An odd Saturday... Sumwhere in Chettinad land, there’s a tall guy(TG) sitting at his T3-26 desk planning to leave office early n hav a couple of large RCs at his latest Adda ,The Andhra club in Chennai (strange but true...). Its 11AM and he gets a call from a female colleague (L1) sitting sum 15 desks away who asks him to hold on. Shortly another female colleague (L2) joins in...sum 1500kms away from Delhi office and then the surprise entry...a lady manager (PM) joins in...sum 1000kms away in Mumbai.
