Despite the NOT SO GOOD perception about the back benchers in teaching community, one important advantage, in addition to the obvious ones ;), is that they get the bird eye view of the ecosystem called class. Being an experienced chap of same back bench, I take the opportunity to present the MT Batch of 2009…but ZARA HATKE…
Before we begin, a disclaimer: Though names have not been taken but any resemblance to characteristics & symptoms are purely deliberate.
Classifying the batch in 4 breeds/species, let’s get into the thick of matter:
· Breed called Pre Probed Officially (PPO)
· Breed called Doubtful Young Blood (DYB)
· Breed called Name Plates Available (NPA)
· Breed called The Unpredictibles
First kind of species, PPO, arguably the most informed customers (FYI…not consumers) of the organization hanging helplessly in the PPT sessions, struggling to give attention in the already known KYC. This kind of species can be identified easily playing somewhere a game called WHAT THEY DID LAST SUMMER…one such bugger lives in my flat with an “8x10 tasveer”
Second one, for all official purposes let us call them DYBs (Doubtful Young Bloods), have never been doubted about being young. Not for the surprise of many, they derive their name because from their brain, through the belly…till the very bottom, they are full of doubts. Dare you touch them & they will jump of their seats with impressively baked, obvious question woven in an ultimate complex MBA jargon dipped in Cherry Blossomed accent, consummately added toppings of serious inquisitive gestures.
Predominantly suffocated by the marketers, they surpass all visible, invisible entry barriers to undifferentiatedly* targeting the Still Confused silver jubilee MTs who started their career few decades back in the organization, surviving the cross functional syndrome unbelievably finds themselves glued to the Most Trusted Brand. Anyways, it’s not the subject under discussion here…
The above specie, DYB, forms the most dangerous of the lot as they many a times end up as a Disruptive Innovation especially for those in the Self Introspective Solo Calm Zone (read as “sleep”) who supposedly have burned their midnight oil in movies or LDLD (Long distance long duration) calls.
Third one, I think it’s them for whom we all have been honored with name plates. They follow the beautiful positioning of…BAS, NAAM HI KAAFI HAI. When you SELECT ALL, they pop up like FEW HIDDEN FILES. Their presence is majorly felt in the morning when people shuffle their positions in the quest to reach the best possible geopolitical location or to have a DESIRED neighbor. OR when tired of same bunch of monkeys, presenter try to read names on this UNTAPPED MARKET…
Our NPAs are very interesting & the one defying the famous financial abbreviation known to the world. Silent as they look, carries killing smile used as weapon to avoid any evidence proving that they aren’t in NOW ;) Probe them, talk to them…PAKAOFY them (as I do) to realize that they are the latent assets, well above the materialistic discussions of DYBs.
Forth one, The Unpredictibles*…The Uncategorized…in short…The Left Overs. At times, they create iconic ROTFL interventions, at other time their existence are proven by the lost name plates. Oscillating between extremes, they act as the fluids to this ecosystem, taking any form as required.
The only difference in bird eye view & back bencher’s perspective is that where a bird eye view is from a distance, my bench…though at back, is in same frame ;)
*grammer & spelling mistakes are attempt to make the post little short of perfection ;)
