Small Story 208"Professionalism Should Be Remembered" Shalini landed at Dubai International Airport, where she was greeted by Ali, the personal staff member of a renowned media and advertisement company. She had recently been offered the position of Regional Coordinator by the company after impressing Atkinson, the Managing Director of Dubai Creative World, with her work during her time in Bengaluru at a leading creative company. After a brief rest at her hotel, the Sheraton—famous for its top-tier service—Shalini was escorted to the office, located in the expansive Media City. She was warmly welcomed by receptionist Mala, who offered her tea, biscuits, and nuts. Shalini was then led to Atkinson's office, which had an international flair, complete with time zone clocks for various locations around the world. "Welcome to Dubai Creative World, Shalini! How was your journey?" Atkinson asked with a friendly smile. "It was fine, Mr. Atkinson," Shalini responded, feeling a sense of excitement. After being introduced to the team, Atkinson handed her the official appointment letter for the position of Regional Coordinator. The terms and conditions of the offer left Shalini thrilled, especially knowing she would be staying in the luxurious Sheraton Hotel for the next ten days for training. Upon completion of her training, she would be provided with a flat to stay in. Shalini reflected on how much she owed to her previous company, where her presentations and knowledge had earned her a great reputation. She also remembered her boss, Ram, who had given her the proper training and guidance, and how his mentorship had helped her reach this point. Later that day, Shalini called her mother, Pratima, to share the good news about her package. "All of this is because of your previous company and your boss Ram, you should never forget that," Pratima reminded her. "I know, mummy," Shalini said, nodding. "For my success today, Ram is responsible." K.Ragavan 7-4-25all story e08
