  212. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I think he is going to send me motivational messages every day.

Fuck.

18 August 2006

8.50 p.m.

I am beginning to regret letting Sachin move in with me. I only let him move in because he owned a TV, a microwave oven and an LPG cylinder from HP. It is impossible to get a new cylinder in Mumbai these days.

But if I knew how insecure he was about his job I would NEVER have let him move in. Sachin is so jealous of me. And it’s not like I am arrogant or anything. I have never mentioned the fact that I make at least one and a half times as much money as he does. (Without taking into account bonus or reimbursements.) And I’ve not spoken of Gouri to him since last week.

What does he see in me that makes him so jealous and insecure?

Today Jerry gave everyone in Dufresne a small bottle of wine. Someone who used to work with Klashco, one of our old clients, recently started a wine import business and he sent a few cartons of small bottles to the office. I took a bottle of white wine. But as soon as I came home and showed Sachin the bottle he began to whine about how cool consulting was and how we screwed over clients to make money and how it was such an overrated profession … blah blah blah!

I tried to laugh along for a while. Then I got really pissed off and locked myself in my room.

I am not trying to be arrogant or anything, but I think Sachin is just jealous that I got a Day Zero job. He had interned with Morgan Stanley for summers but didn’t get a PPO because he completely screwed up his academics in his second year. And then during final recruitments he didn’t get a single Day Zero shortlist.

I don’t get why he is trying to take out his frustration on me, though. Whenever we have friends over all he does is take digs at consulting and banking. The bastard has been selling coffee powder for three weeks now in the Crawford Market area as part of his first-year sales rotation.

I am sorry if that is frustrating for him, especially when he sees that I’ve become a Jet Air Silver Card holder already since joining Dufresne a few months ago. But it’s his fault for choosing all the marketing courses in second year.

Overall I just don’t like his attitude. If he has such a problem why doesn’t he go and live with all the other marketing and FMCG types in Vashi or something?

Tomorrow let me try again for a gas connection. If it comes through then maybe I can ask him to move out after a while. This thing is not going to work out like this.

Work is going well but a little slow. We’re now making a business plan for the university. Babykutty is our official contact with the Tantra team.
