This is terrible Nisha. Don't worry about writing if you don't feel like. I am having a bad day myself. It's annoying how things other people say can ruin our entire day.

Sudhi... I wish I could knock the teeth in of the person who hurt you. I am serious. I guess I am not Raanav Parashar

Terrible!!

Leaders DO NOT know how to encourage and appreciate and be positive anymore

Its all a race about how negative and nasty they can be under the garb of "This is just constructive criticism" "For your own good"

I would punish such leaders by making them eat their own... umm..

I think I have played this rodeo for too long I am filled with cynicism I dont give a damn. Salary do aur bhaad mein jao types

I pity all the 20 something that are going to get shat on for the next 40 years of their life so they can be "better professionals and rock stars"

Unless you all strike out on your own, sadly, you are looking at endless days of pointless meetings and tornadoes of criticism

We are not in Nouf's industry, we are not saving lives over here

Can the maalik calm the ---- down please?😡

Striking out on your own is not always easy either. It takes a lot of work and time to get a business successful. I know.

Plans & Persecutor

He went to the poker game with a similar face. His mother was F-U-R-I-O-U-S

When they returned around 1 AM, she was uncontrollable. No she did not yell or scream

Just telling him off

“Its like I don’t even exist in this house any more. How can you do this to me?”

Satyen changed and went to bed

She dragged Raanav Parashar into the room and insisted they have a talk, Satyen asked her to take it outside

She spent a couple hours crying

It was like her own life had ended

Satyen asked her to introspect and told her “who Raanav spends his life with should be his choice and his alone”

But she would not have any of it

He reminded her how she reacted when he brought home a Scottish girl right after college and how her behavior caused the girl to break up with him

“You are not buying a product, you cannot tick checkboxes”

“At our status and level in some ways HE IS Satya”

“Kaise keh sakte ho aa paise, he cannot live his life for shareholders and OR and news media”

“I DO right?”

“Who aapki foolishness hai Smrita… let him do what brings him happiness”

“They are umm… sure they are educated… but aap DEKHO Satya… I mean, if they are sitting here, can you imagine?” ‘Like among the original Renaissance paintings and French period furniture?”

“Its just STUFF Smrita”

“then why did you let me get it? We could have lived in a shack”

Satyen was lost for words for once

“I admit I love the trappings of wealth… both are not mutually exclusive. He is entitled to happiness, just like Lekha and rakshit”

“THAT wedding will be talk of the town, THIS one will be front page news for all the wrong reasons”

“I am tired of arguing, I have had barely two hours of sleep I am going to see my trainer for yoga in the front lawn and head out to work, wahi par I will get ready… I am tired”

“Satya” she sprinted after him, afraid of having gone too far

“Can we talk tonight Smri?” he pecked her cheek and took off

She went back charging into Raanav’s room, he was asleep face down

Her “baby”

The room was designed to his preference, modern furniture, sparse, in walnut and oak, with modern art on the wall

For a man with classic taste he quite liked the open cool arrangement

“Her apartment must be smaller than this room” she muttered and wandered to the wall of French windows

“I will have to run into her everyday”

“I will absolutely not include her in plans I have made with Lekha. I mean, this girl would not even have a clue what they are”

“I better warn her” “He was my ally, my confidante… WHEN did it go from honestly commenting on that family at the Shrivastavs poojas, to falling in LOVE with their daughter?”

“Raanav has betrayed me”

“This is so not done”

“Why cant he get her out of his system and let me plan a real wedding with a real person?”

“Yeah I am going to introduce that idea to him”

He stirred and rolled over

“SO GORGEOUS” she whispered looking at his face

“Instead of some known industrialist’s daughter getting to see this face every morning, it will be that Mathur girl

He sat up in shock

“What are you doing here? No privacy required?” he scowled

“Oh honey” she grabbed him hugging him with a motherly flourish as she pulled away angrily

“Can you please let me sleep?”

“OK… OK…. Sure… sure… but will you listen to one quick thing?”

“Whatt?”

“Umm.. just continue seeing her OK?” she smiled mysteriously she cleverly left out the part “I will make sure you break up with her” “this is my life’s mission now”

“OK?... Umm.. you walked in to say that?”

“Umm… yeah yeah babe” she hugged him again

He pulled away and curled up in bed

She let herself out with renewed vigor and enthusiasm

“No one will know” she said out loud

“AAJ RAKHI hai?” Satyen texted from the lawn

“Haan? To?”

“Where is Kalyani?” “did u arrange everything?”

“Umm yeah? (scoffing) Its 6:17 AM Satya… Pooja is at 11” “Let my baby sleep off his jet lag”

“OK… I will stay home in the morning”

“Sure love”

Raanav stretched and yawned and looked at his phone

FT Viveka

She was drying her hair with a giant towel wrapped around it

He smiled and did not say anything

“Did you accidentally call me?” she asked naively

“Haha… Good morning”

“Hi! Kaise ho? Raanav?”

“How are you?”

“Umm.. just got out of the shower, we are heading to Chachu’s at 8 and then to NGO”

“What about seeing me?” he winked

“Umm.. I … I don’t know” she turned a bright pink

“Are you wearing a saree?”

She began to laugh out loud…. “I am”

“Send me a picture”

“I will… how is your jet lag?” her expression softened

“Its pretty bad”

“Did you win the convertible?”

“No I did not”

“If it costed a lakh or two I would buy it for you” she said spontaneously

He did not know what to say, he did not expect that generosity

“Woww” he gasped

“What?”

“Would you?”

“Haan” she smiled shyly

“Meet me today, even if it only for a few minutes?”

“You are supposed to do Rakhi too, and then get off jet lag”

He smiled mischievously as wicked thoughts crossed his mind

She read his mind and looked away

“You owe me a saree look”

“I will send you a PICTURE” she nodded hiding a smile

Live look”

“Come see me at the NGO” she invited

“Text me the address” his eyes lit up

“We will meet out in public” she teased reminding him he cannot touch her waist

“You will make a good persecutor” he hissed at how she tormented him

“Who knew”

“I will drive up to your place if you don’t text me” he warned

“How did your Mom… umm.. react?”

“Shes fine” he said with a blank look

Her face fell

“Thi (nk about it some more if you like Raanav its not worth alienating your mother)

He cut her off

“No Viveka” he said, as they ended the call

I ABSOLUTELY know that😭

Congratulations

I would just be happy if companies trained leaders. 99% of them are utterly unworthy. They all score a big fat zero in EQ

I am happy earning my paycheck, and enjoying life with my family. I dont care about the millions they make or billions they make

None of us take it with us

We definitely could use kindness and thoughtfulness though

Nisha is online, are we getting one more?

They are umm… sure they are educated… but aap DEKHO Satya… I mean, if they are sitting here, can you imagine?” ‘Like among the original Renaissance paintings and French period furniture?”

Does this lady thinks before she spit out such words? 😡😲

Did you accidentally call me?” she asked naively

☺️

What is Raanav mother up to? Trouble in paradise already. Hope they sail the boat.
