Separation is always painful - but, at the same time, is an occasion to rejoice and celebrate some independence in the knowing that 'you can'. Today, Meghana Bhat - my mentor, my friend, my 'bitch-master', my everything in the office, will quit. It is, I hope, an affirmation of her trust in me and my abilities and obviously, an implication that it is time for her to move on and do her thing, because 'she can' .
Meghana has and will continue to be one helluva mind-numbingly-creative maverick, who will try anything once, and everything good, many times over. Her sense of direction and her sense of clarity on issues ranging from a lousy brief to a dollop of ice-cream will be missed, and dearly at that.
With that being said, I salute my mentor, and will now connect with her and plan on how we can manage to take the ride home together. Who said gossip was bad?
Hugs,
Jonathan
