GIRL POWER

As I started telling you guys yesterday, we’re now an office with a majority of girls and what an interesting mix it is! We come from different parts of the country, have different interests, possess different strengths, showcase different characteristics and there’s a great difference in height too! (Dhruvi and Harshitha have exactly 1 foot difference in their heights)
Now this blog is in no way a complete reflection of how brilliant each one of them is, but it will certainly give you a fair idea. I could go on and on about each of them but I’ll try my best to restrict this to a line or two about each person for now (and we can always keep talking more in future blogs)

Tanvi is always bubbly and looking on the bright side of things. Give her a job and she’ll go over it again and again till she gets it right. Just ask her how many revisions of drawings she’s made and you’ll know what I mean.

Dhruvi may seem quiet at first but once she opens up it’s like she is a different person altogether. Her random one liners can be brutal when directed at you, but will certainly crack up everyone around. Photography and compositions are definitely her strength and she loves doing this. How many people can you come across who’ll say that they can do the job they’ve been given forever!

Purva is sane and sensible, always the one with reason. She’s as consistent as they come and as patient too.

Kruti is always confident and quick on her feet. The very first interaction on our office group and everyone seemed to be pulling her leg but she was quick to join in on the fun, taking it in her stride.

Reenu is super dedicated and always composed. Even under the most stressful of situations I’ve never seen her under duress.

Even before Nayana joined office, her OCD with time was legendary and she’s lived up to it. If I had to do her job of scheduling the sites I would’ve pulled out all my hair already.

Mallika is the sweetest of them all. She’s quiet too but her smile and positive attitude makes up for the words. We all rely on her for all the area and material calculations. Even when you ask her for help on the busiest of days, she makes it a point to find time for you.

Ananya’s energy is incomparable. Just seeing her moving around in office tires me out. To top it off, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without a smile. I guess it’s her vibrant energy that helps her connect with clients so well.

We often joke around that Harshitha is as lazy as one could possibly be. But the plus point in that is that she’ll always get the work done with the minimum amount of effort required. Another thing I love about her is that she’s always frank and speaks her mind (and even when she doesn’t her expression gives it away!)

Sulu is super chill for the lack of a better word. But she takes her work just as seriously, always figuring out which project should be managed how. I’ve noticed that she’s one of the few people in office who actually writes her time journal during the day and not as a post-mortem effort like the rest of us.

Leena is like an inspiration to all of us. Architect, mother, photographer and so much more- she plays each role effortlessly. Her sense of aesthetics is subpar and her bold and upfront nature beats even that (trust me, I could write several blogs just on the basis of her interesting responses to some of our somewhat stupid questions – in office and outside of it too)



Imagine all of these great women coming together in the workplace (and of course the boys too. Can’t forget them). Quite a team isn’t it. And having a chance to work with all of them is quite something too!
