It happened 2 months after my arrival to Varanasi on 1 year posting, when one morning I got up by knocking of my door. I could not found any one at my door while I look for some one who was knocking my door.
The incident did go unnoticed whereas it was repeated the very next morning. It remained in my mind and I was a bit anxious about the thing which happened consequently for two days. It disappeared for two months before its recurrence after my arrival from 1st vacation (for 15 days).
It was a surprise for me to unfold the mystery of Door knocking in front of my eyes. A pair of pigeon was knocking my door by their beaks. I opened my kitchen door to catch the doers red handed.
3 months have passed before I learnt to stay all alone at HOME ALONE. Back home from office, for couple of months, I just struggled about how to spend time? Some times I keep calling home and at other occasion passed time by watching TV for hours followed by jogging for an hours at nearby UP College and so on.
Calling our friends/colleague at Delhi was of no use. They pretend to be too busy to talk as if before my transfer I was not used to be of Delhi line maintenance culture.
Things worsen further when I created an imaginary personality of mine and developed the habit of sharing my views with my own shadow. Keeps talking myself while cooking my dinner but realized soon of this disorder and recalled the pair of pigeon.
I developed a friendship with them while they were tapping at mirror (Hanged in the courtyard near bathroom)by their beaks, watching their image in it. I keep doing shaving and brushing my teeth and they will be busy on the mirror without any fear of mine being present over there. They started following my instructions and I too started enjoying the company of this duo.
While going out I used to spread few pieces of bread and rice in the courtyard, they will be busy chugging these. It has become habit, became my family member at Varanasi Engineer’s residence. I like them as they do not back bite, unlike us. They show the gesture of unconditional love, the one which we all lack. They do not harm rather help me come out of my depression.
I learnt a lot from them, an innocence looking pair, their unconditional love, and harmless attitude towards someone and so on. These all behaviours are instinct qualities of theirs.
I wonder why it is not possible to inculcate in HR people. They are professional in manpower management. They have invested so much time and money in their prestigious colleges to get the degree of graduation and master but have failed miserably to deliver and nurture the huge resources. No one care unless some casualty occurs. They prefer to hide all the circulars as a fear of implementation with objectives that staffs may not be benefited.
Wish the organisation must do something urgently to improve the morale of employees as we strive for on time performances. With low morale of employees nothing can be achieved in long term.
I spend all the festivals since last10 months ( Deepawali, Chath and Holi )with new friends of course a pair of pigeon.
Colour is life, colour is creative and it is inspiration to live .I coloured the shining bluish black pigeons, they enjoyed, shrugged their shoulders which alternately sprinkled a few drops on my white uniform as I was just about to leave for the airport.
This was all about my HOLI.
I love these pair of pigeon and pray to the god that good sense must prevail amongst the employee and employer so that employer must be instilled with the behaviour like our pigeons and take care their resource’s, develop a healthy relationship where no one need to go in depression, Individual must feel important for the organisation. Once this happen, turn around is not a difficult task.
