my part time job


holidays had begun and i was as usual aimless trying to find means to kill time.my uncle called me up with this offer in his exhibition. rise ans shine company delaying in horticulture tissue culture and flori culture had also put up their stalls.and being fluent in Hindi and not Tamil they wanted a translator who could run the show. and voila i was there the next day with them may8.when i stepped inside i had my own doubts as to how i would suit the job. if i really will do it without getting bored.if i would be able to mingle with professionals with their management degrees and so on..but the moment i met them i was so much at ease with vishwajit and madhuri. and the four days were absolute fun. distributing pamphlets and giving my pep talk about tissue culture bananas.and the different personalities you come across was just mind blowing. some farmers really surprised me by asking questions about genetic engineering involved and they also taught me some points. i would say that exhibition helped me in a lot of ways.and once the show was over i had got a good friend in madhuri and vishwajit and she gave me a chain and an invite to her house. her whole family was also present and adding to the fun was her small kid
  • be natural with a smile and anybody would warm up to you
  • be very sincere i whatever your work is even if part time
  • be patient when handling people
  • learn to have fun and also put your all in work
  • be open for any kind of opportunity because you never know..it may be something you thoroughly enjoy and get a lot in return
  • added to all of this i got paid too :-)
and to this day and in the future those four days will always remain clearly etched and fondly remembered.
