Today, while returning to office after having lunch... Yes I do go out for lunch as I mentioned am new joiner and have no good friends here, so I go out for lunch with one of my good friend from my last office and we meet near a ground and have lunch and enjoy that time. At least at that time, I get some fresh air which is good for my heart and brain to think :)
So, while I was parking my vehicle in the parking of my office, I heard a voice calling me. It was an old man's voice, strong with full of emotions, as if that voice wanted to ask something and after parking I turned to see who it was. As I looked behind, I saw an old man, nearly around his 50's with a thick grey mustache, half bald, wheatish color and wearing some dull grey color shirt and pant, was looking at me with full of questions in his eyes and was desperate to talk to me.
Following was the conversation I had with him:
Man: Tai ( it means a girl in Marathi language) is it a call center, you working in?
Me (a bit confused about what to answer to his question): Yes..... ahh no, its a software company.
Man: Do you have any openings over here?
(I started imagining him sitting beside me and doing chat with our clients)
Suddenly, he asked me again the question.
Me: Yes we do, but.....
(He immediately answered, as if he judged my face)
Man: My daughter had submitted her resume, but didn't received a call, so....
Me: Oh! she may receive it in one or two days or else she could directly come as walk-in for interview
Man: Oh... okay, will talk to her and send her once.
And the man went smilingly, but his behavior and concern about his daughter raised so many questions in my brain.
Today, in India where at one side you meet people who don't want a girl child, girls are aborted, killed, thrown away, left at roadside etc... you meet a father who wants his daughter to grow up her career and do something in her life.
I too belong to a family from North- India, wherein my Grandmother always wanted a grandson from my Mother, she did ignored my elder sister same issue as she was a girl and even ignored me as I was the second girl. But suddenly, she started loving me, because as per her thinking I was very SHUBH, because after my birth my brother was born, isn't it something very orthodox, but yes, I do miss my DADI sometimes, as she used to pamper me a lot :)
But, yes my Mother didn't make us think like that, she always treated us equally and gave all her love.
But, after seeing and meeting a Father like I met today, I seriously feel that the Girl is seriously lucky to have a father like him, but I can bet on this that he must be thinking that 'He is a lucky father, that he has a daughter like her'.
So, I think we have different thinking's and mindsets, but I seriously think that Father like this, can change the world and make a girl child to feel proud of hersel.
My best wishes to that father and his daughter! :)
