Is it when we laugh together at something silly? Or, is it when we share a pain affecting one but shared equally and silently? Or, is it when we have fun, drink, dine, dance, play around? Or, is it when we simply love a song or a tune and hum to it quietly, very aware of our tuneless humming? Or, is it when we argue like crazy, split up and then make up when better thinking prevails? Or, is it when we see the other one objectively and offer advice and criticism without being asked for? Or,is it simply being together watching television, reading a book or cooking and chatting inside the kitchen? Or, just calling up to say hi and nothing else in particular? Or, may be call and have so much to say but not able to and yet the other one understands there is something wrong, even without being told?

| Amitava Tewari Three of us joined Genpact when the company advertised that it was welcoming senior employees. We lived in Delhi and Gurgaon was not far away. The training was good except that the trainers were young enough to be our daughters. Hahaha! I remember I cried and howled on the last day of my training when I was going through a mock situation. My trainer, Bhaswati came with me to the rest room, calmed me down and spoke about my great experiences in the airlines and hotels and gave me courage. Thank you Bhaswati. Honestly I was so ashamed that I would not be a success compared to the younger generation who were our batch mates. Well, so far so good. Amitava was chosen for the USA process and Kiran and I were handed over to the UK process. I remember Kiran and I resigned more or less together. Amitava had repeatedly warned me not to do so. I did not heed her advice. friends - why do we take each other so lightly and not pay attention? Today, 30/1/2019, I miss both of you. I can't just pick up the phone and expect to hear your voices. No more discussions about spirituality, talking about the good, bad and the ugly that has happened to me through the day, discussing crap or politics, laughing at silly stuff, or dismissing some stupid acts of ours, or getting some sound practical advice (especially from Amitava) or anything and everything under the sun or to the moon and back, arguing and exchanging opinions, and so many other things. Yeah, guys it gets lonely at times. Especially, now with this intruder called cancer in my body, there is no one I can share very, very private moments. Things I cannot share with anyone else. you guys know what I mean. So, yes you are right Kiran, I talk to God and Guruji Krishnandaji. And Amitava, Bhaiyya got in touch with me through facebook. Your grand daughter is growing up to be a pretty lass. I am sure you can see them all from where you are. God bless your souls, dear friends. Love. |
