Meena the RJ

I heard this very inspiring story a while back at work about a girl named Meena.

It just so happened that Tania and Sandeep Khosla (the two owners of our company and the company in our building) visited a family for dinner. Meena was a cook who was darned in the traditional Indian garb: shalwar kameez. They found her to be educated and pretty intelligent, so they invited her to work as a secretary at TSK Design/Khosla Associates.

She showed up to work on her first day, dressed up in professional corporate attire...
She ended up being a great secretary and even helped the graphic designers by taking the time to learn design software and helping with production aspects of the design work. Her hard work and inquisitiveness helped her move on to another larger company where she was a secretary.

Now, apparently, shes a successful Radio Jockey at one of the top radio stations in Karnataka. She's married, has a child, more money than her husband...and is literally supporting her own family.
