“I do not know what this is evidently supposed to be. All I care is I am right, whatever happens...”
- Atul Madiwale or someone ?? !! ??
It
started with a situation, an experience. A past experience, I could not control
the repercussions in an exposed environment – under the bright sunlight with
due respect to all the electric tubes and bulbs in the late hours of the day. I
do apologise for the synonyms used though they are most apposite.
It
starts with the composed and closed connections that I shared with a person, in
person. Everyone is equally fortunate enough to meet different personalities in
a single day, and so am I. I used to start my day with 1 hour, day-time
travelling and 1.5 hours night-time travelling. Though the distance was same,
the time taken to cover the same distance never been the same. Sometimes the
time used to get stretched up to 2 hours or may be more. The reason being my
mental status at that hour of the day.
Like
I said, few years ago, I was young, unlike professionals. The young blood,
where one does not need any help, does not seek for any help, does not pray for
any help and nor beg for any help. So was I, equally demonstrative. The
dynamics of creativity, jovial nature and explicit ideology were my loyal colleagues.
The nourishment of every plant requires periodical treatments where it needs
professional gardener and the meticulous gardening process to be called as
presentable!!!
Process
in any organization is meant to be uni-directional. If the process is defined
as ‘left – to – right’ then it should be operated ‘left – to – right ’.
Reporting authority should ensure the processes are followed as directed.
Everybody aims high and professionalism comes with high risks, with guidance !!!
I decided to listen to elders, seniors and veterans. This move was not directional and also was not parallel to my route. I had my ways of giving back and so I was reluctant to follow the guidelines as these guidelines were not in-sync with the process charts which were shared with me on the first day of joining. Sad in’ne ??
Initially,
it was 1 hour, heading journey to the work place and the returning journey as
well. Later as the process charts and guidelines started conflicting, the
returning journey started adding minutes to the morning heading journey. More
heads started guiding the process, eventually adding to the conflicts and this,
conveniently kept adding minutes further to my returning journey.
The
behaviour at the workplace improved to such an obvious level that if the senior
is taking time, it is careful and thorough approach to situation and me taking
time was considered as slow. Any tasks not completed from my end, I was
considered as lazy and seniors for the same situation were considered to be too
busy. If me taking different route without informing anyone, I was considered
to be acting too smart and the same, if done by the seniors, were appreciated
as an initiative to complete the given task.
Nothing
could be changed and all I was advised, as a solution, to get acclimatized with
the situation. Believing this to be the only solution to the situation, the
moulding process started getting defined yard-by-yard. I understood, not to
make any changes and accept the changes with a smile on the face. This
behaviour unknowingly developed a tendency to let the things happen. I
developed an unmistakable ability of enjoying every moment. Everyone noticed
that I had developed a loss of ability to worry. Overwhelming episodes of
appreciation were getting consistently consistent. With acceptance to follow
the said route, I started showing loss of interest in conflicts. This reached
to such an extent that I lost the interest of judging others. I started getting
frequent attacks of smiles and started feeling connected with others and nature
as well.
After
spending a sustainable tenure in the corporate, everyone started appreciating my
capability to tackle situations and for me, I had actually started enjoying and
experiencing “Spiritual Awakening” !!!
