Just another day in the life of another software Engineer

Bangalore, the city of Gardens, lakes,opportunities and empowerment....
This was the hoarding put up by BMP (Bangalore Mahanagara Palike), on a flyover, which I come across everyday while driving to office. The penultiate point hit me hard. As usual, if something hits me hard (other than stones, sticks, and other physical stuff :-P ) I blog about it. So here comes another one.
What are all the opportunities present here?? The answer is one everyone knows. The software industry has boomed big time out here and this is the Silicon valley of India. So what does all these info lead to? How's this related to the topic in question? Well, this was a not-so short intro for this topic.
I am J.A.S.E (Just Another Software Engineer) frm namma Bengalooru. After a sample size of 10-15 fellow J.A.S.E's cutting across namma bengalooru, this is how a typical day with J.A.S.E will look like :

Disclaimer : The situations explained here occur very regularly and any resemblance with non-J.A.S.E(s) is a pure coincidence ( I mean it)

1) Time of the day : 7 - 8 AM or sometimes even 9 AM -----

After pressing the "Snooze" button on his Nokia nobile phone umpteen times, the subject realises that he has missed the ideal time to wake up in the morning and knows that he will be late to office. Rush to office as soon as possible. He also realises that his boss had scheduled a client call @ 9.30 AM.... Run J.A.S.E Run

2) Time of the day: 11 AM to 12 PM -----

After reaching the office, subject finally turns on his workstation. The J.A.S.E opens all the required files for the work planned (?) for the day. Then, he realises that it's time for Coffee / Tea / Boost / Bournvita / Horlicks/ whatever ... RUN J.A.S.E RUN again

3) Time of the day: 1PM to 2 PM ------

Time for lunch... The less spoken about the taste of the food (if the subject is eating food from the cafeteria), the better. Our subject also spends his time gossipping with other J.A.S.E's.... Talk J.A.S.E Talk

4) Time of the day:2 PM to 4 PM ------

Finally, involved with work... The subject receives a few calls from a bank / insurance company for credit card / debit card / visiting card (oops! pls ignore this)... Our subject is disturbed and he's also feeling very sleepy (after-effects of the cafeteria food)... So back to Coffee / Tea / Boost / Bournvita / Horlicks/ whatever .... Walk J.A.S.E Walk

5) Time of the day: 5 PM to 9PM ------

Finally, the work is done and gotta go home.. Our subject prays that he doesn't have to re-do the same piece of code tomorrow...Crawl J.A.S.E Crawl

6) Time of the day: 10PM to midnight and beyond

Our subject has multiple options

a) Night show movie

b) Pubs / Disco (only till 11.30 PM)

c) Yahoo! messenger @ home

d) Orkut

and so on............ Sleep (?) J.A.S.E Sleep(???)

This vicious cycle continues on and on and on and on...................................

This is the life of an average J.A.S.E ......

This blog is dedicated to all the budding and wanna-be J.A.S.E's ;-)
