Celebrating Rajat Joshi: How His Selfless Efforts Inspired Our Community

Rajat has truly been a driving force behind this CiteHR initiative - his selfless contribution for the betterment of others has been an inspiration to many of us - matched only by certain members like Leo. His contributions have been useful to thousands visiting the network, and he has also recently been a driving force behind the initiation of the offline meets.

As a humble thanks from me and the network members, I would like to introduce a special rank befitting his selfless and helpful nature.

Rajat Joshi is our First Cite Knight!

Congratulations Rajat, you truly deserve it. And thank you, Sid, for introducing the new rank and choosing Rajat, who is truly a Knight in Shining Armor.

Regards,
SC

Hats off to the CITE KNIGHT :)

You truly deserve that; the amount of support you have always led towards every activity is absolutely mind-blowing! We welcome our knight in shining armor! I salute your contribution to this site.

I was out of station and couldn't attend the event. Keep it up.

Bhawana

Hi Rajat,

Congratulations on your well-deserved place! Anyways, you were the uncrowned king, this is just official...

Best of luck, see you around.

Rakhi

Congratulations, Sir Rajat,

This is a befitting accolade from citeHR to you. Your selflessness and helpfulness I have personally experienced when you suggested a very good salary structure for me at around 12:30 in the night.

HEY PEOPLE - SHOULD WE NOT ADDRESS MR. RAJAT AS SIR RAJAT? AFTER ALL, HE IS THE FIRST CITEKNIGHT...?!!!

Wishing you all the best.

Warmest regards,

Devjit

Hi Devjit,

I fully agree with your comment! Even Sir Rajat has helped me immensely with issues and ideas dealing with retention strategies, even in the middle of the night!! Thank you, Sir.

Warm Regards,
Bhawana

Even though I have joined recently, the contributions made by Mr. Rajat Joshi have been very useful to me while going through the archives of Cite HR. Congratulations to you, Sir!

Best Regards,
Anu

Dear all,

Oh my goodness.. I can't believe this..

Sid, thank you so much..

I am sure if you recall our last meeting, I am thankful to you for starting this wonderful forum which has enriched me immensely both professionally and personally. In fact, this forum has given me a lot more than I have given, and I am sure all my colleagues here would like to thank you for your selfless efforts to make this platform a great knowledge base.

Thanks once again for the honor!!

Dear Swastik,

Thanks, and I am sure you would also earn a similar rank soon in the near future for your recent efforts and contributions. I do regularly read your postings on various issues which have been very educative and a great learning for me.

Dear Kiran,

Thanks..

Hope you would actively drive and make Hyderabad meet a successful one.. :)

Dear Manjunath,

Thanks for your warm wishes..

Dear Preeti,

Thank you so much, Preeti. Please may I request you two things: please drop Jee and sir, and just call me "Rajat" :) Don't worry about missing all the action, would invite you to the Mumbai meet. Thanks to technology, the world indeed has become small, and knowledge/ideas are available at your fingertips.

Dear (Cite Contribution),

Thanks a lot. After all, credit for the Pune meet goes to you. I appreciate your efforts and hard work in calling up everyone to make sure they attend the meet. Indeed, I see the natural "leadership" qualities in you and assure you that you have a bright future ahead. We are all privileged to be associated with you.

Keep it up.

Dear Phanish,

THANKS.. :) and I hope you would help Kiran and Manjunath to organize the Hyderabad meet.

Dear Archana,

Thanks, Archana. Don't worry much about the Delhi meet, as I would try to attend the same as I am scheduled to be there sometime in the near future.

Dear Shyamli,

Thanks.. :) I enjoy your postings in the humor section.

Dear Vaibhavi,

Thanks for your wishes, and in fact, I would like to thank them as they have helped me in learning on the topics. I sincerely believe that if you help someone, it comes back to you.

Dear Dhanjith,

Thanks a ton. Treat? :) In fact, I was musing the other day if I could join you guys for the Kerala meet. I would love to, as I have stayed and studied in Trivandrum for about three years, and it's a beautiful state. Unfortunately, I don't have any professional work as such in South India. In the near future, if I plan a holiday to Kerala, I would surely inform you in advance and give you a treat. :)

Hey, thanks for your lovely postings in Humor. It's a sheer delight to read them. :)

Dear Srinaren,

Thanks, and indeed, it is a humbling experience to read the comments of the members. Yes, you are right, and I certainly look forward to enhancing the depth and quality of discussions. Also wish you all the best for the Bangalore meet.

Dear Gunjan,

THANKS A TON.. :D Please make sure you play an active part/role in the Hyderabad meet.

Dear Samvedan,

Thank you for your warm wishes, and I am personally delighted to meet you as I was right about my intuition that I would recognize you in the Pune meet. In fact, your presence in the Pune meet was like a catalyst in making this a great one. Surely look forward to interacting with you, Sir!

Dear Himaji,

THANKS.. :)

Dear Chandini,

Thanks, and I am happy to note you found my postings useful and informative.

Dear Anuradha Zingade,

Thank you, and hope to meet you during the Mumbai meet.. :)

THREE CHEERS TO SID!!! :D for his technical support and helping us in making CiteHR a great interactive forum and a great learning experience..

Regards,

Rajat

Hi Rajat,

Welcome, the KING! Wow, that is called an amazing spirit; you have replied to everyone's mail. I was wondering why till now there were no comments from our site knight, but now they are there. Surely looking forward to meeting you as we are just three people confirmed for this meet, including you and SID we will be five. Congrats once again.

Archna

Hi Rajat Sir,

Even though you don't like being addressed as sir, I feel that when addressing stalwarts and veterans like you, we novices have no other choice.

Heartfelt congratulations on being conferred the title. I wish that many such laurels should adorn you.

J. Subramanian.

Dear Rajatji,

A special thanks and congratulations on being nominated for and winning an award as a "knight"! 😃 😃

Hats off to your selfless devoted work... Let this flow of knowledge spread from one member to another of Citehr.

Rajat, I have one suggestion... and I think you are the right person to take the initiative to start our own Citehr club... by having an annual get-together and other functions like knowledge sharing, and more.

Each region will have a region head who will drive the group and ensure that it stays connected with the other Citehr groups (region-wise). So, every region will have its meetings and discussions on a monthly basis regarding the current happenings in the HR field.

There will be a nominal charge for membership, and responsibilities will be distributed among the members.

I believe that if we proceed in this manner, we will one day have our own magazine named "CITEHR," which will encourage newcomers and motivate existing members with a positive force.

I am eager to know your feedback on this...

I also request all seniors to share their opinions on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Mona

Dear Rajat Sir,

First of all, I must thank you for acknowledging my email and encouraging me for the event. I also support Mona for the proposal of the Annual Meet and region-wise meets. As you know, most of the regions have initiated these types of meets, but we need to harmonize them to make it a success and a trend.

Looking forward to your views on this issue. Congratulations once again.

Regards,
Gunjan

Mona,

Great thinking. We can implement with the help of "THE SENIOR MEMBERS" like Mr. Rajat, Mr. Samvedan, Mr. Swastik, Mr. Sidhu, Ms. Nambotia, and Ms. Archana. (Please forgive me if I missed out any names)

Dear Rajat,

I think this commendation by citehr endorses my email to you a few weeks back! I fully agree with what has been decided, and congratulations and the best of good wishes to you!

Jeroo

:D :D :D :!: :!: :!:

A great suggestion by Mona.

When all other cities were planning to organize a meet, I felt a bit bad as nobody, including myself, was able to take any initiative from Chennai, which is also sure to have a good number of our forum members.

If we have a region-wise approach, I think it will surely help people like me. We can attend the meets organized in our region. I hope it will take full shape in the coming weeks, which will also help me contribute my part to this wonderful forum.

J. Subramanian.

Hi Rajat,

Congratulations, yaaaar! You have proved that nothing is impossible.

Nitin Parijaat

Hi Rajat,

Congratulations. People like you, Leo, and many others are really the drivers behind the success of this site. You are a source of inspiration to us. Keep it up!

Thanks & Regards,
Deepali

Adding to what is being discussed, offline meet is a shared vision now. Initially, Sidhartha Roy, the visionary of this site, had plans to arrange a national event at least once a year. He also planned to arrange offline meets in every city with a considerable number of members on a monthly basis.

Offline meets have already begun in a few cities. In fact, the teams in different cities are arranging big events in their regions. Once this goes live, we look forward to the national meet.

Even after the big events are over, the teams will continue to work to arrange meets every month as it is a live source of knowledge and effective networking.

An appeal to every member interested in offline meet: please get in touch with the team in your city.

Regards,

Hi Archana,

Welcome to the KING.

Wow, that is called an amazing spirit; you have replied to everyone's mail.

I was wondering why there were no comments from our site knight until now, but now they are there.

Surely looking forward to meeting you as we are just three people confirmed for this meet, including you and SID we will be five.

Congrats once again.

Thanks.

I am sure by now you have a sizeable number of participants for the Delhi Meet.

Hi Dhanjith,

Hi Rajat (I don't feel much comfort in calling you like that),

I was really waiting for your reply. That was just excellent that you replied to each and everyone's mail. These kinds of things make you special.

Also waiting for your treat. Hope you will come to Kerala soon.

Cheers,

Dhanjith

Thanks for calling me just "Rajat".

Best wishes for the Kerala meet, and I am sure you would get a treat from me when I am there next. 😃 Besides, now you would be able to recognize me.

Hi Mr. J Subramanian,

Hi Rajat Sir,

Even though you don't like being addressed as sir, I feel that while addressing stalwarts and veterans like you, we novices have no other choice.

Hearty congrats on being conferred the title. I wish many such laurels should adorn you.

J. Subramanian.

Thanks for your warm wishes, sir. 😃 We all are students in this forum as we learn from each other. Even you have helped immensely by asking the right questions.

Hi Shivakumar,

Hats off Cite Knight.

Though I joined CITEHR recently, I want to congratulate you from my heart that you are truly deserving of this title. Keep posting.

Note: I read a few of your posts but still have not finished all.

Thanks a lot. 😃

Also, hope you finish reading my unread postings. 😊

Hi Monaji. 😃

Dear Rajatji,

A special thanks and congratulations on being nominated and winning an award as a "knight".

Hats off to your selfless devoted work. Let this flow of knowledge spread from one member to another of CITEHR.

I think if we work in this way, truly speaking, one very fine day we will have our own Magazine by the name of "CITEHR," which will encourage newcomers and motivate existing members with a positive force.

I am very eager to know your feedback on this.

I also request all seniors to share their opinion on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Mona

Thanks, Mona, for your warm wishes. I really appreciate your comments. Yes, that's a brilliant idea from your side to start the CITEHR club. We await to see the responses from the offline meets across the four locations.

Certainly, we like your vision, and I am sure we would be somewhere close to that based on the meets.

Hi Gunjan,

Dear Rajat Sir,

Hi Rohan,

Great Rajat.

Bingooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks, I look forward to your help in organizing the Mumbai meet. By the way, you are the only member from Mumbai besides Vinisha with whom I had the privilege to meet and interact.

Dear Mrs. Jeroo Chandiok,

Dear Rajat,

I think this commendation by CITEHR endorses my email to you a few weeks back!

I fully agree with what has been decided, and congratulations and the best of good wishes to you!

Jeroo

Thank you so much for your wishes.

Certainly, I look forward to meeting you at the Mumbai meet and discussing your note as well.

Hi Nitin,

Hi Rajat,

Congrats yaar, you have proved that nothing is impossible.

Nitin Parijaat

Thanks. Yes, you are right that nothing is impossible; it's all in the mind.

Hi Deepali,

Hi Rajat,

Congratulations.

People like you, Leo, and many more are really the drivers behind the success of this cite. You are a source of inspiration to us.

Keep it up.

Thanks & Regards,

Deepali

Many thanks for your warm wishes.

Leo's contribution to this forum is absolutely beyond comparison, and besides me, there are other members who have been driving the forum: Swastik, Sidhu, Samvedna, Shyamli, Archana, etc. I am happy that they are with us in this forum.

Once again, thanks to all the members.

Regards,

Rajat

Hey Rajat,

Congrats!
