Life, Thoughts

That little tinge of kindness

August 2017.
It was a usual day at work.
I went to the Operations Head, asking to share the records and documents needed for my work.

Back then, I used to work as an Internal Auditor, and the core job was visiting branches and conducting audits, with the help of branch operations team.

This fine day, as I was going back to my desk after talking with the Operations Head, when she called my name and said, “You always look stunning!”

And it took a moment for my mask of “follow me I am the auditor” to more of a humble, kinder human.

That of course, didn’t affect my work, however, it did tell me that it’s super important to appreciate people for their little things.

As my bosses used to say: “Neither of you are against each other, you both are working for the bank.”

PS: If you do not want AI to replace you, learn from this girl who showed the human side of her.

PPS: No, it didn’t affect my report however it did affect how I reflect on life.

And that’s super important 🙂

The dal rice syndrome

Each time I cook dal rice, invariably this episode happens:

I put the dal in one pressure cooker and put on the flame.

Next, repeat with rice.

Both the pressure cookers have been put to heat at the same time.

With a small difference:

The pressure cooker containing dal, has already had three whistles, while the one containing rice hasn’t had a single one till now.

The cooker with dal is preparing for its fourth and final one, while all of a sudden, the one with rice blows its four whistles back to back.

After this, the dal also gives its fourth whistle and both the flames are shut off.

Here’s the lesson this preparation teaches me every single day:

It may take time for your whistle to metaphorically blow, yet when it does, it’s just the best one.

Be patient and keep up your hard work, all will be fine at the end, as it did to rice.
