This post is my first ever post about my observations and experience with a dear friend, a colleague and an extremely fascinating little woman.
I have known her for two years now, but I happen to spend almost the entire day with her lately, ever-since we became colleagues-cum-cabinmates.
She's one of those differently insightful people, who always brings forth an alternative way of assessing an event, a situation or a person. The kind of person who makes you want to improve yourself, especially in terms of knowledge.
The way she involves herself into deep knowledgeable information, constantly trying to push the futile, distractive elements away, is inspiring.
She's one of those whose judgements are 95% reliable and she never lets her thoughts lie idle at the corner of her brain and keeps thinking, rethinking (also at times overthinking) things happening around the world (and also around her life).
And oh my she's witty! She cracks a joke or two in a day, that ends up making us laugh about it till the time she finds another joke to make our ribs hurt in laughing.
What happened when I started spending more time with her is that my perspectives on looking at events became matured. I started analysing things differently, in a better way, with enough practical information at its base. She's someone who doesn't open her mouth on things she has no knowledge about, but when she does speak, you'll know that she has well-researched the things, read several articles or posts about it, before coming to the conclusion. At times she also explain the one event or situation with two different perspectives, leaving you to think on your own and arrive at your own opinion.
You know thats what is inspiring. That's what makes wise and learned people stand out in a crowd. They have an opinion but do not impose it on someone else. Nor do they demean someone's opinion because it doesn't match with theirs. They simply accept difference of opinion and also provide ample information for one to analyse things and arrive at a conclusion on their own. She's got the potential of being a great leader for she's so forward-looking and optimistic. Her sense of national pride is another thing that makes me adore her.
And when she does lack knowledge on something, she'll be open enough for accepting it and learn more. Her quest for knowledge is astonishing and I see a little bit of her growing in me too, for I have started quoting her in my conversations lately.
That's what strong, insightful women do; They make you grow without having to teach you anything per se.
In these four months of work, I have grown more as an individual with greater knowledge and a wider perspective than as a professional with greater work skills. And she plays a big role in making me this way.
That's what happens when you have an incisive, witty woman around.
Her name is Bhavna Jaidwal and I am happy to accompanied by her :)
PS
I haven't been paid for marketing her goodness on my blog :P and these really are my observations of her. :)
