The corporate saints

The corporate saints:  - A different breed of working professionals among us who are living a very peaceful and happy life by successfully maintaining the thin balance between their personal and professional fronts.

I opted to call them corporate saints because

a)    I believe that through my vast kit of experiences, now I am an over qualified Idiot to understand the essence of being a saint?
b)     I liked this title, Its kind of catchy Isn’t  ?

(Cautionary warning to the people who are under guidance and supervision of some other form of saints: This writer is just a newbie and he is definitely not going to write about people experiencing deep mediation sessions or joining yoga classes in their office premises (actually no writer can), So If you opt to read Vinay and cant relate to your way of seeing the things, you and only you will be responsible to waste your time.)

(Now this is what I call defencive writing: P)

So we were talking about my corporate saints.

Million dollar questions:  Mr Gupta who are these people? What kind of characteristics they hold, who is their master and what are their preaching?

I know I am getting a little dramatic now but as a awakened writer I have to keep you guys alive and awake too.  :P
Okay and as the stage is set now and winds are saying that you are in the mood to listen to me let me narrate WHO ARE THEY.

They are simple people but:

If they see me working late in the office, they ask me to go home and to have some good time with the family. Sometimes literally dragging me to the exit gates to make sure that I spend time with my loved ones.

They always use to meet me with a genuine smile on their faces, they have achieved high designations and posh offices, they are full of visionary ideas, and they are like propelling masses of the positive energies. They are always ready to help and share without any slight sign of EGO.

They are the bosses, they are the subordinates and at the same time they are good fathers / mothers / husbands / wives / sons / daughters. They are very mature to act and manage all these roles of life without mixing the priorities. (Always busy in spreading happiness).

Sharing the incident from one particular day I knew that they have planned a dinner with the family and when I found them working late in the office, I was kind of shocked, they are my heroes and I was sure that they never break such promise.

Curiosity forced me to enquire the reason and they told me that their team consists of lot of young members and as the team was working late so they too decided to stay back. However they have communicated the scenario to the family and have decided to take some goodies for them while driving back home.

(They are really sweet people and very well aware of how to make someone feel wanted and special.)

Honestly, they are very few in number but they are like shining stars, the powerhouses of the booming corporate culture. They keep everyone around them happy. No wonder people want to be friend with them.  (Law of attraction may be. :P)

But trust me (like I care if you not :P), they are real mature people and the live walking answers to all the queries related to work & personal life balance.

I truly believe that they are the real masters and possessor of the true secrets of happiness in today’s world.

(No more a secret for my readers, I know you all love me. :P)

PS : A humble appeal, don’t destroy or abandon your personal life on the name of professional ones and this is my sincere advice(like I am a guru ji) especially to those who are just starting their careers. These corporate houses are strange places,ready to utilize 200 percent of you (Mathematical error: P) and it is finally up to you only how carefully to walk on this thin rope.

Ok , I am not going to bore you more; you people have a fantastic weekend.

I am anyways having my plans to meet some nice people today and couple of Para Olympics tickets(dying to see my heroes) for the weekend. So time to say bye-bye

Uffff -- I am a dam busy person over the weekends: P

Cheers :)
