Interacting With People-II


On the first day at Thekkady after an exhausting chase after butterflies ,we all hurried to the restaurant for the dinner.As we began the dinner,we saw a small girl about 5 to 6 years playing with one of the chefs there.But suddenly in her playful excitement,she crashed with the plate kept on the table and itr fell down and broke down to pieces.
We were expecting that chef to give her a big piece of mind.Even the child was just beginning to cry ,with guilt feeling in her heart.But controlling the situation the chef said that he would give her a chocolate for' 'breaking the plate'.He took her to the desert corner and decorated her plate with ice cream and cake.After that the whole 2 hrs her face was flodded with a big smile.
We noticed that the chef MR PUJAN SARKAR unlike other chefs [whom we couldn't see out of the kitchen] was personallty attending people to ask about their likes and dislikes and suggesting them what to have accordingly.My father began a conversation with him and he told that he was there for only a month or two and had come to upgrade the food quality.We told him that dad didn't eat egg,so MR SARKAR prepard a special eggless cake for Dad.He always used to come at our table and enquire about how our day was , what were our plans ,etc..He spoke about his family and was very comfortable talking with us.As atoken of appreciation, we gave him roses."Ah!You plucked some roses for me." he said and bent down to smell them realizing that they were origami roses. He added happily that'' these roses will remind me of you all''.
We all were really tensed due to mohit's cet results.So he came up to us and told us, ''Whatever you do should be 100 percent.I like my job 100 percent and automatically people begin to like me.It was always my dream to be a chef and I alwas want to improve.He also told that he liked to make people happy and got happiness as a return gift".
