BEFORE & AFTER Amazon.

I am from hyderabad. Please expect Hyderbadi (India) style down.
BEFORE-
How I got into Amazon:
That day, I was pretty much excited as I was sure that I will join Amazon and start my career. After 3 hours of unwanted time pass, The authorities have brought us to the respective class rooms for the first round of interview. The interviewer had asked me simple question: What is Customer Service? I had replied with attitude as I was too much sure of the answer. He scribbled “R” on my resume and kept aside. I have learned that “R” states Rejected that day.
That Revenge has stayed with me for 4 months as I have to complete my Enginerring to attend interviews Off Campus. So, On the next day of my last exam of Btech I have landed at Amazon office for the interview. I had cleared all the rounds and was selected for Customer service Chat support UK. To be precise, I don’t know much about job but all My intention is to get in Amazon and I was there.
My Honeymoon was great:
Yes! They call the training as Honeymoon. On the note of that name, I was excited too! Trust me My training was just like second college to me. I never felt I had joined some corporate company and was having Corporate style training. It had been lot of fun. Thanks to the awesome people I met in my team and not to forget My trainer Komal! On this awesome note, I have started my job but who knows One day I was getting paid for saying “SORRY”.
The quit day:
After 2 months of being into the chat support, I was done at the end. Basically My job used to be saying Sorry for the fault made by some people related to Amazon for which the customer will give a “NO” for his experience. I have to say sorry again as my Manager says You might have dealed the issue in alterative way To get a “YES”. A person who never says sorry to anyone unless it’s his fault have to say sorry for every chat he takes up with customer because he is getting paid. How sick It can be, right?
It was infact! On that day I have started to office, On the way I had asked two questions to myself!
Is this job necessary?
Is this what you wanted to do after your graduation?
Answer: NO NO. I have went up to my floor, Told my friends that I was quitting right away without informing. They did not take it serious as I was talking about Quitting since a month. I had my hot drink , Gone to my Training room, Recollected My training days, Got down to cab and got back to home. I QUIT.
It was NCNS- NO CALL NO SHOW.
AFTER-
Hyderabadi Biryani:
If you ask me what is your goal: I can surely say that one of my goal is to eat biryani until my last day. That’s my love for hyderbadi biryani. Job at amazon had screwed me up to that point where I have ignored eating biryani outside instead to eat the same at office canteen(Not so great taste). One of the things I never wanted to have in my life is to sit alone and eat without any company. Thanks to the crazay job I was doing, I had a situation where I was sitting alone and eating the cold Egg fried rice(No Egg BTW). It might be hilarious to see me complaining about biryani and the way I wanted to eat food but trust me we are so occupied to talk about Iphone or some costly shit but We tend to forget Enjoying main things much needed to survive: FOOD.
After I had left my job, I have noticed one thing. Now, I am concentrating on the food I eat and drink. Every bite I eat now is related with either my mind being blank or thinking about the spices involved in the food.
“When you do something you love and You don’t think of anything except that, You might not know what’s that called!! Happiness”
Mahabharata, Immortals of Meluha & Steve jobs:
I have started reading books. I like biography but what made my mind to concentrate more on was mythology. I believe there should be something serious out there in these mythologies which drives Millions of people in the name of “Religion and God”. Let me tell you what I have inferred from these books.
1 . There is a Myth secret for why Girls can’t keep the secret for too long :
Yudhishthira is the holy one among the pandavas. His mother Kunti had given birth to another child before pandavas secretly and his name was KARNA.Trsut me to be precise, Karna is the hero of Mahabharata but fate can roleplay too. During the war, Kunti goes and request Karna to not to kill pandavas- his brothers as she knew that he is capable of to do so. Karna had vowed to his friend Dhuryodhana that he will avenge the pandavas. On that note, Karna doesn’t step back. With the help of Krishna, Pandavas will defeat Karna finally. Kunti then reveals to pandavas that they had just killed their brother. Seeing all this, Yudhishthira whispers stating that
“No women shall keep the secrets for too long”
Now you know!
2 . Oxygen is the reason for our death:
We need oxygen to survive. This oxygen reacts with food or molecules and releases energy and oxidants. You know why you need energy but What’s up with oxidants? That is the thing. These oxidants grow in large number which leades to wrinkles, weaking the fuctions of the body and finally death. I may have missed some facts here but the end line is true.
“The One which keeps you alive is the One destroys you at the end”
So, Don’t ever fuck with Nature.
3 . Steve Jobs The Hero:
You know that steve jobs was thrown from his own company. After few years he started “NEXT” and after some time, Apple eventually Bought Next and thus Steve was back into apple, Right?
Life can’t be a nice movie to expect such sweet comebacks or thrown outs!
Let me tell you what exaclty happened.
Steve understood that Macintosh was not doing good and he had cut the sales for Apple 2 which was their major source of income at that time. He very well knew that board is becoming anti to him. He had lost lot of shares in this process too. Now what is the best thing you can do? Try hard to make a miracle and save Apple company or to just leave with what shares left and start a new company( Steve already have the idea for NEXT ). He role played in such a way that he made the board to keep him out of the company. So, HE CAME OUT.
Now he has NEXT and he wanted to get back to apple as apple was totally down and he have enough money to buy the stocks and make the glory again. Next got the hardware. Apple has the software. Now what? He again played politics and got himself back into company. He had scripted his life according to his decisions. Steve has got guts.
let me end up here as I am still unemployed and it has been a month since I had left Amazon. I am 21 and I am surely proud of my decisions. At the end I am happy that I am learning what life is exactly but not rushing on those notes which makes you work every month.
To be continued…..
