Feeling of Pride..


When dreams come true, it becomes hard to believe if it is real or I am dreaming? This was my reaction on friday, 23rd Jan,2009... When I won Sapient core value award - "Creativity", "The Best Sourcer of the Year", an iphone for achieving 200%.. What else could I ask for ? Being part of Cheers4peers initiative (recognition programme within Hiring Team) I use to think that God I wish I could get one of the award. When day started I was all set, thinking on the logistics that everything was in place. M's card n flowers, P's surprise plan, flowers for the team... When N kicked off the event, I was sitting in the corner, thinking now my job is over.. Now the show is in P's hand, let me sit and clap... First announcement was made for the iphone winners, P called out names, and second name was mine.. well it was not a surprise.. Then came the turn of half yearly award which started with core value winners, When P called out creativity, he mentioned shaadi.com, I realised it was none other than me, He mentioned other stuff also, which I ve been doing.. I was overwhelmed, tears in my eyes, almost about to cry.. I felt so nice.. to recieve the "Creativity" award. The memento says- " Sapient recognise Rupinder Kaur for living and displaying core value creativity" .. :-) Again i sat and thought now its over for me.. Then came the turn of Yearly awards, Rookie was announced, and then Best sourcer guessing started, I left the room to arrange flowers for P, I entered the room and I could hear my name as guessing from few people in the room. With the basket in my hand, I could listen P calling out my name as the winner... It was the moment of esctasy with surprise. I couldnot believe it, for a moment i just felt its a dream. I got the award from K (MD).. I was so happy... Later, I was smiling at myself, I worked out with the CD guy for the certificates of Core value, Then also got changes in the certificates of Best sourcer from the vendor, didnt know I am doing it for myself.. Ha ha ha.. Only thing i could thought after all this was to Thank God for bringing such a day in my life..
