My colleagues
Supportive talks
I love working with female colleagues. Well, female colleagues are not female colleagues are not female colleagues. But mine are really nice. And this is not only the sweet comments that everyday without hesitation they pass on my ear-rings or clothing that I like ;o)
Who if not supportive female colleagues would so invaluable for the discussions of the most burning issues. This is by chatting with Bharti I get to know so much about Indian family life and values and about women's view on that. Here I can share my concerns and ideas about what I've read or seen and yet get some different perspective on that.
Sharing lunch
We have lunch altogether. The huge tray with numerous plastic and metal containers and boxes would be placed in the middle of the table. Each of us would pick up his or her own, open it, put a bit on his or her own plate and pass it around. It is a very nice and exciting procedure which leaves you with a huge plate filled in with all kinds of food. When everyone is in the office and we bring a lot of food, you keep receiving food from all the people and it would take a while before you can actually start eating – so busy you are with helping yourself and passing food around. My other excitement here is that I am actually getting various food from various regions of India where my colleagues come from. Yummy food! – you want to take it with your hands and kiss it – so great it is ;o)
I got to know from my host family that this tradition of shared lunch comes from school, where children would also have lunch altogether: it would be passed around so that everyone could get a piece, or children would just exchange their boxes with each other, but no one would eat his/her own packed lunch.
