Dedicated to my Work Anniversary (13th Feb)

To my lovely readers, 

I wanna stop by at your screen on eve of Galentine's day. Let me keep it short, hope you like my KISS ( keeping It Short and Sweet).

Here I am, sharing TLDR version of my last year experience on first work anniversary at new work place. 



Started with new hopes, never looked back, learnt a lot, met brilliant minds,  understood how good company culture can grow your personality and keeps you on toes. 

A company which values DEI principles at high scale, gave me template to introduce myself which asked my pronoun. While I planned to jot down my thoughts,  I came across a comedian which emphasized every Indian parent will want their daughter to be 'SHE' and son to be 'HE', never dare to think beyond that. This company is one where I came across 'They' pronoun :)

This company enriched my vocab with corporate lingo. For lack of vocab or more of knowledge, at times, I like to open can of worms, unpacking the details, to enhance my story telling so that my stakeholders can wrap their head around and are willing to double click on details.

Every company has to justify the budget and identify if the team delivered value.  Metrics and numbers are valued where data driven decisions are taken. It is universal concept and base of running any company. Here, being Gallup exceptional workplace awarded company seventh time in a row,  this one focusses on 360 degree feedback and values voice of employee sitting at each level.

Focus is to build relationship, make it a happy working place in remote set up which adds to many meetings in a day. Growing up, I was the one who would be so laconic that if I can answer in single syllable, i would do that. Time changes you, I am embracing change. 

Ending my KISS with three takeaways: progress over perfection, fail forward, automate automatable!

Transcending love from window to balcony

Image
Today, I am making new associations in this new setting. My balcony gives me view of yellow flower bed on green grass, lake view with green necked ducks and geese around. None the less, I have not forgotten my connection with you, My Window. You had been with me throughout, letting me peek through your pane, experiencing each season.  Other day while returning home, I was brought back to you unintentionally. My muscle memory took me to by-lanes I had left. I saw blinds drawn to one side, you were awaiting for new tenant. Being newly single in market, seeking new tenant in every passerby.  Oh, was that U-Haul parked right outside for you? Never mind, it moved. And then our eyes met and we exchanged smile, as one would do seeing your own coming back. I get how you feel my window,  our  time was limited but the connection is eternal.  Love is limitless. Bounded by none. I remember our experiences day and night where we made so many memories. I moved out making space for new, so did someon

Empathetic Bench

 Hey bench, I have been noticing you from far. You are so wholesome. Big hearted one, giving rest to each passerby.  I envy how much experience you gain. Everyone has their own story and you silently listen to them with full empathy. So rich, full of experience. So secretive as well. I wonder how do you stand still and spread no grapevine. Listening not only to those walking feets but also to falling leaves. Those leaves falling in sync, dancing to melodious beats of wind; some tickling your back, others settling next to your feet. As if they were destined to serve you in this heat.  Best listener. No judgement. I am assured of having a friend in you; to share some deep thoughts in twilight and dusk. Time of the day when no one is eying you so I do not have to share you. You are all mine. You deserve all the love!
