On a little thank you note!

"So you are Prasad! I have been looking to meet you.", came a strong voice from behind.
I turned back. There stood a tall, fair person with a friendly smile.

I couldn't recognize who it was. He introduced himself and then we carried on for long on our conversation.

As it turned out, he was Ands from our Canada office. I had communicated with him only once before when I sent a thank you mail appreciating one of his initiatives which had helped me. Little did I know one mail could have him lookout for me when in India.

He is very soft spoken. He had recently shared a few of his thoughts pertaining to a module we are working on. That was in line with what I was looking out for. My mail had encouraged him to do more of the same. He was happy he had an interested audience I guess. It's surprising how a simple thank you note can motivate the best of people. :)

Its true of me too! :)
A couple of mails I got when I left my previous employer, took me by surprise. I got the best of compliments when I left than when I stayed on!! Some of them were from the ones I hardly expected. It's pleasant to read them once in a while :)
