New Face in the Corporate Race III

Niharika left the place but the actions of Alok were disturbing her again and again.

“ Was Alok Sir trying to be extra frank to me or this comes in corporate culture?

   What should I do?

   Should I join the Company? I think I should talk about this to ...Ammm to whom?

  Oh C'mon!! let's leave this here only.

“Well he must have seen the real talent in me!! This might me the culture of the companies. He was  just trying to make me feel comfortable when I was so nervous!!

Why am I thinking so much??

I think I should focus on my work and start preparing for my first day.

I am so excited for my first day of my new life!!

From Tomorrow onwards there will be a New Face In the Corporate Race!!”

Niharika reached home and informed everybody about her selection. Her parents were very happy for her. She had always been a proud daughter of her parents and this time she made her parents happier because they always wanted their daughter to touch great heights and that was the first step for the same according to them. Although Niharika’s parents warned her about the corporate culture but they being not much aware of the same were just able to tell to the extent they have heard from near and dear ones.

Now Niharika had to prepare for the next day. Dress, Foot wears, bag, sunglasses, documents, a new Pen and folder, some required documents etc etc.

Done!! Niharika said to herself after completing the preparation for the next day. 

Although cab facility was available for Niharika but on the first day she had to make it on her own. Hence she had to wake up early in the morning to get ready properly and catch the local train. Mumbai’s local trains have always been very popular because of the rush of office going people. It is magical to see that people or I would say workers of all categories travel under one roof. Unknown from each other but still connected to each other via a local train and no matter what the busy people of Mumbai always find their destinations on their own without depending on anyone.

Niharika’s journey was also about to start. Where for other youngsters the age of 20 would be the age of having fun in life, Niharika was interested in becoming an independent girl financially and mentally. It was not just money but also she wanted to grow as a person in her life which made her take that decision of starting a job and enter the Corporate World.

“All set for tomorrow?” Niharika’s dad asked.

“Yes Papa” Niharika replied.

“Then go to bed as you have to wake up early in the morning.” Niharika’s dad said.

“ok!!”-Niharika

While lying on the bed Niharika was thinking about that incidence when Alok came and sat so close to her. She was wondering why Alok did that.  What could be his intention? Was he just trying to make her feel comfortable or…? Or the matter was something else. But as she was new into that world she decided not to think much about that and focus on her carrier and growth.

"Good night for the last time to the college going girl, Niharika !! " Niharika wished herself and switched off the lights of her room

Next Morning she woke up early and got ready for her first day to office. She tried not to forget anything and managed to look as professional as she could on the first day of office. After catching a local train she managed to reach office on time. She met the receptionist who guided her towards the orientation room where the HR manager was supposed to give the orientation and do all other joining formalities. Luckily she was not the only one who got selected but she had a whole team of new joiners with her. She felt comfortable for the first time after last day's incidence.

After some time the HR Manager Ms. Ammy came.

"Good Morning folks"

A young lady with a pleasing personality entered the room. She was charming in her own way, Fair complexion, curly but well maintained hairs, a well knitted business attire on a perfect slim body and matching earrings embellishing the beauty. She was just  perfect.

"Hi my name is Ammy Shaw and I am the HR Manager of this company. Please make yourself comfortable on your seats. I am a friend of yours and not a senior over here." She said with a mesmerising smile on her face.

"From where do they get training for being so extra-ordinarily sweet." Niharika murmured.
