Mark of a Professional !

Professional - The one word which each and every person in the IT world would aspire to be or would actually be. I tried to weigh the word with respect to me. How relevant would be if I would be associated with the word ?
I analysed the scenario for a second.

With the in born free spirit struggling for an outlet , I never gave a serious thought of reflecting the etiquette in work place. Be it in my dress sense , in my working style or in the way I communicate with my colleagues . The frivolous behaviour which was at its peak in the college days got carried over to the work place.

I tried to figure out if my colleagues are behaving in the manner according to the books. Astonishingly I found out that they reflect the key word in one manner or the other, in one place or the other. Some how colleagues and friends have become two different existing entities now .

In one occasion , my collegue commented that what I am trying to convince him to do was unprofessional. The word took me back a bit. I was desperate to get it done something from him , which was very well in his reach. He enlightened me with the key word at the same time re-asserting his loyalty for it.Thoughts die hard.

Some how the word has not sunk in my cranial layer due to which the rebel in me tries to defy if every time the need to show its loyalty arises.

The lyrics of Colonial Cousins lingers in my mind;

'" Time is the healer , n time moves on. Every thing ll be fine but it ll take some more time . I am waiting !!!!! ", which Hariharan sings it in style...

I am also waiting .....
