Daughter and S.T.O.R.A.G.E

I remember those initial days which I had spent in my first company. I had no clue that a bachelors degree in engineering could land me in one of the hottest domains in the IT industry. My dad, who is a master degree holder in Economics, and my mom, who chose to provide service to her fellow human beings on earth, by practicing as a doctor, had absolutely no clue either. Since I knew that it would be difficult for me to explain the concept of ‘domain’ in the IT field and to let them know exactly how I serve my employer with the level of knowledge I have, I did not bother revealing the exact nature of my work. Instead I conveniently chose to inform them that my work revolves around S.T.O.R.A.G.E (which was the name of the domain I was in).

When I went to pay them a visit, a few months later, i came to realize that I had made a terrible mistake. Our relatives and family friends seemed to know everything regarding my work! After the initial round of “vishesham parachil”, like we call it in Malayalam, they told me that they are impressed with how I have grown so quickly from a school-going little girl to a full fledged working woman. Later in the day, I realized that my dad had given the world a lot of incorrect notions about my employment. Everybody thought that I was working on refrigerators (which is considered to be a S.T.O.R.A.G.E product). Can u believe that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me a while to get hold of my senses and convince my dad that I was dealing with disk drives and computers which are used for data S.T.O.R.A.G.E.

So much for being proud of being in one of the hottest domains of the IT industry!!!

P.S. I am looking for volunteers to expand S.T.O.R.A.G.E in the most captivating manner ;)
