This one ... i wanted to write long back.Just now found some right time for it!I met an interesting person in Chennai during February.Its about that informal meet.I applied for a job in Karur and that link somehow moved to chennai via that organisation and i got a call from the Chennai's organisation for working with children.The project seemed to be wonderful and i collected more info about it through one of my friend.I had a great feeling that i am going to be happy for another few years by working with his organisation which concentrates on children.
I was called for an informal meet with this interesting person on Sunday since i was free only on Sundays during last year.I started very early in the morning and reached little late due to the traffic.I somehow struggled and managed to arrive the place on my own. The place was so interesting!It looked like our home .... i mean " Beautiful Home".I waited for him for a while and we started our conversation with an intro about him and the organisation.
I spoke about my interests, dreams,academics,experiences, etc.... it went on and on and the conversation went for about two hours.Such a wonderful learning!The person i met has done his graduation from IIT and worked for a few months in a company in engineering sector. Since it doesn't suit him, he quit the job and taught mathematics for governmenet school children just for his satisfaction and service.Then he worked in a private school for a while and at last with the organisation i went for. Coooooooooool Chap!
Due to certain constraints, I was not able to take up the job immediately.I asked for some time to decide upon the job, thanked him for giving me a great oppurtunity to learn and share my experiences and i was about to leave the office. When i started,he invited for lunch.Initially i was not so keen, but then said ok!We went to a small place nearer to office ... a north indian place and again ... it looked like our home.But for me .. it looked like an heaven. A small place with such a nice people working in.The place was made of wood and bamboo.Very Cool! I had a simple and wonderful food with some buttermilk!I never had such a buttermilk before!Again i had an amazing learning from him but in different aspects of life based on his experiences.
I was not able to work with him since i had some constraints in moving to Chennai for certain reasons.But i really missed a great oppurtunity to work with nice people.I don't regret for it.Its my decision and it is worth always.I hope i would get an another chance to work with nice people like him in future!Hats off to this person!
