The charming receptionist gave Mythili all information
related to her training. Mythili felt a river of enthusiasm flowing through her
body. She is bit thrilled too. She is going to meet her ‘Colleagues’. But above
all, she had mentally prepared herself to face new people. She had decided not
to go for any Best Friend / Close Friend kind of stuff and to concentrate only
on her career. The relationship she had decided to maintain with her
‘Colleagues’ has been called by her as ‘Professional Relationship’. (What on
earth is this?!).
She saw few buddies waiting in the training room. She rushed
and occupied one of the seats next to girl who had dressed up much similar to
her. She is bit afraid of and reluctant towards girls who are very Modern in
their dressing sense.
The training started with good introduction about the
company, followed by technical training. She made sure that she performs well
in the training and gain maximum knowledge. All she knew during her training
was her trainer and the computer allotted to her. She completed all her
assignments on time and stood first in the final assessment after training.
“Thank you my dear God! I have achieved my first milestone
of excellence in training. Now that I am allotted into this project and please
be there by my side to support me to achieve my next milestone of excellence at
work. Hey I need to tell this to you. I have so many such milestones ok? I will
tell them one by one to you. I don’t want to confuse you. Bubye”. This was her
instructions (so called prayer!!!) to lord Ganesh idol in her room, on the
first day of work after training.
She was puzzled to know about her first team. As per the
instructions, she approached her Manager, got her cubicle and got brief
information about the work. Her Manager introduced to her immediate boss, Arun.
Arun is a young dynamic chap with 2+ years of experience in the industry. He is
always sticks a smile in his mouth. Curly hair, cool specs, not too tall, not
too lean and very attractive. “Wow! This guy is too handsome”, felt Mythili.
But, “No Mythili! You are here for work. It is bad to have such thoughts….
Forgive me God!”, was her reaction towards herself.
Arun introduced Mythili to the Team. The team consisted of Anitha,
Jenny, Jaya, Vivek and Vinodh. Anitha is bit less than replica of Mythili.
“Thank you God!”. Jenny is too lavishing in her formal suit. “Hmmm… how these
girls are so pale, but claim themselves fair?”. Jaya is not so modern like
Jenny but not so homely too. “She is ok”. Vivek always stares at the monitor
with headphones plugged in his ears all the time. “Is he fine? Anything wrong
with him?”. Vinodh is a cool guy. No worries, no pains and life is only full of
fun for him. “How can a guy be so cool? Sounds like he is very irresponsible?”.
Her cubicle is in the middle of the team. To her left sits
Jenny and to her right sits Arun. “God! Arun is seated next to me. How can I
work effectively and reach my next milestone?.... No Mythili! You are here for
achieving in life and not for losing yourself in the game of life”.
Arun explained various modules involved in the project. He
allotted some work for her. She is thrilled to take up her first module. Arun
explained her about the module she need to finish and gave an ending note,
“Mythili, don’t get frightened. It is you first job and first module. I am
always there for you. I shall always help you!”. She was moved by his words.
