BUSMISS!!!!...not anymore

One of the core values we practice here in Wipro is timeliness of deliverables. For this to happen we have to be delivered at Wipro’s doorstep on time .Hence our wip driver is very strict about time.

There are a lot of times when I have ended up chasing the bus in auto. Once I ended up chasing the wrong bus (it was an infy bus). This was not my fault tho’ as the regular bus had been camouflaged!!!.(yep they do it in wip just to keep the employees on their toes)

That day as usual I was to catch the bus and mind u it was damn late. But maama (mom) delayed me for a moment more and I was very upset about it.. I never realized that she had got her arm burnt trying to speed up things. On top of that it never occurred to me that I have to express my gratitude to make her feel happy.

Of late ,I realized that there are few simple things we ignore or take for granted like thanking whole heartedly,saying sorry,appreciating one's effort and so on . Its very imp that we stop for a moment and express the love,appreciation and care we have for our dear ones verbally as well as in action. Believe me this is the best way to comfort them.

Now the million dollar question…vat should I do if maama again delays and I end up chasing the infy bus once again…..he he he

Got up fom my deep slumber to a ‘chai_kaapi_pani bottle’ call from the train guy..Shiish vat a shrill voice …(me cursed the fellow badly in local lingo)

Cousin & Appa(in one voice) :KUDITIYO ILVO
Myself(apprehensively): Nanna kashta nimage artha aagalla…plz bittubidi
Cousin & appa: Nammele Aane
Myself: Devre kaapadbeku nanna

I gulped the tea in one go…Some strange noise in my tummy ….

Someone crying from inside me (that was actually my groaning tummy) ..sriki ..man RunNNNNN…
