Looking Up

Yesterday was the last working day of one of the juniors at work. He belongs to the larger family of Development and my interaction with him in these four years has been only to report issues or to take up escalations from my team. But he sits right next to my team and we've sometimes misused the fact to go and sit on his head. So I wrote to him on his farewell mail thanking him and wishing him luck. He replied saying it felt great to receive such a mail from the 'inspirational lady'. I had to roll my eyes. Even on Women's Day, juniors and peers wished me calling me the same thing. Now it feels rather sad, one way or the other, that I've seen nothing of this inspirational lady.
