Good morning, dear

'Why are you giving me rotten tomatoes?'

'Pick good ones, mind you!'

Hello, my dear new bride

Are you comfortable in our quarters?

Basic facilities may be less here

You'll get used to this in course of time, okay?

I have no problem with comfort

Must be around 11:00 p.m

'I don't know who'

'Someone was screaming like a lunatic'

'I just couldn't sleep'

That is...her husband

Has a problem with his leg

Sorry, madam

Sir, good morning

Last night, did you watch Asian Games on TV?

Our man Vivek was a damp squib as always

If he had run like he did in the Nationals he would've at least got the 4th position

But his younger sister isn't one bit like him

She will definitely bag a medal Just wait and watch

Then that Chinese-

'Babu, I asked you for masala milk?'

Sir

People here often say the sports buff in this office

...was only your father

They are not the least bit bothered if India bags a medal in the Asian games

Only concerned about not getting 'masala milk'

Plus their problem is why you got your father's job after his demise

- 'Babu?' - Coming, da!

'Whaaat?!'

Ready, sir Your masala milk

Madam, sir wants you in his cabin

Sir...?

What is this?

You come in as you please

Sir, I had some work

- That's why I was delayed - Hahn! I understand

Your husband is a handicap

'Isn't he disabled?'

You have to do all the work singlehanded

If you want, I can pitch in-

I won't be late again, thank you

Desperate scumbag!

"Asking permission from me or you"

"Does the fresh breeze blow?"

"Does the cloud shower rain asking the soil or the grain?"

"Even the moon that feeds the night shines for the world so bright"

"A moonbeam's shining light follows you day and night"

"Does the fresh breeze blow asking permission from me or you?"

"Life is never what it is as per anyone's wish list"

"What you desired, what transpired like chalk and cheese; misfired"

"A girl as tender as a flower has waltzed into your life forever"

"Even if you are sinking in melancholy she gave herself to you willingly"

"Wanting you to win once more she prayed for you as never before"

"In a garden filled with flowers bountiful among the flora she is a rose beautiful"

"Why be in solitude like this without living together in bliss?"

"Does the fresh breeze blow asking permission from me or you?"

Kathir sir

A newcomer has been appointed in the Accounts department

DSO sir wanted you to sign this circular

Attempting an exam for this post

...he was the only eligible candidate amongst 10 people selected on merit

Eligible!

Only him

The most unfair news

In the merit list of 10 candidates Bagyalakshmi was a participant

In the State level Junior 400 meters race held last year

...she is the State record holder, sir

I expected her to bag the gold in the National race

But she didn't participate at all

After that there was no news about her

After many weeks in some small-time newspaper

I read about the demise of that girl's father

And that was why she didn't participate in the Nationals, sir

Now she doesn't even have a job

There are many who share her fate, sir

"Like the sea ever so deep tunes and tones in a veena sleep"

"Like waves touch the shore veena yearns with desire underscore"

"When destiny rules your life why does fate single you with strife?"

"In dreams that disperse into a void why do you have a dream so varied?"

"Even when we share the same roof now"

"You are alone and I am aloof somehow"

"7 hues of the rainbow; vibgyor"

"Like a flash of lightning disappear"

Hear me out, Mithra

After Kathir and you get over this phase you may also have a daughter or son

Take my case I have a daughter

But my husband filed for a divorce and went his separate way

Everyone has ups and downs in their lives, Mithra

This too shall pass No need to worry

"Are you melody or clouds grey? Let me know either way"

"Does the fresh breeze blow asking permission from me or you?"

You'll win hands down in State level

That isn't enough

One gold in National level

Kathir sir, sign this please

Babu

Sir, did you call me?

Tell me, sir

You spoke about that girl the other day

Is it true?

Which girl?

That...junior State record holder

You said her father passed away So she couldn't participate

Yes, of course Bagyalakshmi

True, sir

The news published last year has been archived in our record room, sir

Sir, boss is calling me

Just wait till lunch break, sir

I'll get the paper cutting for you

Thank you, sir

You can find her details in this folder
