Another day at work

At 0855 hrs ( 0900 hrs should have been the right time, impatient that I am) I called Roshni.

" Step out, man"

"Sorry"

" I am outside your building, come"

" Was I suppose to go with you? I didn't tell you that."

" Of course you did"

"No I didn't"

"Last evening, while chatting online."

"No I didn't"

"You are damn funny man."

A tamer " But I am not ready as yet"

Long silence.

" Chill I am already on my way to office, I was just kidding." And of course loud guffawing.

I was at office by 0935, for the day long product committee meeting. Various team leaders from centers across the country, meeting to review business, plan for the new month, and promise to run a common business plan across the nation.

It is easy to run your fief when the central office can only pussyfoot.

Why can't we ever take emphatic decisions, guess impotence is the appropriate word. Why does one have to please everyone. Why can't one do what is right. When you are doing the right thing or being a good leader you will rarely manage to please everyone.

Is this about a natural leader???? Is this merely my bravado?

The lunch was crappy, with the vegetarian that I am on Wednesdays.

The last session of the day stretched with the IITian cabin crew asking inane questions. Why does he make a fool of himself. Is it, as they would say at college, 'desperate class participation' or out and out dim wittedness.

Evening saw Roshni trying to be cool, was she trying to be cool or trying to hit back for the morning. I will like to believe the first, let us see what she says when she reads this.

Was famished by the time I reached home.
