Yes, again!

Fridays with Sarala, Silly - Part III.
Part I, Part II

Turns out our boostu girl has a name, nice one too. Sarala, 'simple' in many Indian languages. Silly Sarala, bombat name no? Her friends call her Saralu. She hates the few who call her Sallu.

Silly works for the BPO arm of my company - I should have guessed it on first encounter, but the non-BPO accent^[1] threw me off. She is married, to a nice fella from what I overheard. Hopefully the smaller, low level details will be unravelled in subsequent Fridays.

Its appraisal time at the BPO. Silly only proved my suspicions from a previous encounter with her distant-colleague, who, fortunately for me, was less silly. Apparently, if what I over-heard is correct, SS has 10 peers and her manager can pull only a couple of them to the next level. SS calls up a close buddy, Ram, to express her anxiety. Completely confident that nobody even remotely associated with her is on the bus she goes:
"Lo Ram, yeno madLi, yibraNNe C3 levelGe kaLstananto avnu"
("Oye Ram, what to do, he will only send 2 people to the C3 level, it seems")

"Naanu isht dina kelasa madidella waste madtano avnu. prati dina correct timeGe bandu, poorti kelsa maadi hogtino. aa Harshantara proxy hakolvo, yella kelsa sariyaage maadi hogtino. yeno madodu nananna avnu select maad-de idre?"
("All these days I have worked without wasting time, coming and going on time. not putting proxy like that Harsha fellow. What to do if he doesnt select me?")^[2]

Unfortunately, I was robbed of the opportunity to listen to rest of the interesting exchange of ideas on manager-management. Silly must have had a suspected that she had me completely engrossed in her 'private' conversation, moved closer to the window and started whispering into the phone.

[1] Ahmerican accent for the unfortunate few who are unaware of the IT lingo.
[2] Thankfully, my company does not believe in rewarding people who work for the stipulated number of hours; I would not have met Silly.
