Certain things are hard to say... But then isn't that why we have blogs?? for people like me.. To just tell what you want.. Dedicated to.....
My last 2 yrs at office have been quite a learning experience...
(Phew!!! Can’t believe some lazy freak like me managed to survive in this competitive, messy world... May be there is a reason to this and thats why this blog...)
And like all people, I don’t know why, I too took some sadistic pleasure in those sweet insulting mails I used to fwd to my team... All those mails related to "Manager Bashing" (That’s the term coined by one of my friend to whom I used to copy all those mails..) I somehow enjoyed it, and am sure my manager must have enjoyed it too, for he would have related the mails to his manager : D
Makes me wonder why mangers are such a hated lot at the work place!!! The people whom we always think do nothing but, send mails and approve time sheets....
As the saying goes... You realize the importance of something, when you lose that thing... Today as I sit to write this, I don’t know if all managers are the same.. But for sure, my manager was somehow one amongst "THE BEST". And am sure most people who have known me ll agree with this for all those moments when I boasted about my manager...
And if anyone reading this is thinking that I am writing all this to "pataaify" my manager, na... you are wrong.. For I no more enjoy the privilege of working with that one person who gave me a whole lot of wisdom...
In my two years at office, I have always enjoyed my work to this day.. But not any more.. Today as I stepped into office, I could feel a new vacuum created around me, and not just me, I could see it on most faces....
I am reminded about the saying from the great poet kabir... “Convert all the trees in this world to paper, and still that would fall short in writing about the greatness of lord”
To me anyone who imparts knowledge, anyone who shows you the right direction is nothing short of that worldly figure... For its only someone who cares for you, who ll stop you when you are doing something wrong, and correct you and show you the right path..
And today I say.. “Convert all the area under the sky into a white board, and that would fall short in writing about this great person....” :)
And if I have come this far in my two years, and if I have achieved anything in this two years.. And if I have learnt something in this two years... All credit goes to this one great person....
None.. Other than that one and only manager of mine.. Vinay... Vinay you are always the best.... :)
And someday... would sure would like to work for you again.....
