This is story of a man who is from small town of Nepal, came all the way for Job. To earn his bread butter. That’s Jagdish, our office boy, I fondly call him Jagdishiya. Jagdishya is in charge of our floor, he has to keep this floor neat & clean & yet offer tea coffee to those who are working here or visit this place. Jagdishya is someone to everyone here, he is Jagdish Bhayya to our students, Jagguji to my colleagues...he has captured everyone’s mind in some or the other way. No student forgets to wish him when they see him.
He is married, has two kids, the elder one is in his village & he stays in Pune along with his wife & second son. It’s his joint family he & his brother stay together.
He is honest & calm. Sometimes it did give me a feeling how this guy can be so blank & there lies the secret.
He comes on cycle & has an aspiration to buy a vehicle, so that he will come to office fast & he believes he will not fall sick often. Another reason could be all of his colleagues come on bikes.
He is fond of food. We did face this fondness for food in really odd ways. My colleague had brought some chicken dish; they all had it half & left some for others to taste it in the evening. Later when they went to have another round found Tiffin empty. Jagdishiya immediately said,”merko kya malum rakhne ka tha? Mein kha liya!!” Here was his fondness for food was... & being honest about it was much strong.
He likes to watch TV. His special interest lies in sports. & when there is cricket match, he has done all his work quickly; he has done everything possible to make us feel happy so that I can give him permission to on TV.
He wants learn new things. I & my all colleagues are persistent with him to learn new things, noting down his eagerness. I asked him other day, do you want to remain as office boy Or Grow up & he said I want to grow, he proved it all.
We have developed a very unique working style. You teach him once & he does it all. You find always doing something or the other; either he writes on chit of paper, learns new words. I found him sitting for long hours in front of computer trying everything possible, which he knows, understand & does not. He just does all that.
Recently he has opened a Gmail account. He wrote a mail to me, appreciating my efforts. I think this is unique about him, just not being an office boy, ability to understand, appreciate.
Jagdishiya
He is also being victim of politics happens inside company, among the office boys. He would never complain about it or crib, he neither gossips. Kind of Let me mind my work is his funda.
It’s sometimes difficult to hold on to anger, if he does not do work. He is naughty, his reactions make you smile, & one tends to forget that, you were angry with this person. I land up just laughing.
one from animation field will surely feel to animate him one day.
Every character or person in my series has been inspiring person to me in some or the other way. There are so many things which one can learn from this man... what I learnt from Jagdish, Being Polite. Being calm, Being what you are!!
