Will Miss it.


Got leave from office and finally in a way the journey of Articleship has ended. These 3.5 years passed by very soon, I wonder. The last day was too tough to handle, looking at my boss I was getting too emotional about this whole thing of last day.
Finally, a thing that I will not regret is that I did few special things for him that I wanted to. Mostly, I just end up thinking about things and day just pass by without me actually doing those things, sometimes out of shyness or sometimes just laziness or postponement end up in me doing nothing and just keeping the plans on paper and finally they die. But this time I did it! :)
I planned to give him a greeting card to say that he was one of the best persons I have met and he was actually a mentor who guided me in the best possible way anyone could expect.
So, I bought a greeting and planned to give it with chocolates. Suddenly a day before last day some thoughts came up in my mind and I quickly grabbed my cell out of my bag and started typing the words in a flow. And finally ended up making a poem sorts for my boss and the journey of my Articleship.
Oh! I can remember how my boss became speechless when I was about to leave. He did not even look at me during whole day. In last moment he came from his seat and sat next to me and just started chatting about general stuffs. I felt good talking to him, as it made me feel less emotional. When I sit silently I get too emotional. When I keep talking it gets easy to hide emotions.
When I stood up, as it was time to leave, I was not finding words to ask him and he was looking like he wanted to say something but not getting words to express himself.
I lifted my bag and finally for the last time asked for his permission to leave. He simply nodded and I remembered that during whole period of my Articleship how he  always taunted me for leaving early for my class and I would just ignore his comments and laughingly walk out of office.
He was like an elder brother, always cared for me, at audits I would use his name for getting things done in my way, and whenever client would ask him to confirm if he had said any such thing he always supported without any prior settings with him. He would purposely irritate me by asking questions repeatedly again and again and finally stop only when I give him a bad look. I always respected him like I respect my teachers.
He always supported me and gave importance to me in front of clients. Whenever he would get a call from a client to whom he don't want to talk he would give it to me to tell he was busy, and I would do that for him very convincingly.
When I didn't get P.C. to work he would give his P. C. to me. Once, I was working on his P.C. he wanted some information, I was working and wanted to finish my work before leaving for class and I asked him to wait for few min and he waited but then I forgot that he was waiting and kept doing my work, finally he went to another employee, cribbing that I'm not giving him details and I realised oops! He is my boss and it's his P.C.
He always judged me correctly that I love audits and hence always preferred me assigning audits over my other colleagues! But he would also give me so many queries to answer and I would wonder as if I was writing Audit paper, after that answering him orally would give me feel of oral examination of audit. We were audit freak! ;) :P
He never used his authority on us. He would purposely taunt me, but that too to show off that he is the boss! We would enjoy his this behavior very joyfully! Nothing was ever serious between us, not even his scoldings, after few minutes he himself would come and tell how to do things for whatever wrong I do.
He is such a jolly person and the best thing about him is that he never ever take out others anger on somebody else. If he is angry on phone on something wrong done by somebody and after he hung up if I'm to interact with him, he totally forgets about that worry and judge me on my deeds.
I'll miss his bad jokes which would actually make me laugh. All his unique features, his gujju tone, his speed of working, I wish if I could ever be hyper active in working like him! I had never seen him in a lazy mood or sleepy, never ever! He is the person who is always alive and so speedy that I could never match up with his speed.
I'll miss my Articleship.
I'll miss my boss.
I'll miss my office colleagues.
Lucky me to have a boss like him and articleship like this.
