My First Day at Office

After having a long chat with all my wingies the previous night, i woke up early in the morning
feeling unnaturally rejuvenated. After rushing through my breakfast I reached my office, which is 45 Kms. from my place, a full half an hour before scheduled time! So, finally after a couple of
centuries I made for some appointment at/before time. I utilized this time in exploring the delicacies of office canteen. There was one other guy with me who joined the company with me. We reported to some HR person and were made to sit in a room called Popeye! This room is used for screening of movies for the employees and its wall are plastered with sound-absorbent material. We were made to go through 4 different orientation presentations . After a couple of other formalities we took our lunch in the canteen. During lunchtime I realised that sex ratio of India is close to 960 females per 1000 males, instead of 1:10 as we were made to believe for past four years :P. After lunch we were assigned our mentors and alas, i was assigned a project in other building where species of fairer sex are much smaller in numbers. After that just chatted with my mentor about the project and company. And so ended my day one in the company. Lets see how it goes from here.

Dude would you kindly elaborate on the authenticity of the "sex ratio" claim of yours, hell 960:1000 sounds promising. Moreover i guess could have given your pen neee.. fingers some more freedom to write about the food in your office.
