"We don't throw half of the things we don't want because of the fear that someone else might use it"!!! -true, aint it?
Here however i wish to touch one such behaviour that is, i believe, more of a result of rebound re-action rather than initiated action!
It is the behaviour of a Senior towards a Beginner.
I refuse to believe what has been told to me, that all beginners have to accept the short end of the stick to begin with, the fair deal comes only later,however whether i accept it or surrender to it is another matter.
As a beginner that i am, i reason out if i have the qualifications and a humility to learn on the job and sincerity to put in my best, why should i not get a fair deal now!
Thats when i invariably catch my arguer stumble with the eternal line-"All have to go through it yaar, even we went through it and so will the ones to follow"!!...now-now...
Is it professionally required or simply humanely inevitable to make beginners not get a fair deal(in some fields more than others)?
U tell me...
...and enjoy this rhyme...
All of us have to go through it,
All of us don't want to be there,
Some are lucky to sail on smoothly,
Some just find it impossible to bear!
It's the place where all of us begin,
Whatever it is that we have on our mind,
And we are new to the individuals who precede us,
Individuals who look far less ahead than they look behind!
They are "The Seniors" who were once where we are,
And who too fretted about those ahead in line,
But now they do much the same thing to us,
And consider it's absolutely fair and fine!
All the maps of fairness that they had drawn,
Seem to be smudged when its their turn to drive,
Making them do what they themselves hated,
And making it seem like a tradition to survive!
"Stay back late- work or no work",
"Write my mails though I have my hands",
Insecurity taking the worst out of them,
They'll judge u by the way u zip your pants!
It's unfair they believe, to give beginners a fair deal,
They feel cheated if one such succeeds without a fight,
And its not nobility that drives their motives,
Its just seniors delight at beginners plight!!

Thanks.
I some always ended up looking at your other blog. Guess this one is the regular one now.
You're speaking from personal experience, I guess, but there are often times, when it is not so. I just made my foray into a field that is relatively new to me (hell, its new to everyone) and my seniors have been most helpful and supporting.
