“Lets talk about Bosses”

Anyone who has ever worked out, has come across an entity called ‘Boss’. One can read many jokes based on boss-employee relationship, good ones, bad ones, and of course just hilarious ones.

I also have had chances, yes chances – more than one, to work under ‘Bosses’. And of course as I am totally an individual ‘entity’ like my ‘Bosses’, so, I have had experiences – good as well as unexpected ones. Being human beings every individual has certain positives and negatives but often some characteristics overshadow other behavioural traits, which may be positive as well as negative depending on overall dominance of character traits.

I worked at “Cavalier” in Delhi, a coaching institute for 'defence aspirants' headed by Col. Chhabra and Major Chopra. Both of them, good human beings.

Two of the things I particularly remember are, the affection shown by Col. Chhabra when my parents shifted to Dehradun, he said, “Tell your parents not to worry for you that they are in Dehradun as you have parent here in Delhi also.” He was the person who was feared by entire staff and students but I felt always at ease with him (he was disciplined person so probably feared).

Every boss wants that the employee always stays back far beyond the stipulated office timings but here also Sir was exception. Whenever there was no work and even if there was half an hour left of the office timings, Sir used to say, “Priti don’t want to go home? Why are you sitting?” Not only this, during winters he always asked me to leave half an hour earlier, as darkness crept in earlier.

He Is undoubtedly the best “Boss” anyone can have.

And surely this is not all but just two of many incidents.
