"I wake up in the morning
to find the sun shining
and with a strange feeling
That Im missing something
Im not sure of my priorities
Ive lost sight of what i used to be
Is it me? Or the way I turned out be
Life was never the same as it used to be
Hang around with it and be proud !!
Is that what I really wanted ?
Highly paid job and what not
It lead me to change my heart
I feel Its not the job anymore
Neither its about success or a failure
Its a real mad bad world out here
And I feel I'm the only one to complain
With this job I got humbled
And with my greed already dead
what is that I really crave for?
Does it really matter anymore?"
A tall lanky dark lad with long curly hair would be the first impression of him and being part of a middle class orthodox pentacoast christian family, Sam Varghese Edakkad didn't have the chance to explore the so called joys of teenhood and post his studies his life wasn't getting any better. Rather he was busy defending himself from his parents ever gowing expectations to find a job. His life was like a sucked off bagasse(dry fiber left off after extraction of juice from a crushed sugarcane) hardly left with any interesting moments, until he got the opportunity to get out from his home town. and this was in the form of an opportunity to work in a BPO based out of bangalore.
He thanked his luck but never thought about going through any arduous test of his orthodox beliefs. It was a pleasant surprise to him when his beliefs got tested which he eventually failed. During his training days he got to know that cigarrates are actually a unisex product and it wasn't too late for him to get used to its addictive puff !! His transition from a quick Orthodox to a modern Bangalorean took only a month and he soon shed all his orthodox traits(which is always equivalent to a do -nothing stance in a city like Bangalore) like a snake shedding its skin. Sammy !! the name sounded a bit whacky, but he had no other choice apart from getting accustomed to it. The origination of this name and acceptance of the same by a person like Sam Varghese Edakkad is quite a story - Thanks to Ruby - the accent trainer. Ruby, just lie the jewel just shimmered and shined all across the BPO center, and there was no dearth of pupils in her classroom. Even the best performers in the floor taking calls day in day out with the fake US accent come flocking to her class to develop and sharpen the accent further. Well in short it had nothing to do with the voice accent but to gain a short glimpse of her shiny curves, which Ruby proudly flaunts in all its glory.
