There are some small things that sometimes have a deep impact on your mind. Something of that sort happened last week. It might not be very interesting for you, so read at your own risk!
We have in the Delhi office of Webaroo a small conference room which can accommodate no more than 4 people at a time. There are just 4 chairs, a table, a phone, a white board and an AC in that room. The room is used for conferences, small group meetings and for having lunch (that too in groups of 4, turn by turn :))
Last week, i was in a meeting with my immediate boss Sagar, the project manager Jatin (he has told me to call him Sir only if the queen of England knights him :) ) and another member of my team. So, the room was full. Now, the VP India Operations of the company, Mr. Chirag Jain entered the room and showed interest in participating in the discussion. He, at around 45, is the eldest person we have in the office here. So, as a mark of respect (or probably being new to the system), i got up from my chair to offer him a seat. Holding me from my shoulder, he pushed me down back on the seat and said "My dear, agar aise hi uthne lage to zindagi bhar khade hi reh jaaoge!". Saying this, he left the room.
He said this in a very normal way but since then i have thought about the line a lot many times. And this really applies in many situations, at least in my case it does!!! :)
