Something Funny and Interesting

Something funny and interesting happened a week back when I was on the way back after the regular lunch at office. There are several eat-outs available to serve the different taste buds those have come from various parts of our country. There is one in circular shape and I had lunch there that day.

I got a glimpse of somebody while scanning and walking with a friend. I knew that person. I have met her and I have spoken to her before. Who could be she? Yes. I remember her. She is my ex-manager. She was my manager in mid 2001.

I just waved my hand to her to gain her attention and succeeded in that. She came towards me with a smile.

Regular ice breaking hello statements and “how are you” questions were exchanged. Our last meet was in my previous company and she left that company 4 years back. I am meeting her after 4 years.

She was happy to know I am a manager now. And I asked what is she her, thinking something high with her rich experience. But to my surprise she also joined the company as a manager.

Due to some personal reasons she didn’t work in between and joined this company recently.

Yes. This is interesting news. But what is funny about it?

I was just above the entry level software engineer when I was working with her. My performance was considered and recorded very bad her (but my previous manager was happy with my performance). I was told enough moral stories to boost my performance, confidence and what not. In fact my mistake was also there but not to the extent it was projected. I decided to change my project and prove myself and moved to another project where I had to work so hard. I used to leave office around 11PM at one stage. My mom who was in Bangalore was so annoyed with this. At one state my health was breaking.

Again I decided to change the group and did it. Then I planned every step properly and polished my approach as much as possible. And I have reached this level with the grace of Lord Murugan.

Do I need to say anything more?

Regards,
Ragavan
