ENERGETIC ELI
"I feel so safe here; my co-workers are very
co-operative and supportive; sometimes I will get angry with them sometimes I
will cry; but, they are very caring and understanding" says Elizabeth(22)
popularly known as Eli. She is working as Housekeeping Associate in The Oberoi, Gurgaon since Sept 2013.
Disclosing more on how she has been discouraged by people
in Mizoram, her native place, Eli added: "everyone told me not to go to
Gurgaon saying that Delhi and Gurgaon are the most unsafe places especially for
girls from North East. Thank God, in Oberoi,Gurgaon, we feel very safe. After
my work, I will go to my residence (hotel accommodation). On weekly off days
only, I will go for shopping".
There is one more reason Eli is feeling so safe in
Oberoi, Gurgaon. That is, another Mizoram girl, her college mate Ruati,
presently working in The Oberoi patisserie, happens to be her roommate also.
Kya baat hai!!!!!!
"Last July, I had been to my home in Aizawl,
Mizoram", says Eli while explaining how difficult it is to travel by
train. From Delhi to Guwahati by train, it will take 27 hours; from there to
Aizawl by bus another 15 hrs... Oh it is very fatiguing..... So, I flew to home
by air… But it is very expensive".
This Hotel Management graduate has been more fond of
F&B Operations. Nevertheless, she finds joy in her work, not only in
serving the guests, but also helping the co-workers. "I feel very joyous
when I help my co-workers; in turn they also are very understanding".
Eli's Father is a businessman; Mom is a housewife. Elder
sister is a teacher in Govt Primary School in Mizoram. Younger sister is a
Social Worker." I have not met my younger sister for the last five
years" says Eli.
Watching Korean movies is her hobby. During her student
days in Hotel Management College, it was her dream that she should join Oberoi
group.
Yes, everything happens twice in this world. First it
will happen in the mind; then it will really happen. Eli's dream is just one to
quote.
