24 things in IT industry

1) U use phrases like "No issues" and "Value addition" in everyday parlance. For e.g. When talking about your doodhwalla, U say, "His milk does zero value addition to my health but he is the only guy around so no issues"

2) Ur prime source of entertainment is the forwards send to U by friends whose faces U cant remember.

3) U drink more tea or coffee than water.

4) When a half-day at work means leaving at 7:30 in the evening (and U actually feel guilty about it).

5) U keep trying to shut down ur home computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del (used to lock office comps)

8) When ur mobile rings at home, U rush outside to receive the call.

9) When U make calls at home, U accidentally dial "0" to get an outside line.

10) U havent played Solitaire with real cards in years.

11) U tell everyone your favourite book is "Who Moved my Cheese?" when in reality U couldnt even finish that. Ur real favourite book is the Oracle manual for PL/SQL.

13) U secretly visit sites like *jeevansathi.com* and *shaadi.com* and hope no one is watching, especially that girl in HR.

14) U dont go abroad anymore, but go 'on site'. And when U go 'on site' your mama, chacha and l'il cousin Chintu come to see u off.

15) U spend the entire day reading forwards, smoking cigarettes, drinking tea/coffee and playing T.T. and then complain about the late working hours.

16) Ur important 'meetings' usually comprise two or three people max, including yourself.

17) U keep pressing Ctrl+Enter wondering why your gmail is not going.

18) Ur prime source of sleazy entertainment is the Femina issues in the office library.

20) U secretly prepare for CAT only to find ur PL sitting behind you at the exam.

21) Ur criteria for visiting a restaurant is whether it accepts 'Ticket restaurant' coupons or 'Sodhexo' passes.

22) U email ur mate who works at the desk next to U.

23) U read this list and kept nodding & smiling.

24) As U read this list, U r thinking of sending it to ur friends who are also in IT
