A journey through profession in Dhaka

When I have joined my first job in Dhaka at a large group of Industries; my administrator asked me how I was feeling. I gave a reply and a short conversation took places between us. After the session over; he gave his opinion and said,”you are very bookish”. I gave him a smile and told him;”Thank you; I am taking your opinion as compliment and another thanks for not telling me selfish other than bookish”. He was true because somehow I try to follow and match the situation around me with verity of incidences, I read as story and situations with books mostly. When I was child I had to remember some lines of a poem written in Bengali; it was,”Grontho goto bidda r poro hoste dhon; nohe bidda nohe dhon hole proiojon”. This means the education I learnt from book is not an education until it proves potential when required; same happens with money too; when it is someone else’s hand. Briefly we can say education is valueless when it remains in book only and money which is mine but that is not in my hand; was never been my money when I required. But I learnt one more thing from this one sentence poem. We should learn education in this way to relate one with another thing i.e. education and money separate particles and separate incidences. In this way learning’s gets very easy for common people and I learnt another thing that is education and money is very important and value able in life. It has a need in society; though religion always avoided money thinking as mother of all evil. There are many thoughts are given by many about money and wealth. What I think if money is not required then why the almighty send it to society? Almighty sends the human and also sends whatever they required. Everything is very temporary in this world. Nothing last forever even the sun, the moon, the civilizations, the rules nor the religion. Only the almighty will remain forever and ever after. I found once again how the money played as evil in this large group of industries and how the relations are influenced by this evil power. Somehow a negligence and hate towards the evils came in my mind. Although I had a very good opportunity over there yet I left the job with an upset in my heart. I made myself understood let do the sacrifice and let the hungry people satisfy their hunger let’s see until how long they take to satisfy their hunger; although I gave emphasis of finding out my weakness from past experience and tried to make it up in current job. Hence I ripped the result within the next 6 months. After leaving the large group of industries I got a job in an IT & internet technology application firm who use to give service of internet to customers. My job was to sale customers the connections of internet. My manger use to encourage us of telling his previous life and make a competitive manner and environment by telling his scoring rate often. He sold 6 connections in a day with only one assistant with him.”It’s just a desire” he often mentioned us. If we have it we can do it too; although our target was monthly 12 connections only; 1in 2 days was enough. Often I used to say myself this is a very easy job and I can do it. In the morning by 8 AM I used to leave house. After reaching office; giving the report to my reporting manger was 1st duty, then the meeting for updates and work procedures. After accomplishing it we had to leave office for door to door marketing. I had a particular area for me. Most of my colleagues used to visit the old town whereas I used to go the opposite direction. I visited the Gulshan and Banani side often which was under new town. They used to visit in groups and I use to visit alone. There was another benefit of it. I could able to do tuition after my job is done. By 5PM in the evening I started. This was the reason my earning was the maximum after a month in my office among all of my co-colleagues. There were 8 in my team. My manager observed me for 3 months and then he allowed me some particular benefits like using the PC and internet connections of office which was restricted only for the authority only as a result the day came and I got the result of my work by breaking all the records of selling in the history of my company. I sold 9(nine) connections in a day all alone not only in terms of quantity but in money also. I love the number “9” because in the holy Quran Allah has 99 names. God Bishnu came in the world to save humanity 9 times as human and 9 times as animal in Hindu Ism. Life is really a gift I got understand it again.
