Nauman and Gaurav walked into the office to see Karan and Atush already taking coffee in the pantry area.
“Dude, I told you to wait for us”, Gaurav complained.
“And you?” Nauman asked pointing to Karan.
“So, you are not liking your new project?”, Gaurav inquired.
“Well, as they say, ‘Life is what happens, when you are busy making plans’, I think instead of thinking, you better start doing something.” Gaurav said.
Nauman and Gaurav went to get their mugs. Atush also joins them to attend his call. Nauman and Gaurav worked in the same project. While Atush was gaining momentum in his projects working on proposals, Karan had recently joined this office and project. He was taking knowledge transfer(KT) sessions from individuals in his projects to familiarize himself with the work.
Meanwhile, Nauman and Gaurav came back.
“Dude, I just saw two HR arm-wrestling over a holiday home.” Atush came running into the pantry area.
“Nah re, just kidding. They were beat-boxing.”
“Like?” Atush asked.
“No bro, I don’t want to seem so eager. You all saw how different she is. I won’t be doing any standard thing here”
“But I don’t want to look needy.”
“I better call her.” He proceeds to dial her number. “By the way, Romero? Really? Is that all you could think of?”
Gaurav turns to Karan
“So, when is your MBA truck moving from thinking stage to doing stage?”
“The driver of the truck has abandoned the truck because of bad

road conditions.”
“Don’t worry dude, ache din are coming. Your roads would be fine soon”
He looked distraught and consternated.
“Some boy answered the phone and said the number doesn’t belong to any Akriti.”
