Indlaw communications was my first office. But I got my first salary somewhere else !. After I reached New Delhi, first few months I was searching for a job. I was new to the city and language. So I used to go with my sister to her office. There my job was just chat with her boss and surf the internet. He, A.K Gupta, is such a sweet person and still now I have contact with him.
He used to take me out when he is going to meet his clients and tell them that I am his daughter. I am so thankful to him for the efforts that he took to open my bank account and took care of me when I was ill. After I got job in indlaw also, he used to come and take me to the hospital; whenever I fell sick. OOOOOooooh. What I was saying was about my fist salary. In his office there was only image editing and flash development only. As I was completed my computer engineering diploma, I was trying for a job in software development only. And i didn’t know any flash designing and all. Now also. After a couple of weeks, he got some power point related work. So he gave me some part of the work. I worked on it for 3-4 days. That client was also a good guy. He made the payment on completion of the work. (Most of his Indian clients were not paying him on time. And our Gupta sir was such a poor guy that he doesn’t know to fight with them). Gupta sir gave me 2500 rupees. It was in 2002. For my 4 days work I got salary. I never expected it. I was utilizing his computer and internet to search for jobs and entertaining. I just helped him in return of that. I cried with joy. I can’t tell you how happy I was that time. He used to give permission to my sister to come with me for interviews and late in office. Mine and his account was there in the same bank (SBH). I didn’t have an ATM card that time and I was getting a cheque. After my each salary date, he used to come and deposit my cheque and withdraw money for me. It is very difficult to find such sweet people in this world.
