Share a fun and interesting story from work?
We had to catch the flight back to our office after an annual business get together outstation. I got call from my seniors that we had to reach the airport within an hour or so. I was senior among group of 3-4 colleagues, we all were scattered for sightseeing due to some personal reasons. I still have that funny moment afresh in my memory when I pranked with my colleagues that flight timings have been preponed so that we can gather immediately to leave for the airport from our hotel.

How do you spend your weekends?
Although our work is of 24 X 7 culture, apart from daily routine, on weekends I meditate for a bit longer duration. Due to various restriction these days, I spend most of the time with my children and wife. Talking to them about their interests and neutralities. Listening their complaints, dreams & future planning. We together watch daily soaps, web series, comedy show etc., and time permitted, I cook for them & play games.
