Truth Triumphs

Two days back a wonderful news made my day… When I joined my current company, I was very apprehensive while joining my first project. It was a domain which I didn’t have any knowledge about and with people whom I had never interacted with. But my team leader was a very understanding person, she not only gave me time to adjust to the domain, but would patiently answer all my doubts. Even if that meant working a little late than the scheduled time… Time and again I used to badger her with questions and she would patiently explain me.. And the more she explained, the more curious I became.We shared a good camaraderie till I got transferred to another project. What I took back from my earlier project was a mentor, a person whom I could relate to, no matter what my query was, personal or professional. Never had I seen such dedication and sincerity, especially in an industry where working on weekends seemed like a sin and working beyond scheduled hours a torture. Here was a person, who didn’t work, coz she was getting paid for it, but worked coz she revered her work. It was not mere duty for her, but was passion. Her dedication and work became a milestone for people like me and a sense of threat for peers. We live in an age, where competition doesn’t mean using your abilities to its best, a sense of healthy competition is almost dead....What remains back is a puddle of dirty politics and scandals… And the same thing started showing its hood… But with truth as her tool, my friend (I have the liberty to say so) went ahead, untouched by politics and undeterred by comments…. She worked coz; she loved her work and didn’t bother about reactions… Finally, her will power and hard work was noticed and she was awarded with a performance award. The moment I saw her name in the list, tears brimmed my eyes… Here was a lesson which I needed to learn, never give up... She never expected any rewards for her work nor did she bother when she got one.. I was touched by her magnanimity when she said that the award belonged to all the three of us who worked hard as a team and not to a single individual… I wrote her a lengthy mail, appreciating her work and I got back a reply saying, what I treasure is not my award but your sentiments for me. I am happy I got this award, coz, this way I could understand ur feelings and respect for me. That is my award.. Gosh!! In this selfish world, there are still people u can look upto and revere…


A Lesson worth learning and remembering….. Truth does triumph…Proud of u my friend…
