They are intelligent too. Their offices will be located in such ‘far from fun’ areas that even if you want to roam around until your swipe out time, you can find nothing(like theatres, parks, coffee day..) within a radius of 5 kms.

Lets look at the term ‘bench’. Ever thought why or how it got coined? All these companies provide soft push back chairs for their employees.. so where s the question of bench?

Benches are supposed to be hard wooden furnitures which though uncomfortable after sometime, can seat many people. I think its this definition is what made the term get the meaning we are discussing. There are many people, its gets uncomfortable after sometime..(you get frustratingly bored).. so it matches perfectly.

Bench also makes you try things which you wouldn’t even dream doing.Look at me.. I started blogging from today.. I hate writing.. essays, articles.. I always thought I cant put my thoughts into words.. Now.. This is my second blog. and I am loving it..  It’s not so tough after all..So in conclusion, whatever happens.. take it positively..  Consider bench as its classical meaning goes.. its a place to sit and relax.. in parks, etc. So.. do just that.. chill out..

Well.. I got bored. Since there’s no swipe out time for me… I’ll leave now..

Once again.. cheers to bench..
