Kalpana , senior Human resources manager ,HVMC Bank and heading india operations for the bank,40 years,smart,good looking ,intelligent person... is busy doing a report for presentation on "cost effective methods of hiring talents ".She is having her internal meeting with her team of 10 people to gather more pointers and they are brain storming on the topic.Sita (One of the brightest team member) stands up in the middle of the discussion and excused herself from the meeting. The meeting continued for another 1 hour and finally the presentation is done...Now Kalpana is looking for Sita to make the ppt and beauty the same, so that she can send to the Management team for approvals. She comes out the conference room and sees sita in tears ...
K: Sita...what happened to you...i was looking for you for the project...but guess you are not in the right frame of mind. Come lets have a coffee in my cabin
Sita follows Kalpana to her big cabin.
K:Now tell me what happened...
S:Sobbing ...Mam...I just broke up with my boyfriend due to a mis understanding and he did not give me a chance to speak my part ...it's all finished...we were made for each other but...it's all over...i am hurt...
K:Look Sita ...this is office we are all here for professional work and we should not mix personal matters here...but we are all humans and we get affected by these...but we need to deal with our personal problems ourselves. I am sure you are strong, smart and intelligent and you can help yourself and I cannot help you here in office...but let's meet over a coffee at my Place and discuss on this...may be I can be of some help to you...now wipe your tears...go concentrate on the Presentation and Mr Mehta will help you with pointers that I suggested...Things could become better...never loose hope...
Sita feels a little better,she admires Kalapana...so as other...goes to her desk and gets ready for the project presentation making.
It's a half day for Kalpana as she has some parent interaction at her son's school...who is now in his 10th standards and she has taken a half day to attend the same.

K:Raghav ...just stop it...principal has called us to share Adi's results with us...i told you yesterday night ,you forgot.

R:crazy about you...Ok oK... I remember all ...i was just teasing you...now smile, we are near principal's room...else principal mam will think we to be grumpy parents...
Kalpi smiles...The peon informs them to just wait for 5 mins and then they can meet principal .They sit on the waiting area and saw Adi and Ana coming towards the principal's room.
Adi comes running to Raghav and hugs him.he hugs him and puts a kiss on his forehead.
A:Dad ...good to see you,I missed you yesterday...wanted to speak to you...
