Ennui


The power of boredom is such that it can force creativity to come out in a weird manner.
The following contents will try to capture one such outburst.

Courier companies have a strange way of functioning. I called up one such company to inquire whether they send or receive a certain item. Their immediate answer was in the negative. People who answer calls plonked in their chairs at call centres are not too forthright to give information and even if they are, the responses are usually , “No sir, We don’t know, sorry you have got the wrong information etc.etc.” The moment you tell them that the same product with a definite Consignment number has been dispatched from another city; they quickly change their stance, wake up from their laziness and agree to you.
Banality of it all is befuddling.

Yet, I empathise with their jobs and sometimes wonder how many times do they really smile before answering the calls or the most important training lesson is forgotten the moment training is over.

Yes, this post is a result of boredom and laziness.
Make posts while boredom shines.. Now, really!
