Night Shift a Nightmare !!

There is one more night I am going to pass tonight ,it is yet same as the previous countless nights I have spent sitting in my cubicle.It is the same dark dull,drowsy and insomniac shift which I always hated. But God is so kind that he listened my anti-wish and awarded me with this work schedule.Night shifts are the really weirdest,ugliest and scary shift ever made. You loose all the fun people do working in regular shift,you keep dreaming of waking up early in the mornings ,having Bed-tea ,king size breakfast and then lunch in the noon and here comes the EOD (So called End of the Day) when clocks ticks 5pm you feel relaxed start packing your stuff of your desk and with feel filled with delights of spending precious moments at evening tea with your family. The above routine is usual stuff of a regular shift working employee there is nothing special about it,and they don't actually realise the importance of it.Its a fact importance is realized by those who don't have it. This is simple categorized in two categorise Have's and Have Not's.I fall in later one. The day when I joined my organisation I was so glad that finally I would not be working like owls in nights,at least I might be working in Mid shifts which are still tolerable. But as I said by God's grace I was thrown in to Graveyard shift,the shift which every employee hates except those who see it is an opportunity to make more bucks by loosing their normal human life. Working the graveyard shift forces the body to operate counter to its circadian rhythm, the internal clock that tells us when we should be sleeping and when we should wake. Two decades back working in Night shifts was only considered to be the job of a watchman,police officers,Army men,manufacturing industrial units which require 24*7 support. But post 90's after globalization and IT revolution ,Indian employers turned to be ITEeS support industry,which definitely gave millions of jobs to employable graduates,but the other face of the coin is that this rat race of ITeS services made Indian youth more like Service Support providers. We are supposed to work as per Client requirements,we are driven by Clients.This Client-Server architecture is making Indian IT minds blunt.We never think of entrepreneurship,we are happy doing service for clients ,and more happy when switching from one job to another which is a popular culture of IT.

So without diverting from our main topic ,lets get back to the point,that this hazardous shift is gift for many by our so called US counterparts for whom we work sleeplessly whole night. A research also showed that most night workers were unaware of the risks associated with their shift patterns. So there was a clear need for employers to raise awareness of the risks of night working among workers and those responsible for managing their shift patterns and working environments. But fact is that no such organisation does that,we are compensated with meager amount of allowance,for which we sacrifice our regular normal life. Whatever,are the consequences we are succumbed to work like this,as most of Indian IT work is outsourced from foreign clients and we have to fullfill their dependency, because we are paid for the same.So No complaints at all!! This is totally our choice. But still I feel jealous of all those who are soundly sleeping in their cozy beds and I am writing all this crap on my notepad,I should not forget that once I also enjoyed sleeping at Nights !! :)
