What do you call this ?

I am sure the heading did make you open the link in to the blog.

 A simple discussion and flow of events made me pen this down.

The Security in my flat is taken care by people from a neighboring nation – do not let your imagination Go Green on where they come from  .   in fact , most of the security jobs in and around flats in my  locality are taken care by these people. Some are with their families here  ,  for most , the families are back home and they visit their families at least once a year. The two guys plan in tandem on their vacation planning ,arranging  substitutes  , transition when on guy goes off on vacation  is done so smoothly and we only see a new face for a two or three month period. No issue with payments . allowances , car washing allocation ( additional money they get when they clean cars of flat residents  and that is allocated to each Security guard) , shift planning ( they rotate from day shift to night shift  every two weeks )  etc. Everything is managed by them. No delinquency of service !

So , last week one of the guys who was on vacation called me early in the morning  when I was on my morning walk , to announce that he was arriving two weeks ahead of his schedule , I was slightly worried. When I got back to my apartment , I told our regular guy that the guy on vacation was coming back two weeks early. I also asked,  how will you  manage the replacement guy who was on board ? He said “ No problem “. By the time I was ready to go to work ( which was thirty minutes later ) , the regular guy told me the replacement guy was placed already. He would leave the morning , of the day my regular guy came back from vacation. It was so simple .. As I thought through this , some basic things emerged :

1.       Jobs are available – they just have to agree to step in

2.       Simple jobs – Security , taking care of elders who need help, household help are available all the time

3.       These guys are not finicky – they manage change of place , environment very easily—Being adaptive was natural to them

4.       They are well knit as a group

5.       They Communicate amongst themselves as a group all the time – So they know , where and what opening is available

6.       They have no concept of being on the “bench “

7.       Support themselves as a group

How simple was this ? At many a time , we complicate things ,  put too much thought in to things that  can be done in a simple manner , stress ourselves , stress others out and make it difficult for everyone !

Life can be simple – Enjoy the most and think in a simple manner and execute things in a simple fashion ! !
