My Experiences with People : Swe...

I don’t remember exactly when I met her. But she came into our Process as a team leader of media ops team. When she came in it never made me feel any change in the floor. I just felt she is just another team leader on the floor. Even today I don’t remember exact place and time or date how we got to know each other so well. Probably Robin was the one who introduced us.

What I remember is there were many good looking, gorgeous or beautiful girls in the team and always enjoyed looking at them during the breaks.;-) Once we were introduced to each other, there was no one who could stop us from knowing each other.

Every day, we would go to the Café Coffee Day in the Infosys campus or the Terminal food court, have some tea or coffee or some snacks and talk all possible gossips. I would take the topic to Politics which I love the most and she hates it the most. Every month at least once we would visit the Subway and relish the subs there. When we had known each other so well the time had come to depart and I chose to get transferred to Delhi. But the distance could not be a barrier. We would call each other at least once a week and speak for hours together. Many a times my roommates felt that I am speaking to my girlfriend.

We both shared every happenings of our life, good, bad, personal or impersonal. Whatever that comes to our mind we would share with each other. There is not a single day that we have not fought. Our conversation would be incomplete without a “Thu” from her.

She is such a great friend to me that I would not afford lose her and I found her in Infosys. She is none other than “Swetha N Kadam”.

As a colleague, she has always shared her views on team management and as a veteran to me in management has always guided me in my managerial actions whenever I have asked for a help.

Most important role she has played in life is in the form of Critic. Probably her blunt criticisms have honed my personalities to this extent. Many a times before taking a decision I would think if Swetha was here what would be her question to me and what would I answer to her?

As I said earlier, we shared every aspect our life and she was always a support throughout my tough times in my personal life. Supported in every step I took and cautioned when it was a wrong one. Even when I decided to quit the job get into higher studies, she posed as many questions as possible which would come in my student life and ensured that I am ready for any kind of troubles I would be facing.

Swetha – a character in my life which gave many special moments but what I learnt professionally is “Work-Life Balance”. Personally, everyday is a new learning with her.

Even today we both use ourselves as punching bags and stress busters and Vijay, the Virus joins with us. Vijay will be a part of coming episodes.

Love you Buddy! Sorry, but could not resist from sharing this precious part of my life in this blog. And the worst part is that we have never a clicked photo together!!
