Ever since I came back from Belgium and re-joined the Indian firm, I am sitting in the library. They have the ridiculous policy of not providing a PC if one is not on project.
Those not in project have to be in the library. They cannot just go away too. So I have been sitting in the library for a week now. First I read some computer books. How long can I read without doing some exercises? Now I started to read a Tamil novel called Ponniyin Selvan by an eminent author of the past decade, Kalki. I already finished the first part. There is 5 parts to this novel. It is a romantic historical novel, based on events of four centuries back when Chola dynasty ruled Tamil region. The author’s style of story telling is superb. I should do what I enjoy doing. Am I right? And if I am paid for it, all the more fun.

There are quite a few in the library who are in the same condition like me. I met a girl who was recruited on Monday and straight sent to the library. She is not been informed anything about her job. I wonder what kind of HR policy is that.
To compensate for this idiotic HR policies, the finance department cuts the benefits of those who are in the projects. And this firm is a CMM level 5 company.

Now if you would excuse me, I will go, collect my pay cheque and then proceed to library to read Ponniyin Selvan.
