Ratna who acts as a horegallu ,was a colleague of the writer. She was middle aged, always smiling and was with the company for 25 years. She also did more things. Every day during lunch hour she would sit with one of her colleagues and engage in a long chat with them. When asked what they chatted she would say 'They share their troubles with me. I only listen'. Every one needs a Horegallu in their life's journey. It can be a break, a talk with a friend, vacation, or even an argument which refreshes / refocuses you on your path. Some people are good listeners and trust worthy not to publicize your secrets / problems. We need such people in our lives and should thank them whenever we can.
