"MY MOM IS MY
ROLE MODEL"
The first week of the month. The first weekly off-day of
the month. That day is very important for Pallavi
Kumar, the 2nd year Operational Trainee in THE OBEROI GRAND, Kolkata.
This Assamese girl will be there at 10am, in the State Bank Of India Taratala
Branch,Kolkata.
Case in point : You will be utterly wrong, in case, you
are under the impression that she has gone to the Bank to withdraw the money.
No, not at all. She is there in the Bank to transfer money from her account to
her father's account.
Guwahati born Pallavi is very different. Every month, she
sends her hard earned money to her Father; with unabated regularity.
"My mom is my role model. She was a very bright
student; has been the District topper". Pallavi's father is an employee of
Indian Railways. Mom is a homemaker. Younger sister is studying B Com; younger
brother is a 7th Standard student.
One of the most valuable guests of The Oberoi Grand, an
Assamese businessman, living in Mumbai, will be visiting this hotel two to
three times in a month. Pallavi could establish excellent rapport with this
guest. "My interaction with this guest has been a great confidence
building exercise for me".
In the first year of her career as an Operational
Trainee, in a short span of nine months, she has been adjudged as the STAR OF THE MONTH. Yet another morale
booster for Pallavi.
This incident had happened last year. In IHM Guwahati,
The Grand Oberoi HR team had already landed. Campus interviews happened...
Pallavi also has been there in the final round...just before the final results
were announced, Pooja Grover,(HR Manager,The Oberoi Grand) beckoned Pallavi....took her to the IHM Principal
... and said...... "Sir, she is the best". Yet another incident that
catapulted her self esteem.
Cooking, visiting places in and around Kolkata, outing
with friends, watching movies, most importantly, sleeping as many hours to her
heart's content are her hobbies.
She always dreams that one day she will fly to a foreign
country."I would love to see the World" says Pallavi.
