From my engg days i heard about BENCH concept in IT firms.... one of my friend used to think that bench people are get different treatment...they are actully made to seat on BENCH without computer.... as if waiting line .... Then we knew that it's not so.... you get cubical...you get a Desk, your desktop....internet....Phone....and most importantly your salary is also same.... .everything is there.....only thing missing is work.....
When I knew about this i was like WOW..... then I came to know people who crib about Bench and I used to feel how stupid they are..... why can't they enjoy life....I was like hope i get bench in my job....but to my luck or unluck....from first day after training i was placed in Project....rather they were waiting for me to come out of training.... And then onwards.... I was billing to same client....getting something or other in project....got a chance to attend different trainings but not a single day with BENCH.... There were lows and High's ... But even in low...there were many things lined up.... and we knew that we have to do it today or tomorrow......
In high peak of project I used to feel why I can't be on Bench for some time... I need a break... i will do many useful things... I will have fun... Will read forward mails...will write blogs...and what not...just give me a break...
And today here I am....this is my 3rd day on bench.... and trust me it is very boring...you login to gmail...see there is only two mails....one is some ad and other one friend request on Hi5 or similar like that....No need of checking your Outbox....Login to Orkut....No scraps for you...ok for change change profile picture...done...now what...see if any upcoming bdays...ohhh yes there is one...drop a scrap... Now what.... In my company we don't have to report anyone ...when we are on bench,...There is something called Firm activity....doing other things for firm than proj...Checked with few people if I can participate in any... I got one hr activity to do ...You won't believe How happy I was.... being in Mumbai.... Away from Family...can't do much except sleeping by coming late or going early to flat....
So I am exploring all different thing one can do.... this is one of the attempt for same.... :)
Thanks for your time.....

updating your blog is the one good thing u have done, i will say :)
Being on bench can't be that bad!!
Guess its the 'u-r-leaving' so can't involve u in any more work policy, companies have..
