Its been a year since I am in this law firm and I feel I am very fortunate to be working with the seniormost partner of our firm, Mr. Dara Mehta. He is efficiency and perfection personified. He is an institution in himself.
We are currently working on a very important transaction in which I need to be out of office with him to negotiate a deal. It is such a pleasure to watch him negotiate and the utmost fairness and neutrality with which he speaks and conducts himself, noone has any doubt of whether they are in the right place at the right time.
Today, when we were about to leave, the CEO of our client company came to see us off till our car and offered us chocolates. Mr. Mehta forced us to take more than one . Though we were feeling a bit shy and embarassed, Mr. Mehta took a handful of the diary milk and toblerone chocolates. After we sat in the car, he gave them all to his driver, saying that they have given it for him and his kids. It was a small gesture, but still it touched me a lot.
I feel indeed very privileged and thankful that he involved me in this transaction and I hope I continue to be associated with him as long as possible.
However, these past few days, I have been missing my office colleagues a lot (and I am sure the feeling is mutual :)). Our lunch and gossip sessions, fashion and diet tips, tea and biscuit breaks... Waiting to get back to office from next week and resume on all these.
