Sibi Cobra: “Ho shit Man, when will this dodo learn?”
Sudip Cobra: “It happens… dude “
KK Cobra: “Hey… See what Jack has written, he is again proving he is a real Jack.”
Sudip Cobra: “Man… this guy is crazy…”
Sibi Cobra: “Ideally he shouldn’t have written this…”
Cobras started laughing hysterically, as usual the rest staring at them.
Wondering, are these guys normal?
********************************************
It all started when KK, the most experienced Cobra, the one and only of its kind, joined our Team.
KK doesn’t believe in Rules. “Break the Rules” is his motto.
He very well knows how to handle people when they ask him to do some crap.
One can see many faces in him. If at one end KK troubles people by his tricks, at the other end he will be at some orphanage playing with the kids, helping them. That’s KK, the amazing nut, the Guru.
Sibi a guy who was always ignored by his PMs, working all alone under the command of a vampire, frustrated with work. Enthusiasm had disappeared from his dictionary long back. He had started feeling why he was working? He’s a guy who always wants do something that has some meaning in Life.
Sudip, a very obedient guy, who didn’t know how to say “No” when he had to say “No”. He is smallest of the Cobras. He is still afraid to do some naughty things that the bigger Cobras daily do. He was pissed off the day when his grading was out.
They are from different states, they speak different languages, and they have different beliefs. But Life brought them together and they became the most notorious gang ever in that wing.
Everything changed from the day KK joined us. We started laughing for anything and everything. We used to call ourselves “CAFS Lions” initially, because we were the Kings. Another secret reason we called so was we were Lazy like Lions.
We later renamed it as “Cobras”, coz we were becoming more and more poisonous.
To Sibi, the sight of the cubicle itself used to irritate him now brought a smile on his face. The boring days became lively.
Sudip had slowly started saying “No” when he had to say “No” or rather a “No” when ideally it should have been “Yes”.
We used to make fun of everyone, no matter who the person is.
We were becoming fearless, who was ready to do anything for Fun.
Any games, any team meets, any quiz… anything… we tried our Best to spoil them. KK will come up with very innovative funny ideas to spoil them.
One such instance was “Chris Mom and Chris child”. Everybody will be a Chris mom of someone in the project. We decided it using lots. Chris Mom will give a task to its Chris child by passing notes or writing on the board etc. Until the specified day, nobody will know who his/her Chris mom is.
We came up with a wonderful idea to spoil this. We started writing notes to everyone in the project to do some funny things. Since they don’t know who their Chris mom is, they used to do it. One day, the cat was out of the bag and the whole game was canceled.
At times, we did cross all the limits, but still we made sure all this doesn’t affect work.
That’s how Cobras are, very responsible.
We had named each person after an animal.
Hipo, Dodo, Bull dog, monkeys, Donkeys… the list goes on.
We also had many jacks like Big Jack, Jack of all trades, local Jack etc.
Our jokes were jokes meant only for us. Only we laughed. When we were laughing, others were cursing. Any meeting, any get-together, we try our maximum with our sarcastic comments to make it bad. But sometimes, people blame us for things which we never did. That made us even happier. We embraced all such comments.
There were some, who were with us, in our new Revolution, against all biased Jacks.
We had a dream of a no-nonsense world, where we’ll do things that are practical.
Now the time has come for the Cobras to part.
They have to go on their ways, for their career, for their future.
They know, they are parting for good, but still…
As always, parting is pain.
They can never forget the fun they had together.
