PLAYING THE WAITING GAME...
Splitters, connectors and 10db couplers
even telecom engineers were oblivious of...Maybe because they were just random terms
out of many 1000 words used by the prof!!

But they were a part of Capital Work-in-Progress
which was putting a telecom company in a spot
And in that company, sat a commerce grad...
wondering over stuff he was never taught!!

Do the couplers prove the coupling theory??
and what are the splitters supposed to split?
One thing he was totally sure of...for this training, he wasn't the perfect fit!!

He spent his days at the sites
and dusty warehouse was where he went...
studied the IBS and the GBT
and on reading the Systra, his time was spent!

This onsite-offsite worked out well
got a fair idea of what was to be done...
with holding period and WACC worked out
the outcome was no less than a blazing gun!

Churned out excels, word docs and PPTs
to substantiate with numbers, all those complications...
the fact remains, the MBAs know just one thing
with MS Office at their tips, to make fancy presentations!

Seems like all went well for him...
Easier said than done, I'd say
He met 20 different people but one thing in common
"I'll be back in 5, sorry but just stay"

Should have expected this as a trainee
to be honest, no one was to blame...
sitting in the cubicle, and tired of it
he had no choice, but to play the waiting game!!
