Just KK


Day 1 in office and we were being introduced to everyone - a aunty (:P) stood up on the working table across the cubicle and did a Deepika Padukone (OSO) wave!!! Well, there she was greeting us with that unique charisma of hers. Today, after a year in office, I'm glad to have met her.


Part 1 - The chatterbox
Undoubtedly it was a serious mistake of judgment when I met her in the office cab. Plausibly the only day where I didnt sleep while making a 30 mile trip to my work place. Oh man... she talks. Did I say talking?? Oh no, that was a ಕಪ್ಪೆ making sounds on a rainy day (sorry for that). Sit and watch the needles of the clock move 1.5 hrs - that is how long she spoke that day without break!!! As Pushkar puts it - "She is a talking juggernaut". She cant remain silent even for a moment (have seen a couple of times where she had a very sleepy look on her face when silence prevailed :P) - but then, that is what makes her different.

Part 2 -
The "May have, May not have"
Luckily we have a interesting group in the cab. The daily routine is to play cards in the cab on our way back home. On that particular day, Shreyas asked our aunty if she had a particular card - the reply was "May have, May not have" in an accent which only she can boast of. The phrase has now become a part of daily usage even in our workplace...

Statuary Warning: please dont converse with her in Kannada. ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೊಲೆ!!!
On a serious note, at JTC, she is the ORB support spearhead. Its really commendable to see the way she carries herself around. She is also the "past continuous" process coordinator (dont know when ppl will stop cc'ing her in the mails :D)

I hope I no longer remain a buffer resource after this ;)
Be the way you are...

Cheers
