My Summer Holidays 2012

Come the month of April,

When we were little,

It was nothing but summer holidays

But now, in my articleship it is nothing but due dates and all working days!

Prepare work papers and exemplify your ignorance

And ensure that you owe your previous year work papers allegiance: D

Do cash counts and stock counts

And if they don’t match, perform re-counts :D

Get used to the RAAP and MAPs to be filled up

And live out of countless coffee cups :D

Tell the client that the figures don’t tally

When he says it won’t cuz he gave you the third backup of ERP Tally

After which he has passed countless entries

And he is going to give the sixth backup with more ambiguities :D

Ask your senior a doubt

Only to be told that they are busy and give you a big clout

Helpless first years, :D

I- know-but-I- dunno- second years, :D

I-know- but- I dunno-how to explain it final years :D

Raise queries and research before you do

Cuz our brilliant revelations have already been raised previous year, dodo :D

Order the best of lunches but eat them two hours late

And forget mom’s yumm food till the signing date :D

Only when am used to seeing the financials in a particular format

I get to see the revised version and adapt

Revised Schedule VI

Oh! My life is so going for a six

Notes and cross-referencing

Check for errors and if you don’t find them, do an entire casting and totaling

If you still can’t get enough of it, get your hands on the Schedules

And find errors miniscule

And satisfy yourself about the number crunching and disclosures

And keep doing encores

Start wasting paper while taking clumsy Seventh Final set of Financials print-outs

And get reminder calls from your Trainer that you have skipped all days of your work-out

Brace yourself for the Grand Finale

The most anticipated event called ‘signing the financials’ after which we think it’s time for regale

Of course we are wrong

Archivals are the order of the day and don’t ever prolong

Sit late and do the needful

You are helpless and your hand AS-2 and manual files full

You slog and work it out

A break without

You emerge with injuries, none colossal

And you send a leave request mail to your manager for his ‘perusal’

Which he dismisses because you are off to your next

And the whole process starts all over again in full zest :D :D
