A soft. professional's misery..
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
I start my day by sitting on a chair,
Giving my monitor a hard, cold stare.
By evening I’m done with another coding,
Oh! This has become a routine so boring.

Like all, I entered this field with many a hope,
Jobs were aplenty and there was no dearth of scope.
Dreams were big - Of joining the likes of Gates,
And a chance to make good money in the States.

Thus, I entered the world of bytes,
Only to realize that reality bites.
‘Coz a programmer’s life isn’t all that cosy,
The bed of software isn’t all that rosy.

Seeing the monitor all day & night,
Have taken the power off my eyesight.
Late to bed & late to rise,
Has made me wealthy, but not healthy & wise.

Working holidays, busy weekends,
No time for family, no time for friends.
My job steals most of my time,
Helplessly, I’m a part of this crime.

Just for a few bits of money,
I forego those moments with my Honey.
When I should be out – having fun,
I’m telling a Comp. – what is to be done.

I hate you, yet I can’t get away,
‘Coz I need the money you pay.
God, to thee I pray,
If there be one – show me the way.

When God didn’t bother to reply,
I realized what it tends to imply.
I chose my own path, sans the logic,
Of planning, tracking & weaving some ‘magic’,

Manager’s chair was always alluring,
But now I know, it’s equally boring.
Do what may to evade the pain,
Somehow, the fuss doesn’t seem to wane!!!
