Hi Readers! How are you all doing? Great, I hope!! And if not, there\u2019s always tomorrow for things to get better! Well, I have been reading \u2018The Goldfinch\u2019<\/span><\/b> <\/span>continuously over the last few days & I am completely soaked in it. I am only halfway done & absolutely enjoying it. It was then that I realized it will take at least a week more for me to complete it & another couple of days to contemplate it, after which I will write the review. Just so the blog doesn\u2019t remain dry till then, I thought of writing a Diary Logs post for y\u2019all! It is completely random & fictional, as always! Go read!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
——————————————————————————————————————–<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
They found her things in her desk drawers a month after they were sure she wasn\u2019t coming back to work. The 2 people who sat next to her were going through her desk drawers. Another lady was going through her desktop. And, 2 to 3 more colleagues had gathered around to help out or gossip about her. In this search, what they found shocked them to their core.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

On the desk were a few articles printed out since 4 or 5 months. All these were relating to Global Warming & Climate Change<\/span><\/b>. Some contained the horrible things happening around, like the Amazon forest burning & coral reefs dying & trees being cut for road & metro construction. Some contained plain straight facts as to what will happen if we don\u2019t control global warming. Water will become scarce. More animals will become extinct. And some articles contained what the common people can do to help. Unlike others in the room, she was the only one there who was so environmentally aware & actually did things to help reduce global warming.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
But, who even knew her!?<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
In her drawer, they also found some contrasting BOOKS<\/span><\/b>‘ How To Win Friends & Influence People, The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck, The Alchemist & last month\u2019s Lonely Planet magazine. She had these tiny coloured pages small enough to make a bookmark of them. The Alchemist was full of such little bookmarks. She had put those wherever she had loved a quote. Same was the case with the other two non-fiction books. In the Lonely Planet magazine, they found how much she loved TRAVEL<\/span><\/b>. She had been planning a trip to Iceland. She noted all the places she wanted to go to, all the amazing restaurants & local tips as well. What was even more amazing was that she was going on a solo trip!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But, who even knew her!?<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
In her WORK DIARY<\/span><\/b>, they found meticulous notes of her work. From daily plan to monthly & quarterly targets. She worked with 20 or more onsite clients & not once did she miss out on anything. Different meetings with all these clients, minutes of those meetings as well as action plan forward was written down to iota of details. She had all sorts of stationary items too. Post-It notes, markers, notepads, card holder, pins apart from the ordinary. She was organized to an extent one might think she had OCD.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But, who even knew her!?<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Next shock was her computer. As expected, the desktop was clean & everything was organized in folders. They found one folder titled Important. Inside it, there were hundreds or more pdf files & each contained a CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION<\/span><\/b>. And, that was just for the current financial year alone. She was damn good at her work!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
But, who even knew her!?<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She was kind to everyone, but no one was particularly her best friend. She believed that there are no real friends in the workplace, but somehow she was waiting for someone to come along & prove her wrong. Over the years, she had heard them talk about their weekend parties & international tours & farm house getaway stories while she pretended to listen to music on her headphones. She sat in that office for nearly 5 years. Logged in at 9 AM & logged out post 7 PM. Didn\u2019t speak to anyone much, which is why people assumed she would be boring or depressed. But, in front of them lay all the proof of why she was the most interesting person in that room. From being a solo traveler to being a star performer at work. From having good taste in books to being an environment activist.<\/span><\/b> She was simply amazing. And yet, after her disappearance, it took them a month to notice. The company which promoted its Diversity & Inclusion policies, had subtly & simply excluded this one talented person. In a culture where people are known for their unity, she was always left in her unwelcome solitude. No one really knew her.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Until next time,<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
