Disha Diaries

Part 3

"What's your New Year resolution?",Trupti asked."Huh,What?",Disha's conciousness descended to that within the ODC(for the uninitiated,that means Offshore Development Centre)."Jesus!Girl, why do you look so lost always?It's almost like you are from some other planet!!"."Ya,it's a place called the Earth.Of course you wouldn't know,considering you definitely aren't from there.....",Disha mumbled to herself."What did you say?",Trupti asked."Nothing.Do we have a Knowledge transfer session scheduled for today as well?",Disha asked."Not sure.Rajesh didn't mention anything",came Trupti's reply. "Well that's a first.Since when does Rajesh schedule KT sessions?Has he finally decided to give up his pretence?Is that his new year's resolution?!!!...What am I thinking,I should be thinking of resolutions,not miracles!!"."Hehehehehe",she giggled aloud.

Trupti rolled her eyes and looked meaningfully at Shilpa. Shilpa slowly shook her head from side to side and resumed staring at her monitor.Unlike the boisterous Trupti,Shilpa was the silent type.That,did not mean that she was a pushover.She simply avoided confrontations as long as it was humanly possible.Besides,it was a lot easier to agree with Trupti in order to get her to shut up than to argue with her.Shilpa could argue.But with reason and logic.And Trupti,well...just used her volume to a criminal extent.

Shilpa secretly admired Disha.Although Disha was a natural misfit in the team,she was the only person who could successfully render Trupti speechless,without resorting to violence.She didn't even need to raise her volume for the purpose!The event,however was a rarity in itself,and so all the more enjoyable,whenever it occured.Shilpa hoped to master the trait someday .

Then something inexplicable happened.Disha froze.He had arrived,and in that very ODC.
