Working for a Startup and indulging in Social Drinking (Personal Opinion, No generalistaion)
A friend of mine was working for a startup(still working) and posted this picture on her instagram profile.
Just when my mom was beside me, this happens to come along on my screen.
Mom: Who is she?
Me: A friend of mine.
Mom: What does she do?
Me: She’s working, why?
Mom: Just asking!
*After a while*
Mom: Show me that picture again.
Me: Why mom? What happened? She’s just a friend, not my girlfriend.
Mom: I know son. She’s not your girlfriend. You don’t…. (she stopped)
*Suddenly time stopped. Life stopped. Everything was a frame.*
I decided not to dig it further and showed her the picture.
Mom: Where is this picture from?
Me: Her office, but why are you so worried. Apko kya lena dena?
Mom: But drinking in office?
Me: It’s a Startup.
Mom: What’s a Startup? Is it the name of the company?
Me: I’ll explain it to you later mom. Can I have something to eat?
*Trying to dodge something from your mother. Tell her you’re hungry. May not work for all mothers though.*
Mom brings me food and yet again.
Mom(in a sharp tone): Bhala ye kaunsa office hai jo beer pilata hai! (But what is this office which serves beer!)
I have explained her the concept of Startup but she’s still not convinced with the beer funda.
I never open Facebook or Instagram when my mother is around.
Clarification Edit (For the comment section): For all those who misunderstood, I never meant to say that there exists a relationship between a Startup(I do understand what it is!) and a Beer. It was just a reflex. When I explained the concept of a Startup to my mom, I never related drinking beer to Startup.
Further, there is no way we are eligible enough to decide if it is right or wrong to drink at work. It totally depends on the person as well a the office. Personal Choice.
The Startup is not promoting beer here. Not in anyway.
