ADVENTURES OF AN UNFORTUNATE OPPICER

PART I

No. It is not officer. It is oppicer. Thats the term coined by our great Goundamani in the film
Indian for a guy whom the outer world perceives as kingmaker in a corporate. Remember when
he salutes enthil saying! Kut Maarning Oppicer!"

#et me give you an e$ample. I was walking home when some kids were talking together at the
streets corner.

Kid1: (Exclaiming) %ei& 'ndha anna Gunfosys la vela seyyuraarda&
(Hey that elder is working in Gunosys)

Kid2: (nnadhu Gunfosys ah&&&&&&&&&&&
(!hat"! Gunosys"!)

Now I was confused as to whether they were sarcastic or genuinely appreciating my association
with Gunfosys.

They started calling out my name.

Kid1: Narender anna& Nillunganna& (nga kooda cricket aadunga please&
(#arender $ro! %lease stop! &oin us or cricket!)

Kid2: %ei& (nna nakkala" 'varu evlov periya oppiceru) 'vara poi nammaloda
cricket vilayada kooppudara"
(Hey are you kidding" He is a $ig oppicer! How dare you call him to play cricket with us")

I *uickened my pace without turning back. +ut one of the mischievous guys pulled me by the
hand and I had no other option but to stop and ,oin them.

Narender: eri da& 'ana seekiram aadi mudikkanum& (nakku evening veetla neraya vela
irukku&
(OK' (ut we should wind up soon! I ha)e work in the e)ening!)

Kid1: 'ppadi ennana vela"&
(!hat work $ro!")

I was caught in a trap. -ow can I e$plain to him that I will be chatting with my girlfriend" I was
very careful not to corrupt their minds. I believed kids of such a small age group should not
know about dating! girlfriends! committed relationships etc.

Kid2: .idra machi& 'varu yethavathu ponnoda cell phone la kadala
poduvaaru& Namakku edhukkuda indha vambu" (*ooking at me) (nnana& (thavathu figure
set aacha illaya"
(*ea)e him dude! He will pro$a$ly lirt with some girl! !hy should we $other" Hey $ro! +ny
girl till now")

I decided not to speak after that till the match was over. 's usual the team I was in lost the game
and my team mates were secretly cursing my inclusion for their downfall. I reached home and
saw that a guest was waiting for my arrival. It was a lady of my mothers age.

Mother: Itho avane vanthuttane& %ei Narender! ivanga ponnu /riya kooda Gunfosys la thaan
vela seyyuraalam& Nee paathu irukkiya"
(He has come! #arender, her daughter %riya is also working in Gunosys! Ha)e you seen her")

Narender: -uh) /riya va" (ndha /riya"
(%riya" !hich %riya")

Mother: %ei& /riya na endha /riya nu kekkura" Neeyum Gunfosys la thaan vela
pakkura. 'valum Gunfosys la thaan vela paakkura. 'ppuram eppadi theriyaama irukkum"
(How can you ask which %riya" -ou are working in Gunosys' .he is also working in Gunosys'
/hen how is it possi$le you don0t know her")

I let out a big sigh. The guest who was apparently /riyas mother was adding fuel to the fire.

Guest: /riya pa) 0on,am tallah iruppale)
(.he will $e tall)

1hat a description& -ow can I know a %riya in a corporate strength of 23333 in this division of
the company alone" +ut I should know because she was also tall&

I couldnt take this conversation anymore. +esides! I was tired. o I deci& ded to play it safe and
end the nonsense.

Narender: 4h& 'ndha /riya va& (nakku theriyume& /ona vaaram kooda food court la pathu
pesunen.
(Oh! -ou mean that %riya" -eah I know her' E)en last week I talked to her in ood court!)

Guest: Illiye pa& 'va pona maasame onsite poittale) Nee eppadi pesiyiruppa"
(/hat0s impossi$le' .he went onsite last month itsel' How could ha)e you talked to her")

5y mother gave me a glaring look. This idiotic guest has arrived for the sole purpose of spoiling
whatever good name I have at my home.

Guest: 'thu sari pa) Nee onsite pogala"
(/hat0s OK' +ren0t you going onsite")

he was persistent to humiliate me in front of my mother. (ndi) 4nsite
la enna koopta naan endi pogama irukken" Nee enga veetta vittu pogumpothu rotla ambassador
car yeri saga pora paar&
(Gladly I would ha)e, only i I was called' May you $e hit $y an am$assador car on your way
$ack home!)

Guest: (nnapa yosikkura" /esaama company maariden&
& (!hat are you thinking" (etter switch to another company!)

uper. (ttaan class pass aagaathava ellam enna company maathiko nu strategic advice
kodukkura&
(.he hasn0t passed 1
th
standard $ut is gi)ing strategic ad)ice on switching companies)

Narender: 0andippa maaruven aunty& eri /riya endha country poi irukka"
(.ure I will switch companies! (y! the way to which country has %riya let or")

Guest: (!ith a $ig proud smile) 'u6.

Narender: +u2 na"
(+us means")

Guest: (!ith a sympathetic look) 'ustralia pa&
(+ustralia!)

40. (nna rumba usuppethitta. Ippo paar&
(-ou ha)e crossed the threshold' /ake this!)

Narender: 4h& 'ustralia va" 7sual ah 'ustralia vukku irukkuradhulaye mattamaana resource

(Oh! +ustralia" 4sually unit resources are sent there' E)en my riend said that when gi)en a
choice, one would rather choose to die than go to +ustralia!)

Guest: (/o my mother) aringa) Naan kelamburen& (/o me, with a 3pa2hi)aangittiye da!0
look) .aren pa&
(OK' I will lea)e now' 5.cornul look6 .ee you!)

-a ha ha) 'singapatta autokaari&&&
(.uccessully humiliated her in return!)

I still cursed she should be hit by an ambassador car on her way back.

4ne hour later! I received an sms from my girlfriend 89es. I too had one. I will narrate that
tragedy later:

Vidya: -i dear& I am very upset.

5eans Narender you have to ask me what my problem is.

Narender: -ey dear& 1hat happened"

5eans solli tholadi)
(Go on)

Vidya: 5y m& other went to a visit a guest. 4n her way back! she was hit by an ambassador car
(.ad smiley included) he is in hospital now (/wo sad smiley included).

4ops& omethings wrong here&

Narender: -ey dear& 're you alright" .ery sorry for your mother. %ont mistake me for asking
this at this moment. 1hat is your elder sister Rubinis full name"

Vidya: Rubini /riya. 1hy"

Narender: 1here is she now"

Vidya: he is in 'ustralia.

'athaadi&&&
(Oh God!)


ADVENTURES OF AN UNFORTUNATE OPPICER
PART II

I disconnected the call citing signal disruptions. The ne$t day .idya messaged me.

Vidya: -i dear ;an you call me now"

1hy do girls always ask the guys to call them" If you ask them! they will give the universal
response! 5obile la etho problem pa. 4utgoing calls pogave mattenguthu

Narender: 1hy dear" ;ant you call me"

/udhusa nee vera enna solla pora" 'nyway I called her.
(!hat else are you going to say anyway")

Narender: -i .idya& -ow are you"

Vidya: 9eah& I miss you these days&

(Oh yes! -our mother escaped the clutches o death somehow' #ow is it a$solutely necessary to
say 3I miss you these days!0")

In Gounders style! Indha nerathula +))a +))a paattu a)asiyamthaana"0
(Is it necessary to sing 3Hawa Hawa0 song now")

Narender: 5e too dear&

The ne$t few days were typical days of my office life. %id I tell you about my office" 1ell) I
will describe it as time proceeds. =or now! I will give a brief introduction.

Gunfosys has corporate divisions all over the world. imilar to >32> predict& ions by scientists!
top marketing strategists have predicted that ?@A
th
of earths population will be recruited
by Gunfosys before >32B. 5ost of the offices will be very near to the capitals cities of the state.
ay around >33km only. 5y office is very special to me. I en,oy travelling in the trafficCfree road
between my office and ;hennai where my home is situated. I stay at home only. +ut the
neighbors think I am an occasional visitor. The policeman on the street suspects I am a terrorist
because I often get down from a cab late after midnight.

I hate to interact with any fresher in my office. There is a strong reason behind this. I will narrate
you a conversation I had with a fresher.

That day! after a hectic schedule I was having tea at the food court when a ,unior from >323
batch recogni6ed me and started a conversation.

Fresher: (!ith a sad ace) ;ha& 5anasukku rumba kashtama irukku na&
(I am )ery unhappy)

Narender: (nda" /ro,ect romba difficult ah irukka"
(!hy" Is your pro7ect diicult")

Fresher: Naan /ro,ect laye illa na& 'thaan kashtama irukku&
(I am not in pro7ect! /hat0s why I am unhappy!)

Narender: %ei).

((ro9 -ou are )ery gi9)

(In Gunosys %re:placement talk they said i I work )ery hard or three months, I will $ecome

Narender: %ei niruthikoda&).
(8ude9 %lease stop it!''')

Fresher: (Interrupting) +ench la romba naal irundha ire panniduvaangalaa na"
(!ill they ire me i I were in $ench or a long time")

Narender: %ei) (nnala mudiyalada&)
(8ude I can0t take it any longer!)

(!hat will I $ecome i I work in Gunosys or ten years")

Narender: Theriyaadhuda)
(I don0t know9)

Fresher: ollungana) /athu varusham Gunfosys la vela sen,a ennana aaven"
(/ell me $ro9 !hat will I $ecome i I work in Gunosys or ten years")

Narender: %ei athan naan en vaayaala solla koodaathuda&
(8ude, I shouldn0t tell it!)

Fresher: Thayavu sen,i sollungana) /athu varusham Gunfosys la vela sen,a ennana aaven"
(%lease tell me $ro9 !hat will I $ecome i I work in Gunosys or ten years" )

Narender: %ei! inikku velli ke6hama da& Naan solla koodaathu da&
(8ude, it is ;riday! I shouldn0t tell it!)

Fresher: 'nna please sollungana) /athu varusham Gunfosys la vela sen,a ennana aaven"
((ro please tell me9 !hat will I $ecome i I work in Gunosys or ten years")

Narender: /4N'5 aavada&
(-ou will $ecome a corpse!)

The fresher disappeared. <ust as I finished my tea& my mobile phone rang.

It was my ,unior from >322 batch. I had the contact in my mobile! but never messaged him after I
finished college.

4ru varushama kandukaathavan! ippo enna thideelnu call pannuraan" 4ru vela maathi call

(!hy does the guy who ne)er called or more than a year calls me now" <ould it $e a wrong

;onfusedly! I attended the call.

Junior: -i anna& (ppadi irukeenga"
(Hi $ro! How are you")

Narender: Naan nalla irukken pa& Nee eppadi irukka"
(I am ine dude! How are you")

Gradually the conversation became very mechanical. /ayyan kadaiseela vishayathukku

(;inally he 2eroed in on the purpose o his call)

Junior: 'nna& =inal year pro,ect yethala na pannurathu"

I disconnected the call and took a tablet of anacin. & (ver since I ,oined Gunfosys I always used
to carry a couple of anacin tablets wherever I go.

5y headache subsided. /eace returned in sometime. 's I was about to leave the food court! my
mobile rang again. It was .idya.

Vidya: -ey dear& 5y sister Rubini /riya is returning from onsite&
