ANGELS FROM THE NORTH EAST INDIA.........15

"OBEROI GROUP IS THE BEST"

"We have been given lot of opportunities to learn. In the Indian hospitality sector, in terms of professionalism, the Oberoi group is the best" asserts Allena (24), a Nagaland girl presently working as Front office Assistant in The Oberoi, Gurgaon.


This health conscious girl had completed her 3 year Hotel Management course in Chandigarh. She was lucky enough to complete her six month Industrial Training in this hotel itself.  After the successful completion of her training, she joined as Front Office Assistant in July this year.

"In the initial days in Gurgaon, I found it extremely difficult; but, nowadays I do take care of myself better" opines Allena, whose pastime being going to the Gym.

I do always prefer to eat more salads...I do deliberately avoid food with masalas in it. Yes, adjusting with the food here is a problem for me even today".

"In Dimapur, Nagaland, lot of people from South India are there, especially in the teaching field. In my school the English Teacher was one Menon from Kerala, Maths Teacher Krishna comes from Tamilnadu and Science Teacher Jayaprakash hails from Andhra Pradesh. Economics Teacher also was a lady from Kerala....oh....I forgot her name".


"I have been staying away from my home for the last five years. For the last two years, I have never been to my home".

Her father is working as Vice Principal in Dimapur Government College, Mother also has been a teacher earlier, but, presently, is a Government Employee. Of the three siblings, Allena is the eldest; two younger sisters are studying.
