She had been brought up like princess …. She always thought she
would be a great home maker and never go out to earn bread ‘n butter….. She was
youngest and quite a pampered child…. But life thinks different and bigger for
us…
For many reasons, with the education she got… she started
working and kept going on… After marriage it was also the need of hour to get
out of abode so that her children could get the best of life…. Though she never
wanted to work, she was a sincere employee and always in pursuit of perfection.
She went on this journey for more than 2 decades…. And suddenly there came
abrupt end to this journey…. She had been associated with this company for all
her professional life…. Yes, it sounds weird these days, but previous generations
did not work just for increments and hikes… they worked with emotions more…. They
worked with faith… more in pursuit of stability than monitory growth…. The set
back was too huge to digest… Her elder child was in teens and had opted engineering
course… her younger angel was still in secondary school and had long way to go….
She herself was nearing 50 and it was hard for her to find another job at this
age….
But being optimist… she never stopped trying. Everywhere she
went… they said,” Your experience is too much to afford “. It’s really hard to
digest when your qualities or expertise start becoming your enemy. Almighty was
testing her strength I believe…. With finance, emotions, her self esteem … and
what not!
One fine day, one firm said it’s too much of experience and
it would be unjust to pay her less salary … all that they could afford… It was less
than 1/5th of what she was earning till 6 months before….. But she accepted…
for her children… For their future… For their pride…. She opted to come down to
such less pay…….
It was a stock point of food products… She started working…
I never could imagine what she must have gone through… But whatever she does…
does with 1000% of conviction…. Change in the field, change in the type of work,
less CTC… Nothing could stop her… She can draw happiness in anything everything…
She started studying about the products in depth; she
started gaining knowledge as much as possible…
Though a quality brand, they work on the basis of mouth
publicity and principles of network marketing… In turn everyone walking in
needs full orientation. I have seen her explaining everything patiently till
even an illiterate person understands… I have seen utmost irritating people
around her asking the same questions over and over… And I have seen her
answering with the same smile and calm tone all the way… I have seen her
helping people selflessly to achieve their targets in their business… I have
seen her giving the products away free of cost for no profit of hers… in fact it
has been from her pockets itself….
I have seen her walking extra miles for people with all her
heart in the journey. We have told her many times that she could make money
much more than what she does…. But she follows the path of nature… path of
nurturing, path of giving away, path of serving wholeheartedly… Her job is to
sell the products available… But she sticks to the forte of sharing Love….. And
the sale falls in place….
It has been more than a decade now, working there. She can
retire now, but she won’t… How can a loving soul unsubscribe unlimited data
pack of love!!!
She has again earned CTC more than what she used to get in
her career before… but more than that she has been a role model for hundreds of
people. She has earned dissoluble trust of her employer and the people coming
in. She is mother figure for youth there. She is a strong shoulder for those
who need support.
She is the Love and Care in disguise… You wanna experience
this? You can meet her @ Valsala Foods, 2nd Floor, Ekbote Hospital,
Shivaji nagar, Pune…..
I have met her and seen her in many roles…. Fortunately, I am that elder child who completed engineering after she joined this new field…. I am the blessed and proud daughter … and this elite class soul is my Mom…who continues her journey of selling goods …. Spreading Love….
