Last week I visited a friend at his office in Kormangala & in between our chats , the topic of current gloom and how it affected his business crept up. Later we went down to a nearby cafe where he lamented about how the job sucked & that the belt tightening exercises in these recessionary periods made matters worse in office.
Back at his office again I noticed that the lift seemed to take a very long time to come down, getting impatient I turned to him and said ‘ Chal, lets walk up - hardly 3 floors’. ‘Yaar’ my friend replied wearily ‘ bus yehi ek cheez hai that is uplifting in this office & you want me to avoid that?”
