Rekha Menon Joins the Un-employed Group
We, the technologists usually go straight to the first floor of Charutha, after casting attendance with Rachana. We go to the kitchen for an extra tea, or to chat with the "ground guys" such as Biju, Gireesh, Swami etc. Prasanna Madam was always busy, and considered us as "jus kids."
One day, while going to kitchen, we saw a girl, drooping down on the table and writing something in Malayalam. Keeping our muscles tight, we went out of kitchen and had tea on the open back-yard. Then appears the same girl... may be one of the tallest and thinnest I have ever seen .In typical Trichur accent, she introduced herself as Rekha Menon, Daughter of Sunny Menon.. now joined as production executive. Now assisting Mohanan Sir (N. Mohanan). He had given her a task to review the entries in a Drama festival held last week... within few minutes she become the centre of gravity of Charutha office.
Although there were other "Communications" people in Charutha, such as Kottukappalli, Chintha Ravi, Menon Sir, Sujamol etc, they used to keep a distance from us, the Satcom people. But Rekha used to mingle with us and often got firing from Mohanan sir for delayed dead-lines. One of the passions introduced by Rekha was, smuggling Lactogen from kitchen and eating it raw at the back-yard.
