Today was a loooong day. So, I'm going to take the liberty to not talk about processes or perspectives but rather just share with you a small part of my day. Around noon Nayana and I headed out for our respective site visits. Agendas in mind, we embarked on a long Uber journey - updating a task list and site schedule for her, a client meeting for me. Successfully (mostly) meeting our agendas, we both made our way back to office. Both of us were too tired to talk about work and the most part of the journey was spent talking about random things and bonding over Delhi (yes people, I finally have some company... Bye-bye home sickness!) But one can't exactly escape work during work hours and so the conversation came back to site and the workers there. I never thought the day would come when I would casually sit with a friend discussing the characteristics of carpenters, plumbers and tile layers. That's exactly where the conversation had reached. While we marvelled over one person's skill to be able to do multiple jobs, we also joked about how another's signature is to finish off everything but a tiny bit of the task left for the end. The conversation came up so smoothly that by the time we realised what we were upto, we both started laughing. It's good to know the strengths and weaknesses of the people you're working with whether in office or on site. We've certainly got to that point and maybe even a step ahead :P
