🍬 The Great HCL Sweet Heist (Gone Wrong 😅)

So here’s what happened today at HCL Tech, Noida — and honestly, I’m still laughing (and lowkey embarrassed).

It was lunchtime, and I went down to the cafeteria like any normal hungry employee. Suddenly, I saw a mysterious distribution happening — people were getting boxes that looked suspiciously like free gifts or sweets. Obviously, curiosity (and hunger) won.

I joined the line like a responsible citizen of HCL Nation, got my box, and thought, “Nice! Company ne finally kuch sweet diya!” 😎

But wait — there was another line nearby. This one had bigger, more colorful boxes. And my inner voice whispered, “Bhai, ye wala toh premium lag raha hai…”

So I did what any new joiner with FOMO would do — joined that line too. 😅

Just when I was about to secure my second sweet victory, I noticed people weren’t allowed to take two boxes. So I quickly tried to hide the first box (Ninja mode: ON 🥷).

But then — tragedy struck. A guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere like an HR Avenger and said:

“Excuse me! Why are you taking it twice?”

Before I could say anything, he asked for my SAP ID, manager’s name, and then — plot twist — took away both boxes. 💀

Apparently, those gifts were for a specific project team, not everyone. And me? A newly joined, innocent soul, caught red-handed in the “Great Sweet Scandal of HCL Noida.”

Now I’m sitting here empty-handed, wondering — • Was it karma? • Was it bad luck? • Or was it HCL’s secret test to see who gets tempted by free sweets? 😂

Anyway, lesson learned: If you ever see free boxes in cafeteria — confirm before queuing up.
