Someone I used to know...

A fun-loving guy in my office, my junior in fact - quite bubbly, always finding shortcuts, saying "kya fark padta h mam kaam to ho gya na". These are one of lovely memories I have of my office. My office; it brings a lot of memories however I want to focus on the particular ones related to the one I'm talking about.

Dishant - what should I say about him. He is a jolly person but a typical Delhiite, anyone can tell that. I still remember I met him for the first time on his first day of our office. I gave him a little training regarding the work he would be assigned to. And I must say he had so much to ask. I wonder either I am not able to explain everything completely or it's just his habit. But whatever it was, at least I knew how much he understood so I guess that's a good thing; right?

As the time passed by, I found out he was starting his career and thus, giving his cent percent. He lived quite far from the office and it used to take near 2 hrs for him to reach home. Still, he used to sit late in the office to share the workload. Because of his talkative nature, we soon became good friends and I always used to teach him that office is not everything. You should do work but don't give up your everything for it. And I used to always quote that common saying "The Company was working before you and it will work even after you. So don't stop living your life for it." I always used to explain him how he should find a job nearby his place and dedicate himself over there. But he never listened.

And then came a shock, he was called in to inform that he was not needed by the Company anymore. In spite of all his efforts and dedications, he was asked to resign from his position. I was upset, very upset. He was a quick-learner everyone can tell that. He had a laid-back attitude but still he used to finish all the tasks assigned to him on time. He used to share the workload equally, no matter how much he got suffered because of this. His dedication din't paid off, that was hurting me a lot. I tried to sort out the situation but I messed it up even more. And then it was final, he had to leave anyway after serving a notice period of one month.

His one month notice period was the time when we actually became good friends. I came to know a lot about his life, the seriousness in him hidden behind his jolly nature. He expressed all his good and bad time experiences. At that time, I had a cold war with one of my friends and he always used to encourage me to amend my relationships giving me lectures on friendship. He was the only one forcing me again and again to take proper breaks during office hours. He kinda used to drag me to the cafeteria with him.

I knew I'm gonna miss him and I actually did. It was nice to work with him. It was pleasure to be his mentor even for few days. He says I taught him a lot but I don't know, I think he is the one who taught me. He taught me to be funny even under enormous pressure. He taught me to be dedicated at any cost; to do anything for the things I want to achieve in my life. I know we're on parted ways but I also know that we'll be in touch forever. God Bless him and impart him the success he deserves.

I have so many things and so many memories to share but that will convert this blog into a mini book. It's better to stop myself here and conclude this Blog. At last I just want to thank him, Thanks a lot. Thank you for being so much patient and dedicated which resulted into the completion of this blog. It would have not been possible without you. Thank you ;)
