    About this ebook

    There is a wonderful saying: “The happiest people in the world
    are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live
    with things that are less than perfect.”
    In this highly competitive world, life of corporate work-force is
    full of all kinds of strain and stress. There is no way we can escape
    from our jobs and its work pressure, but we can certainly counter
    it by enriching the fun and laughter quotient at work.
    65 Colours of Rainbow is a collection of sixty-five short stories
    and caricatures based on real life, work-related incidents. This
    pleasingly warm collection writes with terrifying compassion
    about the things that matter most.
    The distinctive narrative caricatures demonstrate how
    extraordinary the ordinary can be!!

      Introduction

      In today’s highly competitive world, I find that the life of an engineer is full of stress and work pressure. Since there is no way we can escape from our jobs, what we can do is make fun and laughter a part of our workplace. Well, all of us have our own funny workplace stories. The funny and weird incidents that take place at work always make us laugh and can lighten one’s mood lessening the negative effects of work related stress on our minds.

      This book will not give you ways to become successful but it will focus on making you understand on how to extract happiness, pleasure and joy from day to day incidents that take place around you at the workplace and how that can turn your workplace into a fun place.

      I will share stories of my colleagues and friends and the weird, but funny incidents, that happened at their workplaces.

      The Chip

      The IT industry has expanded and grown enormously in the past few decades. Though, our older generation is not quite aware of this technology that we work on.

      It was the month of July. This is the time of the year when engineers enter the real world leaving the dream world of their colleges behind. One day, a new recruit, who had joined the organization just a week ago, arrived at the office in a furious state.

      When asked the reason for his anger, he narrated this story. On his way to office, he had called up his native place which was somewhere in Punjab. His mother was enquiring about his general well being and so on. Very excited that he had joined one of the top IT giants in the country, he was sharing his experiences about his new job and people there. His mother, a homemaker, was not able to understand most of the ‘jargon’ that her ‘grown up’ son was using, and asked him to explain what kind of work he was involved in.

      The guy told her with great pride, Mom, I make (design is what he actually meant) chips. These are integrated circuits called ICs.

      In the same breath, his mother replied,
