Me and Rat began our journey with a
small dream in our relationship “we want to work together”. It
was a romantic dream.
As we worked together we realized we
both are different
I am serious and want work, he is jolly
and does a lot of work.
I needed results, and he would dream,
I needed action, he would generate
ideas
Our difference reached a stage, where
we no longer wanted to see each other – rather I did not want to
see him. He was determined to not break our relationship nor close
GK, so we continued.
When our different persona clouded my
thoughts, I could only see “muck” in Rat. I cried and curse
myself for such a stupid dream of “working together”. I wished I
had never thought of working together – seeing and working together
made me absolute impatience for him. Working closely highlighted lot
of other personal differences - sometimes Rat even would ask me “Am
I suppose to answer this as a colleague or as a husband?” Kids were
lost – Our daughter Asawari made it lighter for us “its okay to
fight”.
We decided to work separately – we
started working on two different project. He continued with Geniekids
and I started working on Aarohi. We decided to not to interfere with
each other and true to his promise, Rat never interfered with Aarohi.
We both bloomed
Our working places bloomed.
We still are together but our
definition of working together has changed.
