First day in Jeans at office

Might be it has been more than one and half years over from now...

Yes...I decided to wear the Jeans one day. I brought jeans and kept that inside for a long time. All my friends started insisting me to wear that. Now I should think of stitching the top (Kurtha type) for the Jeans, as I was feeling uncomfortable to wear short top all of a sudden.

We three (Me, another friend and my room mate) went to a shop to buy the cloth for top. The sales guy started showing different varieties. He was very active, smiling and showing his smartness while talking. We finalized one and told to give about one and half meters. He did the same. We were about to give the money and asked about the cost. For our shock, he told Rs. 410. I couldn’t believe and never thought it may come that costly. I was thinking that it might cost at the most 200 to 250. I didn’t have that much money with me. We can’t go without buying that because it has been cut from the bundle and nobody can reuse the same. I collected the money from my friends and brought. This was the good experience, which realized us that we need to be smart enough in Bangalore while shopping. That day onwards I started calling that top as 420-Top.

After the top is stitched, still I kept that for one week or so. Finally one day I wore that to office with a jacket on top it. Went silently to office and sat in my seat. I don’t want others to notice me in Jeans and start commenting. The guy sitting next to me obviously come to know and started teasing me. Our team size was nearly 10 to 15 members. I looked bit orthodox from the beginning and everybody surprised to see me in Jeans-a sudden change in my dress code. Jeans looked bit loose for few and asked that did I wear Jeans of my brother or father? Someone said it will not suite for me. This was going on. I avoided getting up from the seat most of the time.

Suddenly our onsite coordinator entered our room with his assistant. We were told to gather around including our team manger. I stood behind a cubicle to hide myself from the full view. He started speaking, that he appreciated our team’s work etc etc... Also want to thank for the two people who came forward and did good job among the team members. All of a sudden he called my name. I was not expecting this sudden surprise but now I have to stand in front of the whole team. I was very much embarrassed. Next he called one more colleague. A certificate and a watch have rewarded us. I looked at my Manager with gratitude. I could clearly make out that he controlled himself, not to laugh looking at my dress.

I can never forget the first day in Jeans at office in my life, the reward, also the frank smile of manager towards my dress like other colleagues.
