I was so eager to go on this partner assessment trip – it was a road trip and I was looking forward to reading another book on my way. This time I picked The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first few pages fascinated me of the great literary depth I was being pulled into. Even as I read along, I was motivated to write.
This trip in the rain was so satisfying – I completed all trips during the last quarter as planned. One goal achieved for my key result area which I have to report by end of the month. As I look back on the assessment exercises, I believe this was possible also because my colleague who went along with me on these trips gave his time and attention towards achieving our common goal. Whatever are your efforts, there’s always someone who makes it happen for you and does his/her part to help you finish, even if we are not aware of such a coordination. This time, I cannot help but thank my dear colleague who gave me this sense of completion and closure.
As we drove back from the countryside, I was caught by the agricultural lands that were sometimes green and sometimes black, rich in soil and so fertile. Between the pages of the book I was engulfed in, I put up my head to see the hanging clouds – some so while and some completely dark. Wah! Hyderabad! I love the weather. Passing between splashes of rain and a little drizzle, and also when we even drove through sunny moments, I realized the length and breadth of nature. The 4-lane highway of the Andhra Pradesh roads looked clear and helped us speed towards home.
