Cockpit ritual

After long time I went back to my office. My manager asked another colleague to mentor me. Now what does he do? He ignores I am around first he goes to three different cubicles where images of lord shiva, ganesh and saibaba are kept on the desk of his colleagues and does nummun! That’s obvious, I can imagine that much. Then he dials couple of numbers while informing me that first call of the day he makes to either his mum or wife. That’s great lady luck, I say to myself. Then he opens his caller list of 40 people and runs his finger through looking for anyone with name lukshmi. Then he found client by the name parmeshwara, next comes jai ganesha, venkatesha. In south he has no shortage of names of gods as first name. He then tells me he got appointment to see someone on same day! Wow success! I don’t know what drives him with so much optimism that he will not be thrown out of door or slamed on the phone! Is it praying on his desk? Is he committed to get positive response from somewhere in a day so he does not let down blessings of his mother and wife? Or his style of calling people by the names of god before he calls anybody else. He greets his colleague maria and praises her for keeping bible on her desk… I wonder what would work for me? Faith? Principle? Commitment to family? fasting? rituals? Help me god to choose that works for me!! He managed to reach his target for the month in one weekend, whatever the reason!
