Clueless

Something very weird happened to me few days back .I say weird, because, right now I really don’t have any explanation for it.

My new work place is very nice and everyone in general has made it a point to make me and Abhishek(he joined the organization with me) very welcome. There is this one colleague of mine, who according to me, actually went out her way to get us accustomed to the whole new environment. Now right after I joined, I got to know, that she had resigned and was serving her notice period. A bond formed between us, because I suppose she could understand what my apprehensions were, as she herself was embarking on to a new career. We have had few talks, really long one’s where she passed on her wisdom, and gave me tips on how to avoid pitfalls and stuff.

The day she was leaving, we had a small get together, where she was asked to talk a little about her experience in the company…..it was a touching speech, and for a few seconds I did think, it would have been nice to know this person better. And then suddenly, I really don’t know why, tears welled up inside me.

I have no explanation to it, because, I had not really formed a bond that close. Why I don’t really understand is, I am basically not such an emotional person. Things bother me, but those are things that pertain to my very near and dear one’s. I am not indifferent but I am no crybaby too. My other colleague’s have made it a point to not let me forget this embarrassment. I heard somebody say, “humne socha tha ki tum star plus ho, tum tho doordarshan nikli”. Please don’t ask me to explain, what that meant.

My last blog was about Goodbye’s!!! and this just seemed such an irony. I hope this is just one of those very rare happenings…but if this means, it is going to become a trend, than God save me!!!!!!!
