Our team leader Allwin Prashanth is a tall and handsome guy. Very friendly and approachable. Always has a witty answer for every question up his sleeve. He is a practical guy who does not bother to call us for mediocre things like call quality feedback and stuff. He gives feedback only if we screw up the call. The most significant quality about him is his style. He is so stylish that he fails to notice the magnitude of it and its effect on people around him.
To explain this, I must tell you what happened during Swapna's birthday party. Almost all of us have come and we were waiting for the manager. It is not usual for him to be late, but he made a stupendous entrance. What an entrance it was. The whole team was outside the house the moment we heard his horn at the end of the street. He slowly stopped in front of the house, lowered the windows. His left hand on the steering wheel and removed the sunglasses with the right hand and gave the faintest of a smile. The effect was so magnificent that David could not stop himself from whistling and the whole team erupted with wolf whistles and WOWs.
It was the topic of conversation for at least 1 hour. Allwin regretted the fact that he was so stylish and he couldn't do anything to be any less. If anything would have made the effect even better it would have been this.,
1. Instead of Santro, if it were a Safari/Sumo
2. If he would have worn White & white
3. If there were some background music from stereo like "Samarasimha Reddy" or "Indra"
The effect would be 1000x greater. Maybe Allwin deliberately did not do that, because he knew that this was enough to get us excited, and it surely was. Anymore than this would have created hysteria among us. Sirisha was still talking about it when we went to drop her at her home. Even the next day, we discussed it on the floor. Allwin might wish to reduce his style henceforth which is very difficult, as the elders say "Puttukatho vachinavi eppatiki povu" which means, you will not lose the qualities you acquired from birth !!!!
Allwin was recently blessed with another son. We planned to visit his home to see him but I was not fortunate enough to make it there. Allwin does his best to help us during work and he expects equal dedication from us. He managed to get bays allotted to our team. Now I hope we wont have to sit separately in others' bays but in our own.
