meetu talks . . .

Having Meeta for a friend is never having to consult the local yellow pages again! From where to find the freshest iceberg lettuce to which is the closest pharmacy open at midnight. Meeta not only knows but is also generous with her knowledge and, more importantly, with her time.

Meeta is a Chartered Accountant but she’d rather not keep books. She is also an MBA but she’d rather not run a business. She has all that it takes to make it big in a ‘conventional’ career. And she has the maturity and courage to ignore it and follow her heart.

See that petite, bespectacled lady in the fairly empty theatre at the morning show? The one seriously taking notes with the aid of a flashlight - that’s her. Twice a week, week after week, watching every new release, researching it, making notes, critiquing it and putting it all together to give us ‘without giving the movie away’… and while at it … shsshing the ‘not so involved in the movie’ love birds, raging at the rude, poorly behaved ticket seller / buyer / litterer. That’s typical - meticulous, organized, won’t hesitate to speak her mind Meeta.

Not for her the lazy, haphazard ‘things will get done when they get done’ attitude. With Meeta things get done when, no, before they need to get done. And are then neatly crossed out from the TO DO list tacked to the fridge … or was that one on the list on the desktop … no … the wardrobe then? And did I tell you about her temper? …

… let me switch to safer pastures before I get a frank and forthright critique of my writing. Meeta takes her responsibilities as a diligent citizen quite seriously. She volunteers with an NGO looking after underprivileged children and is an active member of the ‘Save Pune Traffic Movement’.

In addition to all of this, she cares for a demanding family with two little kids and a big kid masquerading as her husband. She rules over a little army of house-help with a firm but gentle hand and runs a 24×7 open house for extended family and friends. Seriously where do I go to buy your kind of energy Meeta?
