We’ve already spoken a lot about Sowmya as a friend, Sowmya as an angel and we have no second opinion over the fact that she perfectly fits the role there. Today I’m going to switch to something completely different. Of course it’s going to be about Sowmya herself, but today leaving aside the personal self of hers, we are going to look at the professional self of Sowmya.
I’ve got a chance to work with her quite a few number of times. But even when not working with her, I’ve been a spectator, a silent observer to her most of the times. And even if she doesn’t need it, the kind of person that I am, I always keep giving her suggestions on everything that she does; owing to which, she consciously or subconsciously is now used to look up to me for feedback and suggestions. I’ve always been observing her while she works, she talks, she advises, or even when she’s just quietly listening. And that is the reason why I can take this stand and comment about her professional personality.
One has to be really lucky to get the chance of working with her. And once you do, there’s no looking back. The work has to be nothing but perfect. She’ll put her heart and soul into the work she is doing. High amount of dedication personified, is what you see. No matter what kind of work it is, whether it interests her or not, but she is the first one to take the initiative. She never shies away from doing any kind of job. And I can say it with 100% confirmation that she has never missed deadlines. You’ll never find her struggling last moment with the work that she’s involved into. She does everything with so much dedication.
And don’t even ask me what happens when she talks. She mesmerizes the audience with her speech. And I’m talking this not only out of personal experience and but also out of experiential learning. Yes I’ve seen her catch attention of the worst of audiences. That’s the magic this girl can create when she is on the podium. Her flawless speech topped by an awesome delivery and that soothing smile on her face while she’s talking. None of us could ever escape this enthusiastic package of energy.
Let’s suppose you need advice on something (I’m talking about professional advice here). What would you expect?? Someone who listens to your problems patiently, analyses it, empathizes with it and then suggests or gives advice. But how many people do you know will be able to do this at a professional level?? There’s hardly any time. Your friends will definitely do it for you. But it’s only your friends who do it for their friends.
But this particular female, she does it for everyone; whoever approaches her for a suggestion over anything, be it as small as a script of a presentation or as big as a decision for a project. She’ll very calmly listen and give genuine suggestions, be it positive or negative but they are logical. I can bank on her anytime for a feedback over whatever I do, big or small. And I’m pretty sure that she’ll never say good to something I’ve done badly. She makes sure everything becomes perfect, a thorough perfectionist that she is.
She does not force her opinion on others. But the way she puts her point across, you are bound to listen. Such is the convincing power this particular girl has got. She’ll not scream and reiterate her point again and again. In fact she doesn’t need to do that. She very well knows how to get her point across. And that’s a quality found in a very few. Actually this completely contradicts the sweet personality that she is, all the time listening to others, but when it comes to making her point, she very clear and very precise. She knows how to make a mark.
In fact anyone who looks at her will get a feel of the immense confidence that she has. It shows on her face. She is a very confident and a very focused female. She knows she has a long way to go, and at the same time, takes it one at a time. No work, absolutely nothing can bring that ray of despair on her brow. She is all lively all the time to do anything that is required and finish it to perfection

moti you have written such beautiful things abt me(again) i dont know what to say...u know you make me sound so great...you have set these high standards that i need to live upto..and this is one such time.
while there is no disputing that i loved what u wrote n how u wrote it (as usual)...but i just don't think im as gud as u describe me...honestly speaking i could relate more to you when i read the blog...u r the dedicated perfectionist.the one who puts her heart n soul in her work....and this is one of the qualities i love abt u and want to learn from you......i wish i could be like that..but i am not (gosh do i hate saying this)...you described what i feel is my ideal self and i have a long way to go there...what you wrote abt are a few of skeletons in the closet kind things.things which i dont let people know about (atleast i try, some find out) but they are things i know are my drawbacks.
i chide myself for the fact that i am always too laid back and always start work only at the last moment..i hate it that i cant get myself to give it my best if what i am working on doesn't interest me....i hate it that i always find shortcuts and escape routes.
but the truth is reading your post reminded me of my ideal self..reminded me that i have a long way to go.and it also reminded me that if you see me as this dedicated girl than i have to be one...you thinking i am one means i can be one...
Thank you for this moti.....while all your posts were morale boosters this was an eye opener..and trust me i wont disappoint you.ill try and put in a tad bit more effort in everything i do so that what you wrote in this post one day stands true..thank you so much again...and love you loads.
