CORPO-RATs we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all are in corporate world today...most of us. and what is it all about. ya ya the same way they said in the movie trailer of “corporate” (starring my favorite Bips)...paisa,power and politics.

When I used to be in reliance........ me and my few good friends used to sit in my room in a secluded township house provided by our company and talk about how our managers and the upper level management used to play politics...how to get rid of our office issues...where is this company going ...the future..bla bla bla.....but I have come to believe at this point of my career that we small people ..Like engineers will never know what is going on at the top and we are just few small rats trying to increase few thousands in our salaries every year....

We will never reach "there”. I think u all know what I mean by "there"......the business is about big bucks and big people. we all r nothing more than skilled labors...we don’t know who are the actual people playing the game and those game players are never interested in people at our level......life just goes on and we will end up leaving our "success" to our children which will include at the max....few small property investments.....a bank balance in few lacs...one or two cars...and our thinking......that’s it!!!!!!

Hey hey...I cant see the future...but this is what happens in 99.99% cases and I am not sure if we fall into that 0.01%....but I am almost sure we are part of the 99.99% flock.

Also this whole idea of categorizing people is not one of my pessimistic moods...its just a thought I happen to encounter after watching the movie "corporate"...actually this whole idea is not a result of the impact which this movie has made on my mind. This is what I have been thinking always and it was always there somewhere at the back of my mind, from the day I started understanding the corporate jargon a bit...this movie just pulled it out and I wanted to share it wid u all.

This movie has made me believe that actually the "downfall of system" can happen....like my favorite author ayn rand says in Atlas Shrugged. She also shared the same idea. That in a corrupt system when there is a big failure everyone starts looking for a scapegoat...like in this movie Miss bipasha baasu is made the "Bali ka Bakra" when the company's MD is in danger due to his mistakes. Rather incompetence...his corruption...greed for money at the cost of ethics...

We all are trying our best to climb the corporate ladder as fast as possible....we all want to taste the flavor of success....big success ...I am not sure how many of you agree...but at least I strive for the same..a big HIT....But I have no idea if I will also have to see the same truth ...same ugly truth when I reach the top!! what will I do??? Or may be due to our values and thinking we will never make it so big, to finally see the bitter truth..........Or by the time we reach there we will also be like them...ugly and corrupt.....Does anyone know where we are leading our lives???????????

Do think friends..because we are already part of the game....may be not directly but we are. I always talk with Sid that we Brahmins do not possess the crudeness and ruthlessness to do business.....we can just be slaves the way we are today.....but ultimately we want to be "there"..to play the game.....but will we ever be able to reach "there" to play the game with our kind of rules?.....Or still there are people left in this market who are playing the game with our kind of rules and their hands are still clean from dirt..........

So will this idea force me to withdraw!! Or will I stop striving for success in my corporate career.....or will I change my profession....no guys..nothing like that. I will continue..and you all will as well....but lets make it a point that in case we all make it BIG in our lives...we will stop and ask each other how much corrupt we have become and how many times we played fair to win a game.....
