A TRIBUTE TO CA&PD – MY PARENT DEPARTMENT

One of my friend remarked on my transfer from CA&PD department two months back that good & bad things of your old department will haunt you even after you have gone from there. It was not taken seriously right then but now truth lying in statement is being felt. I might be out of that department since last two months but my heart is still there. It is not as if I was not dying to get out of the department but something is still holding some part of me there. May be the length of time I was in there played its role.

Whatever is said about the department & present messy condition of the department notwithstanding, there is no denying the fact that I have learned many lessons, got most valuable experiences & made most affectionate relationships of my life being there. It was there that I got guidance of my great seniors like Mr. Pankaj Magotra, Mrs. Nitu Gupta & Mr. Mumtaz Ali & also love of my gifted friends like Deep, Ved & Madan as well as unconditional support & respect from my fellow workers like Rinku, Rishi, Sunil & others all of whom are more like my family members rather than anything else.

Though I had to encounter clashes on number of occasions due to difference of opinions but I was supported in my work more or less by most of my Directors which helped me earn the respect of my fellow officers & officials. This was the department which provided me opportunity to serve people in right spirit & to help them getting the most basic requirement of all- FOOD. It pushed me to many different situations- good, bad & ugly giving me lessons to face different aspect of life.

While moving out of the department after watching so many ups & downs, I was immensely satisfied & contended but I had to move on & time was just right for the change as I was becoming bit complacent & things were not moving at the pace I would have liked.

I have deliberately not touched the negative aspects of the department because this post is supposed to be a tribute to the department which gave me recognition & made me what I am today. Moreover the department in itself has no negativity, it is selfish interests of the few which has created a negative aura around the department essence of which otherwise is pious & pure.
