SOFT CORNER

Few of my batch-mates tease me, saying ‘u r among favorites of Dean’. Though, I don’t agree on this, but the fact is that he has a soft corner for me; as I feel or as he likes my way of going about, my initiative, leadership, assignment, humor, etc.




Last Sunday (19th Sept) I happen to join him for Mass (Private) as I had Conjunctivitis (eye-infection). In the mass I realized that his liking has one more tag, i.e., an emotional feeling for me as both of us have ‘departed fathers’ and ‘aging mothers’. Thus a bond develops to attach to, feel for and give a thought to.



The love of mother and absence of father were common to us, thus we could sympathize with or at times feel close to other. I know Dean was rather close to his father and also to mother, as he shared this to me few times. He knows me well and of family as a moderator. Thus, soft corner as I thought was just due to my being respectful, fair dealings or my qualities were only partially correct.



Other than this he likes me as a Tribal (himself has disclosed), because he worked in Orrisa. Thus, his likeness and bond-ness, all the more.



Thus all factors makeup for this soft corner, yet I have felt this soft corner excludes academic and official matters. Surely no familiarization when exercising the authority,
