Trainee Pharmacist - The Super Hero (Specially for AKU Trainees)

A Trainee is a person who carries the superpowers of many Superheroes in one. He is like a Gola-Ganda of Superheros.He has the superpowers of Spiderman, The Transporter, The Chota from the Mechanic etc.Following are some superpowers of a Trainee

Spidey Sense 

it is generally used to mean a vague but strong sense of something being wrong, dangerous, suspicious, a security situation.A Trainee should posses this spidey sense so he can sense that when the change is going to arrive at the Bank and once you missed the stimulus of the spidey sense you’re going to be doomed. 

The Transporter 

Transport one item from one Satellite to another satellite sound easy but it is not that easy as it sounds like. It’s become very difficult when you are transporting 3 items from or to 3 different satellites and remembering to debit and credit it. It’s like solving a Samurai Sudoku. What you need is skill of a Transporter still you can’t afford to be as egoistic as Jason Statham in the movie because you’re not driving an Audi A8 while transporting these items.

The Chota

You people might be thinking that the Chota is not a superhero. Yes Chota is not a Superhero even Chota doesnot have any comic book published yet but soon it will be in the stores. Chota is the upcoming superhero from Pakistan. Chota has a superpower of frequently ending up doing those activities which he shouldn’t be doing.Every now and then you’ll be listening to the phrases like  

“Oye Chotay! Critical tau kar day yar “ 

“Oye Chotay! Coins tau bana day yar” 

“Oye Chotay! Mera Cash tau Submit karwa dena yar” 

“Oye Chotay! Tu bara kab hoga yar?” 

`The Guru 

The Trainee is the one who can do things which no one can do or you can say like that The Trainee is the one who had to do things which no one wants to do Like separating a pile of coins worth 100 from a pile of coins worth 1000 following a specified protocol (and that protocol is a variable which changes from Place to Place or Person to Person). 

  

Lord of the Tape Ball 

This Lord of the Tape Ball is not a person but it’s basically an interesting story. Following is the story of the Lord of the Tape ball narrated by him with a similar desperation as you people have seen in the skyshops ads. 

Lord of the Tape Ball:  I was very worried about my low self esteem. Whenever I use to play cricket with my friends at roadside I was always insulted by them because I don’t know how to tape a tennis ball. I was so worried that I think of committing suicide but one day I was informed by the training coordinator that next month you are selected to be trained for compounding. I never knew that taping the compounding bottles I am passively learning to tape a tennis ball. Now I am very happy it’s just like achieving the inner peace I Love my life Thank You Compounding. 

Conclusion 

I think now you people have understood its how cool to be a trainee and you are not a novice you are a superhero dealing with  different and new situations everyday and every situation is pulling a out the hero within you.
