Ist day

I hate “first days” without any reason. First days of schools, colleges ,university and  I don’t even watch the first episode of any drama . I used to skip  1st  Day  of everything. But sometimes you have to come across this too. First day of my most recent ex-office was strange and wired than others. I entered in office (sharp 9am that I was supposed to be) and then I sat in to reception area. It was a big room having photocopy machine, TV, four black sofa’s (one of them I was sitting) and decorated with some ethnic pieces. I was anxiously waiting , in this feeling, I asked blue and black pant wearing man (support staff) what should I do ? He replied just wait. Then after 15 mins, my wait got over and my boss said to me lets go and finally I got my cabin full of messy things. Then I got orientation, read books, got introduction with whole staff, little chit chat with people and that how 1st day closed. My first lesson was not to come on time.
 No one bothered whether other’s wore simple frock and abya . Because according to them, everyone must be accountable to their own actions. Every passing time the environment absorbing me and EM adopting their norms. And within 1 month nothing is strange to me. My messy desk changed into new desk and my front board is filled with sticky notes with hotel Transylvania wallpaper on desktop.  After 3 months everything going into continuity, work and even my desk. Everyone became my friends
But when my arrival date came,(completion of contract ), everything went in reverse motion. Everything was going away from me. Now my full desk changed into empty. I wrapped the  whole stuff and handled things to supervisors. I had associated some fears with first day or I consciously wanted to avoid introductory session of everything. I wanted to see things in flow every one cheering, not to struggling for making relationship or other’s making fun of their first appearance.  Mostly in office, everyone is teasing the new comers without recalling their own 1st day. Putting barriers and discouraging and back biting. This used to happen everywhere. I  also became victim of this like others.
Through my good listening skills without interpreting them and won’t broadcasted it. I concluded people used to backbite their seniors, when they mostly need their juniors as a guide.  (It happened in offices when they hired new seniors or some doesn’t like anyone to be superior than them etc) .Most loveable moment is when backbiting is prohibited in offices and every single person proudly disobeying the law.  :D
 It is psychological that we hardly welcome others with full heart. This feeling called ragging in educational institutes. This ragging changed into discouraging or in official language calls “leg pulling”. In houses we used to call this phenomenon “grudges” towards latest edition of family calls “daughter n law”. It is a vicious cycle hurters ain’t feel this how much they unconformable others.  No matter how bad was happening with us in past we should try to adopt new changes appearing in life. Life is about constant changes in structure otherwise I would be monotonous.

In nutshell, 1st day fear come along with all new comers of every stage. In more causal words we can say its “revenge “. To take from those who never hurts you. Like suicide bombers taking “revenge” of whom they don’t know. The points from above I’m trying to make here is no body won’t replace you and you can’t replace anyone. Rather than to jealous just embrace new change and forget new comer’s some mistakes. Be optimistic J
