Part-4 , My honeymoon period as a salesman

After 4 months , I found myself in a 2nd class AC coach of Rajdhani express. Since it was mentioned in our call latter that the company would reimburse 2nd class A.C. fair , I decided to utilize it completely . I sat on the internet and searched for the most expensive train from Delhi to Bangalore within in the realm of my right and it turned out to be Rajdhani. So for the first time in my life I was in Rajadhani, ( Till then, I used to travel in sleeper class only) and started dreaming about the training period . I was sure that I would be provided a complete A.C. SINGLE room in a kind of five star hotel and would be treated like a prince as I was going to join as a manager ( who gives a damn to "relationship") .
Having these thoughts in my mind, I got down at Bangalore station and took a cab to reach the mentioned address in the call letter. After half an hour, the cab reached at a place where I was not able to see a five start hotel . Well, I thought that five star hotel would be hidden somewhere and it is better to ask someone . I went to a shopkeeper and enquired about the address .He lifted his finger towards a big old building . After seeing that building I found my dreams starting to get scattered. Somehow I was able to control my feelings and reached the reception ( if this is the word used for a man sitting on a chair at the entrance ) . I mentioned my name as if I was a prince for whom they were waiting for years . He asked me to note down my name in a register. I glanced through it and found already 30 names were mentioned over there. I was asked to follow . Well.. the hotel was not that bad and the expectation that at least I would get a single room with AC, consoled me. We stopped at room no 179 .The Door was looking good and again I started fantasizing about my new single dream room but I think God was in bad mood when I found that instead of using the keys to open the room he started knocking at the door and I heard the voice of door being opened. A fat boy was standing in front of me and I was told that he was going to be my roommate . After realizing that fact, I went inside the room and found that it was worse than my own room at my home . If any room with a T.V. can be called a five star , then ya.. I stayed in a fivestar room.
I said hi to my roomie and communicated that it is always good to have roommate as you don’t feel alone. He reverted back in the same line to me because he didn’t have a choice and it is taught to us that when you cant do anything , you have to be happy with the present situation . After sometime a paper was provided to us ,stating that we all need to report at 9’o clock , next day at CDC . I asked Manoj ( my roommate ) about the CDC. He told me that it was very near to our hotel . Well.. after having a bad day, I started dreaming about my training and started waiting impatiently for next day to come.
