Dipti Mu.. Our loving Haddi, Haddu, Bhootni… ;-)
When she came into Infosys, she joined as an executive for
AMS team which was about to launch as a Super Power. Very talkative and
enthusiastic girl had created a doubt in my mind, will this girl sustain the
work pressure. Anoop was the SME for West AM Support team and I was the senior
most member of the team. Dipti, Noor, Vinod KK, Vinod Pagadala, Sheetal Kadam,
Vrida Ullagaddi and some more had joined the AMS team. The team had grown to
40+ from 10 and cruising with new milestones to be set. I was known to be the
“Khadoos” by my team members for my serious gesture and attitude. I was being
too tough on them when they were in the training period.
Dipti, though was very casual, found to be fun loving and
jovial character was very serious with her work. In a short time, she proved
her potential and won everyone hearts. On the day of Raksha Bandhan in 2007,
she came with a rakhi and asked if she can tie it to me. Normally, I never
value these “Rakhi Relationships” having witnessed several “drama” about it and
never accept any rakhi from anyone other than my sisters. But, when Dipti came
to me and said she wants to tie rakhi to me, I offered my hands to her rakhi
without even thinking for a moment. There was some aura that covered me at that
moment.
Since then, every Raksha Bandhan, she sends me a Rakhi
wherever we are and ensures that I have received it. Yesterday, 14th
July 2013, on the occasion of her wedding, there was a ritual where, the bride
is to be escorted by the brother to the room for getting ready. In spite of her
brothers’ presence, she asked me to escort her and her mom insisted too. That
was a heart touching moment for me and I was literally speechless. She has
given me a moment which I never expected in my life.
One thing I learnt from her is to keep in touch with
everyone anywhere you are, but haven’t been successful till date. I really
wonder how she could do it this long. Her blunt words and emotional support to
friends when needed makes everyone miss her in her absence. One can hate her
but cannot ignore her.
Behna – You are really a gift from the God. Love You! Wish
you a Happy Married Life!!!
Excellent! Beautiful.......
