First Day @ Work

Today was my first day at work. First ever jobless day. Orey the prayers, coconut breakings, feet fallings and all before leaving Chennai. Then in Bangalore, wearing new shirt with kungumam, god prayings and right leg keeping to get on Volvo Bus to office. So many auspicious things doing before joining job.

I reach office and am told that me just formalities completing today and given a bunch of forms to fill. And this is what I filled . . .

1) I, Praveen Krishnamurthy, hereby nominate X to get my Gratuity benefits in case of my death during service.

2) I, Praveen Krishnamurthy, hereby nominate Y to get my Provident Fund in case of my death during service and this nomination overrides my previous nominations.

3) I, Praveen Krishnamurthy, hereby nominate X to get my Life Insurance benefits in case of my death during service.

4) I, Praveen Krishnamurthy, hereby nominate Y to get my Widow Pension benefits in case of my death during service.

Aiyyo! Why does everyone have to start work on such a morbid note? Join panna annikkae naan seththa enna nadakkum-nu ezhuthi vaangikkanuma?! Yezhavu!

Update: It seems they lost one of the above forms and I need to die again! Hmph!
